@ChasingWaterfalls Some athletic females are fat. Some are ugly, some are both. Yes, they are less likely to be fat but some still are. What makes them women is that they're women, regardless of being fat, athletic, and/or ugly.

@LaylaAlexandrovna Holy WOW I just read this article... it insinuates that serial killer and farmer Robert Pickton, while guilty of murder, also was part of a complex crime network involving both gangs and police that resulted in the trafficking and murder of dozens or hundreds of women, some of whom were pinned on Pickton.
In 2020, when Covid hit, the RCMP tried to get the evidence in Pickton's trial destroyed.
Hey do you know what folks? Breathing is a spectrum. You can breathe and not even be animated, just think of how after you wear your clothing you leave it on a chair to 'let it breathe.' This means that breathing has nothing to do with being alive or dead or inanimate. So you can be both dead AND alive at the same time. It's up to livedead spectrum people to decide where THEY belong. Just because someone has a pulse, respiration and mortgage they are paying off doesn't mean they are alive and you shouldn't label them as such it is very bigoted. Some dead people breathe and walk around. Some of them like to hang out in morgues and be laid out on slabs. Conversely, some dead people are actually alive and they like to hang out at picnic benches on warm summer days. It's not their fault if they don't smell good or if they need a friend to help prop them up so they stay upright. Sorry cisanimate people, you don't get to determine where livedead spectrum people belong just because you're not used to having fingers break off in the onion dip at the picnic. Just consider it a different flavour of chip. Unpack your cisanimate privilege. Some cisanimate people say that this is all gross and dangerous to one's health. As usual, they fail to take into account the health of livedead spectrum people. When people without a heartbeat are excluded from places like restaurants, bus shelters and saunas, it is bad for their mental health. Well, at least for the health of whatever minds they have left which have not liquefied and leaked out of their ears or other body cavities. Another favoured tactic of livedeadphobes is claiming that the livedead lifedeadstyle is very disrespectful to the dead. They don't want respiring dead people holding funerals for themselves, and they say recurring funerals don't even make sense but not every dead person with a heartbeat stays dead- that's why it's called a SPECTRUM folks. So some may find they are dead some days, but living others. Some even experience coma days. This is another thing that cisanimates like to harp on about, how it's wrong to show up at a come patient's hospital room and get in the bed with them and say they are coma companions. The only people who have a problem with this are blinded by cisanimate privilege. Some livedead spectrum people also claim to have 'zombie' days or be in 'zombie state' full time and yes, I agree this is very wrong and unacceptable but please understand most of the livedead community and allies reject this racist form of cultural appropriation. You CANNOT be zombie state unless you are of Haitian descent or have gotten permission of someone of Haitian descent to be zombified and then have zombie state and it is unfortunate that some individuals exploit the livedead community for their own cultural appropriation and most of us condemn this. Even still, it is not okay to lump in all the livedead community with a few bad apples or to deadlivename them (by stating that they are alive because of their heartbeat and breathing, or that they are dead because they don't breath or have a pulse). Nice try, livedeadphobe.
@hearthmoon Yes that was quite disturbing. I don't know much about Clinton but I'm not a big fan of her's. I do think that whatever bullshit she's pulled, Trump has pulled the same or worse, or would if he could.
It seemed very much about the energy of domestic violence (though he's obviously not her spouse) and witch trials and violence (which is still happening in Africa).
‘As with sexuality, in the West binary categories dominate (male/female, gay/straight).
‘In modern-era Western history, these have been imposed on a human experience which is not binary through colonial incursion, when the values of one culture were imposed on another culture.’

Blackgendermoderate ?Sarah Boone was born into slavery and married a freedman at age 15. It's alleged that either she escaped her captors or her husband bought her freedom. Eventually, she took up dressmaking as a profession. She noticed the difficulty of flattening out creases in the sleeves and bodies of women's dresses. Ironing at the time was done on a wooden plank propped between chairs or on the kitchen table. Sarah developed a design of a tapered board on a stand. By rotating the fabric around the board, it completely smoothed any portion of a dress. Her design was issued US Patent # 473,653 on April 26, 1892.
Mrs Boone was one of the first Black American women to be issued a patent. I'm not sure if the photo below is hers, but this is my best guess. I was not able to find confirmation on whether her patent was the precursor to the modern board. I've read various articles and seen numerous errors or disputed parts of her history. I prefer to stick to the facts, which seem to be that she was one of the first Black women issued patents in the United States, and that she had one for an ironing board designed to help iron women's clothing, for which contemporary ironing boards were not suited towards.
The title is misleading and hyperbolic. The events were certainly not shocking. But they were disturbing and somewhat damning of the local police force and of the behavior of the men and women at the march.
The journalist, a woman, followed by a cameraman and filming with her own phone as well, spoke to several people, including Quebec politician Manon Masse, who is a 'cis' lesbian (according to their own claims. To be honest, I suspect this individual is hiding the fact that they are a trans-identified male BUT I could be wrong) and leader of a major Quebec political party.
The interviewees share their thoughts, including the opinion that puberty blockers are safe and reversible and were initially developed to treat precocious puberty in children (in fact, at least one puberty blockers, Lupron, was initially approved for use in treating prostate cancer in the 1980s. Throughout the years it's been used off-label to prevent precocious puberty in very young children (3 yr olds for example) and also chemical castration. However, it has had so many side effects that some people who took the drug seriously question its safety).
At some point, two young women wearing medical masks approach the journalist and ask her which media she's representing, which she refuses to disclose. This is where most of the trouble starts. The way that they ask the journalist is, in my opinion, meant to make her feel subtly afraid and cowed by authority and get her to submit to them. She is under no obligation to disclose anything, but I believe they want her to forget that and feel she does need to disclose it and treat them as legal authorities and treat what they say as law. I believe these two masked women understood full well they have no authority, and cannot compel the journalist to do anything, and are trying to use subtle and covert threat and assert dominance in such a way that they can claim ignorance if their intentions are openly named.
The above paragraph essentially represents how the rest of the journalist's stay went. The two women escalate their behavior and follow her through the park (the march hasn't started yet, people are mostly gathering and celebrating), repeatedly trying to apply subtle pressure and intimidation while being able to feign innocence. They keep asking the journalist which media she's with. She doesn't answer and asks why they need to know and if she is obligated to tell them. They try to manipulate her and use more verbal deception and misdirection. She catches them, during one of her interviews, off-screen giving a 'neck cutting' sign to the people being interviewed. At this point the journalist can't find more people to interview. Many have probably been warned that she is 'unsafe' and probably don't wish to be interviewed anymore. However, I also wonder if some of march participants are meant to be subtly threatened against interacting with the journalist in, again, a covert way that can be plausibly denied. She asks them why they're harassing and following her. They deny they are harassing her. They start asking her to leave. She points out they are not an authority and they admit they are not and keep simply asking her ('asking' while subtly but clearly threatening) her to leave.
At a certain point she speaks to the police. They do nothing but tell her to leave because she's causing problems. She explains she has a right to be there and that they should protect her. The police say there is nothing they can legally do. They make it very clear that they do not intend to protect her and are more concerned with using covert threats to get her to leave. I believe one says something like, "if you don't leave that's on you" or something like that.
