Shout out to the phrase “I’m going to become the joker” for capturing a very specific and real emotion

at the risk of sounding insane: it's generally odd to me that most of these misogynists' reactions to "trans men have male privilege" is "that's not true, because some of us don't pass as men! some of us aren't medically transitioning!". because at it's core there is nothing wrong with this feeling, gender is what you make it + I'll always respect n use your pronouns + I recognize you as the gender you say you are wholly + I'll be damned if i ever go down the transmed pipeline, but it's a little sad that your first reaction to hearing the term "transgender man" is to picture someone who society sees as a woman. and not only this, your view of trans men as a whole is so intrinsically tied to women that you cannot conceptualize that some of us look like men and are treated like men and gifted male privilege along with society's perception of us. to put it bluntly you've "gender is a spectrum!"ed yourself into transphobia

all in all I take a complete disarmament and non-proliferation stance on boyfriends. Do not use them. Do not create them. Dismantle the ones you have and repurpose their material for peaceful civilian use. This is the only way the world can know peace

Did you know that after they switched to blind auditions, major symphony orchestras hired women between 30% to 55% more? Before bringing in “blind auditions” with a screen to conceal the the candidate, women in the top 5 major orchestras made up less than 5% of the musicians performing.

The case of blind auditions for orchestras and how it dramatically changed the gender makeup of orchestras is a very illuminating example of gender bias, and an interesting possible way of countering it.

You can be sexist without knowing it. You can be racist without knowing it. This is not a moral failing; it is a moral imperative to remember that you are fallible, and take steps to limit the damage your squishy ape brain’s foibles can cause.
