masc in a peacock way

I have seen so many self-described "transfeminists" on this website come up with this "genderpunk" strawman about anyone gender-nonconforming and it is functionally indistinguishable from calling nonbinary people blue-haired snowflakes. This is growing into being the broader opinion of any nonbinary or gnc people in every online space, which is now where public opinion is formed. I have reconnected with old friends who have led with "I don't fuck with gender-anarchists" and just stumbled into people parroting this rhetoric that condescends people outside the binary as fundamentally ridiculous. So I do feel like a lot of people who claim to know better have just developed very reactionary position on gender that just happens to include binary trans people.

i cannot survive in these conditions (its hot outside )☹️☹️

whenever people talk about regret irt medical transition and top surgery especially i always think of an older cis(ish) butch woman who was always quick to tell anyone she saw binding about how she did it for decades because of severe dysphoria and how she absolutely wrecked her back and now in her old age couldnt comfortably bind anymore but also had other like unrelated health and aging issues that meant she no longer felt safe with the risk of surgery besides what she already needed. and basically that she was put off from surgery because of stupid ftm butch border wars and narratives about regret and unnecessary cosmetic surgeries and what she always told those ppl binding was that they should get surgery as soon as possible and not risk another year of binding and developing back pain or risk the possibility being taken away from them. loved that diva down but every interaction with her was so thoroughly colored by the deep regret she felt at not pursuing transition. that's the kind of regret and longing i think about and worry about irt medical transition far far more than regrets about doing the transitioning in the first place ykwim

I find calligraphy and practicing your handwriting to be a really good hobby for anxiety. It is frustrating when you fuck up but it doesn’t matter because you’re just making shapes and words on a piece of paper until you get better. It’s fun to practice with different pens and markers and try different scripts. You can do this while watching TV or listening to music or just sitting in silence. Low pressure if you practice with affordable materials and work your way up.

Queerness isn't inherently political, actually, it's politicized. I think that distinction carries weight because we often paint ourselves as a sign of a progressive society. But we predate progression and regression. We have always existed. The presence of queerness is primeval, part of the natural state of a species, even removed from our current position standing on the shoulders of giants. We just *are.* Which makes any action against queerness, any cultural upheaval against our expression, that more clearly absurd.

i don't support all women's rights & wrongs some of you are terfs

unfriendly reminder: denying the very much proven and (unfortunately) prevalent existence of transmasc erasure is still, in fact, transmasc erasure.

it really is quite bad for your military to have an image of itself as a warrior class. what you really want is for your soldiers to think of themselves as boring professionals who will fill out a report form if someone gets a little too warrior ethos out there

upon reflection we as a society should perhaps not keep doing ballet bc it does seem that your average ballet studio is functionally a sort of factory for producing eating disorders

sometimes i talk about how awful it was to feel trapped by my daily makeup routine and how i couldn’t leave the house without putting on a full face and it played a major role in the misery of my high school experience because i had to spend so much extra time getting ready in the mornings and that followed me into my early 20s as well and it was hell and it was so incredibly liberating to go through the slow and uncomfortable but ultimately essential process of getting my bare face back and having makeup be an optional accessory instead of a mandatory uniform. and the response always tends to be ah yes of course, because of your trans and your masculine. and it’s like aha so close! actually! I think if I ended up being a feminine cis woman I also still would not deserve even a second of that shit! I think trans women and nonbinary people and every human alive should have the option to leave the house without a single cosmetic product ever touching their face! but thanks for playing!

there is nothing a corporation hates more than having employees, but a close second is having to provide a good or service in order to make money. these two reasons concisely explain is why the ai bubble formed in the first place.

before trump and the creation of ANTIFA as a boogeyman, the fbi listed animal liberation and 'eco-terrorism' as the number 1 domestic terror threat.
