Yeah, financial stability is just horrible

cashier: I’m sorry it’s going to be a 5 minute wait for your food

old people: let me speak to your manager. This never would have happened in my day. And yet you all want the minimum wage raised. I’m going to kill you.

Had a baby boomer in front of me at the Dairy Queen. She INSISTED she was a Blizzard EXPERT and there was simply NOT ENOUGH chocolate pieces in her blizzard and she wanted to complain to "whoever is in charge". She's going on and on with this teenager. The teenager is calmly explaining they make them all the same etc etc procedure etc etc. But this woman is now yelling at the teen.

So I walk past the woman and put money in teen's tip jar. Haven't even gotten ice cream yet.

Woman looks at me. Turns back and yells some more with the teen. I put more money in the tip jar.

The teen smiles at me. The woman can't think of what to say to me and stops yelling, because I'm looking at her dead in the eye like "atm is over there, I can go all night. The more you yell at her, the more money she makes."

Aggressive generosity to combat boomer selfishness is so punk

If you can’t imagine a middle ground between seeing trans men as “just cis women” and seeing trans men as “exactly like cis men in every way”, you still have work to do.

Trans men are men just as much as cis men are, absolutely. We also have different experiences from them because we’re trans: different relationships with gender, different understandings of manhood and womanhood, different positions under the patriarchy, different experiences with childhood and manhood and masculinity and oppression.

We’re not any less men for being trans, but we are different from cis men by virtue of being trans.

That’s why statements like “trans men are men, which means if you try to differentiate trans men’s experiences from cis men’s, you’re saying they aren’t actually men” don’t make any actual sense. Why do we need to be like cis men in order to be men? Why is the only legitimate kind of manhood you can conceptualize the cis kind?

Cis manhood is not the gold standard of manhood, and insisting that the only way trans men can be men is by adhering to what cis manhood is- is ultimately transphobic. Our experiences with transphobia, misogyny, and our unique position under the patriarchy do not make us any less men.

Beat that into your heads: cis manhood is not the gold standard of manhood. Erasing trans men’s experiences does not “validate” our genders, because cis male experiences are not the standard to which every man must adhere.

(Specifying trans men rather than all transmascs, bc many nonbinary transmascs might relate to this, but not all transmascs actually want to be seen as men in the first place.)

it’s a common misconception that neurodivergent people don’t understand jokes. the reality is that neurotypical people are just not very funny.

things i realized in therapy:

i am allowed to be angry with people when they hurt me, even if they are sensitive and cant cope well with being told they did something wrong. their sensitivity does not mean i have to bottle up my feelings & their lack of coping skills does not make me expressing my anger abusive.

shocking, i know. truly shocking.

The whole time either way: Don’t interrupt. Don’t interrupt. Remember to listen. Don’t interrupt!

[thatspookyspoonie]

Bonus: Focussing so hard on not interrupting and actually paying attention that you end up not hearing a word because of how hard you’re T R Y I N G
