Pope Francis kinda occupies the same space as William Faulkner for me, you know? Like someone who both spoke out against discrimination in a way that was unusual for their particular spot in society, but was also still super bigoted themselves against those same people they were ostensibly trying to make life better for

Idk, people are complicated, per usual

Man, I hate being broke

PSA - IMPORTANT FOR CHANNEL OWNERS

there is a scheme going around, the average claim is that there are "ukrainian nazis" trying to hack LGBTQ channels by using "private channel IDs" or something like that. random users will text you offering to help and the solution they propose is to add a sketchy bot that claims to "hide your channel ID". that is a SCAM and you should NEVER in ANY circumstances add a random bot to your channel. even if it seems to be safe in a separate testing channel, do not do that!

the people doing this are the actual homophobes trying to hack your channel. if someone texts you out of nowhere for something that sounds like this scheme, block and report

Like these posts, but want to add on that radfem =/= equal terf

In all honesty, I dislike the term terf (even though I still use it lol) because it presents trans exclusion as a property exclusive to radfems. While there certainly are radfems who are transphobic, (and some big names as well) let's be so for real, liberal feminists (such as JKR) are almost always the biggest offenders

To quote Gillian Branstetter:

"Trans exclusion is more often a shortcoming of liberal feminism than an excess of radical feminism"
