if the idea of forcefem is dysphoria inducing, then stop searching the forcefem tag and looking at the forcefem blogs. just block and move on. sending hate mobs because you have a personal ick against something is absolutely clown behavior. and also a strategy straight from the lolcow/kiwifarm playbook

[paperflorets]

same kind of guy

[moshroom]

he had to jump in the ballpit to cool off after getting all airplane ears over a treat puzzle that proved a little too advanced

[moshroom]

he's done this a few times now. the ball pit actively soothes him when he gets mad over puzzles. i could learn something from this

You read Wretched of the Earth and how the colonizer has PTSD from torturing the colonized and the former has a panic attack upon seeing a former victim while the latter desperately tries to kill himself to avoid recapture and I think it's right to ask: Am I really supposed to pity the former?

[Speaking slowly, gently, as though trying not to scare a startled horse] Now. Consider. The US military

[parkchanwoohoo]

To be clear I am not saying Fanon is attempting to elicit sympathy for the colonizer. I mean "Am I supposed to feel sorry for them" in an aghast way because the colonizer, who is suffering, feels he deserves sympathy. You see it again and again, all throughout history, and even now people complain about how traumatized they are from murdering civilians. How even in the end, in their eyes, the true victim is the perpetrator who lives rather than the dead person who is "at peace." As though any number of extenuating personal circumstances is supposed to make your guilt weigh more than the actual harms other people have experienced at your hands. As though people overseas wouldn't also like to go to college, would like to afford a house, would like to escape poverty. It's infuriating!

You ask the average American their views on the us military and they quickly explain in intricate detail how they don't think global southerners are real people

‘beyond the scope of this paper’ is a dear friend to me. I Am Not Fucking Talking About That

coworker today was talking about how she tries to drive less to reduce her carbon footprint, so instead of ordering takeout she orders delivery. when I pointed out that this actually results in the exact same amount of emissions because the same amount of driving happens she said "yeah but it's not me driving." and I feel like any critique of progressive individualism I could make based on this would fall flat because like. what else is there to say? she summed up the flaws of individualist environmentalism better than most critics could, without intending to.

[unconventiononthelawofthesea]

okay well given the number of tags that seem to think the problem is how she's calculating her personal carbon footprint and not the idea of a "personal carbon footprint" maybe I should have elaborated some

we used to make rage comics about how spoons will spray you with water if you wash them at the wrong angle. not anymore. now we just suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer

like it's just such an immense privilege to think that the primary victims of the "people treat nonbinary like it means cis woman lite" thing are cafab nonbinary people being lightly misgendered rather than, like, the camab nonbinary people shut out from gender exploration and nonbinary identity and self actualization and this conversation itself, not just by cis people but also by the very same cafab nonbinary people who criticize this thinking only so far as it extends to their own personal experience and benefit. not all nonbinary people are treated as "woman lite" and as much as it sucks to be patronized in this way, it's just very plainly a better position than to be treated as a predator in waiting by those supposedly "in community" with you

sometimes I wanna be a girl but like

it’s so fleeting and it only lasts a few minutes so eh

[molsno]

sometimes I’ll find a post like this from 2014 when we were 16 and clearly in a lot of pain. it had 0 notes. nobody even acknowledged it. we were so miserable. there were multiple times we cried ourselves to sleep thinking about how we were growing up into a man. and all we could do was push it down, dissociate from it, and try to pretend it wasn’t there so we could live a normal life. no one ever told us we could just try being a girl. every time we tried, we were discouraged through an endless onslaught of transmisogyny that still haunts us to this day

if even one person back then had told us we could just try being a girl, we could have come out up to 5 years earlier, and saved ourselves from another 5 years of living with crushing dysphoria. whenever I see someone reinforce the “egg prime directive” and tell people not to push others to be trans, it reads to me as all of the people who turned a blind eye to how miserable we were pretending to be a boy. it’s functionally no different from everyone who called us a faggot and tormented us with trap shock videos to reinforce how disgusted we should be by the sight of a woman with a penis. I would rather 4 billion cis men be pressured into taking estrogen they don’t want than even one trans woman be forced to live with dysphoria for a single day

Hm i wonder why i feel so disconnected? *watches from afar* *watches from afar* *watches from afar* *watches from afar* *watches from afa

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

you can tell i'm feeling down rn because i'm not even excited for 9/11 this year. it's like all of the magic has gone out of the holiday

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

what we really need this year to bring the magic back is a good old-fashioned 9/11 miracle
