there is a very real tendency of teenagers with anxiety disorders self diagnosing with considerably more stigmatized and impairing mental illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia, DID, personality disorders), but the best response to that isn't to get angry with them for "appropriating" lol. instead you show them coping resources for the problems they're actually having and deemphasize diagnostic categories in general. if an 18 year old is claiming to have alzheimer's, they're probably making an innocent mistake and are in genuine distress. be kind.

[mariaalenkoshepard]

Also I think this trend comes, at least in part, from how brushed aside anxiety disorders can be. If your parents and teachers dismiss you with 'oh everyone feels anxious', then inevitably you're going to start thinking that there must be something else going on with you

”You must feel very scared right now; let’s talk about how to help you personally, tailored to your symptoms” will always be more helpful than “stop faking (X) for attention”. If theyre that desperate for attention or an explanation, something is wrong.

remember like 15 years ago when black bloggers were talking about this exact shit, 'digital blackface', white internet users appropriating images and clips of black people and using them as cartoonish exaggerated expressions of absurdity or high emotion. straight line from minstrelsy to your reaction gifs and nobody fucking cares any more. white people just decided not to acknowledge it and it went away, just like every other time black users have ever tried to criticise any aspect of online culture.

Feminine men existed and were part of the queer community long before people built an entire identity around a transmisogynistic slur. Having a problem with a culture based around the degendering fetishization of trans woman isn't "increasing binary expression".

If people had chosen shemale, trap or ladyboy instead of femboy as their new label I'd be arguing against those instead. Hell, tme people do call themselves traps, which is extra disgusting considering what that word implies.

Put on a fucking dress. Grow your hair out. Wear eyeliner, it looks great on everyone. I encourage it. Gender is a scam invented by bathroom sign companies.

But stop building an identity off fetishization of me and stop acting like I'm the problem for being upset by it.

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

I don't care if tme feelings are hurt by this btw. Find a better rebuttal.

Cannot enthuse enough about looking at the flyers on corkboards. As soon as you start noticing them, a whole world of unique events opens itself up to you. There are always people offering guitar and piano lessons, but I’ve also seen flyers for queer game nights, town hall protests, hiking clubs, live music festivals, student film showcases, indie film screenings, stone carving sculpture classes, Pride events, jazz in the park, genderswapped Star Trek stage plays, bike-a-thons, cyberpunk drag shows, an online asexuality archive… tons of the events being promoted are even free and they’re things I never would have known about if not for a flyer in a café or ice cream shop or park kiosk

okay we're not defending transphobic-ass shit like "theyfab/theymab/etc." in 2026. how am I seeing posts unironically being like "oh it's not THAT bad" and "ummm akshully SOME nonbinary people deserve to be mocked (read: misgendered)"

the term originated specifically as transphobic slur coined by transmedicalists (on 4chan, but also on tumblr and twitter) to make fun of nonbinary people who "weren't trans enough"/"weren't REALLY trans"/etc. if you think it's okay to use these terms for nonbinary people you are siding with transphobes, full stop.

the following images are from a 2018 4chan thread specifically asking "what is a theyfab":

there's no magical category of people who it's okay for you to misgender btw. whether or not a nonbinary person is a bad person or not still doesn't give you the right to misgender them. just because someone uses "she/they" or "they/them" or neopronouns or whatever other combination of pronouns you want to imagine doesn't make it NOT misgendering when you start referring to them by their literal fucking assigned gender at birth.

if you still wanna use those terms in spite of all that then by all means, I can't fucking stop you, but let's not spread this narrative that "oh well they're not real slurs." "this misgendering isn't that bad." just admit you wanna call people slurs because you don't like them, whatever.

[trainerbede]

not to still be pissed off about this shit from yesterday but this line from the post that set me off is just so sickening

"getting mad about [derogatory slur] is maybe the most [derogatory slur] thing you could do." idk maybe making leading comments and assumptions regarding both someone's agab and genitals in order to immediately demean them and call them a slur they don't want to be called is just not a good look. maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't be calling strangers terms that have a historically transphobic and bigoted origin.

if you're going to tell someone they can't be mad about you calling them a slur, especially one centered around misgendering them (omgggg these theyfabs are so fucking hysterical they overreact so muuuch what attention-seeking whores amirite), maybe you should just start calling people "le triggered special snowflakes" too since you already wanna side with transphobic 4channers anyway.

dragons as part of a larger ecosystem will ofc have close relatives who are also mineral eaters who fill different niches. most likely this digestive capacity was born out of dinosaur-like ancestors who consumed stones to grind their food in a gizzard. as apex predators, dragons can afford to have very niche mineral needs and fill them by burrowing deep in iron-rich mountains and using their steel teeth and claws like picks to gather more. smaller dragon relatives are less choosy and have softer teeth and bones made from more available minerals and metals, and often still have diets primarily of seeds dropped by local plants after a fire caused by their large relatives.

[malewifesband]

many humans believe mountain dragons to be highly territorial based on the dramatic fights they observe in the sky during mating season, but dwarves who live adjacent to them can attest to their complex pro-social behaviors. both very young and very old dragons rely on prey brought back to the dens by breeding-age dragons. dragons never stop growing, and dragons past the age of fertility rarely if ever leave their dens. they prefer to spend most of their active time digging deeper, exposing more minerals and ore than a younger, smaller dragon could, providing lots of easy nutrition for dragons who need it most, like gravid females and adolescents ready to start leaving the cave to hunt for themselves.

[malewifesband]

an elder dragon is virtually inedible to anything other than another dragon, who will make short order of any deceased elders. this keeps the dens clean of rot and recycles a lifetime of collected minerals. young dragons are not appetizing but are not so mineralized that humans cannot eat them. dragon meat is often sought after by anemics with lots of money as it is safer to consume raw than most liver and, depending on your tastes, may be nicer to eat.
