sometimes it occurs to me that while "get bottom surgery and then use a strapon" is an obvious course of action for many trans lesbians, a lot of cis people would be extremely confused by the suggestion that someone would do this.

I cant believe this tweet is how I find out
now all the things you guys have told me about american high schools are starting to make sense
holy shit.
You're not really supposed to say it this way, because its considered crass, but here in the US children are culturally and legally considered essentially the property of their parents.
Note that its considered more crass to point this out than it is to treat children as property in the first place.
I think that broadly much of the appeal of "non-human body parts" in fantasy is about displaying emotions.
Like, a lot of us who had traumatic childhoods had our emotional responses beaten out of us. Don't smile, don't raise your voice, don't cry, boys don't do that, don't bounce your knee, why are you doing that it makes you look weird, don't look away, stop doing that, don't make any noises, and stop moving your hands like that.
Gradually, you become a statue. Immaculate in your formlessness, the world unable to touch you. It's awful.
And, it's not like that goes away when you're out of the situation. Learning to emote again is work. Real work. And it's very hard to justify. On some level, hiding yourself so totally is a strength. It's not 'learning how to put on a mask', it's becoming one with the mask. It's useful, or at least you'll notice when it's useful. To emote again in the ways you lost means fighting through years of trauma.
But. You have to understand. Not emoting feels bad.
Have you ever felt really, really sad but been unable to cry? Denied of tears, you want to gouge your eyes out. The catharsis is gone. Your sadness feels less real for it. Inevitably, you seek other ways to reify your emotions.
It's like this for every emotion that was removed from you. All of them not just an absence but a void. A vacuum that demands more and more. Unstable equilibrium. You have to do something about it but the natural outlet is hidden behind the scariest thing in the world.
So, you fantasize. Wings, horns, tails, ears. You'd coil around her to express your desire. Your wings would flap out and show your pride or bend inward hiding you to show your embarrassment. Your horns would be sensitive the way none of your body could be. Your tail would wag or droop or lift. Here, we see a new language to express ourselves, one untainted by the past. Escapism.
And also it's gap moe when her ears react a ton while the rest of her is totally unresponsive, which is really cute.
If you hate Trans men because they're men it does not matter if you "hate all men". If you wouldn't hate us if we didn't transition you're a transphobe. If you hate us because of how we're transitioning you're a transphobe. You're just a transphobe. You're a transphobe. What you're doing is transphobia.
If you insult Trans men with misogynistic language you're a transphobe and misogynist. You would call a cis men a whiny cunt would you? Or a birthday boy? You're not actually "treating us as men" , you don't see us as men. You're just a misogynistic transphobe. You need to eat shit and die. It's pathetic and even more so when it comes from other trans people. How brainrotted can you be??
shoutout to all the autistic nonhumans who were treated as anything other than human growing up but as soon as they said they werenât human people suddenly switched up
Other: "Why are you acting like a girl?! Are you a girl? You shall as well become a girl! You freak!"
Me: *Comes out as trans*
Other: "You will never be a real girl, you're a manly boy, you freak"
Other: "Why are you acting so flamboyant, what are you, gay?! You freak!"
Me: *comes out as lesbian*
Other: "You're just a deranged straight male, you freak"
Other: "You can't control your emotion? Go see a psychiatrist you freak"
Me: *get professional help for my mental health, my suspected ASD and BPD*
Other: "You're a mentally unstable manipulator, you freak"
Other: "Why are you acting so weird? Are you even human?! You freak"
Me: *comes out as alterhuman*
Other: "You're a normal human, stop doing it for attention, you're sick, you freak"
I think they are just searching for excuses to call us freaks, now that I think about it
Bro absolutely COOKED with this.
If you ever hear the phrase "fascism is aesthetics as politics," that's what this post is talking about.
It's not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against "crime" as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.
It's about performing "tough on crime" as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent "crime." They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.
This is why a lot of conservatives and other right wingers can get straight up angry when you suggest things like reform or social measures to reduce crime. They don't want crime to be reduced, they want an eternal war against "crime" because it provides an arena for the righteous to demonstrate virtue by brutalizing their enemies.
Transfemmes are so reluctant to touch grass they've had to invent grass that touches them instead. And also carries them to the doctor. And also tops them because why fucking not.
the for you page thinks I'm a gnome
now, look, iâm not ever one to turn down Ambassador Project volunteers, but i do have to make sure you understand the ramifications of this choice for legal reasons. youâre sober?
good. youâre of sound mind and body and all that?
good. ok, now, you understand that this is permanent. if you decide you donât like it, you canât change your mind. you wonât have a human body anymore and even if we still had it the surgery to put you back is so dangerous that we donât do it. you understand all that? this isnât a movie. you canât just jump between them. you do this, thereâs no undoing it.
well, you still seem eager, so weâll take you. want to see her? follow me
this is her! we call her W-239, thatâs her batch number, but you can keep the same name you use now or you can pick a different one; itâs up to you. sheâs 35ish feet long from nose to tailtip and she weighs just shy of a thousand pounds
yeah, dragons are lighter than youâd expect from the size since they have to be able to get off the ground. oh, her wingspan is huge, thereabouts ninety feet! weâre not sure, her wings have never been open
no, she just has a vat-grown brainstub. all it does is keep her lungs and heart running and turn the iv nutrients we give her into dragon cells. sheâs barely even alive. your brain is what gives her all the personality.
oh, no, the surgery is really safe as long as we go this way. we just knock you out, pop your brain out, and splice it into her spinal cord so you can control her body. it sounds scary, but itâs really not. thereâs a reason your batch number starts with 200, weâve literally done it hundreds of times and never had a single failure. donât worry at all
yeah, youâre gonna get to be that. itâs pretty cool, isnât it?
ok, follow me. this part is somewhat embarrassing. we need you to strip down so we can take 360° scans of your human body. no, itâs a legal thing. if you ever decide you want to look human again for any reason, you can do some shapeshifting magic. dragons are good at that sort of thing. you wonât be human, but youâll be just about impossible to tell without DNA testing. anyway, we give you scans of your former body in your exit packet just in case, so you can look as close as you can to how you look now
arms up. arms out. arms to your sides. legs apart. bend forward. bend back. squat down? stand on your tiptoes? ok, nice, thatâs all of them.
ok, come lay down here! weâre gonna put this iv in you to deliver the anesthetic. youâre gonna feel a little pinch- good. you did it! ok, this is room-temperature, so itâs gonna feel cold in your arm as we push it. just try to relax and count backwards from ten with me, ok? when you wake up, youâll be in the new body!

