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

That’s it. I’m sick of your nonsense. (Magically transmogrifies you into Agnes Digital until you learn how to behave)

be meaner to butchfemme tbh.

if you take one step outside the hyperbaeddel tower you will find that the most celebrated form of lesbian is "butches on T". they won't shut up about it ever. and if you point this out you will get eight million people telling you about how radical and cool and trans inclusive it is. can you imagine why these same posts never ever mention the concept of "butches on e"? do you think perhaps this framework was created without some particular group of lesbians in mind? have you noticed that this framework is mostly pushed by tme usamericans? do you find any of these things to be disturbing

Isn’t it kind of fun how when your life sucks you just can’t talk about it with anyone

I’m serious though. When your life reaches a degree of suckage, you find yourself having to look elsewhere for anything at all to talk about. The things going on in your life are trauma dumping. Your past is probably also trauma dumping. So you have to get really weird about specific things or hope that others want to talk to you, because very quickly people are going to develop an aversion to you and the way your life sucks. Unless you just don’t talk about it

good news everyone, I've talked it over with myself and decided that disability is capitalism. thanks for listening!

my only thoughts on the puppy girl essay that i will share is i think through the author holding these harmful beliefs, it highlights all of the issues with viewing relationships as being transactional and believing in the black & white framing of abuser/victim. treating a relationship as transactional will distance yourself from emotion which can cause you to harm the other person, and if all the while you view it as she is the "abuser" and you are the "victim" since you have also been hurting as a result of her, then you will excuse any harm you do to her since you already labeled her as type of person one is allowed to be cruel towards.

trans girl little call that putting the 'minor' in 'gender minority'

and she's having a tea party to put the tea in minority

respectfully, we cannot actually have a coherent politic as a class if we are unable to criticize the works of our own. obviously it's important to keep reminding the bloodthirsty masses on tumblr to not immediately pick up the pitchforks, but like. if you're going to go to the trouble of presenting yourself as a thought leader, you are going to be beholden to the opinions of your peers, i'm sorry . write a better article next time

has the term "oppression olympics" (and others similar) ever actually been used in a meaningful way or has it always been used to silence marginalized women who point out that the men in their demographic maybe just MAYBE have it slightly better than them

yeah deeply unwell disabled women who like to pretend to be dogs have had it too good for too long. they need taking down a peg.

i do think the gall of framing it as an uplifting piece about leaving your shitty girlfriend -- as opposed to a sad short story about a kind of miserable situation that can and does happen -- is especially bad. deeply unwell disabled trans women can be hard to care for! people get burnt out! but to frame "escape" from being someones primary caretaker as a reclamation of your true self is cruel.

it's important for every communist to at some point realize that you can be pissed at someone in your life without getting karl marx involved

Man, remember when Free The Nipple was a thing and there was an actual substantial amount of feminists who believed even public nudity wasn't inherently sexual and now if you date a short person hundreds of anonymous idiots online will call you a pedophile.

tells a harpygirl I cracked someone’s egg and she looks at me fearfully
