My taste is amazing and my opinions are beyond reproach.

non-passing trans men still have privilege over trans women

i appreciate people jumping in on the post earlier saying they've been pretty much universally read as a man for years because young trans boys need to hear that. but also. it doesn't matter if you can't even transition you still have privileges over a woman from your same demographic that's just how that works.

everyone can misgender you daily and you can have "F" on every single legal document and yet who's the demographic most likely to be forced into sex work, murdered, and regularly sent to the more dangerous prison. trans men have privilege over trans women and there's no caveat.

Did they let the fucking guy out

imo the way you feel about groups it's fully socially acceptable to hate (like children or polyamorous people, among others) is the canary in the coal mine for underlying bigoted beliefs. if you're only supportive of marginalized groups when it's cool to do so, probably you don't actually care about marginalized groups, you care about other people thinking you care

there are 1 trillion people in the notes of this post saying "yeah! i mean i hate kids but they should have rights!" you hate kids? you mean you hate all members of an oppressed group solely for their membership in this group? right. why do you hate them? because they can't take care of themselves and need help? because they don't understand social norms and can be "annoying" and disrespect boundaries as a result? because they can be messy? because they don't understand things in the same way as you do? that's awesome. how do you feel about disabled people btw

was explaining missing episode reconstructions to someone the other day and i basically said "there's some episodes that are missing because the bbc threw out the tapes so only the audio and some still photos exist and if you want to watch that episode you have to watch a reconstruction which is basically a glorified powerpoint presentation with the original audio underneath basically trying to replicate what the episode probably looked like" and they said "wow that's really cool that people reconstructed them like that so you can still experience the story even without the original video" and you know what? they were completely right, that is so fucking cool. i think we take reconstructions for granted in this fandom and they are actually so awesome and it's such an interesting part of our community. like obviously it would be nice if we still had all the original episodes and didn't need reconstructions but still, it's a really unique and cool thing we have as doctor who fans

There's also the additional aspect that if luxuries are what's expensive, you can choose to go without and then you don't have to make so much money. You can choose to work part-time, or seasonally, or one person can provide for a group, if living is cheap and you don't need luxury. But if being alive is expensive, you have no choice but to work a lot, regardless of how frugal your lifestyle is. And then you may as well buy yourself the latest gadget to cheer yourself up after another annoying week at work, because it costs barely anything anyway.

Was not expecting this to be something that needed saying, but men are very transphobic.

cis gay men are annoying, next question

Het can we back up? What the FUCK is an "AMAB queer space"? Unless you want to show me the secret places that are welcoming to cis men AND trans women BUT no one else, I'm pretty sure the only interpretation of the question is "why don't trans women just stay in MEN'S spaces", but of course they couldn't just SAY that bc it's both obvious and would obviously be transphobic to even suggest.

Ooh, yes, I should decorate my light switch plates here, even if I can't bring myself to do all the painting. I used to have a Lumos/Nox one I made very hastily when I was first renting and it made me happy every time I used it. Light switch plates are such an easy, cheap way to decorate when your space is temporary (they're like a dollar at home improvement stores and very simple to replace with the original when you move out), highly recommend this kind of craft.

Yes to this addition. They're so cheap! Just do something, and then you will enjoy it every time you use it! Do something crappy! You can redo it later. This is such a low-risk/high reward project.

Reblogging because I still enjoy this switchplate every time.

Oh it's wonderful!

They had us do this in Girl Scouts! It's such a wonderful activity for kids too, and a great way to have them contribute to the house. My mother still has my sister and mine up and in use.

@joy-and-whimsy-official this fits, don’t you agree?

Joy and whimsy detected! This arts and crafts is joyful and whimsical!

i think people are starting to confuse class analysis with bioessentialism. like... no not all men do this, but Men as a constructed social class do do this. that's still okay to say. that is regular material analysis of the world around us.
