you have to do better than 13 year old eminem lyrics. stop treating people as a social obligation.

white transfems are not especially racist, but we are afforded an uncommon opportunity to confront the reality of white supremacy. it is not a coincidence that talking about race as a transfem feels like inviting people to call you racist. white power structures leverage accusations of racism against us not in defense of racialized people, but as a way to suborn us to service of white supremacy. it is not a coincidence that it feels like the only winning move is to stop talking.

But to prove that it wasn't a fluke, they continued to have the best ideas for every aspect of it. How does he transform? A cool watch you can also sell as a toy. That watch's name? Omnitrix. Say it. It's so satisfying. How many aliens? Ten. Nice round number. The kid's name? Ben. The show's name? Ben Ten. His full name is Benjamin Tennyson, a normal, plausible name, but he also turns into 10 aliens.

Bigger brands dream about this synergy. Better writers would kill for this coherence. So holistic. So intuitive. The identity alone!!! The retro alien sound motif? Chilling. The green? Any other color would be wrong. The kirby krackle pattern? It seems so obvious in retrospect. The roadtrip format? Genius. Lesser writers would've done the spider-man high school thing. His arch nemesis being Cthulhu darth vader? Inspired, iconic, intimidating!

OP starts off by declaring her hatred for people who use tma and tme, confidently lecturing and reminding 'you' [trans women/fems] about the fact that while 'you' [trans women/fems] experience transmisogyny, 'we' [trans men/mascs, not trans women] experience "regular misogyny"

Set aside for now the way op implicitly positions trans women as not being subject to "regular misogyny" same as her, and watch what she does next.

She recounts a recent shopping experience with her father and then starts going off about how if 'you' [OP's father] would just do a little bit of actual research then 'you' [OP's father] would not be so ignorant about period product. Why are 'you' [OP's father] stigmatizing 'your' [OP's father] child's body!

At the beginning of the post, OP is venting at and lecturing 'you' [trans women], but by the end OP is all caps yelling at 'you' [OP's father].

We can see that her father is the actual source of her current anger and frustration, but OP takes that anger and vents it at trans women and fems instead of her father who it should be rightfully directed at.

It's almost certainly benign and it is operable, we have a surgery booked in for a couple of weeks from now, but it's a miserable time and they've lost a lot of their mobility and can't do much for themselves any more

We also have reasonable health care so it's not like we're now hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, but the three adults took a week off work each, we spent a few hundred on a wheel chair, a couple hundred on a walker, a couple hundred on other mobility aids, a couple hundred on takeout because the hospital is a few hours from home, a couple hundred on fucking parking, and so on. And we have to do it all again in a couple of weeks.

Which adds up to a huge hole in our normally fairly stable budget

I want to be clear that we probably don't need help, we can probably call in enough favours, eat two minute noodles for a few days, maybe borrow money to make rent, we could survive. But it's just another wildly stressful thing that we don't need whilst trying to support our newly disabled child and help them through the worst few weeks of their life

So if you can help, if you want to help, we would really appreciate it
