Something that I realised when I first started getting more into transfeminism that really made it click for me is that even when people say "trans women are women", they rarely actually mean that. Even a lot of trans women don't fully believe it when they say it, even if they don't realise.
We're still expected to act like a third gender. Sure you fall more into the group of "woman" than the average born male but a lot of the time there's still an implicit understanding that you are to not push too hard on being a real woman. If you talk about the misogyny you face, the ways you enjoy engaging with womanhood, or start happily taking up space, people will often get weirded out. They'll look at you funny, or they may verbalise disgust. A trans woman might be a woman, but it gets awkward when it becomes apparent that the woman in question genuinely believes it to be true and doesn't just want to be humoured.
I fell into this trap for a long time. I would feel uncomfortable even calling myself a woman sincerely because it felt like I was doing something wrong. I was encroaching. I was pushing my luck with what was acceptable for a pseudo-woman to do. If you are a trans woman who feels like this, like you're a separate category of person than just a plain woman, you have to realise something. If your joy makes people disgusted or uncomfortable, that's their problem. Make them uncomfortable, make them squirm (assuming it's physically safe of course). You owe these people nothing. You are a woman, full stop. Embracing that fact without shame or asterisks does wonders for your self esteem.
just came across a blog doing a ton of gen ai slop as """"""""art""""""" but hold on, it gets worse.
the """art"""" is of nude trans women. None of it was flagged as "mature."
So lemme get this straight. Actual trans women, clothed or not, get flagged and harassed relentlessly as "mature content," censored and blocked and demolished on this site, but someone can just fill a blog with generated nude women as slop and none of it gets flagged?
cool cool cool cool cool cool what the FUCK are we DOING here.
anyway block and report lolly-pop-art.
Trans women are harassed to literal death on this fucking website but y'all are out here making slop of our nude bodies.
A lot of trans women do porn, too, but you can't support that either.
You want the fetishized image of our bodies but no voices, no authorship of how and when we're viewed.

Every time you catch yourself going, "Fuck, are humans just inherently evil and naturally inclined to selfishness and harm???" you HAVE to remember that that's literally a core ideal of Christianity.
So if it feels inescapable and like evidence of it is everywhere, whether at times or always, that might just because you're in a Western country where you're surrounded by Christians who believe that, fundamentally, in their worldview. And also they talk and make art about it all the time and run the vast majority of news outlets. And spent over a thousand years burning any art or texts that disagreed with them. Etc. etc.
If you're gonna come to as drastic and painful a conclusion as that, at least take the time first to make sure you're not working with biased evidence (surrounded by too many people and cultural products that believe original sin is real)
And if it turns out the feeling WAS partly the result of cultural Christianity, then hey, that's great news, because it means there's that much (and it really is SO MUCH) less evidence that humans inherently suck. Which is good, because we don't

Repost, now do your honors.
There's an exhausting, circular argument I'm having with myself.
Am I actually burned out? Or is my writing under-stimulating?
Which leads to;
Is my actual writing boring to me now or am I not getting any readership feedback so I feel zero incentive and motivation to face the empty page and write MORE things that folks don't read.
Do people not want to read this because I actually suck at this thing? Have I dramatically oversold my own ability to write a coherent story?
SOME DAYS I FUCKEN WONDER!
Like some of these questions are just woe is me type shit, but it's not entirely that! There's some reasonable questions here. Maybe just not with the emotional weight I've assigned to them.
I AM burned out. I'm not getting any response to anything I'm posting for my writing. I am growing disinterested in my current crop of projects.
And despite my exhaustion, these problems aren't solved by just getting some sleep.
But sleep is a must, anyway, and these problems will be here in the morning.
What is this witch doing at dusk?

