Given certain circumstances I should be grateful to have kept this blog for so long without it getting nuked or anything. After seeing so many of my friends fall victim to the broken ass bigoted moderating system on tumblr and lose their whole platforms, I should feel lucky that I haven't been subjected to the same fate. I should feel fortunate.

But I don't. I'm just mad.

[cuckerfailson]

i gotta get my shit together fr tho. like i gotta find a job that pays me enough to not just survive (if it even does that) so i can get more cute clothes and actually go out and have fun. i gotta find more hobbies and i gotta find more ways to live. i have to stop being an avoidant bitch and confront whats bothering me and move beyond it. i have to thrive.

[princess-eternity]

We'll meet again some day. In some far off time, We'll talk about it all and laugh at old griefs. In a sunny garden where lost girls go to rest. We're going to stick around for a while first, We hope you will too. We'll meet again.

[cuckerfailson]

theres so much to life. theres so much to people. i really wish i could be the type of woman to help those younger than me but i lack a maternal personality. i can offer help and advice and i do frequently but it really seems like so many people younger than me are so much more interested in self destruction than i can handle. all i can say is one day you will reach an age where you will realize that you are far more interested in living than you are prepared for.

[cuckerfailson]

i find it a lot easier to talk with people older than me. so many in their early to mid twenties prioritize the wrong things and since im not immediately sexually available it seems they very rapidly lose interest in talking. im interested in people who see life as worth living and forming connections and finding community. id like to garden, and read more, and watch movies and play video games. i even complain like an over 30 yr old.

[cuckerfailson]

id like to make more friends. im becoming less and less interested in sex and far more interested in making meaningful connections. everything is so transient these days though, ive moved cities so often and changed jobs that trying to find people that actually interest me and can also tolerate how goddamn uh, weird, i am is so difficult. starting to actually be alive 10 years too late.

Every time a transfem takes her life a city should be put to the sword.

[probuccalfat]

every time a young gay person quits smoking or makes the decision that they want to quit, the sun shines on us all with the promise of happiness and beauty.

[probuccalfat]

i appreciate everybody that’s sharing the sentiment that it’s good for anyone to quit smoking (it is) but i very specifically wanted to highlight and encourage LGBTQ youth because lesbian, gay, and bisexual people are about 1.5 to 2.5 times more likely to smoke cigarettes than heterosexual people, and the statistics for transgender people are even higher than cisgender people. this is due to tobacco companies marketing heavily and aggressively to LGBTQ communities and exploiting the higher rates of mental health struggles prevalent in our communities.

i want and hope to see all my LGTBQ people live long, healthy, fulfilled lives despite how predatory and punishing this world can be. you should stay around as long as you can to make it a little better in your own way.

Hi! I’m confused, will you please help me?

Why is sex-based oppression considered a bad framework? I sometimes see it compared negatively to the concept of transandrophobia, and I’m curious why. Thank you!

there is utility in understanding that different people have different relationships to reproductive rights, social norms, etc based on their biology and the societal forces that start acting on us literally at birth. I'm a trans woman, no matter how much I want to I can't get pregnant. the sex that I was assigned at birth did not cause that, but it is why my driver's license is misleading.

so what is sex-based oppression accomplishing?

conspicuously separating sex and gender

conspicuously discarding gender

tacitly asserting that sex is an immutable biological fact and not a social assignment

treating assigned sex as the most important factor determining someone's relationships to the things in the paragraph above

grouping trans people with the sex that they were assigned at birth

straight-up ignoring intersex people

literally nothing beneficial. it's just asking you to ignore all nuance in favor of the sex you were assigned at birth.

it is a dog whistle

TWERFs use it to court transmascs, so if I heard someone say it I would immediately wonder who their friends are. very large red flag. if they were my friend I'd speak up out of concern for them (and me).

There is ongoing scientific and societal discourse on the definition of biological sex. At this critical moment when misinformation about se

Lack of unanimity on how to define sex is not inherently problematic and we contend that a universal definition is not necessary to pursue. Scientists should be specific and clear when discussing sex and sex‐related traits to advance more accurate science and discussions. Active debate and discourse lead to better understandings of complex biological diversity. Regardless of how sex is defined, research that documents and describes the diversity and variation of sex in nature should and will continue in biology (Aanen et al. 2016). Our ultimate goal is to prompt critical thinking and discussion about how we operationalise sex in research, encourage consideration of the ethical and political implications of defining sex and urge acknowledgment that there is no current consensus on a single definition of sex. Most importantly, we assert that biology should not dictate human rights.
