happy to report that sitting around playing really bad shitty aliceband covers on guitar actually improves your mental health somehow instead of demolishing it like one would expect
I'm just going to say it - body hair (and beauty standards in general) is truly one of the final frontiers of women's issues in the West. Too many women just love their gilded cage too much. It shocks me how virulently women will defend it. I barely open my mouth and the "well I like how it feels. it just makes me feel cleaner. sensory issues. I do it for me. feminism is about choosing (to conform)." brigade come rushing in by the dozens.
Well I don't like how it feels. I don't feel cleaner without body hair. I don't prefer not having body hair. But who will advocate for women like me, but me? For women who do like hair removal, they are advocated for every time they step out of the house and see 99% of the female population also conforming to that standard, or when they watch a movie and see all the shaved actresses, or view an advertisment, or open a magazine, or watch a music video, or scroll through social media, or walk down the streets without receiving insults and glares for having a completely normal bodily feature.
You genuinely can't even point out that hairlessness is a man-made standard without women losing their shit and acting like they are totally immune to propaganda they've been exposed to from birth. I'm so tired.
just woke up from a dream in which “having a two year old alter” was such a common identity facet among the general public that you could buy like mugs and gift bags etc related to this at any walmart or target
ive stopped instinctively being nice to men out of frightened politeness. immediate shift in the way they treat me. obviously threatened. trying to take me down a notch, but they can't, because i anticipated this. navigating adult men with the delicacy of a bomb defusal all whilst trying to survive the workplace feels like getting your foreskin peeled off. i so desperately wish to see harm come to this witless apes
a lot of people seem to have this idea that true feminism will also uplift and benefit men. but because men benefit from patriarchy in so many areas of life, tangible feminist change will inevitably cause them to have less power. everyone needs to accept this. if you can accept that men have more power than they should, you can accept that in a better world, they'll have less of that power. which means, yes, their lives will be harder, because over half the world will be on an even playing field with them. and this is okay. men will be less likely to be hired because women will be more likely. men will not automatically win arguments against women. promotions will be given to men less and women more. men will not have the advantage of wealth over women. this is okay.
from the perspectives of men, yeah, these are all detriments. which is what makes people so eager to sanitize feminism, to imagine a way to uplift women without negatively impacting men at all because god forbid. and many women want to sympathize with that. but you have to acknowledge that the empowerment of women will make life more difficult for men. this is an inevitability and it's okay.
i swear to god it's like a toddler with a box of fifty crayons and someone with no crayons is asking to share. and all the toddler can think about is "but that would mean i have less crayons! that's bad!" except in this case, that toddler actually STOLE twenty five of those crayons.
bringing this back because it's pride month and people are saying i'm trying to "divide the community." motherfucker everyone in the queer and trans communities shit on transfems all the time and you want me to act like there isn't already a division? no one gets to pretend like everything's okay when the people who are supposed to be our allies are transmisogynists. everyone is already biased against us. do you know how sickening it is to see random people in my fucking community so easily and readily go along with any accusation against transfems, no matter how absurd or unsubstantiated? do you know how sickening it is that the people i'm supposed to lean on are the ones painting us as predators and monsters and threats for no other reason than "the vibes were off"?
i'll stop being biased for transfems when there's no longer a need. i'll stop when people actually treat us like people and not some fucking underclass they unfortunately have to include. hell, it would be a leap forward for aspiring allies to even so much as acknowledge that we're treated this way, instead of living in a fantasy that we're doing just as well or unwell as anyone else. so long as the status quo continues, the community is already divided. try working with us instead of pretending we're making shit up if you want me to stop being a bitch about it.
it's so easy to backslide into the mindset that i'm immune to causing harm. i have to consistently challenge that idea whenever i can or i'll end up back in that state again. i've done it before and i'll do it again, and i refuse to beat myself up about it because if anything that leads to an increased likelihood that i'll relapse again. all that matters is that i'm thinking about it again and i'm trying to do better.
also on some level you just have to make peace with it. it's impossible not to step on some toes just by existing, let alone trying to express yourself honestly and make connections. sorry i'm trying to make this post ocd-proof i don't want anyone to spiral over this. people with ocd, you have it worse than anyone else trying to balance this and you deserve infinite grace.
watching the new game changer and i honestly really appreciate seeing anna physically attack people every time they call her out on a rule. when casey is fronting he's always barely restraining himself from doing this exact shit so he's like clapping and cheering on the sidelines. it's very cathartic for him
Something that happens a lot in non-binary spaces is that a new member of the community will ask a tone-deaf transphobic question like "Hi, AFAB here, I was wondering if any other AFAB NBs had advice about swimsuits? My AFAB chest means I can't wear swimsuits for AMABs," and an established community member will have to gently explain that not only are we are a community of people who often change their bodies to a degree that certificated sex becomes a useless way to describe anatomy, but we are also a community of people who often join the community explicitly to get away from our birth sex assignment, and so referring to people that way can be really offensive.
And no matter how gently this is pointed out, the newbie will often initially feel instinctively defensive towards what they perceive as scolding. Which means that when another community member comes along and says "Don't worry about the language police 🙄, many of us think AGAB language is fine, it's a useful way to refer to the kind of formative experiences you had as a child," the newbie will latch on to them like a life raft.
And yes, we live in a transphobic society, a lot of people coming into the trans community will have uninterrogated transphobic views, but that just makes them more vulnerable when there is always someone in the community willing to tell them "no, your transphobic views are fine actually, and in fact here are some more you might not have thought of!"
It means a sizeable chunk of newly-out NBs are swiftly radicalised into increasingly extreme transphobia and transmisogyny simply as a defense mechanism against having their own comments criticised. One day they're just happy to join a community where people supposedly don't judge you on your birth sex, and the next they're talking about the importance of "AGAB socialisation".
It's a really big problem and I don't know what we can do about it.
two birds were fucking on the porch. i watched them go at it for a bit. went to grab the phone to video it (so i could blackmail them) but the girl one flew off and left his ass before i got the camera app open. lmfaoooooo the dick was notttt impressive huh. i'm aware it's a cloaca don't @ me
