"I lost respect when I learned of Gandhi’s body hatred and even more that he refused to have sex with his wife for the last thirty-eight years of their marriage (in fact he felt that people should have sex only three or four times in their lives) I lost even more [respect] when I found out that in order to test his commitment to celibacy, he had beautiful young women lie next to him naked through the night: evidently his wife - whom he described as looking like a ‘meek cow’ - was no longer desirable enough [to] be a solid test"

Yeah, Gandhi was an unbelievably selfish individual. My biggest reason for losing respect for him, though, was that he criticized the Jews for defending themselves against the Holocaust — he insisted that they should have committed public mass suicide in order to “shame” the Germans instead of fighting back.

…. In order to shame the Germans?  WTF?  The Germans wouldn’t’ve been shamed - they’d’ve been thrilled to get their way so easily!

Gandhi’s exact words were: “But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs. As it is, they succumbed anyway in their millions.” He also wrote an open letter to the British people in 1940 telling them to surrender to the Axis even if it meant accepting genocide:

“I would like you to lay down the arms you have as being useless for saving you or humanity. You will invite Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini to take what they want of the countries you call your possessions. Let them take possession of your beautiful island, with your many beautiful buildings. You will give all these but neither your souls, nor your minds. If these gentlemen choose to occupy your homes, you will vacate them. If they do not give you free passage out, you will allow yourself, man, woman and child, to be slaughtered, but you will refuse to owe allegiance to them.”

he was also anti-black (lost all respect for him after reading how he treated sub-saharan africans).

read this. everyone needs to know gandhi’s “true colors”.

Ghandi was a pedophile, to boot.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY ENTIRE LIFE THANK YOU

I CANNOT FUCKING STAND THE WAY HE IS PORTRAYED 

HE WAS AN ABUSER WHO HIT HIS WIFE AND HIS DAUGHTERS ALSO

(via oliveseraphim)

He also refused his wife medication that would have saved her life [for religious reasons], but when he himself was in a similar position decided that it was okay to make an exception.

(via madgastronomer)

He was extremely misogynist, in fact he undermined any progress that might have been made in women’s rights in India. He was also racist against Black people in South Africa. He was deeply hypocritical in many ways.

I’ve always assumed most women do this, but every time I bring it up to a friend she always acts like I reinvented the wheel, so just in case y’all don’t do this and it might come in handy:

If you’re a plus-size lady or just have really large breasts, you’ve probably noticed most the cute bras are made for the itty bitties. Easy fix: buy a pack of bra extensions. As long as you find your cup size, you can make any bra fit. I found mine at Target for 7 bucks; and they have them available with two hooks or three. Even if you find a bra in the junior section, as long as it’s your cup size, you can even use multiple extenders at once to make anything fit. The four I bought today were size 34 and I typically wear a 38 or 40.

WAHT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT! What! Why is this news to me? WHAT!

For my followers with big boobs!

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

BRA EXTENSIONS ARE A THING?????

I thought everyone knew that? You can also get them at Joann’s. They come in black, tan, and white.

Umm, as someone studying medicine, I can tell you that messing with your hormones by taking supplements isn’t exactly healthy. I am not trying to criticize your life choices, but I do want to warn you about the possible health issues that may arise.

Then you should also want to educate yourself on Gender Dysphoria. Over 41% of transgender people attempt suicide. The majority of those people due so because they can’t medically transition by taking hormones. It’s life or death for a lot of transgender people. The fact that people don’t understand that is the exact reason transgender people are so marginalized. If he or any other transgender individual needs to take hormones the outcome of NOT taking the hormones has far greater risks (statistically: ending their life) than the minor side effects that have been studied and documented over the last several decades.

Then it would seem to me that therapy would be the more logical first choice of treatment then, considering that it has no side effects whatsoever. As for not understanding, I am aware that transgenders are victim to severe depression. I guess we disagree on the best course of treatment. I feel that severely altering one’s body is neither safe nor a successful method of treatment, but I understand that this is not my decision to make.

Being transgender and understanding transsexualism is hard to understand, unless you experience it for yourself. I’m going to try to adress several parts of this and try to help you understand, since you seem to be a person willing to try to understand other perspectives.

First, to address your first comment. I’m not sure if you mean “supplement” as in something akin to dietary supplements, but if that was what you meant then he is certainly not taking that. Either way, HRT is not in anyway dangerous. You are “studying” medicine, that doesn’t make you a medical expert. I believe a good majority of the medical community will agree with me in saying that HRT is a safe way to help treat gender dysphoria. There are risks, but most of the time they do not lead to long term health issues. I wish I had sources, but sadly I’m not as prepared I would like to be to have this debate. Actually, a lot of people get HRT as they get older to help with health issues. Granted, it’s not cross sex hormones like transgender people take, but “messing with hormones” can actually be beneficial. Plus, it’s not like we get this stuff off the black market. It’s prescribed by credible physicians who specialize in this type of thing. It’s done in a safe manner, and if health problems do occur the treatment is stopped.

On your second point: no, therapy does not help. It’s not the most effective treatment because it does nothing to fix the disassociation the brain has with the body. It’s not psychological, it’s neurological. You can put someone who is transgender through years of intensive therapy and that will not change a thing about them. Depression is a side effect of what’s actually going on.

This has nothing to do with this discussion, but I really hope you try harder in your studies and learn from credible sources. If you don’t, I really hope you choose a medical field that doesn’t involve being in contact with people who are possibly transgender. If anything, you would probably get a lot of lawsuits, either for malpractice or discrimination. I don’t really know how it works, but I can imagine it won’t help your future career in anyway to continue to be ignorant.

Thank you for your response. After reading up on some more articles from a different and more recent source, I retract my earlier statements about HRT being a dangerous procedure. I originally read a study linking it to various coronary diseases, but that study was outweighed by the others I found. I would like to clarify that I do not view transgender people as inhuman, and I apologize to those whom I offended. Thank you very much for providing your critique in a professional, informative manner.

even shows with great representation like how to get away with murder and orange is the new black refuse to acknowledge bisexuality and it’s fucking infuriating, if a character is shown to have had a past relationship with someone of the same gender or another gender they always have to reinforce and prove their heterosexuality or homosexuality to their new partner as means of a fucking character arc and it makes no sense.
