Oh fucking hell why is my activity feed full of terfs
They just keep coming?!
Yes, the transplants work - there have been 8 successful pregnancies so far.
No, they aren’t excessively dangerous - no one has been harmed or killed.
No, it doesn’t mean the fetus will be half yours.
Yes, they do take uteri from living donors - the living donor transplants have been much more successful than those using deceased donors.
No, you are not in any danger of having your uterus harvested after your death against your will, even if you are registered a an organ donor.
No, it isn’t “impossible” to transplant organs and tissues between sexes. The sex of the donor is not a barrier to transplant for other organs and tissues and trans men have been able to carry healthy pregnancies to term despite years of HRT.
Read a book and grow up.
No, “male” pelvic girdles aren’t “too small” or “the wrong shape” for a uterus to fit in. It’s an internal organ about the size of a lemon; as it expands it will grow upwards and outwards, just like in cis women; and no one is expecting a vaginal delivery.
No, they don’t transplant the ovaries or vaginal canal along with the uterus. The embryo is created via IVF and it will not have the donor’s DNA unless they are also the egg donor.
No, a uterus on it’s own isn’t “useless” without a “female” body to magically imbue it with baby-making power.
The initial image is a size comparison between the statue of liberty and a wind turbine. The wind turbine is over ninety feet (about 28 meters) taller.
A commenter pretended to misinterpret the image as one of a wind turbine attacking the statue of liberty. The next commenter answered with an image of Don Quixote, a literary character who once thought a windmill was a monster and announced his plans to fight it. They are joking that if a wind turbine attacked the statue of liberty, Don Quixote would be willing to fight the wind turbine.
Incidentally, that scene led to the English idiom “tilting at windmills,” meaning a person who has not only disproportionate reactions of anger, but disproportionate reactions of anger to nonexistent challenges.
So all those people who are fighting to preserve coal jobs and the fossil fuel economy are….
actually…
tilting at windmills.
I feel like this is one of the very few times where explaining the joke leads to another one that everyone can now understand and laugh at
for those who dont know, logan paul recently made a vlog in the suicide forest of Japan and found a person who had hung themselves earlier that day. he continued with his vlog and although he acted shocked and disturbed he did still upload the vlog including footage of the corpse. among other thing, he was wearing a silly hat and he joked about his friend’s nausea saying “what youve never been around a dead body before?”
heres how he could have handled it even slightly better:
“yo logang we were gonna do a fun vlog in aokigahara but unfortunately we found someone hanging and we could not continue. the police have been notified and out of respect for the recently deceased we will not be posting a video today”
logan paul hire me you dumb fuck im so much better at PR than you
i think the worst part of this is that the vlog is monetized, which means hes making money off showing off someone’s suicide.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT
Also the dead body is straight up in the thumbnail. The other Japan tour videos depict him acting like an ABSOLUTE jackass.
FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT LOGAN PAUL IS ABSOLUTE FUCKING SCUM!!
About 6 people re-blogged this in the five minutes it took to check that yes it really did happened and so I would just like to make you all aware that that wasn’t the only piece he re-tweeted;
