I hate how it's always "stop letting your teenagers drink energy drinks!!!" And never "stop letting energy drink companies put dangerous amounts of caffeine into their drinks and stop letting them market to teenagers" or "stop forcing teenagers to be at constant sleep deficits because of early wake ups and absurd homework and stress loads" but hey who cares why not blame the literal child for trying to stay awake enough to match the absurd expectations y'all have for us now
the 1980s nuclear family (based on firsthand accounts of people who lived through it):
bipolar mom with severe untreated PPD
workaholic & alcoholic dad
eldest son who is a 15 year old binge drinker who has been employed since he was 13
middle child sister who got really into church to avoid being at home, will be a pregnant housewife by age 19 despite being the most promising member of the family
sensitive little brother with a stealing habit
divorced Vietnam vet uncle who sleeps in a tent in the yard
chain smoking grandma who might have killed her last two husbands
dog that somebody dumped down the street that lives there now (best dog ever)
really upsets me when people act like crying in front of strangers is always somehow manipulative. i say this as someone who would rather eat glass than let anyone see me cry. i can turn it off instantly when a human being appears within a 50ft radius. but the difference is i know I'M the fucked up one. if i see someone in the grocery store openly sobbing in the baking aisle, i assume something really bad must've happened and they probably do not want to be doing what theyre doing. i could be wrong but like also not my business. shit, maybe their favorite chocolate chips arent in stock, idk. "it's attention-seeking behavior and theyre trying to elicit care from people who don't owe them anything and it isnt normal and it makes everyone uncomfortable--" okay then idk go live in the woods and never perceive another human being ever again since it bothers you so much, tiffany. jesus fucking christ.
late addition: sorry if i wasnt clear but this is a vent post about my actual, specific, personal, real-life experiences with loved ones btw!! not just online discourse!!
My least favorite new politically correct term is "unhoused." Like you can just tell it was created to make liberals feel less icky when talking about homeless people.
I was homeless. I was homeless as a child and as an adult. That shit sucks believe it or not.
The uncertainty. The ever-present grimy feeling from lack of access to running water. Having nothing to your name. The shame you feel is asking your fellow man for the bare minimum. Just so much shame, man.
"Unhoused" is so clinical. A technical term. Sure, its not incorrect, but it doesn't properly convey the emotional and psychological impact homelessness has on you.
You say "house", I think of a structure.
You say "home", I think of stability.
As someone who was also homeless as a child, you put my discomfort with this term into words perfectly. I once had to argue with someone who outright refused to use the term homeless because she worked with homeless people, even when I— an actual homeless person— was telling her that it felt like she was sanitising what I actually went through.
I wasn’t just without a house, I was fundamentally living on the outskirts of society without an ounce of stability, and sometimes not even shelter can relieve that. Sometimes I wasn’t unhoused, but I was still homeless.
the reason I casually say charlie kirk's wife had him killed is not necessarily because I believe it, but because nothing stops the right from spouting random conspiracy theories about political enemies, so i'll say whatever the hell I want when one of their idols dies. also it's funny. the entire charlie kirk death is inherently funny. he was in the middle of answering a question related to mass shootings when he died.
u gotta get less misanthropic I'm not kidding
especially now with all the bullshit going on in Kansas, in Texas, in Iran, with Israel and Palestine, this ICE shit, this Epstein shit, it is essential to remember that evil and violence is not the natural state of humanity. this is not what humanity is like. if it was, there would be no reason to be disgusted or fight against it. most people are good and decent, and are victims of this, and by reducing it to a "carte blanche humanity is fucked anyway" you are casting aside the good, decent, loving people with rich inner lives who these cowardly fucks think are disposable
I hate ruminating on what could have been. Out here thinking "if only I locked in when I was 13" are we serious
infantilization of trans men is just a tactic used to try and retraumatize us into silence
just in case it needs to be stated plainly "transandrophobe" is not a substitute word for trans fem. trans fems are not more likely to be transandrophobic than the average person. trans fems are not the enemy or the Ultimate Oppressor of trans mascs. if anyone adds to my posts about how "trans women are always xyzing" or some other divisive nonsense blaming trans women at large for the behaviour of some random assholes online as if theyre a hive mind you're getting blocked. you're just as bad as the people you claim to criticize.
Gonna be real Red Strings Goddamn Everywhere about this one, but ever since finding out how even /pol/ on 4chan was related to billionaire pedophiles, I've become convinced that there is a concerted effort everywhere to drive wedges between different sections of the trans community.
Don't get me wrong, there absolutely are some seriously fuckass people being real supremacist and disregarding the suffering of other kinds of trans folks. But the sort of hateful bile I see and the amount of likes and shares on it, compared to *all* of my experiences with transmascs makes me think.
It's mostly bullshit. It is actually mostly bullshit. I am *convinced* that the amount of community sniping that happens is being actively spread and blown up by bad actors who want the worst for all of us, to drown out solidarity and make it impossible.
Not only should our community be leaning on each other, but honestly? We actually do a pretty alright job of it! Could be better. There are problems and we could stand to take each other's problems seriously more often.
But we're alright at it. And because we're alright with it, there are obviously malcontented rich motherfuckers and bot farm jackasses that are trying to drown that solidarity out with rot and bile.
And do you really wanna play along with what the people who hate you want? Do you really wanna be a puppet on their strings, letting your often legitimate frustrations about individuals grow and ferment into bigotry? Are you gonna just... Let transphobes use you like that?
its kinda like trans rights 101 that cis women are generally treated better than trans men we have lost the plot i fear
I'm genuinely starting to think the people chatting shit about trans men are a goddamn Psyop.
