I know this might feel unnecessarily emotional to people but it means a lot to me/us. I miss being able to do things without worrying if I’m going to be in pain the rest of the day or the next day. It’s hard to not miss those ugly years where things were nightmarish yet easier

So obviously it doesn’t actually matter whether or not anyone knows if one individual person is tme or tma. The framework still holds value regardless. but oop here is kind of showing their hand by saying “without asking if I’m a boy or a girl” right? Clearly they want to catch people in a trap where they ask what gender they were assigned as proof people who use tme/tma are indeed transphobic. And seemingly everyone gets that is the trap because no one is. But oop doesn’t say “don’t ask my agab” and instead says don’t ask “if I’m a boy or a girl” implying they are equating the two.

For what it’s worth tme/tma is not equivalent to cafab because most camab people are tme, because most of them are cis. And it’s not equal to gender either, because most women are tme, because most are cis. But obviously both are factors. If you were assigned female at birth and/or a man, you are in the vast majority of cases tme. we live in a gendered system where both the gender ypu were assigned and the gender you are affect your positionality. We can’t change that if we pretend it isn’t an issue.

“You can’t tell if I’m tme or tma if you don’t know my agab which means it’s bad” is dumb because it’s not me or any other transfeminist knowing that matters. The system which if for instance you get arrested has to decide what gender to house you with knows, and that has consequences. Doctors who have access to your medical records know. The people who raised you and coupd have punished you for nonconformity as a child knew. So oop is correct that we as people who do not know them and do not have power overt them cannot accurately place them specifically as tme or tma. But there system we live in does that regardless.

Trans women gotta spend their whole childhoods larping society’s headcanon for them with no chance of joy or even a rudimentary sense of self and then they’re expected to pretend that this was actually an advantageous position

the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is presents a romance-style female-focused fantasy adventure, which is rare for blockbuster movies.

[argumate]

 - you are Keira Knightley, the high-spirited and ever so slightly spoiled child of a doting father who happens to be the governor

 - every man in the world is crazy about you, from the dashing naval officer who asks for your hand in marriage to the handsome young blacksmith’s apprentice who you met as a child and feel a strong bond with to the devilish pirate lord who saves your life and flirts with you shamelessly and you make out with him once but it’s for a good cause

 - you have two weddings, one where you femme it up and then it turns all emo when it rains on your wedding day and the groom is dragged off in chains by another guy who secretly has the hots for you and then you have a second wedding where you dress as a man because you’re the pirate king now and you exchange custom vows and witty banter during a sword fight with zombies

 - you are Keira Knightley

[empanadazul]

- all three of your potential love interests end up on the same ship at one point they have a lot of tension between them but they don’t fight because you told them not to

- a random pirate you knew for half an hour names you his heir and now you command one of the biggest and most important fleets in the sea

- not only that but you became the Queen of all pirates who now obey you and are at your command. You use your powers to destroy the fleet of the East India Company

- there’s a kraken

[kereeachan]

I’m sorry, KING of all Pirates, please.

[puppygirllaika]

The trilogy ends with you getting head on the beach at sunset from the blacksmiths-apprentice-turned-ghostship-captain who is also your husband.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.
