if phrases like "afab bodies", "amab people", "afab healthcare" ever leave your mouth, you are at best being quite cissexist, and probably (due to the uneven nature of regendering/degendering) being grossly transmisogynist. stop believing in immutable binary sex and start using accurate language.
endlessly funny to me that my harassers are still not over the puppy swimsuit
It would hurt their narrative to admit that Patricia Taxxon is in fact mentally ill, they can't admit that they've been tormenting a mentally ill trans woman for half a decade or more. If it was still socially acceptable for them to deny her trans womanhood (a tactic frequently used on chris chan, another transfem victim of this type of kiwifarms harassment) they would.
I must once again restate that i have very much drawn my own fursona in sexual contexts and yet they do not argue that every depiction of my fursona has this absurd transative property where every depiction is sexual content. It is because Patricia is a trans woman, and her kink is more taboo than mine, that suddenly every depiction of her is kink art. Nevermind that I'm not into this kink, nevermind that I'm gay and not into women.
These people are kiwifarmers and are still continuously sexually harassing me and my friend over this image:
the thread that makes this image pedo art:
- patricia taxxon privately engages in ageplay roleplay
- me and patricia taxxon are friends
- i (who doesn't like this kink and isn't into women) drew her as a puppy because she likes it
- in every context puppy is necessarily sexual because these freaks can not stop thinking about my friend's sexuality "for some reason"
they keep shifting the goalpost on the precise reasoning as to why this image is sexual as well. when it started they argued that the swimsuit itself is what made it sexual. people pointed out how fucking horrifying it is that britt viewed a child's body in a swimsuit as itself sexual content so i guess at some point the narrative shifted to fully admitting they believe there's a transative property to sexuality that makes every instance of [thing] sexual.
as far as i'm aware they have ignored my constant critique that they could very well apply the same reasoning to my fat kinks to argue that my depiction of myself is sexual content, but maybe this would reveal how blatantly dogshit this all is. do i not also hornypost about getting fatter all the time? does this not also make every instance of belly i draw covert kink art? eat grass
genuinely why are these piece of shit kiwifarmers still on the website. You want to kill trans women, that's why you're on kiwifarms.
We need to invent a socially acceptable way of bragging about your girlfriend's dick. Like I'm just supposed to not say anything about it? Even if it's beautiful!? Fucked up.
it's crazy how plausible all the shit the corporations do in the murderbot diaries is. that one scene when murderbot was talking to those humans who had signed a 20 year corporate work contract and it asked them if the contract specified 20 years by the standard local calendar or by a proprietary calendar created by the company was downright unsettling đŹ if the ceos of modern earth companies read these books they would probably start crying because the government won't let them do most of this in real life.
hey fun fact this has absolutely happened before. part of the push to standardize time/timezones was because factory employers had clocks set to the pace of their machinery. meaning of the workers were not doing enough, time would run slower until they had reached their goal. there is historical precedent.
Yup. All the shit modern Capitalism is pulling is mostly a rework of the shit Capitalism did in the 1800s. This is WHY people fought and died to unionize and pass labor laws. Now those labor laws have been weakened or companies found loopholes (ie, gig workers are contract workers and not protected by many labor laws) so they're pulling the same shit again. The Corporation Rim, of course, HAS no labor laws so the companies have been able to crank up their evil to 11 because nothing is stopping them. It is genuinely a really good bit of worldbuilding on Martha Well's part, she's done a great job projecting the tech bro bullshit of our times into the future that Musk, Zuckerberg etc would build if they could.
a certain lego character game is not blamed enough for the current state of the internet and the age verification shit. they also arenât blamed enough for the way they treat victims that tried to get something done about it.
I don't know what this means but it has piqued my curiosity
i wasnât clear enough on this sorry (i was half awake)
i mean roblox. i honestly feel like a lot of the age verification picture of your id or selfie bs (which is dangerous as hell) thatâs starting to pop up on social medias might partially be robloxâs fault. (at least in the us.) that was their solution to the pedo shit theyâve allowed to run damn near unchecked in most cases or honestly looks like they just allowed to some extent, and now social medias are moving to do the same thing.
and the victims who tried to do something about what was done to them just get treated like they did something wrong. iâve reported shit that got blatantly ignored. other people have reported and then they got banned instead of the âcondo gameâ or creep they reported. schlep was treated horrifically when he exposed a lot of it on his channel. he gets banned from roblox if he tries to join, theyâve sent him cease and desist after he exposed pedophiles roblox would not do anything about, tried to smear his name saying he brought predators from discord to roblox to smear them, just ridiculous levels of bullshitery. they also have a group where parents and kids can offer input on what they could do better, but to join it you have to sign an nda and agree not to sue roblox. itâs absolutely disgusting. and on top of all of that they introduce an age verification system that shuts out anyone who isnât or who doesnât look like theyâre in the same age group as whichever group it is. that would be all fine and dandy if it was actually possible to do that online. it isnât. A. you have to give the company with a miserable track record of child safety a picture of your child. it goes to some third party but those people are strangers as well. HELL NO
B. bypassing that isnât even difficult. people have gotten around with a literal barbie doll.
C. it basically just built a wall around a playground that creeps can still sneak into. only now people who give a damn canât look over and see whatâs going on because now thereâs a wall there.
had a photo of a planet in my downloads folder i didn't recognize
until i opened it, and it was DUCKS
DUCK PLANET, BABEY !!!
