Yeah

I was watching Shrek 2 and my wife and I were reflecting on how much transmisogyny was in it as jokes (e.g. “gender confused wolf” “ugly step sister” “women’s underwear” etc.) and it’s so extremely ridiculous to me the transphobes’ line that having positive representations of trans people (esp trans women) in children’s media would be “too confusing” for kids—because they are literally already making references to trans women in children’s media, they’re just doing it in the most offensive ways possible. Taking away all the empty cis rationalization of it, really they’re not arguing for kids to not see trans characters, they’re arguing that kids should see trans characters as demonized, fetishized, objects of ridicule and disgust. Like that’s literally the subtext in these “how do I explain this to my kids” conversations. They really mean “let me continue to explain this in ways that groom kids into hating trans people and themselves if they are trans”

kind of amazing/depressing that you can go on almost any blog stating themselves as tme or tma, search for the term "transmasc" and immediately get blasted with the most awful transphobic garbage you've ever seen spouted by another trans person

I HATE how pervasive the thought that betta sororities are ethical is. I was talking with a coworker and they were saying they were considering a sorority. fortunately, we are good friends and they were willing to hear me out when I said “can I please change your mind on that”, so at least there’s that.

Taking a massive gamble this week and will be discovering if getting long box braids again makes me feel cunty or horribly dysphoric.

Bad ending 😔✌️
