"But can you feel it?" Post-phalloplasty sensation explained.

By @ kashcolegrove, Kai Asher Colegrove (he/him).

[genderkoolaid]

For anyone curious, Dr. Blair Peters at OHSU has done a lot of work on how to improve sensation post-op & they helped create this nerve rehab guide for people who have gotten phalloplasty!

It walks you through various stages throughout recovery which are meant to help your brain connect the sensation you experience to your new penis. The rehab protocol was created with input from trans patients to ensure it actually addresses trans needs, like dealing with dysphoria, and is meant to be used by people with all kinds of goals for their phallo. You can also check out the study they published on this protocol for more info!

Phalloplasty has already improved so much since it first started to be performed, and work is still being done every day to improve it further! If you want a penis, you can have a penis!!!

tumblr wanna hear my most angsty dumb edgy headcanon?

[buthowaminotdeadyet-deactivated]

do we get a choice?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

of course you have a choice! free will, that beloved gleaming prize, that cornerstone of humanity and philosophy, rests at your feet! you are forever free to choose your answers to any question, whether that answer is yes or no or any alternative! whether the answer is accurate or false or undetermined, only you can give it! only you can make that choice! what is your answer?

[i-am-gaywastaken]

We politely decline

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

ok so in Brother Bear’s famous “quit telling everyone i’m dead” “sometimes I can still hear his voice!” scene, the husband Edgar’s voice is only ever heard off-screen. so my headcanon is that either the wife is hallucinating her husband’s voice (which only we, the audience can hear) OR it’s one of her neighbors playing a cruel practical joke on an elderly widow, in which case he’s been gaslighting her long enough that she’s learned to ignore the evidence of her own ears.

(The alternate explanation is she has dementia and is so ill she can’t even remember whether her loved ones are alive or dead.)

What happened to free will

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

a valuable lesson! what the philosophers forget is that free will exists only to the extent the individual is allowed to make meaningful choices! though we are all capable of conscious thought & purposeful decision (which supposedly elevates us above the level of “mere beast”), this becomes irrelevant in the face of an indifferent and often openly malicious world that controls the fundamental factors of our lives. What is free will in a society that rips away all meaningful choice, that steals away the supposedly most sacrosanct of freedoms? You are always free to choose your answer, but it is the world that sets the questions and judges your grade! And the questions are multiple choice, with all wrong answers, and mostly boil down to “which way will you choose to suffer today?” And even if you give the “right” answer, the world may well ignore you on a whim!

Free will exists, but this is not a free world.

since writing this I’ve settled on option 3) whenever her husband gets too annoying she just goes around telling people he’s dead

some birds are very intuitively named. looked up a sparrow going chipchipchip in my yard, it was a chipping sparrow. saw a black bird with red wings, it was a red winged blackbird. gray bird that sounds like a cat? gray catbird. the first time i saw a house finch it was perched on a windowsill. However, some birds are the red-bellied woodpecker

[someofusarequeer]

I gotta google something real quick

[someofusarequeer]

who named this bird

I am once again begging people to realize that AI checker doesn’t work. it’s never worked. it’s notoriously known to have flagged human-made works as AI and AI-generated works as human-made. and by feeding it people’s works, you are feeding more works to AI, because apparently the machine itself is AI.

the only thing AI checker does is harm genuine artists and people in general too.

I’m taking your hand very gently when I say this, especially cause I struggle with it too:

It is more important that you are in the pictures than how you look in them. Having pictures of something joyful and being in them helps you remember good times years ahead. The more time passes, the more nostalgic it gets, and the more you might regret not being in the pictures or having them. At some point, you will hopefully also look at yourself with kinder eyes, and notice the joy in the pictures themself and the joy the memories bring.

Your presence matters far more than your looks ever will. 🌸

[Transcription: A well-dressed fancy lady and man stand facing each other in an old-fashioned movie*

Woman: “And now you want me to teach you jiu jitsu.”

Man: “If you don’t mind, Miss Plum.”

Plum, loud and excitedly: “IT’LL BE A PLEASURE.”