That's a pretty spectacular photo of Duck Planet B, especially for a smartphone-through-the-eyepiece shot, but my favorite picture of the Duck Planets will always be this one from the Anatid-II probe which flew by the pair in 2011:
The cloud banding is a little clearer in this view I think, especially the high southern latitudes.
"only those who have organs that can give birth deserve protections from misogyny" is just thinly veiled "a woman's value comes from her ability to give birth"
women who cannot give birth are treated as valueless and unworthy of protection, and thus face much more aggressive misogyny. misogyny is not only faced by women who can give birth. very far from it
being told you're lucky you can't get pregnant feels a little like being told you're lucky you can't get a job, to be quite honest.
yes, women are expected under patriarchy to perform this form of labour, and it is often involuntary or coerced, and usually physically grueling. yes, the proletariat as a class are constituted under capitalism by being forced to sell their labour-power to be used by someone else, contrary to their own interests, in alienating, life-negating conditions.
but no, being unable to get a job in a society that continually punishes those who fail to successfully market themselves as employees to the ruling class of capitalists is not lucky or a privilege. you should not tell the unemployed person who can't afford to eat that they're at least lucky they don't have to waste their time waiting tables.
and no, women who can't do the thing women are constantly punished for failing or refusing to do are not lucky. every moment we live in patriarchy we are punished for not measuring up to its definition of woman as birthworker, and that is misogyny.
kind of harmonically beautiful
TFW you're just trying to use the public washroom as a washroom, but the customary free use femboy that's chained up in there with body writing and cum all over them keeps locking eyes with you and making it awkward.
"[thing associated to trans women] but for transmascs :3" and other ways of making something immediately worse on multiple levels
asking for the blue version because you cannot possibly just relate to women once in your life
usually transmisogynistic
even when talking about something like art, and even if not done in an explicitly transmisogynistic manner, self-evidently derivative and i've yet to see somewhere where it didn't become instantly less interesting than the original concept
have you ever had a single original thought
"what about men :("
there is absolutely nothing barring you from engaging with transfem culture as a non-transmisogynized person btw. i read countless books and articles from trans women and transfeminized people, follow multiple comedians, go to events where non-transmisogynized ppl are allowed, etc etc etc. they're neat. and turns out when you don't go around whining about the poor forgotten men nobody has a problem with it
#a lot of this impulse is just because of bullying#like the idea that trans womens art/memes/culture are âcoolâ#and trans mens are lame and cringe#well i hate to say trans men do have culture lol you just find it embarassing#maybe look inward.
maybe there's something to it (tags by @bottom-growth) because there is a certain brand of tboy edgelord who's all about Punk But With Frogs or whatever who, anecdotally, i'd say is overrepresented here. thing is, mainstream culture also finds transfem-associated things "cringe" (just look at how people will talk about puppygirls to name one), they just take whatever they feel like from it all the same and get to be "cool" once they are the ones doing them. the girls just seem better at not giving a shit (generally speaking, of course)
ive heard so many arguments about what the "transmasc version of Celeste" is and boys you can just like Celeste. its a good fucking game. liking Madeline doesnt make you less of a man it just makes you a man who likes a transfem character.
funny anecdote, literally the first person i ever met who mentioned liking celeste irl was a trans guy.
i seem to recall him kinda treating it as a given that he liked it given that he's trans, before i think mentioning it even helped with cracking his own egg? because, like, on top of just being a good game, the trans allegory of it is not like inherently purely atomically transfem! trans experiences are by nature suffused with gender but transness itself is inherently not gendered because how even could it be. trans men are trans in the same sense as trans women are; it's not like there's this dualistic pair of equal and opposite ways to gender that we only group under the label of trans because they're both not-cis. just because a game has a reputation for helping girls figure out they're girls doesn't mean it isn't valid that it helped this dude figure out he isn't one!
