you make my crooked heart do freaky little flips ♡

my 100% failproof way to handle reactionaries asking why i don’t shave at all is going “because i don’t want to” it works because what they really want is an argument about the merits of feminism, and they’ll draw it out and try to convince you it’s a cult or whatever, but you can avoid it all by sticking to “i just don’t wanna. don’t feel like it” and if they argue with you about it you can use your ultimate ability, which is “i’m sorry i thought it was a free country?” which, believe me, they cannot come back from. they’ll either drop it or start harping on something you didn’t say, and it’s important you don’t take the bait at that point. when they can’t argue with what you say, they assume your beliefs and attack those. and you crucially must be visibly baffled at their change of direction because it will make them seem and possibly feel crazy (which they are). “i don’t want to shave” is a perfect response because truly it all comes down to autonomy and the ability to do what you want. they’ll try to say “feminism makes you think you have to do that” and it’s important to not take that bait. to reiterate that you don’t know what they mean and you just don’t like shaving and that it’s really weird to look into it that deep. this works i promise

omg you people can do everything

tbh the trans community has too big of a problem with addiction for people to make fun of adult trans people and especially ex addicts wanting drug and alcohol free trans adult spaces

like i know you want to "combat purity culture" but real talk, addiction ruins lives. it TAKES lives. addiction changes the lives of the addict and everyone who loves them in a horrible way. and the fact that most trans spaces for adults center around substance use (especially alcohol and nicotine) probably contributes heavily to the rate of addiction among trans people. trans adults who are ex addicts deserve to partake in spaces for trans adults that dont center around substance use and trigger them, and trans adults who are active addicts who want to get clean deserve spaces where they can go that arent centered around substance use and make them keep using. trans addicts and ex addicts deserve to be in trans spaces too and calling us "steven universe gays" for wanting and needing spaces for people like us that dont center around substance use is all sorts of fucked up. if you want to be in spaces for trans adults that DO center around substance use, thats perfectly fine, but dont dog on us for not wanting that

absolutely hate it when the pleasurable activity procrastination hits. i’m going to do something fun that brings me joy but not yet. yeah, not yet. not yet. maybe i shouldn’t do it at all, it’s not that fun

i love polyamory i love aromanticism i love QPRs i love communal child rearing let’s all get weirder forever

this pride month we’re all going to be radically pro transgender. or else.

hey so this means radically pro ALL transgender. don’t put limitations on this. all trans people are radically accepted here.
