I'm just here for the show.

"Why are my parents suddenly trying to be my friend now that I'm an adult??" Is crazymaking but putting together "oh, because children aren't seen as fully human so they're acceptable to abuse in a way that I'm not anymore. It was never actually about me as a person it was about children being property" may or may not feel Better. Makes sense though lol. Lmao. Everyone get more youthlib now

ajhh you're spoiling me today ilyyyy bb

When did we all stop agreeing men talking over women about feminism was a bad thing

I have been on multiple dates where they assumed I was transmasc, and was ghosted when they realized I was transfem. I know it happens when I am inexplicably treated with dignity and respect on accident

I've talked to a lot of lesbians, and most assume (because I am butch) that I'm transmasc. Also because I have a deeper voice, a lot of people assume that I'm on testosterone. When they find out I am not, that's where pleasant conversation ends. Queer people are fine with a masculine woman, except when she's transfem.

Happened to me a few times earlier in my transition when I presented more non-binary. Stubble also grew out disgustingly swiftly and contributed to these kinds of misunderstandings. And yeah the amount of people who ghosted me after finding out I was a transfem was all but one of the people with the misconception (and that one still stopped seeing me as a viable romantic partner after realizing)

at some point after I started E, I started getting he/himmed in the same conspicuously-supportive way that I had been getting she/hered. took me a while to figure out that that people were thinking I was transmasc. I didn't understand why they were conspicuously supportive but, when I corrected them to she/her, they'd give me this politely strained smile.

happened to me at a bike mechanic when I was getting my wife's bike fixed. They seemed to intuit me as transmasc until when I had to give my name for their billing system - since we got a free repair and tuneup if something happened in the next few months, they needed to record a name. <Fem name> I offered. "Nah, you can use your real one." "Yes, <fem name.>" (bike mechanic gets moment of realization and starts treating me like I don't know what fucking pedals are, after I've spent the past hour talking shop about bike and electronics repair)

Was closeted in a queer dorm about three/four years on E. 5'10, Tits, Short hair, Dahmer glasses, the works. Everyone assumed I was a particularly lucky pre-T transmasc. I was moderately popular. When I finally came out everyone gave me the cold shoulder and started spreading rumors about me being a massive creep.

a lot of people are focusing on tmvp as an individual which like, yes she absolutely should be talked about in the way that she has, but in the process it feels like some people are forgetting that tmvp has genuine support from the tmra types on here. it's tempting to write them off as alts and bots but that feels like it's underselling just how severe the trans "community"'s transmisogyny problem is. it feels like a lot of tme people are eager to try and wipe our hands of this rather than acknowledge that we left trans women behind and (whether through action or inaction) fostered an environment that allowed this to happen. i am not okay with that.

the situation with harry potter is kind of unprecedented in some ways imo because it is maybe the largest media franchise in history to be created & owned by a single person who still has direct creative control over it. who is also a billionaire with significant cultural/political influence. like the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" type excuses shatter on impact when the bigoted author in question is logging onto twitter every day saying explicitly that when you buy the tim hortons ravenclaw donut she is using your donut money to fund the genocide of trans people. like with big franchises usually there's at least a little more diffusion of responsibility than this

I’m beginning to wonder if people laughed but I just couldn’t hear them

ah doing ma thing just like god int- (remembers im atheist) just like the universe intend- (remembers i don't believe in determinism) just like noone and nothing intended ever. doin ma thang fucking unpredictable style

whether or not GTA 6 succeeds really does feel like it may have a considerable chance of deciding if the video game industry as we know it dies right then and there. it feels less like a game and more like a demonic media entity that companies are sacrificing billions of dollars in hope of summoning

GTA 6 being a flop would make me so happy. The AAA business model has been a rotten tree for a long time, and it's only becoming more unstable year over year. It should be chopped down to allow midrange and indie developers to flourish in the sun light.

i hope it does fail. Rockstar had an 18yo indefinitely institutionalized for leaking footage of the game. nobody should be giving this company money.

i’m so tired of kink positivity that is exclusive to subs. why is it okay to fantasize about being raped but fantasizing about being the rapist is evil? and of course any positivity about sexual dominance needs a million caveats about “as long as there’s consent” like yeah no shit girl. that is assault otherwise. we’re talking about something else. do you hear yourselves

this also goes for ageplay btw

THIS ALSO GOES FOR AGEPLAY

there isn't a dom or top shortage btw. many of us are treated like sexual predators and (reasonably) require more explicit confirmation than is often offered. blanket statements or descriptions of things you like do not constitute interest or consent

guy on a work call just accidentally said “have a nice freak-end” instead of weekend and now i desperately want that to be the new meme. have a nice freakend everybody
