I love him so much. He keeps proving why he's my favorite DW showrunner

I forget sometimes that most people in this site don't know/realise how incredibly trans the Moffat era is. There is a major arc based around a character's name that ends with the emphatic assertion that only name that matters is the one you choose yourself. There's a major character who changes gender and becomes a better, happier, and more realised person afterwards. Gender fluidity is made a major aspect of Time Lord culture. There is a Venn diagram overlap of trans girls and Capaldi-era stans, and it's for a good reason.

The TERFs absoloutly remember, they're having a field day in the notes getting progressives to say "Trans Inclusive Radical Mysogonist" unironically, as if that isn't the TERF word for anyone who supports trans rights.

Guh, Moffat repeatably wrote about women struggling with the difficult parts of their self identity and developing self love, and wrote the Doctor discovering his toxic masculine traits of pride and self centeredness and putting that aside to instead embrase kindness and consideration. Moffat has had a massive trans following as early as 2011, and he knew that because he met us at cons and had a lot of time for us.

That was part of the reason it was so important for TERFs to get everyone to pick apart every idiotic thing he said in interviews.

Guy had been campagining for the BBC to let the Doctor become a woman since the 90s. Guy does have some problematic views but supporting trans women is extremely par the course for him.

#Tumblr is all about trans rights until it comes to thinking critically about their own memes #one of the most vocal 'misogynist moffat' critics is also an open and dedicated TERF #and it was her articles that set the tone for Tumblr's reflexively anti-moffat stance since #so#um #maybe y'all should think about that

since a certain other version of this post is getting popular again, friendly reminder that if you reblog the version with the phrase “TIRM” then you are spreading TERF ideology and doing a worse job of trans allyship than the man you’re complaining about :)

good god op i am so sorry people keep doing this shit to you

FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN IN HONOUR OF MY SISTER’S BIRTHDAY!

Today, July 3, would have been my sister Mariam’s 22nd birthday. She was with my father in Gaza and went missing in October, with no one being able to locate her since. We consider her one of the many beautiful martyrs that became buried under the rubble and are unable to be properly accounted for.

Mariam was the most important person in my life, I miss her every second of every day and it is important for me to use the love I will always have for her into helping the people I can right now.

To honour her memory this year I am hoping to raise money for 3 specific gofundme campaigns:

Dina and her children (CAD)

Noor and Alaa (euro)

Ayman and his family (USD)

These are all fundraisers with very few donations, and ones I have personal connections with. From today until July 31, I am hoping to raise as much money for them in Mariam’s memory.

General Donation Overview:

  • I use ‘€’ for the currency in this post, but it is the same equivalent for $ USD/CAD (€25 is $25 etc) depending on what gofundme you donate to
  • Make sure to send your proof of donation directly to me (through asks or messages) and make sure the date, amount and gfm are visible. If applicable, please also send me a mailing name/address

Every TWENTIETH (20th) donor will receive a handmade Palestine themed item (must be comfortable giving a mailing name/address)

For every €1,000 raised I will donate €20 to each fundraiser (all I can afford right now, but amount is subject to change as my financial situation changes this month!)

Specific Donation Amount Rewards:

€5-24 donation - you will have my never ending love and support :)

€25 donation - you will receive all of the above AND I will send you a handwritten message in a card with this medieval Palestine flag print design on it from @werewolf-transgenderism! (support Miles on inprnt here!!)

  • To receive this you will need to be comfortable send a mailing name/address for the envelope. If you want a different name/something specific in the card let me know! (I will send anywhere)

€50 donation - you will receive all of the above AND be entered to a brand new copy of either the book Men in the Sun by Ghassan Kanafani or The Butterfly's Burden by Mahmoud Darwish

  • 2 winners will be chosen, book choice will be first come first serve for the winners. You must be comfortable giving a mailing address (I will ship anywhere)

€150 donation - you will receive all of the above AND a handmade Palestine themed item (without having to be a certain donor number)

Gofundme Goal Rewards:

If Dina’s fundraiser reaches $2,000 CAD - I will attempt to cook my way through The Gaza Kitchen (I have an older edition) and document my journey/share recipes

If Noor’s fundraiser reaches €2,000 - I will start a virtual book club for books by Palestinian authors (if this happens I will figure out logistics later)

If Ayman’s fundraiser reaches $2,000 USD - I will learn how to crochet (I don’t know how) and will document my journey/giveaway all my (bad) creations :)

That’s it for now, sorry it’s so much info in one post!! You guys raised over $11,500 USD for the fundraising campaign I did in January to honour my father’s birthday and I am hoping this fundraising campaign for my sister can come close to that. As always, please let me know if you have any questions :)

[ID: a series of screenshots of Guardian articles. 1. A screenshot from an article prior to the election results: "Jeremy Corbyn is making a final push to try to hold on to his parliamentary seat in one of the more unpredictable battles of the election, made more uncertain because many voters still seem to believe he is the Labour candidate. With a week to go until polling day, the former Labour leader's campaign team is trying to marshal crowds of volunteers to knock on doors in the Islington North seat he has represented since 1983, reminding them that this race is different."

2. A continuation of the first article: "Will the enthusiasm be enough? In a contest unlike any other in this election it is impossible to say, even if some of Corbyn's supporters say he faces an uphill battle. Labour is also cautious, but perhaps slightly less so. "The thing about Jeremy is that he always overestimates how popular he is," one party source said."

3. An article from after Corbyn eon his seat: "Jeremy Corbyn re-elected in Islington North after expulsion from Labour Former Labour leader continues to represent constituency he has held since..." /end ID]

Hate Hate Hate stories that reward characters for refusing to do triage. 'I refuse to choose only one to survive even if it means both die' [plot contrives for this to be the only way both survive] is so weak. Making difficult decisions with no good outcome is not a moral failing

i love when i unsubscribe from a mailing list and the thing is like “You’ve unsubscribed, if this was a mistake, resubscribe here.” as if i didn’t have to use an 8x sniper scope to find the damn unsubscribe button in your email in the first place

You ever think about how Kris robbed the local library?

Are they going to shove their family TV into the school closet as well? And what if the Dark Fountain there is suddenly closed? Will it just burst with all of the junk Kris has collected?
