a simple man

another underappreciated tumblr feature that you dont get on other sites is the queue. i love it when something i thought was funny six months ago and then forgot about a week later crawlts its way out of the processing vortex and i get to see it all over again.

you should queue this post it would be funny and grant me immortality

you motherfuckers put me in the processing vortex

it's funny transitioning and being into hobbies ppl see as masculine because it's like ... you'd think it'd be funny but actually now I'm a minority woman in a male dominated space and it sucks!

actually this reminds me of when I was talking about how being a trans woman in computer science means you're surrounded entirely by the worst men you'll ever meet, and the insufferable "feminism has gone too far" types crawled out of the woodworks to say they (as men) hadn't experienced that so I'm making it up. crazy how transmisogyny is a kind of misogyny huh?

and then a fun side effect is that all your queer and trans friends treat you like you're basically a man for the crime of not disavowing like....being into a card game or something. that was a huge bit of isolation for me after coming out, i really felt like i needed to break and bend myself into a shape people wouldn't instinctively flinch away from so i could actually have friends like me.
