I just want to get dicked down again =/

[autosadist]

everyone's so desperate for theyfab to be a slur that they won't call themselves cuntboys with me. it makes them uncomfortable, they explain, or its connotations are too sexual,

[autosadist]

come play cuntboy with me or whatever

[autosadist]

hello little transmasc..."femboy" is not for you, but i have an alternative to propose - oh? "cuntboy" makes you uncomfortable? it's a word primarily used to objectify and put down people like you? it would really suck if there were other words like that, maybe words you like calling yourself that are primarily used to objectify and put down a different group of people,

Whats for dinner oh spider jelly what a surprise

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

[asneakyfox]

btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.

they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.

Today at work a couple of apprentices were rotating rows of solar panels and unwittingly turned one row directly into a couple of metal posts that had been driven into the ground, shattering two panels.

And on the one hand I feel really bad for them, because they were clearly really upset and they kept apologizing even though it wasn't really their fault. (Who the fuck puts metal posts underneath a rotating solar panel?!)

On the other hand, I kind of can't stop laughing. They were so distraught! God, what must have gone through their minds when they heard the first crunch. This is SUCH a classic apprentice scenario, everyone in the trades has been there. Congrats on your rite of passage kiddos, you're gonna be telling this story to your apprentices one day

POV: You're about to have a really unfortunate conversation with your foreman

[barbarajreadytoplay]

Listening to the radio while they report on the SCOTUS ruling yesterday that states can ban specifically trans girls and women from girls/womens sports programs. The people they interview: a trans boy with his cis mother and a trans man. The trans man says one of the things that hampers progress is "no one talks to us." Idk man the radio station didn't talk to any trans women, they talked to you, a trans man. Seems like they are pretty willing to talk to you and not the people this ruling actually directly affects.

[3000s]

its just crazy to me how they keep flagging my shirtless pics like yeah i'm fat but this isn't even a fetish pic this is just what my body looks like

[3000s]

it isn't surprising because they're doing worse to transfems 24/7 but also why don't fully nude cock-out cis guys ever get flagged hmmmm

[doyoulovethewayzeylily]

here on the queerest site on the internet, the regular ToS says nudity is fine but the shadow ToS says you can only be naked if you're cis

[rambrandt-the-painter]

more of her

[doyoulovethewayzeylily]

let's do uhhhhh show and tell saturday. can you please show me something interesting and tell me about it? bonus points awarded if it's something you made yourself, I wanna see the things your hands create

[vore-ida]

this is Pearl, she's a little ROV I (along with some family members) made to swim around a pool and pick things up. she's a little tricky to drive right now, but i'm working on adding an imu and closed loop attitude control to fix that.

[vore-ida]

I just remembered I have this shot of her preparing for the robot uprising

also, her ducky

I'm eternally grateful that polyamorists have created or popularized a lot of terms to describe common experiences such as feeling joy at seeing your partner happy in another relationship (compersion), societal pressure to follow a specific progression or series of milestones for a relationship to be considered Serious (the relationship escalator), and a partner of your partner (metamour).

But I think that, much like Therapy Speak and its cutesy friends neurospicy and neurosparkly, words that might be useful for describing your own life can become cliché annoying jargon when someone else starts applying them to your experiences for you.

anyway. this post brought to you by the acquaintance who asked if I was "fluid bonded to both my nesting partners." next time just ask who I'm fucking.

[hotboxlesbo]

sorry i have to get on my soapbox bc the term fluid bonding is so regressive & conservative i actually hate that it has gotten literally any traction

there is no inherent “bond” that is created between people from having unprotected sex

anyone who uses this term has got to stop saying that. PLEASE. for me 🥺

[draconym]

I agree and it especially rubs me the wrong way when it's used like a euphemism for "having sex." Just say sex. If you mean unprotected sex specifically then say unprotected sex.

[chick-it-out]

[sadgrrly02]

Okay

[butchdemiurge]

its awesome how many tme trans people have completely and utterly convinced themselves that due to them getting afab and having marginalized identities aside that they actually don’t need to do any research or read any theory or engage in any self critique or meaningfully question any of their thought patterns or kneejerk responses or