Literally, the /pol/ board of 4chan was a fucking Psyop inspired with the help of a literal shadow pedophile billionaire who ran a blackmail ring.
The idea that they wouldn't be hiring people and botting sites to claim to be trans people going after other trans people.... I don't buy it. More than half of this shit is literally an actual trick by the elite.
I don't even have the greatest knowledge of queer history, and I know the absolute insanity of trying to denigrate and diminish the contributions towards a better life for all from *every* different kind of trans person. I'm not even 40.
If you're letting people trick you into having antagonistic feelings towards other trans people, you are falling into a trap of the Epstein Class.
Do not do what they want you to do.
"if a trans man wasn't trans he would be a cis man, not a cis woman" would be a hilarious take if it wasn't so stupidly common. There is literally no scenario where the specific egg and sperm that combined to create my genetic makeup could have created a male baby. My options are cis woman or transmasc. That's it. There is no way for a trans man to detransition (as in realize they are not trans, not the going back in the closet kind of detrans) into anything other than a cis woman. There is no way for a trans man to become a cis man. I cannot go back in time and experience the childhood that the cis boy version might have experienced because that hypothetical cis boy version of me cannot exist. He would be an entirely different child on the DNA level.
If *anything* were to change about how someone were raised, they literally wouldn't be the same person.
If "I" were born a cis woman, that person wouldn't be me, they would be a different person with nearly identical genes, because so much more of my life were different.
If "I" were born 50 years earlier, that person would not be me, they would be a different person with the same genes as me, with parents who had the same genes as mine but were different people.
The context we grow in is a part of us. People going "Oh, if you were born-" need to stop right there and shut the fuck up because they aren't saying anything worth the carbon dioxide it wastes to eject from their throat.
The direct links between:
Trans men being seen as "undesirable, unfuckable women" after transitioning
Trans men being the demographic of the LGBT community at highest risk of rape
Trans men being targets of forced detransition via corrective rape and forced pregnancy
People denying both that this increased risk of rape and forced detransition even exists, and instead attributing it to trans men being "TERFs in waiting"
People insisting that trans men being seen as unfuckable women and/or mentally ill girls protects them from systemic violence and therefore makes them less worthy of protection
would be funny if it wasn't fucking terrifying. When you deny the reality of transandrophobia- when you claim that trans men are lucky to "only" be seen as "ugly mentally ill girls"- you are enabling societal violence against trans men.
I don't know how to put this as a fully-formed thought, but my half-formed thought is that the phrase "Unrapeable" doesn't mean "These people so undesirable that an abuser would never choose to abuse them" it's a specific code for "You can abuse these people with impunity because nobody will believe what happened to them, because they are seen as so abject and inhuman." And pretty much even "You SHOULD abuse these people, because it will be easy."
"Tattoos are becoming unpopular", "piercings are unpopular again", "keep your hair natural never dye it again, it's the trend now" literally fuck off I know what y'all are doing
“no, trust me, bro. they’re really going out of style this time. i promise.”
Fashion is always at least partially political, and whenever conservatism is on the rise, there's a strong push by the gatekeepers of mainstream cultural spaces (Like TV, social media) to push a more conservative sort of style.
Of course we're hearing that tattoos are becoming unpopular. The media is genuflecting the far right and sucking they nuts from the back, they're *gonna* push "traditional" aesthetics.
Just roll your eyes and push back with your own style. Anyone telling you that you should stick to bland trends you don't vibe with should be outright ignored to their face, online or even in person.
If you say transmascs have male privilege/more privilege than cis women I am going to assume you've never went outside or met a transmasc person irl because that type of thinking is something you can only have if you're chronically online
People will be so mean to teenagers do you literally not remember what it was like to be sixteen. Every time I talk to a teenager I feel I should hold their hands and tell them I think they're one of the bravest people on the planet just for choosing to endure but I don't because I don't want to be creepy.
the worse climate disaster gets, the more you’ll see closet eugenicists start to advocate for letting people die. you need to be prepared to combat the ideology wherever you see it, because it’s only going to get worse and worse Read everything having to do with climate disaster critically. If the central argument underlying what’s being said is that the death of disabled and/or racialized people is inevitable, natural, or desirable– that’s a fascist.
they might be appear to be a garden variety republican or liberal or even a leftist at first, but know that if that argument is being made, their underlying ideology is one of supremacism, and given additional climate stress, they will become more blatant about it.
it’s been 6 years since I wrote this post, and as predicted, the eugenics movement has had enormous success since then.
since writing this, millions of people have died preventable deaths from a pandemic that much of the global north pretends doesn’t exist anymore.
access to healthcare is being revoked from increasing percentages of the population– removal of testing, accelerating vaccine prices, artificial shortages of medications (blamed on PWUD or disabled people’s “over-reliance”), insurance companies automating denials, increasing criminalization of health care concerning “sexed” traits and reproductive capacity (e.g. abortion, HRT, puberty blockers).
many places are beginning to criminalize wearing masks. doctors have even stopped wearing them. activists have even stopped wearing them.
anti-fatness is at its most blatant in years and most people have framed this acceleration of oppression as nothing more than a fashion cycle (“thin is back in!”), ableist slurs that had temporarily been deemed inappropriate by abled people are returning to common vernacular.
every climate disaster is quickly framed as people “deserving” it. every new pop science article that goes viral claims to have found the “cause” of the supposed phenomenon of the anonymous masses “degrading” their intelligence/IQ/cognitive abilities, and the solution presented is always Hard Work.
I need you all to pay attention to how this works.