*She rips his tuxedo jacket off his shoulders, grips him aggressively, and yeets him over her shoulder in a jiu jitsu martial arts fashion*

Man: *Clasping her arms a few seconds later while she looks coyly at him* “Now, let me see. Um. Let me do it to you.”

*He appears very concentrated, the camera shifts to her soft smile and romantic music begins to play, accentuating a mood that he is NOT picking up on*

“Now, let me see first of all I, um,- I pull this down.” *He pulls her cardigan off her shoulders, her collarbone now exposed and she likes it that way, she looks very obviously at his lips, like this lady has absolutely zero chill*

“Now I do this!” *He jilts her shoulders into them so their faces are centimeters away, she looks like she would like to eat his face and he is still very concentrated but in a giddy boy way*

Him: “Then I hold you close!”

Plum: “Closer.”

Him, confuzzled: “I beg your pardon?”

Plum: “Closer!! Close as you can!” *She is mentally having sex already*

Him: “Oh, yes.” *He searches her eyes for direction*

Him: “Now what do I do?”

*Miss Plum is absolutely beaming*

Plum: “Don’t you know?”

*She wants him to do things to her and he stands there mouth agape. You can see his one braincell struggling visibly in his hollow brain as realization of the century is dangling in front of him. He’s about to realize and then*

Him: “Of course! Now I apply the leverage!” *And he yeets her on to the floor*

*The music swells and fades, telling the audience that this man’s one braincell has failed him. Himbo of the century.*

So, you know how certain Christian missionaries are trained to act in a very obnoxious way, so that most people they preach to will reject them outright, so they feel like the world hates them for being Christian and they can only be friends with fellow Christians? You know that thing?

I think as activists, we sometimes need to stop and ask ourselves whether we're acting like those missionaries. I think this type of behavior is a little more ingrained into our society than some of us realize, and some of us have internalized it without realizing what it's actually meant to do.

[penrosesun]

OP I know that this is probably a different direction than you were going, but genuinely this advice would do so so much to help people not fall into secular political cults.

A lot of high control groups use this tactic to isolate their members. It’s absolutely not just evangelizing Christians. New age wellness cults often encourage their members to make outlandish and offensive accusations regarding the mental and physical health of other people or their children, because they know that the backlash their members receive will reinforce the idea that the “mainstream” simply has no room for people who like crystals and essential oils. White supremacist cults will seed the vocabulary of new recruits with Nazi dog whistles that fly over those recruits heads, specifically so that they will get clocked as possible neo-Nazis and shunned by anyone who might offer them another perspective and help them to get out before it’s too late. And a lot of left-leaning political cults strongly encourage members to share their views in the most inflammatory ways possible, and then say “you see? everyone outside of this small circle is evil and cannot be relied on” when, inevitably, that produces bad results.

Sometimes I think that activists fall into these patterns completely accidentally, either because they were raised in culturally Christian evangelical environments and never unpacked it, or else because they just aren’t any good at approaching things in a non-inflammatory way and no one’s shown them how.

…But sometimes, these structures emerge in activist circles because those circles are legitimately becoming high control groups.

I think some things to watch out for especially in this regard are:

Are you being directed to behave in an extremely hostile and alienating way? (even if it’s by someone who you trust!)

Does the group you are in immediately shut down any conversation about the effectiveness of an antagonistic strategy? In particular, do they shut that conversation down using in-group stock phrases?

Is experiencing harsh rejection seen as something of a rite of passage?

Do you receive more validation from the group you are in after you have been rejected by someone outside the group than at any other time?

Have you ever been concerned that the antagonistic strategy you are using hurt someone you cared about, only to be quickly advised by members of the group that that person was toxic and that you should actually completely cut them out of your life?

These to me are all pretty significant red flags about the group in question, whatever the specific thing that brings people together there is. If you start noticing them in a group that you are a part of, be that an in-person activist circle or a Discord server or anything in between, take a step back and seriously consider the possibility that the good thing that you joined is turning into something different, and possibly dangerous.

In the words of Jonestown survivor Deborah Layton, “Nobody joins a cult. You join a self-help group, a religious movement, a political organization. They change so gradually, by the time you realize you’re entrapped – and almost everybody does – you can’t figure a safe way back out.”
