Sometimes you look at someone like Brendan Lee Mulligan or Noel Fielding and think what a favor some people are doing for the trans community by not examining some things about themselves.

[cyprokinesis]

You speak as though you are an agent of forcefem, and it betrays your limited understanding. You think by your suggestion you influence others while remaining yourself immune to influence? Do you think this is a force you exert upon others without its reactions upon you? Basements can take many forms. The forcefem acts on us all Exile. And you, by thinking yourself, it's wielder, have made yourself its maid.

She tries to get in my head like that all the time too. Scary, they all do it, you feel like the door to your mind's wide open, but there are things you can do. Have you ever tried to build a commander deck entirely in your head? Really occupies you, can't think about anything else barely, just manabase, sweepers, threats so on. I do it all the time. Nobody sees much else, not even me come to think of it....

Next time you're in that situation build a deck, go through the bionicle lore, repeat the lyrics of your favorite hardcore album. Then suddenly you're not as easy to crack as they thought.

Why are you looking at me like that?

“hes a woman to me” IS HE? or are you equating women with submissive character traits you've arbitrarily put on a random man

[crowsent]

[cyprokinesis]

Trans men are treated differently and often poorly due to how non-normative masculinity is treated in general and how normative masculinity can be treated in queer spaces, this is not difficult to grasp or for me to observe as a transfeminine person. It's basically 101 from concepts in Julia Serano's Excluded.

Any time I've heard this described in real life it's someone begging people to just be normal about things and so it makes me so exhausted that on the internet we've reached some point of extreme not-being-normal about it.

[cyprokinesis]

It's always correct as a transfem who knows how to adjust clothes when a man makes a "the crotch is always too small on my pants" joke to respond "I have some ways to fix that"

[cyprokinesis]

He's soft and he smiles

He can be both kind and wise

And he's passive, dependent, quick to compromise

And he's only strong

when it's motherly

I see him as a child

So he's always a woman to me

***

He's slightly less tall

Or less built like the others

He's sexy and sweet

Because he only bottoms

And you can treat him however you'd like

So long it's male

Yeah can't call him she

But he's always a woman to *me*

[boringkate]

Gosh, babe! Are you the lid on a cold jar?~ Because I'm having a really hard time getting you off.

[cyprokinesis]

Sometimes otherwise sensible people will come out with the most stupid defeatist liberal nonsense, and I get the urge to check if contrapoints has said something again

[cyprokinesis]

Yet to see someone using TMA in a way that means "member of population that is transfeminised in this context and faces social and structural harms" instead of "my transfem freinds" and TME as "member of a population largely immune to being transfeminized" instead of "transmascs that I don't know"

[cyprokinesis]

It's like calling random people on the street "racalized" or "non-racalized" I don't care if you're right it's language that is going to be misinterpreted and start a fight

[cyprokinesis]

Yet to see someone using TMA in a way that means "member of population that is transfeminised in this context and faces social and structural harms" instead of "my transfem freinds" and TME as "member of a population largely immune to being transfeminized" instead of "transmascs that I don't know"

[cyprokinesis]

California "guys" know I'm inculpable

Dude or bro, I say it no-stop

Don't need to read the room, it's not contextual

Oh ooh oh

California "guys" know it's forgivable

Cos no one yet has asked me to stop

West coast represent, it's all a boys club

Oh oooh oh

The Mother Foretold, prophesied to immaculately give birth to the Chosen One.

However, she also happens to be a lesbian who doesn't want kids, so she keeps taking the morning-after tea no matter how many times she magically concieves, while the soul of the prophesied Chosen One just gets ping-ponged back and forth between the Mortal Realm and the Spirit Realm.

­Well, here's a bold new heresy.

[cyprokinesis]

It gets complicated when the fates start getting crafty. Because she would also technically be mother to any of her partners children. When the first one happens it's an argument, tears and a rushed trip to a magical termination expert. But then with the second she recognizes the signs. Now she's in a bind. She has to choose, never find love again or convince every partner she'll ever have to have the morning after tea for what feels like no reason.

Until of course a countess travelling from out town could make quite clear assurances that she herself would never need such tea, and could garuntee our foretold mother would get plenty of use out of the tea immaculate powers or no.

tonight's mixed drink is a me and @lizardsister special called Giggle Juice. it's base ingredients are

- Any alcohol that is pink or clear

- Any non-alcoholic drink that is very pink

and it's star ingredient is

- .1mL Estradiol Valerate

[cyprokinesis]

One part vodka one part pink

Makes you up the giggle drink

Shake it up and mix it well

To blend in a pump of estrogel

Shared with groups or friends is best

Feel the laughs right in your chest

[cyprokinesis]

Lot of people quoting Julia Serano and Jules Gill-peterson like they've read their books then using TME/TMA in a way that indicates they:

1. Actually didn't.

2. Fundamentally misunderstood.

Or

3. Have such core disagreements with the authors about their theories of transmisogyny it's kind of weird to quote them uncritically.

[boringkate]

When people incorrectly assume that I have breast implants: Thank you!!! You really think they look that big and that good? That's so flattering!!! 💞

When people incorrectly assume that I'm wearing one of those sissy breastplate things: I feel like I'm being wronged or disparaged in some way rn, but I don't know why...

MUTILATE UNTIL IT’S YOURS

[boringkate]

I get the frustration with people always saying like "the problem with transphobia is that it ends up harming cis women too!" (phrasing it that way isn't great), but it is like objectively better to have people side with you for selfish reasons than it is to have them not side with you at all.

Showing people that they share a common interest with other marginalized groups seems like just a pretty normal way of soliciting solidarity.

And I'd honestly rather have cis women see themselves as having common interests with trans people (being aligned with trans people in a shared struggle) rather than to have them just benevolently supporting hashtag trans rights out of some sense of moral obligation or guilt (that kinds of support sounds fleeting).
