When I was 16, the father of the boy I was dating grounded his son for “dating a boy” and threatened to run me over with his car. The boy’s family shunned or harassed me online because they thought I was “tricking” him. His friends told him that he was confused. This language isn’t just a slur but also shapes our everyday lives as transgender women.
Depending on who you ask, the heartbeat bill is no joke. Gov. Kasich vetoed a similar measure in 2016 but now the republican senate has enough majority to potentially overturn a veto. Many republican lawmakers are hoping to use ohio to bring abortion back to the federal supreme court and overturn Roe v Wade. This is all in the last article I linked from the New York Times btw
So if the first article sounds too clickbait-y for you just know that ohio is actually proposing, and has a good chance of passing strict anti-abortion laws 🙃
When Adora first left the Horde she told Catra she was leaving because the Horde was evil, did monstrous things to innocent people, and had been lying to them the whole time. And Catra responded, “what, you didn’t know?”.
And there’s so much to unpack there, but what really killed me was when I thought about why that was. Why was Catra so cynical when Adora bought the propaganda?
It’s because of how they were raised. Shadowweaver raised both of them abusively, but they got different flavors of abuse. Adora was the Golden Child and Catra was the Scapegoat. They were both abused, but Catra caught the brunt of the most violent abuse. She knew the Horde hurt innocent people because she was one of them.
And that puts a whole new twist on how angry Catra was when Adora wanted to leave. When Adora said “what the Horde is doing is wrong and we should leave because of it”, Catra’s response wasn’t really “you’re just learning the Horde hurts innocent people now?” it was, “it wasn’t enough to make you leave when they hurt me?”.
That’s why she’s so angry. From her perspective, Adora was willing to leave the Horde because of what they did to these random people they’d never met before. But she’d never offered to do the same for her.
Catra refused to go with Adora because, just by asking, she broke her heart.
Do Debbigail shippers understand that Frank explicitly stated he didn’t want romantic stories between the triplets and he specifically wrote Dewey and Webby to be like siblings?
Because even claiming that shipping it is just for fun is creepy if you take the intention of the relationship in to consideration.
Honestly guys… Stop acting like relationships have to be romantic to be important. Stop shipping things that are practically incest because they’re “uwu cute and just for fun!!!” Because guess what?
