It’s a long thread that appears to boil down to “I’m not saying you can’t talk about the thing, I’m saying you can’t talk about the thing in any of the ways you might want to talk about the thing because I have a guilt complex”
“My ears are burning… are you talking about someone completely different to me but without taking the time to spell out that it’s obviously not about me again?”
Also, dare I say it, but when society expects devoted social care for disabled people to be undervalued and unpaid guess who usually ends up volunteering

Ok I saw a video that pissed me off re: surrogacy. I will try to post but I might have to post piecemeal because Twitter is shitty.
Plenty more eloquent feminists and medics have described the fundamental inequality in the way the mother’s entire body and brain is changed during pregnancy in preparation to take care of a baby. It’s a chemical, hormonal connection between mother and baby.
That the idea of a pregnant woman being an oven is a complete misunderstanding of what is happening: mother & baby are one being, birth is the beginning of the slow process of separation for both (it takes the baby several months to even realise its mother is a separate person)
If wearing hair extensions, false eyelashes, mountains of make-up, laser hair removal and cosmetic facial surgery constitute “living authentically” then wtf is living unauthentically
Lads the Russians did not shoot down MH370, you are mistaking them for competent villains
They are literally the worst ever at covering up crimes and getting away with it, including specifically the crime of shooting down a Malaysian Airlines passenger plane
And if they hijacked it and flew it to Kazakhstan, it would now feature in every single military parade painted with “definitely not MH370”