Supreme Court: *Prohibits trans women from womenās sports*
The greatest, queerest allies in town:
Like Iām sorry but this is a clear attack on trans women and some peopleās first reaction is to complain trans men werenāt included? Fun fact, trans men were included in deliberations! Conservative lawyers explicitly argued that trans men being allowed in menās sports was proof that this ruling was not transphobia. Your ability to participate in sports with your own gender was actually used against trans women to ban us.
But sorry you werenāt explicitly named in the ruling
There's an awful trend in reading that's this CinemaSins kind of rejection of abstract concepts and suspension of disbelief, that makes people say it's bad writing when authors use descriptions that aren't immediately one to one with physical reality.
Like it's bad when a "tattoo is undulating" (as opposed to... "drawn in a wave like pattern on the skin"?), or when hair is "wet wheat from a late Summer field" (as opposed to "sort of brownish light yellow that dries lighter, but is not actual wheat stalks growing on someone's head but kind of reminiscent of the color and texture"?), or when when ice cream tastes like midnight at the fair" (as opposed to "ice cream flavour bringing back memories of undefined ice cream flavours that are individually popular but always tied to a memory of late evening at the fair ground and probably smelling vaguely like popcorn and sugar"?).
Please. We have to get back to understanding abstract descriptions that evoke feelings and memories and mental images or things we haven't experienced yet. This hyper utilitarian way of reading and judging text is killing fiction. it's robbing you of experiencing things you haven't actually personally experienced.
Not to derailā but one of the biggest arguments I ever got into during a D&D session was when I was doing some scene setting for my players as they were walking through this canyon and I said they passed beneath an archway of organic rock that rose above them, āimpossibly tallā
Two of my players understood this as metaphorical language, meaning that their characters felt small and insignificant and in awe of the structure.
My other two players however ground the session to a halt to get me to explain how something could be āimpossibly tall.ā They demanded numbers. I said, approximately a 30 story building. And they said āthat isnāt impossibleā and no matter how many times I just tried to move on, they wouldnāt let it go, they were mad because Iād described something as āimpossible.ā And not only did it frustrate me, it also brought the game to a halt for the two other players whoād understood the description just fine, and only wanted to play D&D.
Do you think Clark Kent's first few major articles were about the continued presence of lead pipes in parts of Metropolis' water system
(Average Metropolis reader after investigative reporter C. Kent's 452nd article on yet another case of landlords/business owners/factories' continued use of lead pipes/paint/gas/glass knowingly exposing the public to dangerously toxic lead levels) what the fuck happened to this guy
One day Bruce Wayne mentions in an interview that heroes like Superman are overrated, as the most effective way to reduce crime is to provide public resources and improve local infrastructure, then cites how neighboring city Metropolis has effectively lowered their violent crime by 13% after addressing their outdated water system and investing low income housing. the reporter conducting the interview suddenly starts looking a little uncomfortable
To be clear, Clark is still a fantastic investigative reporter. He still has to track down the sources to prove all this shit
"Who, Clark Kent? Yeah, we're pretty sure he's a Meta. Is he a superhero? Like what, "Lead-detector guy"? "Captain pipes?" Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy and it's a handy trick, but it's lead detection, not laser vision. He's not about to go running around in tights any time soon."
I just love the idea of a cape maintaining their secret identity by pretending to be a completely different and less impressive kind of parahuman.
everyone assumes that kent is so squirrely around superheros because heās just desperately hoping not to be conscripted to the JLA to fix their plumbing
Local Metropolis Reporter Publically Recognized For Contributions To The City; Awarded Medal Of Distinction
They tried to get superman to present the medal but he was offended at being called "overrated" in comparison to Clark so he declined
Counter offer: Bruce Wayne disguised as Superman

Hey this was a real fun little read. It's so great to find these treasures on this site
Weāre happy to have you!
tme people, when a trans woman is being vocal about grieving the childhood that she never got to have, it is incredibly disrespectful to lecture her about the things that suck about growing up as a girl, because we DID grow up as girls. girls who were deprived at every angle of all the joys we sought, shoved into places and spaces where we did not belong, tortured by a community with a deep hatred of transfemininity.
if your instinct when confronted with a trans woman's grief is to contradict her and "correct" her, you need to do some serious self-reflection about why you believe it's your place to speak over her.
(emerges 3 hours later covered in blood) i figured out what emotion i was feeling
