y'all I think tumblr just took my messages like the tab is just gone with no warning? what do I even do about this??

seems I've been shadowbanned???

a single, solitary, earth-shattering note thunders across the battlefield like a tsunami.

I also think that the strength gap is at least partially manufactured women would in fact be stronger overall if little girls were encouraged to do physically taxing games and activities and eat their fill while they’re growing vs having to constantly diet and be sedentary indoors (or god forbid do intense cardio while under-eating). The amount of adult women honestly afraid to lift weights bc they think they’ll get bulky as though bulking isn’t a full time job that athletes have to spend all their time on and anyone on earth gets shredded from just using their adult muscles for their intended purpose, girl your bone density 🥀

if you say women are intentionally nerfed from birth in 2026 people look at you like you’re insane and start condescendingly telling you about how women are just better at different things (but not during their periods haha) but this was a completely basic feminist talking point I grew up with like “girls can do it too! [shot of little girls climbing and running with boys]” nickelodeon commercial tier base level I hate it how is everyone suddenly dumber than the average 7 year old

we could probably condense the 7 deadly sins down to like 4 because greed and gluttony are basically the same thing, envy is just greed with nuance, and lust isn't a problem

i like how transhumanist amazing digital circus is. like you're a program that has been abstracted and deformed from a brain scan of a real person, you inherit their memories but you're ultimately a piece of code. and the show firmly says "i am still a human with a human life, i'm different from the person i was made from but i still live a life worth living" and i think that's neat. everything about it feels kind of like an inverse matrix

matrix "what if everything mundane around you was fake and reality requires you to be an action hero to save everyone" and digital circus goes "all the crazy stuff is real but the true human desire is to do pretty mundane stuff with friends in spite of crazy circumstances"

i'm gonna go to leather bars and start calling myself a biker instead of a cyclist.

#1 advice for medical transition is talk to other transfemmes as often as possible about your care. Doctors suck and often casually hate us, systems discriminate against us even without any identifiable direct human malice. We keep us safe, we keep us healthy! Talk to your sisters about medical self-advocacy, write things down, and for real - for fucking real - please, please, please learn enough that you can manage your care or access gray-market stuff when shit gets worse.

You're speaking to a community health approach. It is a huge upgrade from traditional models of American public health, which are heavily informed by the early-20th century public hygeine movement and by the eugenics movement! Community health is very good, and we still have so much work to achieve meaningful liberation - I am a huge fan of the "social medicine" model, like what if public health was communist and critical. "Critical public health" is a great area to read up on, too, if you're interested in the ways that public health in the US context has fed into/supported/perpetuated domination and oppression and the contradictions presented.
