Whenever people look at me, a gnc lesbian with a buzzcut, no makeup, and unshaven body hair, and ask me my pronouns, all I hear is “I see you’re not being a woman correctly. Do you want me to pretend you’re not a woman?”

I heard this metaphor growing up, and in my case, it backfired supremely, because I went out into my neighbor's backyard where a rose bush was growing, and the one I tested had like 30 petals (it was yellow, but definitely a rose of some kind), and as a very logical lass, I came to the conclusion that you could have premarital sex AT LEAST ten times before your future husband would even notice something was up. Moral of the story? Test your metaphors on the weirdest and most neurodivergent child you know before writing your weird religious propaganda.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT BUT IT'S NOT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[an-awkward-tangerine]

Just to clear some things up

What "sex is binary" means :

There are only two sexes

Variations of the sexes are not a third sex

Everyone is either male or female

What "sex is binary" DOESN'T mean :

All people are typical of their sex

There is no variation between the sexes

The two sexes are 100% distincts in humans

People with variations should be corrected

Atypical people are "less" of their sex

Sex characteristics can never change

You can only be your sex in one way

Only typical people have a valid experience

it’s amazing how most of tumblr is able to comprehend “making jokes about wanting to die make you feel worse” but not “masturbating to women being raped makes you more attracted to rape”. Hell they’re sooner able to agree rape jokes are distasteful than rape kinks

Why don’t (some) people on here see the difference between

“I respect trans people and the struggles they go through, but many women’s issues do not apply to trans women, therefore trans women don’t need to be included in those spaces. Nor would I enjoy sex with a penis.”

And

“I think trans people are disgusting, I have no respect for them, their bodies and minds are gross, they should all just die.”

All until you have a bunch of shit pointlessly collecting dust at your house. Why are people these days yearning to hoard?

[a-griffin-in-the-clouds]

Shushhhhhhhhh younge radfem....physical media is the way to go, still pirate what you can heheh

[swaggynomore2k25-deactivated202]

being able to own the media you've purchased instead of having it randomly taken away from you due to licensing issues is empowerment. this isn't just music or movies, we're talking books and art. a company being able to flippantly decide when you have access to a book is bad. physical media removes that middle man.

[xxactlyperfect]

Do you fellow people forget that you can download things? Save 'em neatly on a drive, disc, whatever? You don't need 200 CDs, I promise. Just get a pendrive.

"All until you have a bunch of shit pointlessly collecting dust at your house. Why are people these days yearning to hoard?"

A bunch of shit? Pointlessly collecting dust?

I'll have you know it is not sitting around collecting dust. I play my CDs. I watch my shows and movies on DVD. My books are stored lovingly in shelves I can access at a moment's notice, without logging on, charging a battery, or paying a monthly fee.

And there is art in the display of your media. I LOVE looking at the cover art, the little booklets, etc.

Yes, I "hoard". But what are libraries, if not "hoards" of knowledge, storytelling and expression?

[xxactlyperfect]

Libraries are not comparable here. A library is a communal space with a singular copy of each book that people can borrow at any time then return it once they are done. They can borrow it repeatedly if they want. You're comparing this communal space to a private ownership of multiple books which you are likely to read 1-3 times then move on to new ones. Multiply this by however many people have a copy of the same book and imagine the resources wasted on it. Keep in mind I'm not saying it's wasteful to own a copy of whatever media you enjoy for a long time. I'm saying it is wasteful because, realistically, people no longer appreciate one item like they did back in the day. They continue to consume and hoard till it's eventually thrown away.

I still got all my old books from when I was 6. All my favorite CDs and DVDs. They've been with me through multiple moves and it's a chore to drag all those things around, especially since I no longer need them. I may complain about technology, but I can't deny that it made storing things I like much easier and less wasteful.

[femmesandhoney]

Resources wasted on *checks notes* owning books you read and like. Ok...

Girl donate the shit you don't use or want around and stop acting like others who collect and enjoy their hobbies with physical copies of media are wasteful and the weird ones here. That's literally a skill issue on your part.

[xxactlyperfect]

Re-check the notes, maybe? 🤔

[femmesandhoney]

Still a dumb thing to say no matter if you wanna "to each their own it" lmao
