The Squiggliest Lil Guy

also in the past two years ish prominent transphobia directed at trans people who go on testosterone has broadened to include rhetoric like “predatory women pumping themselves up with male hormones” and “groomers trying to convince little girls to mutilate their bodies.” it’s just that no one notices bc they ✨simply do not pay attention✨

Thinking about when I worked at a shitty restaurant + one night it was just me + 3 other women on closing shift, so some guy came in the back and waved a knife around, presumably for money but I’m not actually certain, bc he was met with the bartender holding a much bigger knife, a tiny teenager wielding a cast iron pan, an elderly woman holding up a crockpot of clearly boiling water, and me, turning on the meat slicer with eye contact for maximum effect. He left, but the moral of the story is not girl power or whatever, it’s just. Why the fuck would you threaten a room full of underpaid and sleep-deprived blue-collar workers surrounded by lethal weapons.

Gee, Tumblr would probably really hate it if you shared and spread this damning article … To the surprise of absolutely none of Tumblr’s LGBTQ users, it turns out the independent NYC human rights agency Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) found that Tumblr’s ham-fisted adult content ban in December 2018 disproportionately targeted LGBTQ users. The CCHR’s investigation revealed Tumbler’s moderation algorithms is demonstrably biased against queer content. As part of the settlement, Tumblr was obligated to review their prejudicial anti-gay moderation policies. Even more mortifyingly, they’ve also had to hire an expert on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) issues and provide unconscious bias training to their moderators. I frankly doubt Tumblr has learned a thing from this humbling experience. Just recently the Tumblr algorithm flagged three ancient posts of mine as violating their terms. All three “offenders” were vintage homoerotic beefcake images (softcore by modern standards) roughly 50 – 65-years-old by Bruce of Los Angeles, Bob Mizer and Tom of Finland. (These are of course pioneering queer artists who routinely faced censorship and imprisonment in the fifties and sixties. Plus ca change!). They've been visible on my page - corrupting viewers -  for years at this point. I appealed all three immediately. Only the Tom of Finland one was approved. The other two are now hidden. So, they haven't learned much. Apparently, Tumblr – who loves to declare how hip, youthful, inclusive and progressive their values are - wants to restore trust with their queer users. I’d recommend we remember their hypocrisy when Pride rolls around and Tumblr splashes rainbow flags everywhere and attempts to pink wash their image.

In honour of Pride Month, this is worth a reblog! Don’t buy into Tumblr’s hypocritical “pink washing.” 

me when i am too square to understand the nuances of queer identity and existence and prioritize twitter definitions over ppl’s actual lived experiences.

Anyway, your fantasies about lesbian and a gay man having heterosexual sex are extremely homophobic

anyways controversial onion here but no sorry i dont give a shit if i see homeless people using drugs right infront of me as i walk down the street, if you want to complain about it you can go sit in your house and be grateful that you have one to feel better

I will never validate any complaint about the unhoused tbh, "they go to the bathroom in the street" because they dont have anywhere else to go, "theyre an eyesore" where do you want them to go? look the other fucking way then, "they should just go to a shelter" clearly youre unaware of how unsafe shelters are and how much autonomy they take away from you theyre practically a slaughterhouse for people, "they should just get a job" ok I challenge you to see who wants to employ you when youre clothed in rags and have no home address, you also cant open a bank account when you have no home address, "theyll spend any money you give them on drugs" dont give a shit, im still gonna give them the change in my pocket because withdrawals are deadly. I will never side with someone when they complain about the homeless. Ever.

idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol

One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine

sometimes I wonder how we all survive and then I look at my best friends and I go “oh, I survive because I don’t want to leave you yet” and it makes sense. life is so hard a lot of the time, but I want one more bowl of pasta with you.

You are going to laugh until your stomach hurts again. You're going to be in awe of a sunset. Watch your favorite show while you eat your favorite food. Find money on the street. Discover a great band you haven't heard of before. You will find your way back.

this song is for the people who tell their families that they're sorry for things they can't and won't feel sorry for. okay. screaming. sobbing.

when i was post op after top surgery i had a good friend there with me to help recover. but the nurse didnt get the memo and when i woke up she was like “ok i’m gonna go get your girlfriend and bring her in to see you!” and i remember being so zonked on anesthesia and so disoriented i just laid there thinking wow…… all that an they’re bringing me a girlfriend too this place is amazing

like theres a reason i deleted the original post. i didnt want anyone to reblog it anymore. i had people literally going out of their way to laugh at me for my 'funny brain condition' and i was getting sick and tired of this. i have stated i dont appreciate this post getting spread around, like i dont know. it has to be at least five times now. and still it follows me everywhere. my aphasia isnt a joke. i didnt realize i had it at the time. dont reblog that post anywhere if you see it in the wild for my own safety and mental wellbeing.

u can however spread THIS post around all youd like! because im tired of seeing THAT one everywhere and the more people that know this the better

ty everyone for reblogging this so fast i really appreciate it but i really dont like to hear like the details about the post or 'not laughing at op but this unrelated part of the post was funny' i do not want to hear about that post like. at all idc if you found some parts funny i never want to see it again

they should put testosterone in sour gummy worms

Reminder that this is an obvious conservative/alt-right OP that is explicitly made to hurt trans women as much as possible by increasing their testosterone. The cruelty is the point. They're laughing at you. (Look at the "founder"'s photo on their website. It's an AI-generated black person with colored hair. A conservative's idea of what "muh libtards" look like. Additionally, they use their twitter feed to urge trans people and trans activists to share their whearabouts. This is an alt-right OP. Don't fall for it.
