just because youre as stupid as a child does not mean the rest of us are lmao
Catch me giving all the kids on my block sticks and telling them to beat the fuck out of their teachers
Bullying doesn’t stop if you take away the stick.
Exactly. Now that sticks are banned, the children will use rocks to beat each other. Then what? Why don’t we instead raise children not to hit people and give the violent ones intervention they need so they can stop doing it?
reblog this and put in the tags what name/names your parents considered giving you
Mom wanted to call me William if I was a boy, Juliana, Maxine, or Billie if I was a girl. Dad wanted to name me Randy whether I was a boy or a girl. Somewhere along the way they chose to name me after a sailor moon character after my great great grandmother.
Charmaine. It was the title of her favorite song. My brother was allowed to name me – he chose the name of our uncle’s cocker spaniel.
Cinderella. Like not even Ella, Cinderella. It’s my mom’s favorite fairy tale and Disney movie. However she thought kids would tease me over the name so decided against it.
I am supposed to be Lekeitha or Anastasia… Yeah.
My middle name was supposed to be my first name originally. So I was gonna be Makenzie, but came out as Haley XD
I was thought to be a boy initially, so before I was born they referred to me as Vikram.
My mom wanted me to be named Spatika because it has the same meaning as her name, but it was shot down because my dad said “at school people will call her spats or sputnik”
My grandfather wanted me to be named Meenakshi after the Madurai Meenakshi temple, but my grandmother chose my current name after reading it in a baby names book and that was the one was the one they went for.
People who believe that small children are proof that gender roles are natural are really on a whole other level.
A young child, using words she learned purely by mimicking the way others speak: I want to be a mommy when I grow up.
Y’all absolute Mensa candidates: Wow. This child is a blank slate. Completely unaffected by society. Guess lady-brains truly are the only explanation here, science deniers.
No one here ever said that. This is a strawman of the argument that kids can have sex dysphoria.
Tucutes and Terfs really need to stop believing that gender roles and gender are one and the same. Liking blue instead of pink and wearing jeans instead of skirts isn’t the same as your brain screaming “WHY DON’T I HAVE A PENIS???” every time you look in the mirror and feeling crippling depression every time you undress.
Gender roles differ from culture to culture and are imposed by society, however your genetic makeup stays the same everywhere you are.
The presence or absence of gender dysphoria is not the defining factor of gender.
Gender dysphoria can be purely social according to the dsmv’s criteria on gender dysphoria. In other words, someone’s dysphoria can be only about gender roles and gender expression and you’d still qualify for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
The idea that gender dysphoria is always crippling depression all the time, is a lie and it’s unhelpful to dysphoric people. Gender dysphoria can be extremely disabling but it doesn’t have to be extreme or all the time, forever.
Anyway, there are people who see very young girls playing with dolls and think that her liking of dolls over blocks is some type of innate cause. There are whole debates when it comes to topics like this lol.
And children can have gender dysphoria.
I never said that children can’t have gender dysphoria. They can, but the problem is a lot of people are confusing children and making them think they must be trans because they break gender roles, but they aren’t.
I don’t like to wear skirts or dresses, I don’t like makeup. I prefer cool colours to warm colours. I prefer video games and building toys to doll toys and frilly things. If I tell people my problems it’s because I want a solution not sympathy. I’m more logical than emotional, I don’t like flirting with boys or going to parties.
But I am still a girl. This doesn’t make me a different gender. Just because I behave outside what cultures consider women should be like, this does not suddenly make me “trans-masc” or “demiboy” or “nonbinary” or anything of the sort.
However this current wave of “gender is a social construct” is legitimately confusing people. I see gnc girls who would otherwise have absolutely no questions about their gender suddenly thinking they’re not “really girls” because they don’t behave like a 1950s stereotype. And this isn’t being peddled by conservatives, it’s being peddled by progressive people.
Atypical dysphoria or nonbinary exists, and those people need support and help, but telling children that “you like pokemon instead of frozen, so gender is a social construct” is just going to make things worse and result in people detransitioning and such.
“i’m a feminist, but not one of those man-hating ones” yeah, that’s why you’re fucking useless
lmfao i really have been carrying the same energy with me for over a year
the #nohomo of feminism
“you don’t have to be a hairy man hating dyke to be a feminist!!!”
everyone on this post is ugly
Feminists: “you’re ugly”
Wow, I’m so compelled by toddler insults to join this movement.
you must have been slammed on the head as a kid and that’s why you can’t read properly because a feminist wasn’t the one who made the “everyone on this post is ugly” comment
Oh, sorry, I’m used to feminists and especially TERFs using that script, so I was thrown off.
Now, your response isn’t any better. I still get small children vibes here.
Wow, feminism exposes itself as what it is! You’re not pro women! You’re anti men!
i think the greatest irony of the whole “fatphobia” thing is that americans eat the most disgusting, greasy, unhealthy food and then will scream for hours about how theyre oppressed for it !! you just ate like 6000 calories in one sitting in the form of a milkshake and you think that the malnourished, starving child in the global south has privilege over you bc they can fit into an airplane seat !! what the fuck !!
I legitimately believe there is a conspiracy in the USA that restaurants feed healthy people big portions on purpose.
I’m 118 lbs, which in India is average weight, but in America that is considered thin. Every time I visit America and go to a food place, I am always given one size bigger than what I ask for. I ask for a small, they give me a medium. I ask them “are you sure this is a small” and I get told “we have a bigger one if you want.” I have sometimes considered asking for child meals, but the child meals are almost always nonveg, which I can’t eat for religious reasons.
I’ve seen posts circling the internet that confirm this theory. Like the Tumblr meme which goes “when those skinny bitches order diet coke I give them a regular” and the infamous Virgie Tovar cake video where she says “just take the cake slice you’re given asking for a small one is oppression.”
It makes me never want to eat outside if I know that everyone is trying to make me an unhealthy blob.
