thing I am proud of: when the doctor started going on a weird rant about long covid not being real I paused and listened to his nonsense for a bit and then very calmly said, in a polite and curious tone, "you don't believe in post-viral illness?" and he like. stammered a bunch and was like OH WELL I'M NOT SAYING -- I DON'T...I just think ..! and backpedaled awkwardly while I just sat there like :3c interesting :3c thank you so much for clarifying your stance on this :3c

an important skill for chronically ill people to develop is the ability to treat the doctor as though they are simply a person you are interviewing to find out how much they know about your condition.

[nightmare-from-heaven]

Holy shit op this is LITERALLY in the book 'Never Split The Difference: Negotiating as if Your Life Depends On It'. Written by a guy who did hostage negotiation and then tried doing business negotiation, and mopped the floor with industry experts.

I'm fortunate enough to have a primary care doctor who knows about hEDS, but it's occurring to me that the skills in this book could be medically life changing for chronically ill folks of all kinds. Like. Literally a matter of life and death, especially for BIPOC and/or fat and/or young people who are having their issues dismissed.

HMMM interesting!! will have to check this out

if i had a dick i would love to have a disappointing orgasm in the shower while thinking of something or someone that i felt i should not be thinking about & then stand under the water with my forehead against a wall watching the proof of my guilt & shame go down the drain

[krippe90]

The insight I get into the female mind thanks to this website is amazing.

[orpheuslament]

not a female 👍

[orpheuslament]

pause everybody take notes. real trans ally

[gaytanic-panic]

I feel like every year the girl names get more boyish like what do you mean you are a teenage girl named Ian??

And this leads to an escalation on the boy name front where like, once upon a time shit like Hunter was something parents in the Bush era made up to reassure ppl there was no fag shit going on with their kids and now the most famous trans woman in country is named Hunter so p soon we are gonna need to call the boys shit like Blade and Laser

[gaytanic-panic]

I'm gonna be teaching in 2030 and all the girls are going to be named Arnold and Connor and all the boys are gonna be named Gun

[charlizetheronsbush-official]

sorry but gun is already a girl’s name

Listen, fellow trans women, I love you all, but if you think that trans men or transmascs are an oppressor class you need to log the fuck off because you are being brainpoisoned by discourse-mongers. That is a legitimately rocks for brains take

[doubleca5t]

There is a HUUUUUGE gap between "transfems experience a unique intersection of oppressions which are not experienced by transmascs", which is true, "some passing trans men benefit from male privilege", which is true, "trans people are not immune to transphobic rhetoric and this can sometimes take the form of transmascs engaging in transmisogyny", which is true, and "transmascs should be treated as equivalent to cis men because trans men are men and therefore as men they are a danger to trans women" like do you see where the gigantic leap of logic comes in here?

[doubleca5t]

There is something personally offensive to me about accounts that go out of their way to post about transmascs being dangerous or untrustworthy or transmisogynistic when the primary danger to trans women right now is the goddamn United States government. Like we've got people in the white house who would outlaw all HRT if given the opportunity and you're gonna post about trans men?? I don't even mean this in a "we have bigger fish to fry" sort of way I mean this is the sense that building solidarity is one of the most important things you can do when faced with a hostile government and society. It's not just that the claims being made are bullshit and transphobic it's that the whole thing feels actively self-destructive toward creating any kind of community that's of any use to anyone

The other day my wife told me about this influencer who said she needed to go on ozempic so she could go from 130 lbs down to 115 and I really cannot stress the degree to which we have so COMPLETELY lost the plot with this glp1 shit. Like not only are people are going on this shit for purely cosmetic purposes, the cosmetic purposes are delusional. This is the kind of mindset that gives people eating disorders but now because you can get a prescription instead of having to starve yourself or enduce vomiting a big swath of the general public seems eager to go along with it. Body Positivity did not go fucking far enough because I am being so real when I say that fatphobia is more of a public health crisis than obesity has ever been

People making a choice feminism argument for Ariana Grande looking skeletal have me feeling like this

ok to call out my own community a little. We have to get more vocally anti-TERF. They are not our allies, they are not our sisters in arms, they are not part of the discussion against transandrophobia. Too often I have seen TERFs in my notes, wrongly believing my readiness to call out transandrophobia was indicative of some transmisogyny I hold and seeking to ally themselves with me as a result. It is not transmisogynistic to want to uplift transmascs and trans men. This is rhetoric I have seen coming from transandrophobes who claim to be transfeminists and transandrophobes who are trans-exclusionary feminists, albeit in different lights.

I cannot stress enough that TERFs and their ilk are not welcome on my blog and never will be. We need to get more vocal about excluding TERFs from our space. It is not transmisogynistic to stand up for trans men, and they have no community here. Never forget the trans in trans-exclusionary radical feminism means trans men too. They do not wish well for us. They seek to detransition and abuse us much the same as the patriarchal conservatism feminism is supposed to stand against.

[vinterfeminism]

This is intertransfeminism!!

[butch-king-frankenstein]

We need to start sexualizing the janitor's jumpsuit as the butch equivalent of the maid's uniform

[butch-king-frankenstein]

I've sent several messages to people who reblogged this post talking about how much they love men, being like "hey did you notice that this post is about lesbians" and every single one of them has just openly admitted that no, their eyes completely slid off the word "butch" like butter off a duck. not a surprise, frankly

maybe this is too woke but i really hate the trope of naked older women = scary or vomit inducing or gross or whatever. like you even see it used in horror on occasion like oooooo so scary theres a woman with saggy boobs and wrinkles. There is something to be said for unconsensual veiwing of nudity. sure. it’s uncomfortable and violating for someone to be nude in front of you that you don’t want to see. but rarely that’s seen as the issue and instead the real ‘horror’ or gross out joke is the very idea of a woman who does not have a body that is sexually desirable to men. The very idea of an older woman’s body is treated like it’s something that we should all know is gross, sick and wrong. It’s just something that really bothers me
