I think you're seeing bigotry where there was none intended. I was trying to make my language as clear as possible and obviously failed.

Honestly, talking isn't my strong suit, nor is trying to explain things to people looking to fault me at every turn.

I could try and explain my point to you again about avoiding the possibility of pregnancy if your life is quite literally on the line, but I doubt it will change anything about how you read me.

For what it's worth, I am a queer afab who has had more than a few close relationships, and plenty of friendships, with both trans women and trans men, and have been an ally since I got into feminism as a young teen.

Turns out it was Death Grips.

Is this sort of thing what you normally talk to your therapist about? Must be nice to have so few troubles.

I'm not saying trans rights are unrelated to feminism.

I'm saying that transphobic rhetoric has been shoehorned into this cause and has nothing to do with abstaining from PiV sex for the safety and respect of ovulating people.

Also you may not be aware of how conservative South Korea is. There probably are more than a few transphobic 4b South Koreans as feminism as a movement is still newer there.

In 'western' countries, radical feminism (with all its flaws) was an integral part of the cultural/philosophical journey into the 3rd wave and intersectional feminism as we know it today.

It would be really nice if the gender critical terf bullshit could be skipped when other cultures journey into exploring feminism, but as conservative culture by definition has such deeply ingrained bigotry towards minorities, it might sadly just be inevitable.

Any death metal fans able to explain why I'm making the association between the hat and lolly costume and the music genre?

BLM marches and activism happened all over the world because of "keyboard warriors" spreading the word.

What the fuck is that?

Look up trans healthcare rights in the UK. Transphobia is actively being promoted by our government based on shitty unfounded but politically backed science like the Cass report.

And while the UK is probably one of the safest places in the world to be gay, there is still homophobia. If you're visibly queer and ever have to rely on healthcare services, you will most likely experience it.

Some areas in the UK have drastically better autism and adhd services than others. Like day and night drastically.

From memory, and sorry to direct you back there, Reddit's UK autism and adhd boards did have some resources on this, and will probably have enough of a user base to be able to give you a good idea of where is currently good or bad.

Cheltenham is probably still really good for both NHS and charity/independent adhd, autism and mental health services for both kids and adults- but my information on the area is now nearly 5 years old, so you will have to look it up for yourself.

And I can only speak for NHS adult adhd, autism and MH services in North London, but they're next to non existent here and will, from experience, very likely be actively detrimental when you are able to access anything.
