my body is a million mg edible

Imagine if nonbinary, androgynous, genderfucky, etc people started saying this exact type of thing, but about constantly being assumed to be a binary gender based on appearance.

Oh but of course that would be totally completely different and somehow unacceptable compared to this, because exorsexism isn’t actually as bad as other types of transphobia (or even real at all!), and plus we all know nonbinary dysphoria just isn’t real and only Real Binary Transsexuals can experience the suffering that is gender dysphoria (/sarcasm)

and, just to be clear, trans women are not more or less likely to be predators than any other demographic of trans people. but the pseudotransfeminist groups tend to harbor a disproportionate amount of abusers and predators precisely because y'all create a community that they can thrive in. you give excuses to abusers. you give them plausible deniability. you don't believe victims, even when they're other trans women, so long as it's somebody you like or somebody who has good standing in the community. predators notice shit like that and come flocking in knowing they can find a big ole community of potential new victims, because they know you'll make up excuses for them to get away with it. they know you'll cover for them. there has been a noticeable regression to amber heard trial level depp supporter talking points within the pseudotransfeminist community, precisely because predators know it benefits them to keep those messages going. they have manipulated y'all into thinking that's good political praxis and not rape culture. and then you wonder why so many trans women get hurt within your community.

a lot of these predatory types also target trans women who are early on in their transitions, too, btw. because they know you have little frame of reference to know the warning signs, and you're probably desperate for community and somebody to give a damn about you being alive. and they take advantage of that in order to force you into situations that you don't want to be in, and to violate your consent all while convincing you that you wanted it and that it's your fault for not saying no... even though you knew that a "no" from you would likely be socially punished, re: sexual availability. the people who are willing to participate are given love and attention and resources. and if you're not willing? if you stand up for yourself and refuse? sometimes they don't care and will keep going anyways, and at other times they'll just cut you off from every resource that's keeping you alive, lie about you to all of your friends, and implode your reputation so that you have no one you can go to for help. all because you rejected them sexually. because these predators lurk in the community and tend to hold high social status in the community. they tend to be very active IRL in trans spaces. because it gives them access to victims.

You want to stop making DVDs? Cool put it on a streaming service. Want to take it off streaming services? Cool start making DVDs. You don’t want to do either? Cool you can’t take people to court for burning it onto CDs or sharing it. That’s just keeping the media alive.

Listening to a podcast about bodies and eating disorders and the body positivity movement of the last decade ish and hearing someone say (paraphrasing from memory here) "body positivity was all capitalism, there were no legislative changes, just new brands of jeans"

Legislative changes are super important but I cannot emphasize enough that jeans coming in bigger sizes and fat-friendly cuts is actually a really big deal! With meaningful impacts on people's lives (including mine)! Fat people do need clothes! And you may not realize this, but if you're over a certain size (that's not even that big a size) there's a very good chance you can go to a big box store and *not find anything that fits you*. There are towns in the US where if you're over a size 18 you need to drive an hour away or shop online to get things in your size. And they're expensive! "Just buy used" if they even have your size! Fat people want to look nice too. And we face enough judgement during job interviews (to give one example) without trying to do it in clothes that don't fit or are super uncomfortable.

Actually: If you're fat and you want to look cute/hot/masc/femme/etc I cannot recommend this website enough, you put in your measurements and it lists what brands have your size. You can filter for stuff like sensory friendly, nonbinary, masc, organic, etc. It's not AI just a database.
