Trans 🚹. Science doesn’t care about your opinion. ~Hiatus~

[arctos-chimera]

I hope everyone is doing well in the midst of this chaos.

~ Hiatus ~

This blog will be on a hiatus for a while. I’m hella busy at the moment, and have found better platforms on which to discuss trans issues. Plus my transition is coming along, and I just don’t need the same support I did a few years ago. I’m aiming to be stealth and pretty much leave most of the “trans” community behind. It clearly doesn’t include nor support binary trans people anymore so, 🤷‍♂️

I’m still going to keep the blog up for now, since we all need a space to scream into the void occasionally. Send me a message if you like, I’ll be checking occasionally, otherwise take care of yourselves. And I really hope my trans followers are doing well in your transitions, and finding positive communities online and irl. Tumblr is toxic, please find greener pastures.

Much love!

And for old times’ sake:

~ The experience of dysphoria is what makes you trans.

~ Dysphoria is a medical condition.

~ The only real gatekeepers are medical professionals.

~ Gender and gender rolls are not the same, don’t conflate them.

~ Being gender non-conforming is not the same as being trans.

~ Don’t medically transition if you don’t have dysphoria. You will regret it.

~ Bisexuality includes trans people.

~ not everyone will want to date you, and that’s ok.

~ pronouns are supposed to make communication easier, and 100% do correlate with gender.

~ someone not taking a neo or noun prounouns seriously isn’t transphobia.

~ gender isn’t a feeling. No one feels like a man or feels like a woman.

~ no one can read your mind, if you’re routinely misgendered it’s up to you to mitigate that.

~ it’s your responsibility to curate your internet experience and manage your triggers.

~ cis and straight people are born that way. It’s ok to be cis and/or straight.

~ Being a man or woman doesn’t mean you have to adhere to 1950’s era gender rolls. It’s ok to be gender non-conforming. It doesn’t make you any less of a man or woman.

~ don’t worry too much about labels.

~ it all gets better.

Ah yes, the “trans” community has hit a new low.

Can you beleive that people in the community are actually against diagnostic tests now? Like MRI and other imaging?

Imagine you’re a young kid who feels out of step with the world. You can’t put your finger on why, and then puberty hits and everything gets so much worse. Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could go to the doctor and they could run tests to acurately see what’s wrong? Wouldn’t it be great to be able to be diagnosed with dysphoria at a younger age, and begin transition sooner? Maybe miss some or even most of your born sex’s puberty? Live our lives as they were meant to be lived sooner?

But no! So called UWU “queers” are selfishly against this! They want to prevent medical science from progressing because, if there are medical tests that can determine whether someone is trans or not, they’ll get left out of the community. They want to invade a community SO BADLY and appropriate a stuggle SO DESPERATELY that they’ll risk trans lives and well being to do so. Their dress up theatrics are more important than the trans lives they claim to protect. They’re fine with making real trans people suffer just so they can rack up oppression points.

This is 100% like anti-vaxxers attacking normal doctors. Their shitty opinion is more important than their child, or anyone else’s child. Their selfishness comes first, and they won’t take no for an answer! So let’s make 2020 the year we finally group the non-dysphoric UwUs with all the rest of the harmful science deniers. Let’s finally all understand that they are doing the community MUCH more harm than good. That they are going as far as they can to hold trans people down just so they can feel special.

Enough is enough.

It’s fine, actually, to dabble in magic.

It’s okay to not be an expert but enjoy keeping crystals in your pockets or stirring your tea clockwise as a morning ritual or having a regular witchy practice that looks like personal wellness more than ceremony and ritual.

Sometimes it leads to more: I learned to make sigils well over a year before I started studying witchcraft in earnest or getting to know my gods.

I personally think it’s important to be upfront about when you’re still learning something (we all are) and not spread misinformation, and be careful– magic can be capricious, and spirits and deities are their own beings with their own desires– but imo there’s absolutely nothing wrong with dipping your toes in a pool of knowledge and just hanging out at the edge.

This is actually so messed up…Making African women use substandard hygiene products is absolutely ridiculous

[ororomunroedontpullout]

People are mad about them taking the female symbol off the package but are silent about this.

[arctos-chimera]

Good thing they spent all that time catering to the Theybies!

This is something I’ve been thinking about, how much is restricting or outlawing abortion going to contribute to child abuse and child neglect? If someone doesn’t even fucking want to be a parent in the first place and only goes through with having a child because of no access to contraceptives or abortion, someone who’s not ready emotionally or mentally to be a parent, how likely is it that they’re going to be resentful about being a parent, and take out that resentment on the kid?

