why you shouldn't say "women and nonbinary people": a thread
1. It makes it sound like nonbinary people are some kind of subcategory or extension of women, which is not generally true.

There *are* nonbinary women and woman-aligned people! But it's not true for all nonbinary people/nonbinary people in general.
2. Grouping enbies with women perpetuates binary structures because you still end up with only two groups.

Here we go, using #InternationalWomensDay to insult women who think women are oppressed based on their sex and don't believe selling and enslaving poor and vulnerable women and girls is empowering.
I mean if sex work was just work then why is it that the least experienced and youngest are sold for the highest amount of money? #InternationalWomensDay
Just the other day I read about all those poor women trafficked into academia....

However, the mullahs’ sentenced her to death.

She was 26 when hanged.

Good morning.

I need to share a few things.

About a war.
Many don't know about.
That has killed a lot of people.
That we the U.S. are helping fight.
But Congress never voted on.

YEMEN. (And next week Congress will finally vote.)

Thread (1/x) (photo: Hani Mohammed/AP)
This war is bad. Do not look away. It's brutal.

A dictatorship -- Saudi Arabia's King Salman -- is bombing its next door neighbor -- Yemen. And not paying much attention to where those bombs land. (2/x)
Our own U.S. government has supplied bombs, cluster bombs, jet fuel, and intelligence to Saudi Arabia in its war.

When Saudi jets fly to Yemen to drop their bombs -- THEY GET REFUELED ON THE WAY BY THE U.S. AIR FORCE.

(And Congress never voted on this.) (3/x)
