"that historical figure COULDN'T have been transmasculine, she clearly identified as a woman!!" women can be transmasc.

"that historical figure COULDN'T have been transfeminine, he clearly identified as a man!!" men can be transfem.

"that historical figure COULDN'T have been nonbinary, he/she clearly identified as a man/woman!!" men and women can be nonbinary.

"transgender" as a term was meant to create solidarity between all kinds of people harmed by cissexism because they deviated from "normal" "appropriate" performances of gender and gender identity. it is frankly kind of heinous that, for sake of making transness palatable to cis people and assimilation-ready, the inherent diversity and anti-categorization of our community was sanded away. there are so many people (dead and living) that we aren't "allowed" to consider part of our community, or who don't feel they are "allowed" to be part of our community, purely because people can't imagine transness is slightly more complicated than Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus: Part II

yep, pretty much

[elliegoose]

the idea that women are "more allowed" to express emotions than men under patriarchy honestly seems like a lie that serves patriarchy itself.

women are constantly pressured to dissociate from the way our circumstances negatively impact us, and we are straight up not permitted more emotional expression in any meaningful way that is received well in patriarchal relations. in reality, we are marked as "more emotional" and therefore taken less seriously than men.

nobody under patriarchy is allowed a healthy and full expression of their emotions, but framing emotional expression as an advantage that women have is bizarre.

i have never felt "not queer" i never had a full awakening or a realization i wasn't straight or cis, even as a toddler i was called a tomboy and felt different from my girl classmates. i always wanted to dress more masculine, i always felt attraction to girls more, i don't think i ever had to come out to myself, only ever others you are not less queer if you didn't feel this. you are not less queer if it's taken you 30, 40, 50, 60,70+ years to figure this out or "feel it"

everyone deserves to be who they are.

“be gay do crime! but sex is yucky and crime is wrong!” ass website

[cheaphalloweencostume]

okay, we managed to get through the “you can be gay and not have sex” part, and im feeling charitable and i wanna talk about the “do crime” part

so many responses of “its nice that you’re privileged enough to be able to steal from Target willy nilly!” and that’s not at all what this is about. like, yeah, shoplifting and loitering and graffiti and breaking the rules is, obviously, part of “do crime”. but they’re not parts you have to do.

would you help someone get an abortion where it was illegal?

would you help a trans friend get healthcare that had been criminalized?

would you shelter someone fleeing persecution, even if the law said not to?

would you help a gay couple stay together when the state decided their relationship was unlawful?

instead, would you report someone else for breaking the law? will you snitch on your hungry neighbors for stealing food? on your homeless neighbors for sleeping where they’re able?

would you break laws to protect someone you love? a community you love? yourself?

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

The only way forward is to stop treating masculinity as synonymous with harmful, monstrous, or dangerous.

[apollosfallen]

There is a fundamental difference between "men are dangerous" (wrong, bioessentialist) and "the patriarchy allows dangerous men to exist unchecked" (true).

[boeing747]

nothing in the world is mundane someone spent years of their life studying and thinking about culverts and building upon the countless work of others and our historical collected knowledge of fluid dynamics and construction materials just so that your shit doesn't get flooded all the time and you dont even think about it! have you ever considered the culvert really? and its like. fucking everything is like this

I've probably watched too much Leverage, because a man in campus cop uniform came in to ask questions about our box office safe today and my boss let him in and gave him all the info he wanted, no questions asked, and all I could think is that we are horrifically easy to con

[sapphosewrites]

Yes, guy with a toolbelt who says he's the plumber here to fix our known leak, please have unrestricted access to our basement directly below the box office.

If this were Leverage he would be drilling through the floor right now

[kajaono]

Maybe he is? Have you checked?

[sapphosewrites]

No, although I did check the organizational ID of the British woman who came in to do a last minute film shoot on the second floor, bringing with her an equipment cart large enough to hide a person in.

[sapphosewrites]

So it turns out that there is, indeed, money missing from the safe.

[tangerinebonfire]

This is called "social engineering" and most tech companies have mandatory training to prevent this exact scenario.

Humans have to be trained to be skeptical about the impression of authority or urgency from a stranger (or possibly spoofed email/text/ AI-gen video call) because it's so natural to trust other people. It's a shame we don't teach this more broadly in schools and other industries, because it's the same tactic scammers use against regular people.
