Making problems for myself

[tlirsgender]

As a principled feminist I'm often tempted to say shit like "are men capable of higher thought" but then I have to remember not to perpetuate gender essentialism and change it to "why do men choose not to think about anything"

Fun fact for anyone who does this, being a misogynistic man isn't funny just because you're trans or you think the idea of treating trans women like women is inherently funny, how funny do you think she finds your "ironic" misogyny when you punch down on the women that don't have cis privilege over you

[strawberry-crocodile]

also no one says it but the punchline of "trans inclusive misogyny" is almost always the implicit assumption that transfeminine people do not actually experience misogyny in our day-to-day life. thats why its considered humorous and acceptable to do, rather than just being. misogyny against women.

replaying FFV and hmmm ... pink with blue legs compared to a yellow "original" character

fair chance that Tropical Starwalker is a black chocobo reference, especially given the fact that the "Mambo" de Chocobo" plays when you ride the black chocobo (hence why Tropical Starwalker is "tropical")

funny coincidence if not

btw the US federal rule that will funding-denial-style effectively ban most trans healthcare and mandate funding recipients to discriminate against trans ppl will go into effect by October 1st, 2026

[nepenthean-sleep]

if this gets tied to medicare reimbursement, it will effectively mark the end of trans healthcare in the united states (hospitals and hospital groups will always pick medicare funding over any annoying or inconvenient policy/law). i can’t tell by the article whether or not it will be related to CMS/medicare reimbursement, though.

[meshugenist]

it is ALL federal funding. that includes medicare and medicaid. also like tbc it is not really bc hospitals and clinics are just cowardly or something (which is generally true); many of them existentially depend on federal funding and effectively have no choice but to implement these kinds of policies. this is why transphobic politicians have been laser focused on these kinds of policies, since they are both easier to pass and implement than legal bans and allow for extreme and collective extrajudicial punishment for violation

With the Galsei subtext approaching critical mass, is the Deltarune fandom ready to acknowledge that Kris probably wasn't "born non-binary"? I get it, I get the appeal of that fantasy, but Deltarune is a game with a lot to say about gender and Kris, as a non-binary teen in a pretty cisnormative place, is part of that.

Mancountry. The pizza deodorant. Watching your dad do bonding activities that are for "the pals" and "the boys" only. The way the weird route puts Kris into the role of Groom in an abusive partnership, bestowing a ring onto their childhood friend in a white dress.

It doesn't invalidate the character, or anyone else, to pick up that there are gendered expectations placed onto them - even if it's not explicitly said by another character, there's a spectre in the air around all of those things. And that spectre is coercive gendering!

(of course, there's plenty to be said about how people are averse to really acknowledging the existence of non-binary transfems, and how "humans are just born without gender" is kind of a copout from having a trans protagonist in a story that heavily touches on identity, gender and dreams)

After entering your dad's world, you find...

* Armour that doesn't fit you

* Commendations you neither want nor need

* Your transfem friend, forced into a closet.

What could Toby have meant?

[engineerofmyownmisery]

* Dearest December ...

I fuck with this

[im-mender]

post: I noticed that in act 1 there's a loaded gun mounted on the wall there. I bet by the end of act 2 it will have been fired

all the replies: you're a fucking idiot

*after act 2*

all the replies: how the fuck did you know that

[im-mender]

okay but we can't know for sure that the loud noise and bright flash offstage—which occurred after the character who was holding the gun exited the stage with it—was a gunshot, because we didn't get to directly see it

Found myself wanting to say that "consuming text is easy and passive, unlike video which requires active effort to watch" and then realized this is the opposite of what basically every other human being would say.

[piles-of-numbers]

Much easier to skim a text for relevant information than try to find a piece of information in a video

[yuridollification]

my biggest most perverse dream is to get clocked by another tgirl in public who then comes up to me and asks if we could be friends

[kyoukorpse]
