“What if poor people abuse the system?”

The system intrinsically abuses poor people.

Hope this helps.

"What if poor people abuse the system?"

Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that

Ok first I need everyone to know that the owner posted another picture of Sebago and like. She could easily be a moose for Halloween.

You don't have a male or female brain – the more brains scientists study, the weaker the evidence for sex differences

Rather than distinctly male or female, the human brain is much more like the heart, kidneys and lungs – basically the same no matter the sex of the body it's in.

“This collapse is a telltale sign of a problem known as publication bias. Small, early studies which found a significant sex difference were likelier to get published than research finding no male-female brain difference.”

the notes on this are toxic - to help clear up any misunderstanding, here’s the actual science paper:

Dump the “dimorphism”: Comprehensive synthesis of human brain studies reveals few male-female differences beyond size

With the explosion of neuroimaging, differences between male and female brains have been exhaustively analyzed. Here we synthesize three dec

i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

"Lesbian solidarity" I have observed that unless they're the focus of porn mostly made with the cishet male gaze in mind, lesbians (Or other wlw, for that matter, but my focus today is on lesbians.) don't get a lot of visibility or representation. I do not care for that.

we need to bring back the phrase "what business is it of yours" in a big way i'm serious

[valtsv]

i know you can just say "none of your business" but phrasing it as a question with a jarringly formal tone is the ideal way to shoot an overfamiliar unwelcome overture dead in its tracks and force the person making it to confront the boundaries they're taking for granted + it would really piss people off which is funny

[valtsv]

&also it allows you to experience the joy of talking like an autistic vampire, which i highly recommend

Pride thoughts

In no particular order and with no goal to make a specific point, as usual. I just talk to talk and if anything resonates, by all means, let me hear your thoughts.

It gasts nobody's flabbers when I state that I'm queer, I'm sure. I used to not care for that word, as it has a history of being used as a slur, but somewhere in my mid thirties I was like "Might as well reclaim it.". I don't care if someone calls me a faggot either, if anything it gives me gender euphoria lol.

It was a long, exhausting ride from "Bisexual girl who wishes she was a bisexual boy instead but what can you do" to lesbian, to trans masc and then eventually I landed in my identity as binary trans man and eventually got the treatment needed to make the outside match the inside. I am at peace, happy and secure in this identity. My body feels like home now, and I can rest.

Sexual orientation wise, aegosexual is the term I've found most fitting. As it's summarised on Reddit: Aegosexual (Formerly known as autochorisexual.) is a micro-label under the asexual umbrella. It describes individuals who experience a disconnect between themselves and the target of sexual arousal. They may enjoy sexual fantasies, watch porn, or feel arousal, but they generally have little to no desire to engage in physical sexual acts themselves.

That's hitting the nail on the head. I am very sex positive, might even be considered a pervert by some, but the idea of being physical myself makes me want to curl up and hiss.

I can't tell if that's truly my orientation or lingering trauma from past experiences with sex though, and it doesn't really matter much because my partner is extremely understanding about it and that's all I care about.

Pride month and other LGBTQ+ events fill me with melancholia, more than anything. It's immensely important, of course. The fight for equal rights and acceptance mustn't stop. My heart goes out to those who can't live their lives as freely and somewhat peacefully as I can. There's no shortage of absolute bell ends on the cishet side of things trying to argue against our (And by "our" I am talking about trans people, because that's what applies to me and my life.) existence, but I am privileged enough to live in a country where I can be myself as long as I'm quiet about it. I shouldn't have to be, of course. It's just safer this way.

Trans men are just kind of…Invisible. And it's often assumed that because we benefit from freshly acquired male privilege, our problems end here. That's not quite how it works, but that is a rant I suddenly find myself not having the energy to get into.

Something I have rattling around in my head right now, though, is that in the most literal sense I am rather queerphobic. Queer and queerphobic, that is funny right there. And I am using "phobia" in the way it's defined in a dictionary, meaning "having an irrational fear of", not "feeling intense hatred towards", I want to make that part very clear.

Because the worst treatment I have been subjected to over the years has almost exclusively been from other queer people. Gay men either recoiling with disgust at the mere concept of men with vulvas, or viewing me as fetish material because I have an extra hole for dicks to go into, queer AFAB people calling me a traitor because I "chose" to join the enemy (And here I thought we had established a long time ago that gender identity and sexual/romantic orientation aren't things you choose.), other lesbians acting no better than cishet men towards me during that era because it's not sexual harassment when girls send other girls inappropriate DMs, that's silly! /sarc, other trans men becoming misogynistic dudebros to compensate for something, I guess…?

The community ain't safe either, is what I'm getting at. Every year it becomes abundantly clear that pride is for some, while others get silenced and erased. People under the rainbow umbrella turn against each other, arguing about who is or isn't queer enough, who's facing the worst oppression, who gets to wear what label etc etc and it's all just…Exhausting.

So yes, happy pride, I guess. I'm all for it, after all.

Grandpa's just tired, but that's nothing new.
