Chaos control

i understand that you're a 4tran resident and you don't think anything can ever get better for you because that's how everyone on 4tran is. i cannot stress enough that the vast cavern of insecurity you're choosing to live in is exactly what this post is for.

you are obviously not going to smash the patriarchy by doing something small for one single trans woman. that would be absurd. but that doesn't mean that anything you do has no effect at all. if you let a trans woman who doesn't pass at all dress really fem and call her pretty and genuinely mean it you have done something really good. if you go to the gym with a trans guy and support him in the locker room, you've made a meaningful difference in his life specifically. if you create a space for your nonbinary friend where you make it clear you don't see them as one or the other, exorsexism will still obviously exist in other places but they're comfortable with you and that's what matters

it's better to do something small that doesn't change the grand scheme of things than to get so jaded about your inability to change the grand scheme of things that you do nothing at all

you don't need the grand scheme of things to change. you need someone to take your hand and tell you that you are a girl and things will get better for you, over and over until you believe it. and if you choose to do that for yourself then you still will have made a change and made the world better, even if no one else knows you did it.

The Adventures of Bouba & Kiki

Based on Gloran Gligovic's characters vv

There was one episode with a trans woman getting different gender-affirming operations, including breast implants. It showed the procedure, and (what I found so fascinating that it's stuck with me for decades), as soon as the doctor put the implant in, a censor blur popped up on the nipple.

And you just know there was a meeting between the TLC lawyers and the editors and producers of the show to discuss what the difference was between a "man nipple" (can be shown) and a "woman nipple" (no no must obscure, 'tis naughty). And they decided that as soon as the implant goes in and the nipple has more mass behind it, that's the moment when it becomes a woman's nipple and must be hidden to comply with TV rules.

But it's the same nipple. On the same person. I know what it looks like; I just saw it. But TV and obscenity rules are rules, and the rules say woman nipple = sexual and therefore explicit, but man nipple = neutral, just fine.
