Gosh, it’s almost like what we all said would happen is happening.

Once again, anti-trans bigotry is rooted in trying to control and police every facet of womanhood including how cis women wear our hair.

Buy Anne's book!

We need more stories where men have grace, empathy and love for monstrous women.

*cries in mula sem cabeça*
quote tweet saying: Any discourse on this starts and ends with the reality that it is 2025 and we still don’t have one story of a man in love with a monstrous woman in mainstream media. Not one. Original tweet has a picture of Mia Goth in Del Toro's Frankenstein with a (white?) dress, and says: and mind you, it's always a woman having empathy for the monster and showing it love because we know and recognize marginalisation on a deep level

This is the way.

Men are not expected to balance career snd family. The implication is that they have women to do that for them.

Meanwhile, women regardless of how successful their career might be, are assumed to be doing 50-99% of domestic labor.

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

In other news, the man I addressed as ‘bro’ is not, in fact, my biological male sibling.

My deepest apologies.
