Our conversations about #ReproductiveJustice & #AbortionAccess must include those whose reproductive care needs & right to bodily autonomy are disproportionately impacted by intersecting systems of oppression. Black, Indigenous, and racialized women & trans folk, people with disabilities, and those with low-income have multiple barriers to accessing safe reproductive care. #ProChoice #AbortionAccess #MyBodyMyChoice

“I truly believe that everyone can dismantle the oppression so many face across the world by doing large scale demonstrations such as protests, but also by talking to your friends, calling out problematic relatives, or even correcting a professor on their problematic point of view.” Happy birthday @ayaanaye ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏼 #TuesdayThoughts 📷 from #TheSistersProject by @aliayphotography

#ProChoiceBecause everybody has the right to bodily autonomy & choosing the reproductive path that best suits them. But as we continue to fight for #ReproductiveJustice, let’s remember that Black, Indigenous, and racialized women & trans folks’ bodies & reproductive choices continue to be heavily policed through institutional violence. #ProChoice #MybodyMyChoice
#WednesdayWisom from #SaraAhmed #Feminism #QueerFeminism #FeministQuotes #Intersectionality
“The pressure to be “good” is not exclusive to one gender, nor is it applied equally to all genders. To be clear, the stress on girls to be “good” far surpasses any stress men might feel to be “good.” This disparity is perhaps best exemplified by the fact that when a girl does something “wrong,” few mourn her goodness. We rarely hear, “I thought she was one of the good girls.” Women who behave “badly” are ultimately not given the same benefit of the doubt as men and are immediately cast off as bitches or sluts. Men might be written off as “dogs,” but their reckless behaviour is more often unnoticed, forgiven, or even celebrated—hence our cultural fixation with bad boys.” #TuesdayThoughts from @vivekshraya 🙌🏿🙌🏼🙌🏾
