autism is widely underdiagnosed in girls because autistic women tend to present as quiet and reserved, which is just how women are supposed to be.

personality disorders are underdiagnosed in men because they tend to present more explosively and involve more narcissistic behaviours, which is just how men are supposed to be.

sexism isn’t good for anyone. don’t be fooled.

when ppl ask why gender roles are dangerous!!!!! peep this!!!!!!

The Dyke’s Complaint

epicene-writing:

Here
comes the Dyke, from night to night,

A neon light,

A smoke.

Here
comes the Dyke, and her footsteps

Are
glued with spit,

Are
marked with teeth;

She
seeps from darker walls,

Standing
still, or walks

Or
disappears into the depths

Of
a silent subway.

Her
face? you ask

Her
clothes?

Thicker
than silk,

Smoother
than wool

That’s
all you need to know.

Here
comes the Dyke,

Alone,
and so

That
her shadow’s thinking

About
leaving for good

And
in the Dyke’s shadow

Raise,
and fall

A
sobbing girl

Huddled
on the floor

Under
a tapestry –

The
moon’s absent,

No
lamp is lit at the window

And
trains are passing by:

Here
goes the Dyke, who knows

That
her shadow won’t leave for now.

Kinda fucked up how cis women are allowed to abandon feminity in the name of feminism but trans women are forced to adopt it just to be recognized as women

even worse is when cis feminists accuse trans women who overperform femininity for safety of being tools of the patriarchy, and trans women who underperform femininity for ANY reason (including abandoning it in the name of feminism) fakers.

TIL The Beatles approached Stanley Kubrick to direct a LOTR movie starring themselves. Tolkien killed the project as a result of his hate for The Beatles. A hate developed after moving 3 doors down from The Beatles in 1964, who irked him with the “indescribable” noise from their practice sessions.

the man who spents hundreds of pages describing trees and meals and worked out the linguistics of multiple fictional languages and the entire cosmology of his fictionsl world called the Beatles’ rehearsal sounds “indescribable”
