Interesting that no one thinks twice about this kind of gender affirming care for men. Yet, trans men are under fire continuously. Such a double standard and such unnecessary suffering and chronic stress.

I Was Told I’m a “Liberal Extremist” for Calling Out J.K. Rowling—and Honestly, I’m Done Pretending Bigotry Needs Balance and TERFs Deserve Any Grace

Bertrand Russell’s two messages to future generations (from 1959):
1. When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only: “what are the facts, and what is the truth that the facts bear out?"
2. Love is wise, hatred is foolish.

March 10, 1971: A group of lesbian women stormed a Paris radio studio to interrupt a show called “Homosexuality, a painful problem.” They silenced the priest being interviewed and called on homosexuals to fight. This event would later be dubbed “Stonewall on the air.”
