i would say hello but we've met before

The expectation that you will refer to a trans person by their preferred pronouns and name is not them ‘forcing you to accept them’ it is basic respect. You don’t have to like trans people, you don’t have to ‘believe’ our identities or whatever. You do have an obligation to treat us like people, though. If you had a 40 something cis male coworker named Bill and you repeatedly, pointedly and aggressively called him ‘Shirley’ and exclusively used she/her pronouns to refer to him, that would be a major HR problem. It is not persecution to have to show basic human decency.

Love the message but these posts are always about how trans women are treated and not trans men or non-binary people, we are also deeply affected by this! Treating people with respect is common human decency!

I am quite literally a trans man and this post was inspired by a trans man speaking about his experience being forcefully and purposefully misgendered by a transphobic coworker in an office environment. I’m not sure how you could read this post and think “What about trans men? This post excludes trans men and nonbinary people.”

there is a particular kind of lesbian t4c pornographic art that is common among, like, "sapphic" "spicy" patreon artists on twitter/bluesky that i don't think is deliberately or malevolently chasery per se but kind of stumbles assbackwards into it. what happens in my assessment is that the artist (not a trans woman) projects onto the submissive cis bottom characters, which is fine, but then the artist tries to project all of her other kinks onto the other character all at the same time -- which is also not necessarily bad, except, well, when those kinks are "size difference" and "muscles" and "breeding" and "PIV" and "lots of cum" and "getting cummed inside of for real," and the lesbian artist wants to put them all together simultaneously, and especially if the artist may genuinely but naively want to be inclusive of trans women in lesbian art, you end up with very sleek but offputting trans woman top fetish pornography that i can really only describe as "pronouns futanari"

everybody saying they know what artist i'm vagueing here is almost definitely all thinking of different people, anybody wondering how to avoid falling into this pitfall ought to consider trans women who don't use their dick and trans women who don't even have dicks at all (but my theory is that in addition to tasteless and kneejerk aversion to neopussy, a lot of artists would very genuinely have no idea how to signpost that a character is trans otherwise because their imagination just straight up does not extend that far - but IMO, that's exactly what this is about! you're telling me that for one reason or another, this artist seems to have a lot less interest in "trans women" and everything that could possibly entail, and a lot more interest in an almost fantastically rendered category of "women who just so happen to have [working!] penises" that you can't help but feel is treated as something distinct from the former? nihil novi sub sole, even if there's maybe a little more lip service)

now i have not seen K-Pop Demon Hunters but what I have seen, as the perfect example of this, is score upon score of artists drawing the half-demon one fucking the other ones (but usually the smallest one) with the penis that the artist implies that she would simply and obviously and naturally have on account of being half-demon. i have tried and failed to look it up but there is another post floating around somewhere about how common it is for sapphic teratophiles to treat every even slightly monstrous woman as ultimately just a phallus and it's a very similar, overlapping concept

The mythical disabled person who is so disabled that everyone consistently supports and accommodates them without question is a straw man which only exists as a hypothetical for the political purpose of denying real disabled people care while still being able to argue that said care would be accessible to disabled people who "actually deserves it"

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

microdosing on catharsis by watching a fictional character or persona i relate to have an emotional breakdown until my chest starts to ache from the amount i've repressed

"He wouldn't say that" has a beautiful cousin, and her name is "That's Not What This Story is About".

running into a trans girl while you're out and about makes the entire miserable errand worth it, whatever it was. like glancing upward at just the right time to see a shooting star. I spot a trans flag and it sincerely ceases to matter that the bus is crowded and it rained unexpectedly and my shoes are soaked through and my headphones are dead. I am happy to be on that specific bus on that specific day, because you're there too.
