going on HRT is a serious decision you should make with the utmost gravity. people might think you're cool, badass even. You might find yourself happy with your life, approaching the world with newfound wisdom one way or another. It might be what you want. It might get you off. It might just be a cool story to tell people. I, myself, found the initial experience was like I had sleepwalked through a nightmare for a quarter century - and for the first time, not just the first time I could remember but actually the first time, I was awake, and the sun was shining, and the world was beautiful. So obviously all of those are risks

This was now a decade ago but I got news about this kitty from someone who works at the clinic he lived in: he lived up to 20 years old 💙

the discourse on shaving and wearing makeup is starting again so i'll say one of the more subtle and consistent ways tme ppl have consistently fucked with me is by saying i'm not progressive for wanting to learn makeup and shave my legs lol

noooo don't transition that's so regressive haha. I'm progressive btw 🙂

mousidy

cis women are not on the hook for normalizing unshaven legs or bare faces because their performances of femininity are thought of as natural and innate. they go unremarked upon

trans women's femininity is treated as contrived and artificial, so every little thing we do to perform it is thought of as a Choice, which means we are Choosing to uphold regressive beauty standards

we and cis women are both held to the standard that women are supposed to have bare legs, but we are thought of as being responsible for this standard, rather than being influenced and subjugated by it just like every other woman is

mousidy

part of this comes from the idea that trans women are somehow immune to misogynistic standards. people seem to think that we won't face any consequence for not performing patriarchal standards of femininity, unlike ~real~ women, who are under ~real~ pressure to do these things. so the responsibility falls on us to normalize these things, because we are supposedly in the best position to do so

distressingly few people seem to have gotten it through their skulls that trans women are held to especially high standards of femininity, and the consequences for failing to perform it are especially bad

yes, we are punished for our femininity, but this does not mean we are rewarded for not achieving patriarchal femininity either. it's not either or. we are punished for both. there is not actually a win condition, trans womanhood is a double bind under patriarchy

mousidy

very worth noting, by the way, that testosterone puberty can give you very thick, dark leg hair, not to mention other body hair. I don't shave my leg hair, and sure I think of this as a partly political decision, but I also speak from a place of privilege, having very thin and wispy leg hair thanks to genetics and 8 years of HRT

it's already not my place to judge what other women do with their bodies, but it would especially not be my place to judge what women with thicker and darker leg hair than me do with it. absolutely goddamn ridiculous to ask the women who will be most affected by the stigma against women's leg hair to suck it up and deal with it lest they be called "regressive" by people who can absolutely afford not to shave theirs. be fucking for real

it’s a movie made in 2034. the main character looks at the camera and goes “i was assigned male at birth. i’m a trans woman. being a man makes me incredibly dysphoric. i take estrogen”

there will still be nineteen thousand people on tumblr posting about how transmasc she is and saying it’s just a headcanon when people call them on it though

On TODAY'S episode of "I Think Google Used the Wrong Picture", we have this masterpiece of a thumbnail

Except I clicked on the article and was proven wrong!! Google DID use the right picture! The full image is somehow even better

I don't live in Massachusetts but I hope this one wins

"im not saying feminism is for everyone but-" the fuck? well im saying that. feminism is for everyone. yes even cishet men will benefit from feminism and cishet men should be feminists because cishet men are indeed harmed by the patriarchy; nowhere near to the extent that women are, but having a culture that is fully equal and anti-misogynist benefits everyone. have we forgotten that lifting up the disenfranchised people in society helps all of us as a collective? "im not saying that universal and unalienable human rights are for everyone but-" YES THE FUCK THEY ARE LOL

“it isnt something you have to read critically” well 😭

uptownthots

this technically is true but I think this also perfectly encapsulates why I am inherently distrustful of like. “”cozy”” “turn your brain off” fiction lmfao. like okay WHO gets to turn their brain off and who has to suffer through bigoted caricatures of themselves while everyone else is having cozy silly no brain time 😐

“We are descended from the Witches you couldn’t burn!”

It’s a nice sentiment, I like the energy, I do. That said, I am actually descended from a “Salem Witch,” and my Ancestor, Mary Isham Towne, was not burnt at the stake, she was hanged by the neck until dead. We’re not savages y’know.

Furthermore, Mary Isham Towne was a churchgoing, god-fearing woman, who just so happened to be a widow who owned a piece of land that the local judge wanted to purchase, but which she refused to sell, and which he set out to acquire pretty much immediately after he sentenced her execution.

So, y’know.

as a writer, it’s very important that you know this: whenever you tell yourself “this will only be one-chapter-long” that is a lie. your brain is lying to you. it won’t, in fact, be just a short one-shot

sex workers should be allowed to kill their clients if they feel like it

austsakurakyzor

...why don't they?

One of the universal rights is the right to unionize one's career.

As far as I can tell there's literally nothing stopping sex workers from unionizing or forming a guild in order to protect themselves. Union bosses could even call themselves Madames if they wanna.

Plus, pooling their resources will help them gather their assets in order to hide bodies.

mxjackparker

Whether a sex worker union is permitted depends on the laws of the country we're living in. In places where it is illegal to sell sex, creating a union of prostitutes amounts to a criminal syndicate.

In countries where selling sex is only partially criminalized under various legal models, unions often can (and do!) exist, but their power is limited. In the UK we have SWU (Sex Worker's Union) which I am a member of, but our laws make it so that my union can't support me with a huge range of issues because my union rep would be charged as a pimp if they did. Our efforts to organize for better working conditions always have to come second to pushing for full decriminalization.

There are only a few places which have full decriminalization of sex work. In Belgium, there's the sex worker union UTSOPI. Since it's not illegal to do full-service sex work or any surrounding acts there, UTSOPI is able to have much more influence on public policy and is far more empowered to support their workers.

I realize this was a question, but I do wish people wouldn't start making claims that something is a "universal right" (it's not) and suggesting there's nothing stopping us, as if sex workers are simply too stupid to have considered this already. Sex workers are an incredibly engaged group of workers highly prone to becoming class conscious and politically radicalized.

(Side note: sex worker unions typically have policies against including bosses, whether they also happen to be sex workers or not, and no sex worker union rep or leader would want to be compared to some of the exact exploiters we're organizing against.)

yeah i like to give my blessing to the most pathetic looking weak little knight at the tournament. she can’t even look me in the eye when i give her my flower and she stutters out that she’ll do her best or something of the like. i think its funny when she has to cry and beg my forgiveness and i get to say “such a shame, i suppose my hand in marriage will have to go to someone else…” and then i get to hear her whimper like a dog. ive done this like 6 times alrea-

did she just win.