Also, if you think someone should be denied access to abortion from not using contraceptives, or not using them properly, and “that’s what they get for being irresponsible” (how fucked up it is to use children as a punishment for irresponsibility aside) why would you want them to have the responsibility of raising and caring for a child then? Raising a child is a fuuuuuck ton of responsibility, so if not using proper contraceptives makes them too irresponsible for an abortion then why the fuck should the alternative be the very demanding and full of responsibilities job of parenting? Fuck, even pregnancy takes a lot of responsibility cus you really gotta watch what you eat, drink, and do, while making sure you’re regularly going to the doctor for checkups.

There is no other way to cope with the fact that, in a world of peace and prosperity, liberals always outcompete conservatives. Gays and blacks and women and nerds just won't stop demonstrating they are just valuable in the workplace as athletic cis white males. Men who spent their lives trusting in the law of "survival of the fittest" have discovered that law is not as stacked in their favor as they thought.

Conservative values are only useful in times of war and famine. So that's what they long for. That's what they are preparing to create. Because reality is utterly failing to prove their beliefs to be valid.

Things that reduce abortion:

Livable wages

Affordable/free healthcare

Affordable housing

Affordable education

Sex education

Access to contraception

[tobeyisprochoice]

Things that do not reduce abortions:

• Criminalizing abortion • Abstinence-only education

[sephezade]

Violent protests/shooting/bombings at abortion clinics

Aggressively insincere and entirely unasked for impromptu prayer circles

[dankmemeuniversity]

[renthony]

Assimilationist gays repeat the same rhetoric as conservatives and that’s a fact.

If you’re making fun of the angry queers, the punk queers with funny hair, the ones who dress funny and augment their bodies, the ones who thrive through drag and kink and polyamory, the ones who reject the 2.5 kids and a white picket fence, then guess what?

You have sided with the status quo, and I do not trust you.

[arctos-chimera]

Everyone’s included until someone wants the wrong things. Everyone is valid until someone doesn’t express themselves “queer enough”. Everyone is welcome until you agree with the wrong people.

LGBT people are not a hive mind, nor is the entire community 14 year old pink haired punks. Let people like things, and let people be themselves. You all go off on anyone who looks at you funny, and write tirades about rising above the “oppression”, yet you turn right around and shit on your own community members for being different than you.

And NEVER forget the battles the community fought to live a normal life. To just exist. To get married, have kids, get approved for a loan, buy a house, retire with benefits. None of these things were possible a very short time ago. In the USA no less. And NEVER forget there are LGBT folks elsewhere in the world who would give anything to live a normal life, but can’t because it’s still illegal to be gay and trans. It’s a monumental privilege to be so openly queer, only made possible by the battles won by the married folks you’re griping about.

What the fuck

[mango-thot-deactivated20190520]

This comes around every thanksgiving for like 3 years running now and it activates my fight or flight response

[beyonceisstraight]

The only thing I trust is the cake but there’s a huge cursed vibe like a god of chaos and disorder decided to have a photoshoot and this is the result

[chilewithcarnage]

Oh hell feast is back again, I totally do not regret seeing this

[gluten-free-pussy]

Every year I’ve seen this and I have NEVER gotten an explanation and frankly at this point I’m too scared to get one

[e-sadg]

Things that are normal for girls:

wanting to wear clothing from the boys’ department

wanting to cut your hair short

not wanting to wear makeup

being attracted to other girls

hating your body

hating getting your period

hating your breasts and/or vulva

wishing you weren’t a girl

not feeling like a girl

feeling like you’re doing girlhood wrong

[arctos-chimera]

This.

Ya’ll have to stop pushing the idea that not conforming to 1950’s gender roles = transgender. Or that dysmorphia = dysphoria. Or that hating how society views you = trans.

If nonconformity and discomfort really = trans, then literally EVERYONE would be trans. No body 100% conforms. No one likes the roles and rules society has laid out for them. No one is 100% comfortable in their bodies. No one feels like a woman or feels like a man.

That’s why only the experience of dysphoria = trans. And also why it takes a long time to figure out, and why there are so many “gatekeepers”. Because transition will ireversably change you in a lot of ways, you and your doctors need to be sure it’s the right treatment.

Pigeon steals poppies from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Australian War Memorial, Canberra, Australia in order to build a nest beside a stained glass window.

[tinysaurus-rex-deactivated20240]

This is two pigeons, pigeons nest in bonded pairs (notice the first one is checked and its mate on the nest is barred). Usually they don’t make nests nearly so big but I guess if you have the materials, go for it.

[theramseyloft]

The nest is so unusually big because the vast majority is a platform to keep the actual nest (just that tiny ring in the corner around the bird sitting in it) cushioned from the anti bird spikes.

This is a work of beautiful defiance.

Using the very thing installed to make just a moment’s rest impossible as structural supports for an immovably stable nursery.
