A little while ago a manager of mine was talking about Nazi shit with one of my coworkers so I had my dad call and pretend to be a customer reporting it, since I was scared to do so myself as the new guy at work. The gm said he would handle it but theyre both still working here unfortunately. At least I don't hear anything else but like damn.

If you are white, you keep being white regardless of your gender. There is no debate to be had. Being trans doesn't magically make you antiracist, you need to put in the fucking work. If you aren't willing to, you're not a safe person to be around, stay away from my blog and my siblings of colour.

[kittenscratches]

If I were to stop being a man, and detransition and occupy the role of a cis woman, and therefore stop being a target of transphobia, then being a man is what makes me open to oppression, and am therefore oppressed for being a man.

[velvetvexations]

For some weird reason people understand this when it's about trans women. "We're treated like this because we're [the gender that we are] and not because of how we're perceived" is only impossible to comprehend when it's concerning trans men.

[ro-is-futile]

if OP is oppressed for being a man then do cis men experience the same oppression for being men? do cis men experience transphobia for being men?

OP isn't oppressed for being a man, OP is oppressed for being a TRANS man. OP is a target of transphobia because OP is transgender.

im so confused how OP can accurately identify the oppression they experience as transphobia, but then proceed to say they experience for being a man, not for being transgender.

the reason trans women do experience oppression for being women is because we live in a patriarchal society. so women experience oppression simply for being women.

that is why trans women experience oppression for being women AND for being transgender.

in other words, transmisogyny.

i recommend people read Crenshaw's 1989 article "Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex" to understand the concept of intersectionality in a material context.

[hunita812]

Run that by me one more time

Are you . Are you implying cis women face transphobia for being women?

mishandled regulations around homeschooling directly lead to the false statistics of overly religious focused homeschooling. my parents were required by law to have a religious exemption to keep my brother and i out of public school. we did not have a religious focused education. but people who only look at numbers and stick their fingers in their ears when people who lived through it talk, have a tendency to think that homeschooling is inherently religious abuse. your statistics are not reliable. and i know because i was part of what makes them unreliable. this is part of the structural religious oppression in the US, also.

[hunita812]

People like to talk about religious abuse within homeschooling as if we don't have tons of schools whose whole Thing is that they are religious and tend to be rife with abuse.

It does baffle me to see posts where OP (who is usually younger) will mention a family member is consistently queerphobic and immediately follow it up with "so I came out to them and they were queerphobic about it /: " like yeah? You knew this already. You know you can just . Not tell people these things right. Especially if you're younger and therefore are under their control. I'm not saying staying closeted is easy or fun but if you hear suspiciously duck-like quacks why are you then surprised to find a duck.

[hunita812]

See I just can't believe that every single religious fanatic is delusional, because delusion is a very specific thing. Even if they believe some very far fetched ideas, the word you're typically looking for is gullible. Believing something you've been repeatedly told, especially from a very young age, isn't delusion. At a certain point it's not even gullibility, depending on circumstances. When something is just presented to you as fact from the moment you learned to read you're just going to accept it as fact.

Thoughts on this goober I got yesterday?

Good lord . Truly just an assortment of shapes and colors

[hunita812]

I more or less never wonder if I'm somehow actually a system and just missed it the first time around any more, but I gotta say. Sometimes szpd traits do appear to be very system-ly. Big time dissociater and derealizer here. I'm able to get myself to pretend to be a person when I need to but the second I drop it I'm like wow that was basically not me at all. Except the key difference here is that I'm just putting on a mask. But every now and then I look at that mask and wonder if it's alive. What the fuck is a self anyway

[hunita812]

Hrng I want my girlfriend on top of me . But she is asleep and I should be too I have work in the morning guhhh

they should invent a disproportionate emotional response that goes away when you understand it's disproportionate. they should invent a way to logic yourself out of emotions

If you ever think that beauty standards for afab people arent all that bad just remember that one time I tried to convince my mom to let me wear jeans on a field day (it was like 100 degrees out and we had to be outside doing Sports Stuff all day) because I was embarrassed about my leg hair

This was in the fourth grade

I was nine.

[hunita812]

What's up I'm like six months on T and my leg hair is so glorious. We should also hunt people who enforce shaving on literal children for sport.

People will say “nobody treats transmasculine people like predators” and in the same breath say every transmasc or trans man who attempts to differentiate their manhood/masculinity from cis manhood/masculinity is just doing so to evade taking accountability for harm caused and to get away with hurting people (women, in particular).

I don’t know who needs to hear this but being treated like a predator isn’t just being called a predator it’s also people assuming your intentions are nefarious and assigning behavior (and imagined future actions/past transgressions) to you that they have no proof of being real under the guise of “keeping other people safe”.

[hunita812]

Also like... As my voice deepens and my mustache comes in I get more anxious to just be nice to children (which I see pretty frequently as I'm a cashier) lest I get called a pedophile.

[cluster-a-culture]

szpd culture is EVEN THOUGH IT’S WELL DOCUMENTED IN RESEARCH nobody understands this phenomenon, no one understands fear of engulfment.

I got possessed be people like a symbiote (metaphor) leading me to act out of character and embarrass myself at my own expense.

I would actually be the most social animal if I had the mental fortitude to avoid this.
