saw an absolutely hilarious animal crossing theory that i now 100% accept and it’s that in the animal crossing world, humans are going extinct, and so all the animals have locked you in an elaborate zoo enclosure and are trying to give you enrichment. and that’s why they give you infinite pointless tasks, hide money in trees and rocks, invented debt that doesnt matter etc. it’s why they always act so happy to see you even after you raze the entire island, relocate their houses twice, and always act so pleased about your choices no matter what. it’s all to keep their little endangered human healthy and enriched. and thinking of it this way has genuinely improved my experience of the game

cosmo wanda i wish everyone whos ever called a transfem "male socialized" or said a transfem has "male privilege" killed themselves really badly

[heedra]

fuck "girl lunch" fuck "girl math" a woman is a hairy animal who sweats and grunts and excretes and hungers and gets wrinkly and dies eventually. you have to love that.

[heedra]

ppl are tagging this post with things like 'ooh i want to meet a woman like this' or with specific characters which kind of misses the point i was trying to make. ALL WOMEN ARE LIKE THIS. IT STANDS IN CONTRAST TO NOTHING. WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND IT.

that one study that was talking about how the “gay voice” can be viewed as just what post-testosterone based puberty voices sound like when not trained into culturally masculine modes of inflection and intonation. I think that’s a great masculinity based example of the same phenomenon as discussed in my previous post. Like the reason speaking in that way is gender nonconforming is likely because it reveals the effort and practice that goes into “natural” adult masculinity. it draws attention to the fact that the narrow allowable masculinity is constructed and necessarily learned in order to be perfected.

[pensive-fabulist]

interesting flipside, feminine inflections are probably learned and constructed too. i have some feminine cis female coworkers who have very "boyish" voices who would probably read very masculine if their voices are deeper. i distinctly recall, as a teenager, realizing that the way i talked was different than my female classmates and starting to inflect more to "fit in". so the real default is probably a wide variation that gets shoved into these different boxes by a lot of pressure

The problem: a lot of people (especially, but not only, cis women) see us as guests in womanhood. Welcome guests sometimes, but guests nevertheless.

One which note, they even welcome us, "Welcome to being a woman" if we mention something typically associated with womanhood that often as not is not even remotely new to us.

Sometimes our name is on the guest list; sometimes it isn't. Sometimes they send enthusiastic invitations to womanhood, all ready to feminize the next potential egg in the line. Sometimes they feel we've overstayed our welcome in womanhood, and make that our problem.

a trans woman expressing love freely and openly to everyone in her life. a beautiful thing

[mousidy]

the damage done by the trans bathroom predator myth is impossible to overstate

to know that the myth permeates the space between you and everyone you meet, living in both of your minds whether either of you choose to believe it or not. it turns our love, our kindness, into a threat

performing indifference can become a kind of defense mechanism for us. a way of saying "hey, I have no interest in you, so you're safe from me"

even the smallest, most platonic acts of love or even kindness feel laced with the guilt of imagined violence

if a tgirl shows you love in any form, know that she's placing her trust in you

[wanhyutji]

Actually I DO think twelve year olds should get hrt. That’s the normal age to start puberty, so why does it have to be different for trans kids?

bat at a hornets nest here but i think at least part of the desire from transmascs who want to be seen as a “femboy” comes from viewing transfeminized subjects as essentially male in some way. ask yourself, “why do i feel validated when being referred to with terms specifically used to demean transfems? why must femininity as a man be packaged in this specific, demeaning way?” when your validation as a transmasc comes from being seen as trans in the ‘other direction’, then its a validation reliant upon the assumption that transfems are essentially male in a way that you aren’t.

i wanna say fuck you to anyone who shame disabled, chronically ill & neurodivergent people, especially homebound folks, for "spending too much time on their phone/on the internet/etc." when it's the only (Somewhat) accessible way for them to experience the world. many people don't get to get out much even if they want to because of their disabilities. shaming someone for trying to connect with the world, make friends and engage with hobbies in ways that are accessible to them is beyond cruel and unnecessary
