Become Very Well-Read Without Reading Anything by a Man

Look, I've read and enjoyed a lot of books by men, I just get... tired. This list includes a range of genres (classics, literary

So I lost my temper with all of the “books you must read before you die” “books to read to be considered well-read” lists that were like, at least 75% male, and made a different list. Obviously it’s skewed by what I’m familiar with, but I’ve tried to get it to be a broad range. Give it a go!

becoming intolerant of bitch/pussy/cunt as casual ways of referring to an imagined opponent in a conversation will have you noticing just how ingrained casual misogyny is. so many popular posts on this site i can't/won't reblog, because their ops automatically assume that it's fun and cool to call the imagined person in their imagined scenario one of those things.

This has me curious because when I worked in the service industry I always had 1-3 trans male coworkers and plenty of trans male customers. Also as a lesbian, most lesbian/women public social events I'm going to have trans males attending as well. I'm curious how often women here are interacting with transwomen.

How often are you around transwomen (or trans males in general, nonbinary males, "amab")? Like talking to, working with, working for, in your social/family circle. Not online, but in person

socially I see transwomen daily (roommate, relative, friend)

professionally I see tw daily (coworker, regular customers, stakeholders)

on a daily basis, I see them both at work and socially

socially I'm around transwomen weekly

professionally I see transwomen weekly

weekly for both socially and at work

socially I see transwomen monthly

professionally I see transwomen monthly

monthly for both socially and professionally

I'm around transwomen less than monthly in either context

One more question. Only reblog with all 3 questions

[nansheonearth]

Last question.

What's your sexual orientation related to this question

lesbian/bi woman and I interact with trans people monthly or more often

lesbian/bi woman and I don't interact with trans people regularly

straight woman and I interact with trans people at least monthly or more often

straight woman and I don't interact with trans people that often

Voting ended onNov 17, 2025

I often feel as a lesbian, and from interacting with straight radfems, that being in a community with trans people exposes us to trans people more but it's just anecdotal for me.

If you find any typos or mix ups in the question you get to take me out back like a rabid dog. Or just dm me. Please reblog

Something that I have noticed is I know almost nobody my age that goes to a food pantry. I know people who regularly run out of money for food and in general have to eat an unsuitable diet because that’s what they can afford and they still don’t go to a food bank, im not sure if it’s because they’re embarrassed or maybe if you didn’t grow up going you don’t know much about it but if you’re financially struggling I really recommend it. And look into other options for food assistance too like community fridges and gardens and other programs that can assist you, where I live Salvation Army pays for an allotted amount of grocery delivery for low income people every month, in the summer farmers take excess produce to the library to be taken by anyone who needs it, etc. There are a LOT of resources for free food that you can look into especially if you are literally not eating because of your financial situation

[junglejim4322]

Btw if you have dietary restrictions you can often let them know and in many cases they’ll prioritize certain items for you

seeing someone comment landfillcore under a holiday decor haul a few years back permanently changed my consumption habits. what an evocative word. I think about her all the time

"I'm just a girl☺️🥰💖💞💅🌺🌷🦄" when you were eight and the teacher said she needed some strong boys to carry something you used to be furious, and when you convinced them to let you help, you carried twice as many chairs as the boys with the righteous anger of a girl who knew she was just as capable as them. Where did that go?

"I don't feel that way. I think..." is a great starting point for disagreeing with people you know and handling it when your friend says something unkind and perhaps bigoted without realizing. It challenges what they said without coming across as hostile and making them defensive.

As an example, an acquaintance of mine recently told me that she would never be interested in a guy dealing with erectile dysfunction because she finds it pathetic. Instead of telling her that was an awful thing to say, I said, "I don't feel that way. I think it's understandable and human that our bodies are inconsistent and that some functions don't always work. There are lots of fun ways to have sex that don't require an erection and there are plenty of ways my body struggles too."

I really recommend it, because it can get people to actually use some introspection, or at least avoids escalating conflict even if they don't agree!
