In one of the 3 remaining abortion clinics in Alabama, @ItsJustMeMia has been forcing the anti-abortion shits to listen to my 7 Necessary Sins for Women & Girls audiobook (which I recorded). I am hounoured that I am there with her and everyone at the clinic.
She says that everytime I say "abortion" the antis yell “LIES!” proving they’re actually listening. And they complain to her “PROPAGANDA! THIS IS PROPAGANDA, MIA!
Mia:“If you don’t like what you’re hearing you can always go home.This is MY property & I’ll listen to what I want!”
Thank you @ItsJustMeMia and all who work at @POWERHouseAla. I am honoured that you are blasting my words at those fuckers. And as soon as we can travel, I would love to come to Alabama and stand in love and solidarity with you all. ❤️💜🖤
I send all my love and solidarity to @ItsJustMeMia and all fighting to keep this healthcare safe and legal to all who need it - abortion care providers, clinic escorts and all keeping clinics open. Thank you all ❤️✊🏽💜
I was happy to blurb Dr. Meera Shah’s You’re the Only One I’ve Told, an abortion provider who is a woman of colour and in which she “highlights the experiences of women of colour, and incorporates the perspectives of a trans person seeking an abortion...” ipgbook.com/you-re-the-onl…
"To declare "I own my body" is revolutionary. To say "I count" is revolutionary. We do that by sharing our stories. And when our stories come together they create a subversive wave that sweeps away shame and silence.” #abortionishealthcare

The more they undress, the more #Egyptian men are celebrated for virility, masculinity, strength. These are students of the Police Academy on display on Thursday for our fascist dictator Sisi, whose regime has been arresting women for dancing and singing, fully clothed, on TikTok
When they undress, #Egyptian male celebrities expect to be praised. They are not slut-shamed or criminalized.
#Egyptian women are criminalized, slut-shamed & punished in the name of “morality” - whether they are in “revealing” clothes or hijab. Actress Rania Youssef faced jail in 2019, for "inciting debauchery" over a dress bbc.in/2D2JY32
For grown women: So successful has white supremacist patriarchy been at convincing white women that they’re lucky to live in the U.S. & not Saudi Arabia or Iran, that so many white women didn’t pay enough attention to the theocracy being built right here feministgiant.substack.com/p/if-amy-coney…
Tell your mother I said it is time-way beyond time-for white American women to recognize that no amount of acquiescence will protect them from patriarchy.
I am writing to you because I want you to know the importance of telling a man to shut the fuck up. feministgiant.substack.com/p/letter-dear-…
So students of the #Egyptian Police Academy can parade shirtless for Sisi but the regime arrests women - fully dressed - for selfies and videos on TikTok? h/t @almudenariverob
The more clothes #Egyptian men remove, the more they are celebrated for virility - from the police academy to celebrities

FEMINIST GIANT Newsletter roundups are compiled and written by five interns who bring you global and intersectional news of feminist resistance. I’m thrilled to have younger feminists on board.
I launched FEMINIST GIANT Newsletter because I wanted to be independent and to own my writing.
I commissioned independent artist @sxgx to create a logo for FEMINIST GIANT and look what she made - I am thrilled!
Coming soon FEMINIST GIANT Twitter account complete with header!
Check out Sheyam Ghieth on Instagram where she posts her wonderful queer graphic designs such as this one today that says “Non-binary” in Arabic غير ثنائي
And the T-shirts!

Prosecutors now say it was an attempted robbery and not sexual harassment that preceded the dragging murder of this young woman. The original arrest warrant charged the men with sexual harassment. I believe they dropped that when they saw the public outcry. #Egypt
Ever since I shaved off my hair, when I’m outside now and wearing a mask, I can tell several people are confused and trying to figure out my gender.
I didn’t enjoy that when I was younger and had very short hair. Now I genuinely do enjoy their confusion.
Two women at a park today double taked in puzzlement and it was just fine for me.
That was one of the reasons I shaved it all off - I wanted to go back to the “Are you a boy or a girl?” days and handle it with the power I didn’t have then. patreon.com/posts/39707653
