gay bitch on the loose

just like. you dont need to do that actually. like it IS bad for women and its good to acknowledge that but you actually don't need to treat the possibility of caring about a man or men as a group as feminist kryptonite. its actually reflective of the deeper problem which is tied to oppositional sexism & how that is used as a tool (alongside many other tools) to prevent inter-gender solidarity and revolution.

women are not getting liberated without men & vice-versa & its just annoying how even when people are talking about how heterofatalism isn't good feminism, they still have to make sure to clarify to everyone that they don't care about men, they would never imply that men's feelings matter at all, which. i just think is not actually healthy for feminism. not because every individual needs to personally feel xyz about men.

its the implicit gender segregration. men and women are two entirely different groups, and i am going to convince you skeptics that this idea is feminist by engaging in oppositional sexism and showing that i can be anti-"men ain't shit" but in a way which never implies that there is any connective human tissue between men and women. "this is solely about how this hurts women & femmes" which of course is a group entirely distinct from men & mascs (an idea that should be on its face inane, because femmes should logically include femmes of all genders including men, right? otherwise, what the fuck is the goddamn term for????????)

if i had my way everyone would have to read the essay Collective Turn Off by Sophie Lewis before engaging in conversations around this. cause she has the guts and conviction in her feminist understanding to use the term misandry and get into the muck of women's feelings about men and call out how misandry always ends up hurting trans people, all trans people. that is what makes this conversation productive.

Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

"I like to come home at night, eat, bathe, maybe read some, and then I go to the bedroom. I have a drawer full of men's underwear and socks. I even have a couple jock straps that I like to wear. I put on the jock, the shorts, a pair of trousers and a shirt. Then I have this full-length mirror that I stand in front of and look at myself. Finally, I try to imagine that I AM a man... I know that I'm not and never will be, but I really dig on the fantasy. I thought at first I might be a lesbian, so I gave it a try and discovered that I simply couldn't get into homosexuality. No, I'm not a homosexual--I like men--but I like to dress in men's clothes. What I am is a heterosexual female transvestite--period. You know, when I finally worked up the courage to tell my husband that I really dug dressing in men's clothes, I thought he was going to pass out. He simply couldn't handle it. He wanted me to go to a psychiatrist immediately. I have a favorite fantasy that I hope some day to be able to fulfill. My man knows what I like and he's willing to indulge me. I'd like to go through the bathe routine with the man, get all clean and nice, and then I'd like to strap on a dildo. I have a couple of them and I do this alone maybe twice a month--but I'd like to do it with a man. Anyway I'd strap on the dildo, but on the shorts--hell, everything, and then the man and I would start to talk about sexy stuff. We'd talk about anything and everything that excited us. Maybe even look at some porno movies or books. Have a couple of drinks to lower the inhibitions. Then, we would discuss mutual masturbation. I mean masturbating ourselves together, not masturbating one another. Finally, he would take out his dick and. I would take out my dildo and we would give them a working over. Q--I can see how the man could get off. But how could you get off by masturbating with a dildo? I've done it by myself! Sex is really a head trip and when my head gets into the right place--wow! It would be a great experience for me. I'm convinced of that. Then, when we've done all this, I'd love to jump into the bed, nude this time, and just let myself be devoured by hot and heavy sex."

Playbill has this bullshit to say:

While Jean is the first openly trans person to win a Tony, there have been a number of non-binary Tony winners: Cole Escola, Alex Newell, J.Harrison Ghee, and Toby Marlow.

a black trans woman won a Tony and that is not nothing! and I believe she's the first black woman to win one, period! good for her!

but more broadly, nonbinary actors in general. four nonbinary actors have won a Tony, but it only matters to the community when a binary person does it? Alex Newell (any pronouns) and J. Harrison Ghee (he/she/they) won their Tonys at the same time, the first openly nonbinary people to do so, and served while doing it

they had to put themselves in gendered categories (one other nonbinary performer opted out of the awards entirely because of the lack of a nonbinary option) and they chose to accept the award as actors, officially.

Butch identity doesn’t just go hand in hand with trans manhood and transmasculinity: they are chosen family, they’re friends and comrades, lovers and beloved.

If you deny the lived experiences of trans men and transmasculine people you don’t get to pretend like you see the beauty in the complexity of butchness.

Hi everyone.

I am a disabled illustrator with a life limiting disease, and I would like to be hired to paint your cats so I can recover my supply of my levothyroxine, metformin and liveraid.

50 usd apiece, I will paint your cat for you. First come, first serve- ETA is 3-5 weeks, but when my health permits, earlier. There will be a public list on the commission progress, as well.

Thank you so much, I hope I can work for you!
