idek wtf this last part of what you said is supposed to mean but bitch just because YOU learned something online doesn't mean other people can't naturally come to this conclusion on their own. i'm a black woman, i know well enough how quickly people have been to call specifically darkskin and/or overweight black women manly or less feminine than other women and make them the butt of the joke. the reality is in a world that's dead set on villainizing trans people and in this case specifically trans women and automatically assume they can "tell" by looking at someone, you'd actually have to be a fucking idiot to not think all black women would end up bearing the brunt of that and see the effects of it the quickest. serena williams is made fun of by black and non-black people alike for looking too masculine, theres people TO THIS DAY who try to call megan the stallion "manly". like the concept of darker skin = manlier, lighter skin = feminine is elementary shit, it's basic colorism and racism rlly. pls get tf out of my rs mad over nothing, it's a take you see online a lot because it's an obvious one. it wasn't even an argument it's a basic observation that could lead to a very probable outcome if you have any kind of discernment of your own and seen the way various types of black women are treated in life, online, or media. ntm theres white people who will be the main enforces of this... transphobia and racism tend to intersect quite often and if you don't think racist white people will use any shortcut they can come up with to have black people harassed, jailed, or killed then we just aren't living in the same world clearly. however you feel aside it's fucked up and shouldn't happened to anyone because it's evil and helps nothing.

umm honestly im not sure, i think they all kinda exaggerate their claims so none of them are gonna give you like ultra filtering or anything like a filter you'd get installed into your kitchen but i have the steel brita water bottle and i love it. i believe the pitchers mold easily and obviously they aren't portable so i prefer the bottle, you do have to buy the filters for it but i just get a box of 6 that will last a year bc you're supposed to replace them every 2 months. as long as you clean it often and let it fully dry it's great and i think it helps me drink tap water without worrying too much and without having a ton of plastic waste although it's not strong enough to get out like BPAs (which is in everything now) but it's better than drinking water from a plastic bottle that bound to be worse
