Yeah I'll kick the hornets nest: you should not be making egg jokes about strangers, especially to their face. These kinds of jokes are potentially damaging to closeted trans people, because you don't know someone's situation. Maybe they already know they're trans, but are in an unsafe situation. Maybe they just aren't ready to address it. Maybe they'll start doubting if they actually want to transition or they only think they want to because a bunch of people told them they do. And it's especially bad if, say, you're making a transfem egg joke to a trans man who isn't open about his transness, which could lead to serious dysphoria (and vice versa for trans women). Not to mention how terrible it is to do this to nonbinary people. Do not joke about a nonbinary person being a binary trans egg, it's extremely disrespectful and transphobic to do so. And it's hard not to notice how implying someone is an egg only extends towards binary genders. Imagine someone is doubting their gender, and everyone is telling them they're obviously a trans man egg. They might end up forcing themself into that binary because they think that's what everyone wants.

All of this isn't to say you can't kindly and respectfully say "the things you've been saying sound very similar to the trans experience, I think it's possible you may be trans, but ofc it's up to you to decide whether or not to look into it". I very much encourage that, especially if the person is your friend and seems to be struggling. The thing that's really bad is making jokes at the possible closeted trans person's expense, or thinking of "cracking an egg" as something to brag about and not something to help someone through because you care about them

[fvckw4d]

The thing about egg jokes is its like going "i know youre fucking gay." When you do it to your friend who thinks its really funny, its fine. When you do it to a stranger on the bus or a friend who has asked you to stop, its just homophobic harassment. It doesnt matter if you actually thought they were gay and were "trying to help them come out." And thats what you look like when you message random people online trying to crack their egg. Some stranger on the bus who comes up to you and calls you a queer.

[hemipenal-system]

you’re going to start liking redneck lesbians immediately. you are going to give me lesbian (and otherwise queer) rep that isn’t rich white idiots at prep schools and shit

[hemipenal-system]

​reblogging this again because some idiot said i was making up a guy to get mad at and i promise im not. the way white queer suburbanites talk about people from Appalachia and the Deep South is fucking vile. i know im not making up a guy because i’ve interacted with about seventy of this guy

[hemipenal-system]

they dont even know hick and redneck have different connotations lmao

[tboy-cock]

its really fucking weird that whenever i talk about fat liberation and positivity people will weaponize the existence of restrictive eating disorders to argue that hating fat people is ok actually and that they (skinny people with restrictive eating disorders) should "be allowed" to talk about how much they hate fat people and fat bodies and body shame fat people, not even considering that i might also have a restrictive eating disorder and that comments like these might make me want to relapse into self starvation, because im fat and people dont think that fat people can have restrictive eating disorders. or maybe they think that a fat person having a restrictive eating disorder is a good thing because if they starve themselves enough they might become skinny. idk

[fatphobiabusters]

I'm going to scream this forever and ever until this world actually listens:

There are more fat people with anorexia than thin people with anorexia.

There are more fat people with anorexia than thin people with anorexia.

And yet fat people get classified as "atypical anorexia" despite having the exact same eating disorder as thin anorexics. Not only are we segregated from thin people who apparently actually deserve support, unlike us Fatties who should keep going, but the word used to separate us is "atypical."

Again:

THERE ARE MORE FAT PEOPLE WITH ANOREXIA THAN THIN PEOPLE WITH ANOREXIA.

The only reason why we're separated from thin anorexics and labeled as "atypical" is because of oppression as clear as day. Fuck the fatphobic bigots who wrote the DSM. Do you know what it's like to have your thin therapist apologize to you as she diagnoses you with the segregated version of your fucking eating disorder?

[fieryfoxboy]

Genuinely what the fuck does this even mean. I’m at a loss for words at this point. Just. What?

[luminarycamille]

Probably this, which is most of the boys on this site tbh

[that-grassbro]

There is literally no explanation of this image that isn't transphobic as FUCK.

Either the message is that being a trans man is something white people impose on global southern and/or from-muslim-communities children, implying that these children cannot organically just be trans and that being trans is a white thing

or

the message is that white trans allies forcing other trans people to acknowledge the existence of trans people from global southern and/or from muslim communites is wrong and inherently nefarious.

