One of the apologetic claims I keep hearing from those trying to make Islam sound feminist is "A rape victim can kill their rapists Islamically, and they're encouraged to do it! AND they won't be punished!"

Like, no, it isn't true. ISLAM NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. It's a false claim. There's not a single Quranic verse or Hadith that said that.

Not only that, but that claim is flawed af:

1- If a victim actually went to do this, they could risk getting raped again or even killed. Maybe instead of sending someone to risk getting raped of killed, maybe you should punish them legally, just like how you do with people who had consensual sex.

2- This means that Islam tolerates murder. In a just sense, no matter what someone did to you, you have no right to kill them. Islam allowing THAT means that it fails to punish murderers and allows people to kill each other instead of professionally handling it.

3- It lacks gender inclusive language. Some of these claims are actually "a woman can kill her rapist", but about men and non-binary victims? Rape affects everyone equally, and it's a human rights crime, not a gendered privilege. No male or non-binary victim of rape should be laughed at or have their pain invalidated, and by lacking that kind of gender inclusive language, you're failing to acknowledge the minorities of non-female victims, which is ironically not very feminist.

Words cannot describe how much I hate hair (except for head hair, ofc). I fucking hate it all, and I just wish I could just be permanently hairless. My body hair started to grow because I hit puberty and it's visible, arms, legs, belly, etc. I hate it, but I can't remove it because I tried, and my family wasn't happy about it because they noticed my hairless arms.

Even before finding out that I'm trans, I still hated it all while thinking that I'm a boy.

The worst is my facial hair. I hate it the most; it grows back faster than any other hair.

I'm not looking for advice on how to hide it because the weather is turning hot, which will make me wear T-shirts and short pants, which will expose me. I just wanna vent.
