cis people should not be allowed to have opinions on onimai. like, if your perception of it doesn’t involve mahiro as the world’s most transgender girl your opinion is invalid.

ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to deny location sharing and turn off personalized ads and reject all non-essential cookies and not set up siri and face ID

What is "usual DNI criteria?"

Oh, I see now. It's shorthand for "I assume the puritanical ideals and taboos I have been raised with are common sense and do not feel the need to examine nor be cognizant of the presumptions upon which my beliefs are based to the point where I do not feel the need to be specific about them—I shall simply align myself with the status quo without thinking for myself, unable to discern between that which is harmful and that which is radical." Which is, to be frank, intellectually irresponsible.

Sometimes being like, even mildly aware of transfem issues will have you feeling like you're losing your mind. The news mentions that trans women specifically have been banned from something in a matter of fact way with no mention of the repercussions. On the internet people are loudly complaining about how this is terrible because it will harm cis women. Someone you know uses a term for themselves that is frequently used to aggressively argue against trans womens womanhood, and when a transfem friend rightfully raises her hackles, she is accused of denying people their identity, talking over and suppressing them, her own identity not even figuring into the matter. The medical guidelines are vague to nonexistent, left largely to the whims of any individual doctor, and besides within transfem circles this is barely discussed at all. Like it really feels like a great chunk of society, including some people who regularly interact with trans women, does not really comprehend that trans women have their own internal lives and are a real demographic actually affected by the world all on their own.

If you mention that being told you might be a girl would have saved you years of anguish and self repression, someone else will state that if they'd been told that it would have made them really uncomfortable. And everyone will agree that it's just not worth that risk. And you sit there going, what? How does that math check out, are you insane? But the answer is that even when you're sitting right in front of them, a lot of people just won't properly comprehend that you have your own internal life.

They're doing nothing to me #controlgroup

erectile dysfunction girlies rise up!

Tumblr got caught and is trying to save face. Every blog that was removed except one is a trans woman. Don't let them lie to you.

If your automated moderation keeps making the same error over and over again and bans a bunch of trans women every six months or so then it's not an error it's a feature of the software. Even if we do believe it's unintentional (not a guarantee given the history of transphobia from flesh and blood moderators and the site owner) then it would still only be an error the first time. It KEEPS HAPPENING to the exact same minority group. If my car brakes don't work, the sixth kid I run over is not an 'error', it's unbelievable negligence.

the purpose of a system is what it does
