Every day tumblr users get closer and closer to saying you can only be trans in a god honouring way.

Iâm going to say something that might sound crazy. Suicide and suicide attempts are sort of a societal alarm bell that says âsomething is very wrong with the environment this individual was in.â A living being choosing to take themselves out of existence is the most extreme act of distress there is. The state stepping in to silence this alarm bell by funneling suicidal people into a state sanctioned euthanasia program, normalizing this act through a socially accepted bureaucratic system, is not a good thing. It goes hand in hand with the stateâs interest in maintaining the status quo at the expense of the population and the psychiatric industryâs interest in individualizing societal problems to extract profit and aid the existing system. Itâs saying âthere are no complaints here, just people with sick brains, carry on.â
it does not sound crazy
"girlhood can be anything!" "manhood can be anything!"
so just abolish gender then .. come on pls dont make me beg
why not keep it and have fun with it? acknowledge how malleable and subjective and potentially fun it can be lmao let's have feminine men masculine nb butches androgynous lesbians who are also trans like what's the harm in it
because gender isn't "fun". it's a system of oppression that works by assigning artificial roles and rules to being male or female.
what you're thinking of is what's often referred to as "gender expression", which is actually just a poor catchall term for fashion, mannerisms, personality, etc. these are, indeed, fun! you can be a man or woman and dress, talk, behave however you want.
you don't have to play these weird sexist games by proclaiming your natural human personality and fashion are actually proof you are not really your sex.
I keep thinking this! very frustrating
fuck!
by default i dont understand people with boobs who argue against freeing the nipple and think top nudity is shameful. but ESPECIALLY i dont understand it when you live somewhere where temperatures can exceed like 80F. youre telling me you havent ever wished it was socially acceptable to walk downtown with your tits out when its hot outside. youre just okay with having to wear shirts in all weather and this doesnt bother you. i simply do not believe you............
they let the fucking skull wraith on the mound again. this is such bullshit i hate this league.
you donât realize how important lunch is until youâre wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then itâs 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.
lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.
That article where a law professor argues that battered women are morally entitled to kill their abusers has an interesting quote: â Men can kill women with their bare hands, and they do. Women almost never kill men that way. They canât. [âŚ] While very few women kill abusive men who are asleep or passed out, itâs âunfairâ to charge them with first degree murder, Sheehy argues. âItâs not fair to characterize it as the most heinous form of murder, because it may be their own route to survival. â There have probably been feminist analyses of this already, but itâs worth discussing how the concept of self-defence, especially in domestic violence cases, was designed by men to benefit men. In my country at least, your attack is only considered âlegitimate self-defenceâ if it is a) necessary, b) immediate, c) proportionate. A concept of self-defence that only applies if you hurt or kill someone while they are attacking you, and if you hurt or kill them using the same weapons as them (your bare hands, if thatâs what they are using) only benefits people who are likely to be attacked by people of similar size and physical strength, and is utterly useless to women.
When a bigger, stronger male beats up his much smaller wife, itâs almost impossible for her to kill him in self-defence (immediately and proportionately ie with nothing but her fists), and yet itâs the scenario through which she can hope to be acquitted or get a light sentence. Thatâs not a coincidence. The other two scenarios (and she will be despised if she picks either) are for her to 1) kill him later (when he canât use his physical advantage, eg when heâs asleep or has his back turned on her), but it wonât be self-defence because it wonât be immediate. (In the Jacqueline Sauvage case, one of the main arguments against her was that she shot her husband in the back at a time when he wasnât actively beating her up) 2) use a weapon, but it wonât be self-defence because it wonât be proportionate. Obviously this condition also benefits men, because when a woman gets punched by her husband and she punches him back, itâs seen as a proportionate response but it shouldnât be, because her punch (typically) wonât do nearly as much damage as his. Anything else she does (like use a weapon) to try and hurt him as much as he hurt her will be considered a disproportionate response and will mean it wasnât self-defence.
The idea that killing your abuser in a honest face-to-face fight with your bare hands is honourable and forgivable, but killing your abuser in any other way is shameful and wrong, utterly benefits men and protects men. Itâs also why poison was historically reviled as a âfemale weaponâ and as the most cowardly way to kill someone. Poison has been described as âa great equalizerâ - no wonder men hated it. Men have always hated, and will keep hating, shaming, and outlawing, any form of attack through which women can compensate our disadvantage in strength and size, and they will keep praising as the only valid method of self-defence, the method that presents the smallest risk of being effectively used by women against them.
Holy fucking shit
I love this analysis. Itâs very sound.
calling every gnc cis person you see an "egg waiting to crack" even as a joke is not cool or funny at all actually it is extremely invasive and weird and you are just reinventing gender roles but making it "progressive"
is it just me or is this is an extremely weird thing to say about a random stranger based on nothing but a snippet of an eavesdropped conversation
last time i made a post abt this i got fucking eviscerated lmao but thatâs prob bc i had the audacity to mention how this intersects with race and ethnicity, how yâall LOVE to forcibly feminize east asian and jewish men then ignore centuries of harmful stereotypes youâre playing into.
lol this website became so anti-feminist before my eyes and the worst thing is everyone is still convinced their MRA takes are somehow feminist. You cannot be out here saying that women are hysterical and delusional for being afraid of sexual assault because "women also do bad things."
MY FINGERS BARELY EVEN TOUCHED YOUR STUPID FUCKING AD STOP REDIRECTING ME TO THE APP STORE
She took my fucking mind palace, I'm thinking out of my mind car now.
i wish there was a way to say "you're right, but this is really ineffective and even counterproductive messaging to anyone who doesn't already agree with you" without sounding like an asshole
