if you set off a rube goldberg type death trap to kill someone, if it's a long enough machine, it ceases to become your fault if somebody dies at the end. that's how I've gotten away with it all these years, and why I'm still going to heaven.
(via @yellowocaballero)
I'm autistic and have a bad tendency to talk at people rather than with them. I also will sometimes repeat what another person has said in my own words as a way of processing it.
When I was a girl, while people were (reasonably) frustrated with this and gently corrected me, it was largely understood, by reasonable people at least, to be something I couldn't really control and something that was not done with any malicious intent.
While I am still perceived as a girl IRL, I changed my online username and presentation to be masculine. I have noticed that (and created a spreadsheet to keep track of) people are now perceiving this same exact behavior as malicious. I deleted my Reddit account not too long ago because I got dogpilled for doing so to the point of people DMing me, which, even though I knew it wasn't that big of a deal, made me feel horrible (which is why I deleted my account).
On one hand, I understand the reaction. A (presumably, ostensibly cis) man repeating what a woman is saying does, at surface level, seems like mansplaining — seems like malice, seems like it's a behavior rooted in believing that a man's words hold more weight and are more important than a woman's.
On the other hand, it feels like I am being punished for being both autistic and transmasculine. I can't change this behavior anymore than I can change the course of a river. The only way to prevent it would be to not speak at all. I'm newly discovered, in regards to my transmasculinity. Part of me is so frustrated with this that I was thinking of changing my username and online presentation back to something more feminine or neutral.
Largely, it is also just very frustrating to have it assumed that I have never been a victim of misogyny, including things such as mansplaining. The stripping of my past (and present!) life experiences once I am perceived as a man feels in itself as malicious.
I was wondering if you might have any advice or insight? Apologies if I've gotten the wrong idea. Entire message is meant to be in a "stating a series of events factually and neutrally" tone.
ive been saying that in the same way that there is an intersection between transandrophobia and racism, there is an intersection between transandrophobia and ableism. disabled men, particularly mentally/psychiatrically disabled men but also physically, are seen as a threat in a way that disabled women arent typically. a lot of trans guys who are disabled (myself included) transitioned and started experiencing a whole new axis of ableism that we did not experience when presenting/living as cis women. this isnt to say that women dont experience ableism or that kind of ableism, but it definitely more broadly affects men ime. disabled boys and men are perceived differently from disabled women and girls for expressing the same symptoms. disabled boys and men are seen as threatening in a way that disabled women and girls are typically not. of course, the way society views and treats disabled women and girls has led to a lot of horrible shit for that community (which a lot of historical (and modern) trans men have experienced as well) but societys view on disabled men and boys and viewing them as a threat (especially black and brown disabled men and boys) has killed them/us and continues to. and i think thats an important discussion to have, but of course, even the most "progressive" people at best dont ever think about disabled people in their activism because they dont think we have a place in society, and at worst also hate disabled people

"All drugs are drugs" = a surprisingly radical position that will upset people right across the political spectrum
This means:
If you draw a hard line between "drug" and "medicine" based on current legality where you live (or any other criteria) you've gone wrong somewhere,
If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to do massive harm to someone's body, mind or well-being you've gone wrong somewhere,
If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to contribute meaningfully to someone's healing, function or happiness you've gone wrong somewhere,
If you think certain substances should be excluded from informed consent (either withheld or forcibly administered) you've gone wrong somewhere.
If you draw an arbitrary line between socially acceptable, legal drugs (nicotine, alcohol, caffeine) and criminalized or stigmatized drugs, you've gone wrong somewhere.
Please read this because it is EXTREMELY important me (a transgender man) and to other trans individuals.
The US Government is currently trying to pass an incredibly dangerous national law for trans youth called HR 2616.
This bill would ban all Federally funded schools from teaching about gender identity or sexual orientation, prevent teachers from using the correct pronouns and names for trans students, remove books with any trans representation in them, and even go as far as to prevent teachers from acknowledging trans identity AT ALL.
Any school that does not follow this will lose all federal funding. This bill would also require teachers to forcibly out trans students to their families, which would be fatal to any trans student with a transphobic Family or just hateful family in general. Trans people are already a group that already has some of the highest rates of being victim to suicide, domestic violence, and sexual assault.
This bill actively makes teachers put those innocent children at such a big risk. This bill has rapidly passed the house this week with support from all 209 republicans, as well as 8 democrats. But, it's still being voted on in the senate, which means there is still time to help stop this.
To help stop this, you can visit 5calls.org (look up 2616 in the search bar), one of the most top issues filed Oppose Attacks on LGBTQ+ Students. Once you put in your general location, it will pull-up contact information for your senator, and give you a script for calling them.
If you are a minor and/or do not feel comfortable doing this, PLEASE repost this on here, or any other platform you are on/can find! This needs to be heard and fought against.
Thank you for reading this, my lovely people!

