In my fifth grade class, a few kids were worried they'd developed breast cancer. There were informative ads on TV at the time describing hard lumps in one breast which do not move freely. They'd scoured the library. The working theory was that the drainage field behind our school held toxic effluent.

This was, of course, normal early breast tissue development.

Selectively hiding information from children about their own bodies is cruel.

HORNY AND HUNGRY = HORNGRY

absolutely floored to learn that Mambo No. 5 is a cover

people just don't realize how transphobia is literally a death sentence

folks really don't understand how excusing marginalizations at any fucking level excuses a society that shuns/bullies/kills people for fucking existing
