some call her blue garfield

it's like, definitely still mansplaining if the man is dominating the conversation unintentionally and he would totally stop if you asked him to, actually. like, the term exists to describe a phenomenon that arises from the implicit bias that women are expected to simply be less knowledgeable about things. it doesn't matter if he's doing it on purpose or not. he does it cause he expects women to not know things or to not have any input. maybe don't fucking expect women to stand up for themselves every single time they have to have a conversation with a man because that shit happens like daily for a lot of women

genuinely, sincerely, if you are a man you need to learn to shut up when you're talking to women

i like how apples are like. the default object

Does anyone have they boiled the uncles it was a meaningless ritual PLEAZE

no matter how hard i try, nothing i write will ever be as fucked up as the stuff somebody who thinks they're creating a Wholesome AU with unexamined beliefs will make.

Funny how you never see the people who claim that "tme/tma is reinventing the gender binary" say the same thing about afab/amab. In fact, they seem to really like those terms as identity labels.

I'm back

looking back at my teenage years i was so very obviously drowning in gender dysphoria but at the time i had no idea what that was. i had such an intense background radiation of self loathing, i was depressed, i didnt care for how i dressed, i hated looking in the mirror. i didnt have a sense of self, i couldnt conceive of a future, i was a husk. and for all those years my only examples of trans women were "man in a dress" and "knew it the whole time" and neither of those were me so it never occured to me i could be trans. i dont know where id be now if i didnt have a friend bully me onto tumblr when i was 17 or 18, thats where i learned i could be a girl. about 8 months into hrt i spent a whole evening sobbing because i realized how much weight had been lifted from me, how much less i hated myself and how bad it was when i was young. my high school years were stolen from me and ill never get them back. fuck everyone refusing to represent transfemininity. fuck everyone who thinks its taboo to be transfem. fuck the egg prime directive. nobody should have to suffer like that