Hey remember when everyone was panicking about everyone taking estrogen HRT being put on a registry and that same law making it illegal to import estrogen from overseas and a felony to DIY? Remember when everyone was rightfully horrified about how inaccessible this would make transitioning to transfem people?
Trans men on testosterone HRT are on a registry because testosterone is a controlled substance. It is illegal to import testosterone from overseas and it is a felony to DIY with it. Still, the same people who were panicking over this law for transfems will belittle and bully transgender men who do not DIY or are rightfully afraid of it.
dropped several sources on a transphobe in a comments section but one of the links is actually just a jpeg of waluigi. he hasnt noticed it yet. he just made up a strawman and i said "well ive given several sources to back up my claims and you've given me none". please god just notice my waluigi
The reason people will say “I hate men” instead of “I hate misogynists” when misogynistic behavior and attitudes is supposedly the justification for hating men, is because they cannot grapple with the fact that women enforce misogyny almost as much as men — sometimes even equally or moreso than men depending on the specific situation. Mothers who police their children into performing their assigned gender “correctly” are one of the more obvious examples and it’s something I rarely see feminists trying to genuinely reckon with.
Misogyny enforced by women is too often handwaved away as “internalized misogyny,” and misogynistic women are shown more sympathy and more easily forgiven because they’re victims of the same system they’re enforcing. In contrast, men who are lifelong victims of misogyny (e.g. trans men, intersex men, queer men in general) are rarely given this same grace and in fact are often subject to even harsher scrutiny than their pericishet male peers. This also applies to trans women who, despite being women, are heavily scrutinized and accused of being more misogynistic than cis women due to the myth of “AMAB socialization.”
So when you say that you hate all men because men are taught to be misogynistic, you are very conveniently glossing over the fact that EVERYONE is taught and incentivized to be misogynistic, including those who are targets of misogyny, because that’s how systemic bigotry operates. Desperately clinging to oversimplified models of systems of oppression is rarely more than a flimsy excuse to avoid looking inward and examining whether or not you yourself may be participating in the very thing you claim to fight against, as we have seen time and time again with radical feminists proving themselves to be raging misogynists unwilling to examine their own behavior. I agree that it would make things a lot easier if we could easily sort people into groups of who is safe and who is dangerous based on simple identity markers, but unfortunately we live in the real world and as feminists we have to have room for nuance and self-examination if we want to tackle complex issues like systemic misogyny.
last year my friends at the time all called me chopped and the chuzz and i thought it meant a bad hair cut so i agreed cause my hair was atrocious back then. only later did i find out they were straight up calling me ugly
it was a big blow to my self esteem at the time especially combined with when everyone ranked each others' attractiveness and i think the highest i got was a 5
needless to say we arent friends anymore. they were toxic/abusive(?) in other ways
"oh but chopped came from queer slang so its amazing actually!!" i dont care where it came from please stop calling me ugly
on a positive note i used to get really sad after hearing someone say chopped but i started using it to describe objects or societal systems i dont like and now i dont get sad anymore!!! its just a word and i use it sometimes and im really happy cause that was an awful time and its nice not to get thousand yard stare type flashbacks when hearing it
This is lookism.
Also just fyi it doesn't come from just queer culture, if I remember right it comes from AAVE, specifically queer black/Latino ball room culture. But a lot of slang gets very easily watered down as queer culture erasing it's non-white origins.
oligarchy is chopped
Hey so if I decided to say, "I'm homophobia affected because I'm a lesbian. These bisexual people are homophobia exempt." And then started saying stuff about "we should murder all homophobia exempt people!" While very clearly talking about bisexuals, that would be bad and detestable, right?
Then when bisexuals spoke up and were like "hey we actually do experience homophobia because we are often perceived as queer. Also I'm really uncomfortable with how I'm being treated in my own community" but I responded by spouting statistics about corrective rape and violence against lesbians (despite the fact they never denied the suffering of lesbians), while ignoring their actual objection, we could agree that would be a horrible and biphobic thing to do?
Cool, then can we stop doing it to trans men?

Don't Fall for this scam.
Transgender community, please please please do NOT use this product! It will kill you if used, please do not use it whatsoever.
Please reblog and spread the word
Why do leftists try so hard to defend their bodyshaming of men? Why tf do you think ‘small penis’ jokes and shaming men for being short or fat or having a neck beard is okay, as long as the specific man you’re hurtling these insults towards is an asshole?
YOU’RE STILL BEING FATPHOBIC, INTERSEXIST, AND TRANSANDROPHOBIC, AND JUST GENERALLY BODY SHAMING ANYONE WITH THOSE TRAITS.
What's a song that always makes you feel seen and understood?
Typically, I see songs as stories, and while I can relate those to my own life, it's hard to draw a connection strong enough that it feels it's speaking to me. Songs can often help me understand the world better, and make me realize that I am seen and understood more than I thought, or help me come to terms with the idea of not being so. the first song that comes to mind that does that is:
Eclipse, by Pink Floyd
a lot of songs on that album do that for me, when I think about it, for different reasons.
Here are some hotlines. Spread the info
Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people
please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.
