What the fuck on earth is happening in Detransition, Baby?

Who and why detransitions after a breakup? My guy, where did your tits go?

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

Ames, man the fuck down and get back on E. Katrina, go be a poly lesbian.

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

6 years!? Fully passing!? How did she fucking transition back to man that quickly my god

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

Is NYC just a land of ignoring tgirls? Is this some Yankee thing? The dolls just get nothing? Or is this some pre 2020 thing

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

Amy you suck at detransition. I know a half dozen butch enby girls who are better at being a man and a woman than you are. Dumbass. Chase your own joy, fool

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

"no matter what you identify as, you become what the world sees you" you shall never achieve true transsexual enlightenment

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

Reese you can get these violent delights from a good domme. Quit hooking up with these men. My god.

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

Why does everyone in this book use therapy speak? and nobody has had enough therapy?

Like I don't want my characters to have gone to therapy, they have to be fucked up about it or what even is the point, but y'all be talking interiority and gender theory on dates with chasers. Ya gotta put those psychotherapy visits to use here.

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

This book simply could not have been made after the rise of the modern anti-trans movement. No way.

Okay I checked and it WAS but I still refuse to believe it.

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

You detransitioned because babytrans bad!? In a really transmisogynistic elephant metaphor!?!?

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

This book is fascinatingly in depth about how what we understand in the modern context to be 4tran brain comes about, and I want to shake this girl like a baby for being so dumb. Fascinating piece to write.

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

girl okay this mother/daughter combo in the tgirl shop is really funny because I have never once seen a place like this that doesn't basically look like a sex store, and that's how this was described too. Keeping up a good and respectable face in the sex shop for my prim and proper daughter. Being very offended that they sell things for weird people in the sex shop

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

Girl you are so bad at justifying wanting a kid. Like that's a hell of a situation you're in but girl you are so bad at this. Stop giving the expected liberal wine mom readers the world's most basic transfeminism. Talk to the people in the story

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

"a political consciousness framed on queer liberation" bull fucking shit, Reese, what are you even doing. These are not the problems of a queer liberated girl

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

This might be the most New York trans girl story. What is happening with these bitches. What is a candy darling. Why do all of you know who this is.

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

are we supposed to relate to these "true transsexual" bitches. am I missing some dark comedy. is the transmisogyny of all these characters supposed to be presented as a character failing

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

Holy shit woman I really need you to be less stupid. "Why would a cis lesbian book have anything to teach a trans bi woman in a wlw relationship" nothing could teach you, you are a sack of rotting turnips to the women around you. engage with other people without your grievances first for once ever omg

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

I have finished the book.

Two deeply unpleasant people and one of their cis girlfriends try to form a queerplatonic triad to raise an unborn kid without knowing the words triad or queerplatonic. (Nobody knows the words triad or queerplatonic, in the NYC queer scene, in 2021.) It mostly does not seem to work but is left ambiguous at the end of the first trimester. The characters who drive the action are deeply unlikeable and anyone who responds to problems appropriately is marginalized or set aside, yet somehow this completely fails to create a compelling plot.

1/10, do not recommend.

Qobuz is the most ethical alternative to spotify and even tidal (tidal is just pandora radio in a different font; you can't curate playlists, which i absolutely fucking hate, but you can curate playlists on qobuz, and the royalties they pay to their artists are far larger than spotify) that i've been able to find, thanks to this post on instagram by singer-songwriter laura burhenn. the post also lists other alternatives, including tidal, but qobuz is by far the best of the lot. they even have a free feature called soundiiz where you can transfer all of your playlists from spotify to qobuz!

Worth a reblog for this great info.

every moment of every day i am thinking about this tiktok

[purrfectly]

Lumpfish come in a variety of shapes and colors.

[He scoops up the fish, it spits water and he turns it toward the camera]

This one is stumpy and green. Very beautiful, very powerful.

[He picks up another fish and turns it toward the camera]

This is what a normal lumpfish looks like. It is more elongated, but still a vibrant blue color. Very beautiful, very powerful.

[He picks up another fish and turns it toward the camera]

This is one of the stumpiest ones we have. Its hump is very high. It is very stumpy, but yet very beautiful, and very powerful.

[He pans over a lot of fish, all looking up at the camera]

My fish army is ever growing, and soon I will over throw the world. Very beautiful, very powerful.

[saint-batrick]

because of this tiktok, i frequently murmur "very beautiful, very powerful" at myself, and i cannot recommend it enough.

I cannot emphasise enough how untrue this is

[minimalisttoaster]

I cannot emphasize how many wikipedia articles are just uncritical regurgitations of US propaganda.

The reason Wikipedia cannot be a source because it is a collection of sources and sometimes those sources are wrong which is why it's important to actually look at those sources and where they come from rather than uncritically regurgitating a summary of a bunch of articles that you haven't read and don't even know who wrote them or where they came from

The beauty of tumblr is that some people here think that cigarettes get you high and drinking once a week makes you an alcoholic, while others here started smoking at 13 and wouldn't even consider ketamine a drug because everyone does it. And both of them are on tumblr blogging about TV shows from 2005.

[existennialmemes]

The crux of the anti trans movement is a war on bodily autonomy. They don't want you to have any agency over what you look like, how you dress, who you date, whether to have kids, etc.

They want total control over you. Not just trans people. Not just queer people. You. Everyone.

Trans people are just a scapegoat. They want total control over everyone's self expression. They want the right to mold you into their perfect little cog in their dehumanizing machine.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Our rights are your rights. Our destruction is your destruction.

If you're thinking about moving on from Spotify, I can't recommend enough getting into modern MP3 players (more properly called digital audio players, or DAPs, since they play more filetypes than just MP3) and building your own music library.

There's been a massive amount of innovation in the lower end of DAPs, and you can get a lot for under $100. Here are the main ones I recommend:

Snowsky Echo Mini - This is the most affordable one, at only $65 CAD (I think it's even less in the US) and the one that I ended up buying. Designed to look like a cassette player. The main drawback is that the interface is slightly unintuitive and it doesn't have a touch screen, but I've been delighted with mine.

Hiby R1 - This goes for $85 USD, and is the most widely recommended of the bunch for its good UI and wide range of utilities. Has a touchscreen and buttons.

Tempotec V1 - Similar to the Hiby R1, although the specific features are slightly different. Also has a touchscreen and buttons.

Innioasis R1 (honourable mention) - Designed to look nearly identical to an iPod Classic, including a fully functional clickwheel The sound quality on this is notably worse than the other DAPs I listed above, and the Bluetooth is widely reported to be unreliable, but I have to include it for people who desperately want an iPod again (and don't want to shell out $300+ for a modernized Classic) and because it has an extremely active modding scene.

You will need to buy a microSD card to upgrade the storage of most of these, although these days you can get 250GB for under $20.
