Being told what to do is great because then you know what to do

Alan Turing and Ada of Lovelace did not invent computer science for the girls and the gays to claim they can't do math

I love it when people tell me about me because I have no idea who I am

Being a trans man is a very lonely thing and I feel like not a lot of people talk about that Trans men are in this weird limbo where you're either 'too feminine' for cis people and they treat you in a mix of transphobia and misogyny because they only see you as your asab or you're 'too masculine' for trans people and are expected to just sit down and shut up and never try to talk about the specific issues you face as a trans person because there's this weird idea that as soon as a trans man comes out or is on hormones, suddenly he's the same as a cis man and can't possibly experience discrimination

The social forces that prevent you from being able to admit to your own desires in the safety of your own mind are far more evil than any desire you could have.

Unacted desires are fundamentally neutral, and you can't decide what to do about the things you want unless you can admit to yourself what they are in the first place. Everyone has desires that would hurt other people if they acted on them, but most people would not actually go out and do anything they know would cause harm. Far more harm is done in this world by people who are trying to pretend they can't possibly want anything they think is bad than people running around going "ehehehe I love hurting people!"

Providing people with a way of exploring the dark parts of ourselves in a way that cannot hurt anyone is one of the purposes of both fiction and kink.

All of us have a hungry, horny, angry, scared animal inside ourselves. You do not need to excuse or justify what that animal wants, it simply is. You cannot escape it. Lying to yourself about the animal that you are will only give you less control over it, not more.

it’s crazy how much you can read if you read
