this must be such a delicate experience for a creature that can dive two stories deep and has been seen cliff diving into the ocean

Such a quiet and gentle experience for a megafauna cryptid that can headbutt a speeding truck and walk away It’s like seeing Godzilla in a kiddie pool

[thistlewhistler]

During a summer heat wave in Alaska growing up (yes it’s a thing), my dad had several sprinklers and a tractor sprinkler going in the yard. From the woods behind the house suddenly came two young babies and a very large mother.

They came directly towards the tractor sprinkler and sat right down.

My dad verrrrry slowly pulled the hose of the other sprinklers, and repositioned them in the backyard so they would spray grass under the shade of several trees.

Lo and behold, the mother moose got up, walked over to the water now pooling beside these trees, and plomped down. The two babies followed after and just fell over in the cool water.

TME = cis men, cis women, trans men, transmasculine nonbinary people.

TMA = trans women, transfeminine nonbinary people.

Both categories include women and nonbinary people

Both categories include people with penises, and people with vaginas, and people with ambiguous genitals.

Both categories include intersex people.

TME includes cis and trans men.

Anyone claiming this is a binary is being disingenuous or willfully ignorant, which is honestly the same thing.

This one's too good to leave in the notes:

[kayla-denker]

This isn't an identity. Its a shorthand way of referring to who is subjected to transmisogyny and who is not. It's not something we are imposing on people, we're describing how this transmisogynistic society is imposing or nit imposing transmisogyny on people. It doesn't care if you don't identify with fem or masc, it only cares about what you were compulsarily assigned at birth. People who aren't transitioning away from being compulsorily assigned "male" at birth are simply not subject to transmisogyny by this society. If they are trans, they're still subjected to transphobia, but not transmisogyny.

[msh2o2]

The TMA/TME divide amongst enbies describes predominantly how two people, despite neither being femme or masc, are treated completely differently based on their assigned gender at birth.

Enbies who are TMA literally cannot attend the same events that enbies who are TME can, even if their presentation is functionally identical. They are banned in big bold letters on adverts, and if they're discovered, they get thrown out and called a rapist as the door slams shut behind them.

TMA enbies are never allowed to divorce themselves from their gender assignment in societies eyes, they're never allowed to "just" be enbies, take it from someone who presented as agender for many years. The only people who took that in good faith were one (1) TME and I was dating her. Everyone else treated me like an intruder while actively bending over backwards to accommodate TME enbies.

My introduction to transfeminism came when my coworkers who had been talking a big game of supporting "trans people" asked me after I came out to them "I know you said your pronouns are she/her, and your name is 'Kayla', but can I use they/them and call you 'Kay?' It's just more comfortable to me."

It came when my parents rejected me after my older sister outed me to them, but then accepted my trans brother with open arms.

It came when just a few weeks later a man in Stevensville Montana threw rocks at me while screaming bible verses.

I didn't learn about transmisogyny from Whipping Girl, I learned about it before I knew its name. I learned about it by being transmisogynized.

fuck i just remembered how funny my two headed coil post was but theres no way for me to find it cause that blog got nuked

the way some people treat sex tourism as a joke about losers desperate for sex will never sit right with me

some of the most gruesome sex crimes cases you'll come across are the result of sex tourists, the level of dehumanization involved is not unlike that of a serial killer

"civilians" in white countries: ex-military, military contractors, weapons manufacturers, fascist vigilantes, active duty military

"legitimate targets" in nonwhite countries: children in elementary school

[bebsi-cola]

abelds have this funky ability where they hear disabled people say they "can't" do something and instead of hearing "can't" as in, cannot, they hear "i can if i push myself and i just don't wanna". which is really interesting!

[bebsi-cola]

people in my notes mentioning that people don't respect the fact that they can't do certain things without heavy consequences and ableds want us to beat those consequences for their convenience. and that's true but i do mean that people who say that they can't do something need to be taken at face value that it's just not possible to do at all. i want people to respect the literal meaning of "i cant'" because it's often dangerous otherwise. like people will straight up put a disabled person into situations that are harmful or incredibly dangerous for them being they assume "can't" means "i can a little bit". and when that thing is "I can't eat [allergen]" or "i can't walk at all" and you get stuck with food contaminants or at the top of a half flight of stairs they assumed wouldn't be a problem then that can actively, seriously, literally be harmful and dangerous

[milf--adjacent]

I have lots of strange food allergies and people often make it their quest to exclude me from dinners and such by serving dishes made primarily with things that poison me even after knowing me and my condition for *years*. Just last week, my mom contaminated an entire tray of veggies by placing her pineapple skewers on top so like I just didn't get to eat any bbq veggie skewers because 80% were soaked in allergen juice.... And she knows! She was the first person to make a list of my allergens to give to teachers and shit!

About a decade ago, I worked in a daycare/Montessori school that has an explictily stated nut-free policy specifically to protect medically vulnerable children from peanut and tree nut exposure. One vegan mother insisted that her child be served dairy free milk. Okay. Fine. Bring in some oat milk, right? Wrong! What does she provide? An almond/coconut/walnut blend that then is splashed around the kitchen and refrigerator of an explicitly stated nut-free facility, which your tree nut allergy-having narrator discovered by getting stinging, burning welts up her right side while trying to repair a fridge. And *I* got in trouble for pitching that allergen in the dumpster. My boss threatened to fire me over enforcing the no nut policy. The mother chewed me out for "wasting [her] money" too!

When I say people are ableist by default, I mean it in every way you can conceive and worse.

"let's talk exclusively about crimes in which the suspect is black" was literally what bill o'reilly was doing on fox news when i was in elementary school 20+ years ago, and it was as tired and obvious then as it was back when the nazis were doing it about jews in the 30s, and now trans-men's-rights activists on tumblr are announcing "hey, anyone who would like to describe real or imagined sex crimes exclusively by trans women please form a line for the hate megaphone" like they think they just came up with something new

[estrogenesis-vaporeongelion]

aw, you poor little guy, did the "women YOU'RE allowed to abuse" start talking to each other? you had to put them back in their place? eat shit & die