and the thing that actually makes this anecdote funny? when i first met him, it was through a group, and in this group we were starting by setting ground rules for stuff, and when microaggressions and how to handle those came up he casually mentioned as if it were obvious that he has a lot of experience being misgendered. in my head i was just so confused. didn't he just introduce himself with a masc name and he/him pronouns? why would he be uncomfortable with being gendered that way? maybe he isn't a binary man, but in that case why hasn't he volunteered any other apparently critical details about his gender identity? it took me at least a month to piece together that okay i guess if you're actively trying to do so it's relatively easy to clock a fairly short man with a boyishly high voice, an impression of pectoral fat under his shirt that doesn't look like breasts unless you ask yourself if it does, and strangely curvy legs that he usually doesn't wear anything form-fitting on as probably transmasc. last i heard he still hasn't felt like he can safely start t with his parents being the way they are, he hasn't gotten top surgery or anything, and i still just can't begin to understand how it's possible for someone to misgender him accidentally. like HOW WOULD THIS DUDE NOT BE A DUDE. he simply exudes guy vibes. at worst he just kinda reads as younger than he is, and isn't like ultra conventionally straight dude macho which wouldn't make him less of a man even if he wasn't gay. and as hopefully everyone knows being a gay man doesn't make him less of a man either. if someone whose self-evident masculinity transcends the supposedly objective facts of his appearance can be a celeste fan, so can you!
plus i'm kinda talking out of my ass about the specifics of celeste as trans media because i haven't even finished the game yet LMAO. i do know that the narrative wasn't intentionally trans given maddy thorson's own egg hadn't cracked as of the game being published and madeline was only retroactively established as canonically trans after having been written as such from experience by accident. i also know that he thought nothing of urging me to play it before i mentioned i had already started it and gotten stuck, because it's just a really good game, and while he wasn't exactly surprised when i later came out as trans myself he wasn't expecting it either and had just genuinely figured hey i think this cishet man would enjoy celeste because it is a good game that i would recommend to anyone. more recently, the person urging me to finish it has been the most painfully obvious transfem egg i have ever met, who explicitly cites madeline being trans as part of why it's awesome and i need to finish it, and who despite every tortured leap of logic to deny a burning desire to be worthy of sapphic love is still unflinchingly confident in the correct conclusion that men are allowed to play celeste it's just good it's also trans and that isn't like shackled to the specifically transfem bit it's just. it is what it is. ?
Every time I see a Season Greasons post, I canât help but wonder how many people actually know that image is from Man After Man and is supposed to be future evolved humans killing each other for food
Iâm sorry please elaborate what is Man After Man
And why are the evolved humans so hairy
Man After Man is a book by Dougal Dixon on the speculative evolution of man after climate change, genetic engineering, and environmental collapse leads to the engineering of new human species to fill those biological niches, which then goes completely wild when society totally collapses and evolution runs wild.
As for why theyâre so hairy? To survive in the freezing tundra. Why are they in the tundra? No idea. New human subspecies are created seemingly just to exist. However, be glad that they are hairy cause itâs the non hairy ones that are really horrifying.
Like the aquaticsâŚ
Or the space avocados Vacuumorph who were engineered to build spaceships for the eliteâŚ
Or these fucked up horsed peopleâŚ
I got this far down the rabbit hole. Might as well dive deeper.
Goddamnit. Why did I even mention those? I don't want to be known as the Man After Man tumblr đ¤Ś
Well you know the guys from the meme?
Well over the course of Two million years, they eventually go from that to this...
Yep, the hunters have now become literal Parasites who feast off the blood and fat of the now massive and hairless tundra walker Hosts
But it doesn't end there. You remember how it was mention that there were spaceships being built? Well those humans eventually return to Earth after several million years. And do you want to guess what they do?
This...
They turn the Hosts into this, massive immobile mountains of flesh harvested for meat as quickly as it grows.
So yeah, that's what the Season Greasons meme is all conected to and I am angry that knowledge of this takes up actual space in my brain
This time of year, itâs important to remember the story behind a classic holiday image.

Emily Wilson's translation is already considered to be one of the best translations of the Odyssey on the market. Her book was selling well way before this dude came along and made his mediocre movie.
the thing about the concept of gendered socialization is that so many people use it as like another kind of gender essentialism. you know it's not an immutable trait right. you can literally overcome it.
"i'm like this because women are socialized to be shy and quiet and subservient" okay good on you for recognizing it, but that's only the very first step. the next few steps are that you Stop Doing It. feminist thought vs feminist action.
and when ppl see a trans woman being confident and unafraid to take up space and decide it's because of her evil evil male socialization, i'm always like "wait you're saying this woman was raised as a child to be loud and confident and take up space? that's awesome, i thought that's how we WANTED people to raise girls? why exactly is it a problem now? đ¤"
like WHY are you telling trans women that they literally have to make themselves smaller and conform to the WORST gender exceptations of women to be seen as real women. since when is it evil and masculine to be confident, i thought we were supposed to be doing that. i thought that was feminism.
