Why do they even make apps for ADHD. You want me to use my 24/7 handheld immediate distraction device? To manage my 'gets distracted too easily' disorder? Ooooh we developed the perfect tool for managing your anemia. Its hosted in Dracula's castle. 👍

Picked up my phone to consult my task list for today and now I'm reblogging this instead, case in point

somewhere there is a college dropout transsexual woman who is living paycheck to paycheck, constantly on the edge of homelessness. she’s a line cook. she’s up till at least 2 every night and sometimes she’s reading obscure theory and sometimes she’s watching weird fetishy futa porn. and she’s the human being on this earth most fit to lead global governments.

I'm being serious btw like. There's a really particular transfem horror to this.

every so often this will get circulated around again and I resist the urge to start telling off the many, many transmascs who comment on it about how scary it was for them going on T because of this so "transmasc here, I totally get it" and its like. you don't. you really dont. the parallel of the lack of agency PAIRED with the ability to call for help is the entire thing. the consistent lack of understanding that estrogen doesn't change our voices. that it's something we just Lose and never get back. it fucks with me & every time I get a wave of Men Insisting They Understand Something That They Clearly Don't it's like. the poems keep writing themselves huh

If you ever meet someone on the internet claiming they're from the USA, watch out because they're most likely an AI bot. nobody in the US can afford an internet connection (because they're so poor) and even if they could their schools are so underfunded they couldn't even know how to use the internet

To the closeted transfem audience member, the Tranny stock character exists primarily to remind you of how you will be treated if you are ever to act on your desires, to teach you that you are right to be ashamed and to hide these feelings, and that if you ever were to act on them you would become an object of justified ridicule and the acceptable target of unlimited patriarchal violence. The idea that such characters constitute "representation" or that the widespread presence of the tranny caricature as a target of mockery and bile fascination in media constitutes evidence of some sort of privilege is a bizarrely cruel position that a lot of people who claim to care about trans women nevertheless seem to take.

the fact that the comments are full of tme people rushing to the defense of drag makes me want to do bad things. like frankly i dont even think this is a case where tme people value their shows and their cis men over trans women i just think this is a case where tme people close rank around transmisogyny

Especially egregious seeing folks hold up the history of drag, naming Marsha and Sylvia as if they weren't treated like dirt for being "street queens" as in queens who live as women full time. That distinction existed before RuPaul, but that pos sure got rich off it.

ⓘ FACT: The Scary Pervert is a beautiful woman.