Either way this is extremely transphobic and racist.

[luminarycamille]

The message is pretty simple, which is that cissexuals often point to people who can’t transition as being the same as themselves, someone who just doesn’t want to

[that-grassbro]

Oh you're transmed. Given the depiction of the '13 year old hijabi', im still assuming theres some latent racism involved but I guess slightly less blatant.

Still transphobic and racist.

[luminarycamille]

No I’m not transmed I don’t think doctors should be able to gatekeep who gets to transition, I’m very pro informed consent and DIY. Also not racist! Very weird to put words in my mouth bc you want me to be racist lmfao

[selene1311-n]

Hey dumbass, not being transmed also means you have to accept people that DON'T do things like go on HRT.

Also you can't just say you're not racist, that's not how this works.

[fagdyke-fckry]

“I’m not a transmed”

Calls people cissexuals

Brings out art indistinguishable from the truscum trender-strawman

“I’m not racist”

Ignores the trans man of color from the global south pointing out how you’re being racist

Okay.

[luminarycamille]

Mkay I’ll bite, how was what I said racist?

[fagdyke-fckry]

Why do you need a white person to explain how this was racist instead of scrolling back up and reading it from the POC who already said it?

The idea that it is wrong to bring up transmascs from the global south when talking about transmasc oppression is racist. Using a depiction of a 13 year old hijabi as a prop in exorsexist/transphobic art is racist. He literally already said that.

My entire point was that you weren’t listening to him, and you’re STILL not listening to him, you’re talking to the white guy who was trying to uplift his voice, instead.

[luminarycamille]

Damn my bad I mixed up the people all yelling at me, I’ll go talk to him instead

[selene1311-n]

Or, hear me out, leave him the fuck alone cause it was already explained really well by him, and you're a bigoted asshole that won't take shit he says seriously.

[luminarycamille]

He didn’t explain how it was racist, he just asserted that it was.

[selene1311-n]

I found this to be a pretty damn complete explanation; are you seriously gonna try to gaslight people on the same fucking thread?!

[luminarycamille]

That’s just his misinterpretation of a very clear message from the comic? Like obviously that’s not what the artist was trying to convey

[selene1311-n]

It is not a misinterpretation, you're just racist and don't understand the concept that caricaturization like this is unacceptable.

[luminarycamille]

It is a misinterpretation, you’re just lashing out from male fragility to racistjacket a trans woman and think this is a caricature when it’s not caricaturizing anyone.

[selene1311-n]

... I'm on estrogen, have had bottom surgery, and identified as transfem until recently you fucking asshat

also it isn't racistjacketing; you were told that you were being racist by a POC blog, and you have doubled down, you're literally just racist.

[luminarycamille]

Oh pardon me ma’am, why didn’t you tell me sooner? And it is racistjacketing, the fact that the person who accused me of being racist is a POC doesnt automatically make them correct.

[illegal-dyke]

racist-jacketing has to be one of the dumbest words ever invented. Just say 'someone calling me racist'. poc saying you're being racist on a blog post is not a form of oppression.

[yourfriendlyfayeking]

This shouldn't need to be said but I know some of you are fucking stupid so I'm going to spell it out:

Anyone who uses the "pro transmisogyny" tag is a fucking troll who should not be taken seriously at all. They are purely trying to start more shit and are the exact same as people using the "kill all tmes" tag.

Block them and move on. If you want to talk about how what they're saying is harmful crop out their usernames. This isn't for their protection, it's because attention is what they want.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Car-centric infrastructure pisses me off but it also pisses off car owners and they don’t even realize it.

Do you hate traffic? Yeah. It’s because of all the cars.

Do you hate noise? Yeah. It’s because of all the cars.

Do you hate so many people under the age of 30 dying? Yeah. It’s because of all the cars.

Do you hate lung and heart diseases? Yeah. It’s because of all the cars.

[acerby]

HOW I WAS BORN!

[unthrifty--loveliness-deactivat]

Just so we’re clear, if I point out that you did something racist, that’s not the same as me thinking you’re irremediably terrible. You did a racist thing.

