but the seventh point was the most important point: the "Bro This Sucks" Quotient (hence the name of the show) or just the BTSQ. the BTSQ was based on how often and how intensely something in the cult made one of the dudes say "bro this sucks". if both hosts said "bro this sucks" within the first 5 minutes of entry into the cult, it was instantly given a fail grade and the episode ended immediately

[ID: a reply from @ospreyonthemoon that reads, "I think mulder could transition whenever. Basically nothing changes except mulder is also her first name because she was like "hm. I should change my name. I don't want anyone calling me fox anyway so i might as well change it now i have a good excuse to." And then he's like "hm. I think i am just mulder really" so its just mulder mulder" /end ID]

Signed prints. PWYW $10+ signed prints on archival paper with matte finish. If a print you want is sold out, check the following week. The demand has been really high and for the time being I need to watch my paper stock lol but I do refresh the quantity after shipment, this will not be removed.

PWYW license (feel free to print for yourself, make stickers, etc. I only ask the art not be edited or used for profit, or if any money is exchanged that it goes toward mutual aid or local organizations for LGBTQIA+ communities.)

Threadless tees and more (80% of my portion goes to the National Center for Transgender Equality). I'll add more later next week.

honestly there's a lot to think abt here from legislation targeting trans women (public indecency, solicitation, prurient purposes) to expectations of sexual availability (everything from cis ppl not caring abt consent to GC genital checks) to pressures around presenting in a sexualized or desexualized way--i know a lot of trans women hav trouble navigating this one, bc one wants to feel good about oneself but the moment you dress in a vaguely revealing way its highly sexualized, leading to a whole counter aesthetic of baggy hoodies & flannels & loose pants (an overlap w traumatized cis lesbian aesthetics for sure, but also w sex workers getting off the clock & not wanting to be harassed on the bus ride home).

its hard to discuss this dynamic without erasing or minimizing the further oppression faced by trans women actually engaging in sex work, especially fssw, but it's been something broadly known by most trans women i've talked to about it that we are seen as an identity inherently linked to sex work. for many people the first exposure to trans women is either porn, seeing sex workers on the street, or "dead tranny h**ker" jokes in family guy or whatever. no normie cis person's idea of a trans woman is a virtuous mother, in terms of the madonna/whore complex of patriarchy we are firmly relegated to one side. rather the dynamic is sexual predator / sexual prey, with sexual prey being considered the more virtuous, but both being seen as open for killing.

"Hi," said the First Guy. "What's up?" replied the Second Guy. Then the Third Guy appeared and they walked to McDonald's. They were all wearing hats.

"No" said judge Holden, "I'm a metaphor for colonialism. Go hide under some dead sheep while I snipe at you or something idk"
