Testosterone is not a drug y'all. It's a natural hormone. I don't know who needs to hear this but it odd to think we all don't both have both estrogen and testosterone naturally.
And I just in case folk get all literal on me. BOTH men and women have both estrogen and testosterone. If this is news to you read a book. They are hormones that have specific functions.
so if you want to come into this thread about masculine or feminine energy like that isn't a social construct versus biology. I'm not here for it. that's not this convo.
Lastly, those that will use this to be transphobic. I'm not here for that either.
let me drop this little tidbit for the men. You are born a girl with xx chromosomes before you become a male. so yes female first male second. The y in xy generally kicks out the second x after 6 weeks. That doesn't always happen. So sometimes you get xxy. Never yyx.
only added that tidbit cause most of you walk around with very little factual info about how our bodies work. all sorts of BS about our reproductive nature. Learn something before you open your mouths and sound ignorant. Tell me I'm elitist. I learned all of this in the projects.
I'm probably going to keep adding to this thread.

ask yourselves why aren't men being tested for their estrogen levels while performing?

You know this one is for you.

I'm going to talk about sundown towns in this thread today. I've been in several rooms on CRT and other aspects of the way we look at laws but also "the rules are the rules" framing that continues to go around. For most of us the rules and laws are for some.
Now. I've said this many times. Sundown towns still exist. Signs are still posted and Sirens go off. Yet I'm told over and over sundown towns are illegal. Asking for you so why are the signs and sirens still existing?
"The rules of a sundown town were simple: Black people were allowed to pass through during the day or go in to shop or work, but they had to be gone by nightfall. Anyone breaking the rules could risk arrest, a beating or worse." apnews.com/article/virus-…

Just a reminder why we are not happy.
a personal note. I used to choreograph hip-hop dances. When I went off to camp. I would do the shows there and there was always this girl who I won't name that called herself a trained dancer that would always show up and try to take my moves. This is OLD... yes she was a Becky
and I will say it. One of the things that got me in trouble at home was the jams and dance battles. My competition gene was fierce and there were people who didn't like to lose to a girl. I had a crew that kept me safe.

I know this is an opinion piece. And I'm going to break down why this is a problem. A problem media keeps participating in. 🧵

Opinion | Critical race theorists do not do what Ted Cruz says they do msnbc.com/opinion/ted-cr… via @msnbc @KevinMKruse
Right now the media CONTINUES to do profile pieces on insurrectionists and white supremacists.

As a Black woman in this country with centuries of this behavior all I see is a repeat of what my Ma would whisper about. y'all are elevating people that want me and mine dead.
Those that continue to twist narratives that our defending ourselves from people who want us dead are the real racists and the violent ones.

But yet scream the first and second amendment. Just NOT for us. That's what you are saying. That's what you keep writing.

Mase just told women who battle infertility on CH that god is a healer because he can't imagine that women wouldn't be able to have children of their own. I should not have gotten on this freaking app.
Now he's trashing women. re: the song Savage!! Wonder which women he's talking about.
rappers that rapped about death are dead. He's really going on...

let me say something here. He's supposed to be an ally but this is his take and please read the comments as he responds to those challenging him. But he's supposed to be the expert.
and I'm going to add something here. BP are constantly told that they can't cover stories about racism because they are too close to it.

I think we need to start saying WM can't cover White supremacists because they are too close to defending WM because they are one.
the level of defensiveness of WP being called racists should mean they shouldn't be seen as experts on it cause they will defend their own til the cows come home.

As you know I've been spending time in these rooms on CH. There is a lot of harassment and disinformation. One of the tools they implemented is Blocking. I have words on it. I'm quoted in the article below. Let's chat.
The Blue Check Mark’s Evil Cousin bit.ly/3wlpJGV
The feature is problematic in the natural progression of how humans interact and how the platform works. Also, while the article describes how anti-semitism, misogyny and coronavirus misinformation have come into play, racism was missing from the conversation.
Including the use of a black exclamation mark was the chosen icon utilized to signal that a user is blocked, which is rooted in the "black is bad" effect that perpetuates antiblackness.