They also treat socialisation as some indelible artefact of the past, not an ongoing process. Women aren't just more shy and cautious on average because they were taught that as small children; they're like that because of the environment they're still in at forty or fifty. It's not some irremovable childhood brainwashing, it's a reasonable reaction to current circumstances. A great many trans women become more shy and quieter after coming out or transitioning because the people around them socially punish them for not doing so, same as previously shy and quiet cis women become more confident and take up more space when put in environments that don't punish them for it. They act like someone's personality and behaviour are branded into them based on whether they have a penis at eight years old, but that is simply not the case.
Whenever I see people who are like "trans women are all loud and aggressive and uncouth (/negative)" I automatically think "do you think black women are all loud and aggressive and uncouth (/negative) too? Because that's what you sound like. You sound like someone who met two or three women from an oppressed minority that were more confident than you wanted them to be, and decided that the whole demographic was beneath you in a different way for daring to not stay in their place."
I thought I'd share a little story about a trans support organisation I worked for. When I joined, the volunteer team was Alice (trans woman), Bob (trans man), Charlie (transmasc non-binary person), Dave (transmasc non-binary person) and me. Not their real names, obviously. Bob was the founder of the group.
At the first volunteer meeting I went to, Bob announced that Alice had been removed from the team because she was rude and aggressive. Apparently she had told Bob to "stop talking" and Bob didn't like that. I mentally marked this down as "potentially concerning" and went on with volunteering.
Over a few months, some obvious problems started cropping up with how the support sessions were being run. They were way too formal, people were afraid to go to the bathroom while Bob was talking, and he talked a lot. People had to stick to the "meeting theme" otherwise he'd interrupt to make them get back on track. Imagine going to a support session the day after you were the victim of a transphobic attack, and you're not allowed to bring it up because "we're talking about Pride today". It was laughable. Tbf Bob was very young and had no experience and he said he wanted feedback from people older and wiser so I did that.
I wrote a pretty long message to the team about what I thought the group did well and what could be improved. One issue was that Bob had floated the idea of "keeping track of everyone's hours worked", and Dave and I strongly objected to this since it is totally counter to a happy volunteer team to treat it like a workplace. But half the message was devoted to praising the good things Bob had done, because there were actually good things about it too.
Bob was receptive, some months passed, and then Dave sent a similar message, but much more confrontationally written, about various issues with the group. Dave quit at the end of his message, then Bob quit saying he'd "had enough of all this criticism", so then it was just me and Charlie.
At this point I decided to contact Alice to find out what had happened with her. It turned out the "stop talking" thing was when Bob had been having a meltdown and she was trying to calm him. She didn't know she had been kicked out of the group until I contacted her months later, no one had told her anything. So now I have a particularly low opinion of Bob.
Anyway, Charlie and I kept running the group for several months, though Charlie lives far away so I am doing all the irl work. Then one day I find I can't access the group email address or Instagram. Then Charlie messages me saying they don't want to be involved any more, and they also think it's unfair for me to have access to resources of the group when I criticised it. Even though it was Dave who criticised the things in question, I am being held responsible.
I press further, and it turns out that Bob has changed all the passwords behind the scenes because he doesn't want me "profiting" off his work (what profit? We're all volunteers!). Charlie says it's unfair for me to stay since this whole thing was Bob's creation and I shouldn't get to keep it, so Charlie is leaving and if I want to keep running support sessions I'll have to have a chat with Bob and see if he's willing to work with me again. So I end up essentially being asked to interview for a position I already have by someone who doesn't even work here any more, because he took the group's passwords hostage, and Charlie is taking his side because they're friends. I honestly think about it, despite all the indignity, because I don't want the support to dry up for the people who rely on it, but in the end I can't face Bob again.
And that's how I learned how many "support" organisations are really vanity projects by their organisers rather than genuinely coming from a place of wanting to provide support to the community. And also how I inched a little bit closer to transfem separatism as a general policy.
POV: You just got hit harder than you've ever been hit in your life
Repeat after me:
Transmisandry does not exist.
Trans men are not systematically oppressed for being trans men.
They are systematically oppressed for being trans.
That is literally transphobia.
So that means that transwomen are not oppressed for being trans women, but just for being trans, right?
Trans women are oppressed for being women & for being trans.
Why would a conversation about how trans men arenât oppressed for being men âmeanâ anything when it comes to trans women?
This is literally âsoo if unicorns donât exist then neither do horses!!! CHECKMATE SJWâ logic.
Transmisogyny is literally the cross section/overlap of transphobia and misogyny. Therefore, transmisandry is the cross section of transphobia and misandry. And we all know misandry doesnât exist, sooâŚ.