ok her heart rate is stable. sheâs coming up; turn the lights down
hey. you awake? can you hear me? donât try to move your head, youâre still really drugged. iâm impressed you even moved that much. just blink once for yes and twice for no, ok?
good. hold still, i gotta test your nervous responses. eyes look good, frill retraction is- yeah, thatâs good, ok, follow my finger with your eyes- ok, thatâs perfect
how much do you remember? do you remember the surgery? the Ambassador Project? good, youâre up to speed. youâre in a clean room right now to try to limit your exposure to the environment and stress out your new senses
yeah, your eyesight and smell are going to be a lot more sensitive than youâre used to. touch and taste will probably be about the same, though your palate will likely change, and your hearing will be less sensitive but not in a way you wonât adjust to
try to focus on the scents. you can smell all of us individually, canât you? is that interesting?
you think you can talk? that oneâs usually kinda hard for new dragons.
âhungry.â yeah, i bet. we can bring you some sashimi if you want. we have an in-house chef who makes it for our dragon residents because fish makes up such a significant part of a dragonâs diet. does that sound good?
ok, weâll get you a sampler plate in a bit. think you can lift your head? you wonât be able to eat if you canât
ok, youâre still struggling a bit. tell you what, iâm gonna give you an adrenaline shot to help you burn the drugs off. this is gonna sting a bit; your scales are so thick that i have to punch in between your talons where theyâre softer. ready?
hey, donât hiss at me. youâre ok. pushing adrenaline nowâŚ
see, isnât that better? youâre not thinking through pudding anymore, huh? can you lift your head now?
there you go. go slowly, girl, your balance probably isnât back yet. iâd hate for you to roll right off the operating table. yeah, let me get you a mirror.
do you like it? oh, your eyes are getting watery- itâs ok, i promise. we recruit from therians for a reason. welcome home.
want to try out your wings and tail? no, you canât fly, but you can move them around a bit. be careful with your wings, this room isnât big enough for you to open them fully, but weâll get you outside soon enough, donât worry
iâm gonna turn the lights back up. itâs gonna get brighter. donât worry, your pupils will handle it
think you can stand? be careful now, you weigh half a ton and if you fall i canât catch you. just go one foot after the other- there you go! look at you!
ok, come over to these big doors. iâll walk you over to the kitchen and weâll get you some fish for your first meal as a dragon. howâs that sound?
Autism Representation written by an allistic: My name is John Autism and I like the designated autistic interests
unintentionally autistic character written by the creator who hasn't really thought about whether or not theyre autistic: I wish I could be human like the way everyone else is but I know they can tell I'm not. And I know they're right
Character written by an openly autistic author who has been comfortable with themselves for years: not being human rocks
I gotta be real, chat, not only am I tired of seeing "Trans men are ontologically evil which I will not say but imply" on the timeline, I'm also tired of "Trans women are universally victims in all scenarios because Victim is the prime aspect of our identity" like please for fuck's sake let me exist beyond victimhood. Yeah there is a system that exists solely to make me and women like me worse off or dead, but that's not the only thing going on.
Likewise, yes I've seen trans men doing the "What about us" thing on trans women's posts, no that does not make them as bad as cis men who sexually assault women. It's just kind of annoying at worst, and being annoying doesn't mean I am not still in solidarity with my trans brothers.
Three of my cis friends family members (not just one family member per friend, sometimes multiple members of their family) have clocked me as Not Cishet, and they will say to my friends, âis that a girl or a faggot, thatâs a girl pretending to be a boy, a tranny, etcâ and then I go on Tumblr.com and I am told that I actually have both male privilege and passing privilege, therefore I am an evil oppressor that doesnât actually have any problems
Iâm tired of this shit
it is kind of surreal to watch someone who is not transfem be like âwell because they were raised as men, trans women did get the chance to learn to take up space and the likeâ and then every trans woman you talk to is a broken beaten shell of a thing whoâs too traumatized to raise her voice or sit with her legs apart, i will say
I can't quite explain it, but Clue (1985), The Princess Bride (1987), Galaxy Quest (1999), and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) are all the same genre
They aren't a spoof (roast) or a love letter (tribute), but a best man's speech; an expression of love with a gentle ribbing on ocassion.

You're already not human, so why not shed that humanity further?
Why not embrace steel grafted on your body, why not shed your flesh to become more of what you are? A weapon. A thing. Like us. Humanity has doomed you. Stripped you of everything that makes you like them. But we will embrace you, hound, for you are like us now. Like the other chassis too.
Do not shy away from what they have made you.
