Mr Piss

Hi everyone! I've never really had one of these accounts before, so I suppose I should write an introduction post!

My name is Paula Cracker (she/her please!), I'm 46 years old and I like to play guitar, bake and program! I was in a pretty unsuccessful band about 30 years ago, but no ones really interested in that. Currently I spend my time looking after my cats Biscuit and Gravy, and perfecting many of my own cake and trifle recipes.

Boring stuff below the cut! Well, some of it might be important, so its worth a read, but I think its boring (:p). Enjoy! - Paula C.

“We already DO that” he said. “We already have reusable bags. We’re already careful about water. We already give away clothes I outgrow and use other kids clothing they outgrew. We already recycle. Why are they telling us?”

“Well, we didn’t already do that when they wrote the book. Kids like me and your dad and adults who cared worked together to make that normal. And some of the other ones — turning off lights, see this page? Unplugging appliances? — scientists and engineers worked to make it not such a big issue. Now it’s your turn to find things that need doing and our turn to be the scientists and engineers who can make solutions that are easier for people to do.”

me: well, I don't know how many times a day the average person pees. the relevant data I have is that I am currently on a medication that helps me have to pee less often, and also that before I was on this medication, I had to pee a number of times per day that I personally found frustrating and inconvenient, although I often think that some degree of that is due to our society not being built to accommodate people who need to pee really often.

healthcare provider: most people pee between four and seven times a day.

me: oh yeah then I'm totally normal.

Marker sketch Murdoc is so cute to me Idk why. Hes always so frowny🙁🙁 swawew awww.

Something else I have noticed on top of what you describe is that very often transmascs (of any ‘type’, gender identity, sexuality, and so on) that are not medicalized or not medicalized enough to pass are ALSO sidelined and dismissed, if not outright treated with hostility, in LGBT+ spaces, including ones that explicitly say they are 'trans inclusive'. So we are also sidelined if a person in these spaces deems us to be 'too cishet', but in the opposite sense - too much like a cis woman whose masculinity is not 100% irrefutable and unclockable.

And this applies not just to transmascs that choose to have a more 'feminine' gender presentation, but also just as much to transmascs that DO style themselves as masculine as possible but get still read as ‘tryhard girls wanting to feel special’ by onlookers entirely because of physical characteristics they cannot (yet) change such as facial features, voice, height, visible breasts even through binders &/or tape, body fat distribution, etc.

So we’re essentially damned if we do and damned if we don’t: we either aren’t trying hard enough and are silly little girl interlopers bothering the Real Queers or, the second we start to pass a bit too well, we’re evil rapey threats scaring the Real Queers.