[unthrifty--loveliness-deactivat]

You think you don’t do racist things, homophobic things, etc? You do. I caught myself in fat phobic and homophobic lines of thinking/speech just this morning. I’m fucking gay married. Nothing disqualifies you from acting in a way that reflects the society you exist in. We are obliged to fight it. Why not fight it in honesty and with camaraderie?

[rock-kandyshark]

[fliesinthescreen]

mom called me a fag yesterday by accident

[fliesinthescreen]

she was going to call me a bitch (playful) and i saw her gears turning like no but he's trans i need to call him the male equivalent. and then say fag and look so so surprised at the word that came out of her own mouth. it was like watching someone fail a disco elysium skill check irl

[fliesinthescreen]

AUTHORITY - One of your sons is being annoying to the other. Make it clear that you think this is unfair.

YOU - "Stop being a b--"

REACTION SPEED [Challenging: Success] - Wait a minute.

DRAMA - Sire, the word you're about to use is historically feminine! Applying it to your transgender child is tantamount to misgendering him.

1. [Suggestion - Legendary 14] Think of a masculine equivalent to "bitch."

[tatdritt]

“Tme’s” chose labels for fun” ???? okay first. They’re totally talking about cis men and cis women totallyyyy totallyyyyyy tme totally isn’t just a word for trans men

second of all. Not a fan of the implication that trans men (and supposedly other afab trans ppl, but I doubt she considered that) do not experience dysphoria? The implication that anyone born with a pussy chooses to be trans?? Jesus Christ just say you don’t actually see trans men as really trans or respect their identity at all and just see them as confused girls who are abusing their pussy Privilege against the only “real” trans people…

[theterminalskeptic]

So many posts about trans men can be boiled down to "well you transitioned to be a man so you deserve to be treated like shit and revoke all rights to speak out about your oppression" and yet many are so ridiculously unaware of it, wow!

[what-even-is-thiss]

I don’t get why min-maxing mindset language learners are so concerned about beginners learning “useless” vocabulary. That’s the fun stuff.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Also what if someone’s language goals are wizard related? How are we supposed to seduce non English speaking wizards if we don’t learn the magic jargon?

[what-even-is-thiss]

A lot of these people are also the type to focus in on the top 1,000 words list but those are also slightly useless sometimes.

One of those lists I’ve looked at for Spanish has puerto (port) on it and be honest how often do ports come up in your daily conversations?

Doesn’t mean that puerto is a useless word to learn early on. It just means that min-maxing language learning makes people lose perspective on the point of learning a language in the first place. Exchanging information about port wizards.

[snommelp]

tbf I don't think I've ever encountered a language min-maxxer, but it seems to me that prioritizing the top 1,000 words would lead to major difficulty in constructing coherent sentences

[rock-kandyshark]

All binder sites (at least for the US) are now having to put this disclaimer right before you enter the site

The amount of trans youth that are going to be denied a possibly life saving item because of (what I assume) discriminatory laws being passed. It deeply saddens me

[girlboyburger]

past its bedtime

[girlboyburger]

ok so i forgot the glasses so pretend like they're on the first image too okay

[argentsunshine]

well you know what they say. when you've invested billions of dollars into hammers every problem looks like a nail and you keep handing these hammers to your users and they go "i don't really think i needed this hammer" and "but i don't have any nails that need hammering in right now" and "this is not a nail this is a glass vase that will break if i hit it with a hammer" and "didn't you used to have, like, other tools avaliable that might be better suited to this job" and you tell them to suck it up because you've replaced all your screwdrivers and wrenches and box cutters and crates and ladders and paint with hammers because your shareholders need to see an increase in value from your hammer investments

[lastoneout]

I knew this already but the post really puts into perspective how much of the misery and suffering the average person goes through is solely in service of helping some guy who's bad with money not face the consequences of being bad with money.

Like if I gambled my life savings at a casino and lost it all people would think I was being ridiculous if I suggested that everyone else should completely restructure their lives and society as a whole so I can get my money back, but when John Trust Fund over here loses money on gambling with the stock market we all are.immediately expected or even forced to restructure our lives and society completely to make sure he gets that money back. For some reason.

Capitalism is such a joke.
