robs trans women actors (who can’t get cis women roles) and gives those roles to cis men who already have an enormous amount of roles and opportunities
reinforces the false idea that trans woman are somehow equivalent or analagous to cis men in costume
like really thats all there is to it. theres nothing you can say that justifies this practice
So I was recruiting for my schools annual blood drive today at lunch. I asked my friend if he would donate and he said, “I can’t, I’m gay.” Since we are good friends we male fun of each other and make jokes at our own expense and I thought he was joking. But no. He was dead fucking serious. And I looked it up to verify.
In the US you are not allowed to donate blood if you are gay, bi, or lesbian.
I honestly have been pissed about this all day.
I FOUND THIS OUT PRETTY YOUNG AND I LITERALLY SHOUTED FOR LIKE AN HOUR BECAUSE I WAS SO PISSED.
Honestly Latinas are so incredibly important. Brown Latinas, Black Latinas, First Generation in the USA Latinas, Latinas who have to translate everything for their parents, fat Latinas, disabled Latinas, Latinas who were only ever told to speak English so they might fit in better, trans Latinas, all Latinas. You’re beautiful.
in 7th grade we had this german teacher who immigrated to america from Germany about 23 years ago and one guy in my class thought it would be funny to ask him “Hey, because you’re german does that make you a Nazi?” and in a very thick german accent he replies “Hey, because you’re a white american boy, does that make you a slaveholder?” and the kid never tried to be funny in that class again
Captain America’s Shield has been exposed to Tesseract Beams, fire, survived 70 years on ice, saved him from a 10 story drop onto concrete, and survived a 200 foot drop from a helicarrier.
Yet when you look at it, there are always 6 distinct scuffs on the shield that look like they were left there.
SHIELD could have easily taken them off, but why would he leave them you ask?
Because those marks were made by Peggy Carter. Left her mark on Steve and his shield
