Doctor who has only ever misdiagnosed neurodivergent trans girls: Yeah he's just stubborn, boys will be boys haha, I've seen it a thousand times

Seriousy wild how bitter I was able to be as a child without anyone ever thinking, "Huh, maybe this kid doesn't like being themself and also has a dopamine deficiency disorder." Like girl if I had that level of impunity nowadays

[summergoodwife]

PSA to parents and generally those who interact with children a lot, especially if you have some authority over that child: a kid not wanting to do anything ever is not normal! A kid being tired and annoyed a majority of the time is not normal! And normalcy aside, it's not pleasant to be that kid!

I'm saying that from the perspective of the kid. I was that kid. My most vivid memories of childhood, to this day, are the times when I was thinking, "how pointless is all of this? when can I stop doing it and lie down?"

My parents just thought this was my personality. I love them dearly, and they've learned so much since then. Still, once you tell the adults in your life, "I never want to do tasks and I feel terrible when they're done" and they act like this is nothing, this is normal, you don't come back from that. That shit's a trust fall. When they let you hit the ground, you can never fully get up afterwards. IG that I could call it trauma, but that feels dramatic to me.

It just fucking sucks.

Maybe your lazy kid literally doesn't have the chemicals their brain needs to calculate whether something is worthwhile or not. Maybe your kid who's so indifferent to their appearance that they neglect self-care is desperately hiding from how badly they loathe that appearance when they do think about it. If I had to summarize it all into a point, I'd say that "resolutely indifferent" is not a normal or healthy way for a child to be. It's not really healthy for anyone, for that matter. Please try to find something out. Kids need you.

The thing is: if your predominantly trans space makes a cis guy uncomfortable, that guy is probably not a good fit for the space. Like, cis guys who complain about egg jokes are, in my experience moderating such spaces, also extremely likely to start talking about misandry being a real problem and how feminists need to quiet down.

At the same time, I don't particularly think "taking action for the purposes of making someone uncomfortable" is good for a space, either. I think it's very easy for a space to produce a culture that makes existing users comfortable at the cost of making the space more hostile for new users.

But, uh, egg jokes are a part of transfem social reproduction. Venting about how men suck is part of being a woman (in fact, venting about how your oppressors suck is part of being part of any marginalized group). And, as a marginalized group, being loud is part of feeling safe.

I think "this is bad because it makes cis men uncomfortable" discourse is disguising one thing as another. Producing a reasonable sounding justification that preys on the listener's unfamiliarity with the problem (and, in fact, their tendency to center the experiences of cis men).

An important thing to understand in order to understand intersectionality is that "cis man" is not the 'average person'. In general, the experiences of the least marginalized are not a "canary in the coal mine" that must be looked to first. In fact, our movement must be built upon the experiences of the multiply-marginalized, not those closest to the top.

lesbian woman in nitrile exam gloves. and she’s kind of mean. okay?

[dumbdoegirl]

and she fingers you with a disinterested expression and you cum so hard you start crying and she looks so disgusted but she still lets you lie there shaking. okay?

[dumbertrannyerbitchier]

okay? that's exactly what I ordered, kudos to the chef

[hemipenal-system]

the differences between alcohol, tobacco, and anything else in america is kind of absurd and it’s hard to wrap your head around without going kinda insane

[hemipenal-system]

you can drink alcoholic drinks in public if you want BUT ☝️ only in some places. you can smoke cigarettes almost fucking anywhere though, even though that makes the environment way worse for everyone around you. however you cannot smoke cannabis anywhere. you can’t even have it at all in a lot of places. having open containers (i.e. a bottle of liquor you’ve drank from before) of alcohol in your vehicle is illegal EVEN IF you’re sober as a nun. you can smoke in your car. everything has so much caffeine in it that sometimes a drink just hospitalizes or kills you. you can buy caffeine pills to stay awake at drugstores and gas stations. you need a drivers license to get decongestants and you have to jump through hoops and bark like a trained seal to get any kind of hrt or psychiatric medication. they sell cigs literally everywhere. they wreck your life and finances and make you smell horrid and give you cancer but a bunch of rich people are dumping so much money into keeping them legal that seemingly the only thing the government can do is “ehhh they give you cancer but we can’t BAN them.” cannabis has well-documented medical properties but old white people think smoking it makes you a satanist because of racist government propaganda. hell world

yeah there is a reason i used the term “cannabis” instead of “marijuana” in the post lol. the history behind that latter term is absurd

[strike-another-match]

my toxic trait is that i genuinely believe that the side effects of immortality won't affect me. i have so much stuff i want to learn i won't even notice the centuries go by. also i'm nosey as hell so the decades-deep gossip would keep myself from isolating from human society because i want to know what's going on. i would make such a good vampire i stand by this

"my son turned out fine" fuck you that's my dog and shes eating kibble from my hand right now

[ciggywette]

i got a weed vape that's pink and it has three fucking tanks one with indica one with sativa and one with hybrid all with dumb as shit names like slimer and pink z and shit and you turn it on and it says "choose your player" with options to smoke the indica, the sativa, or the hybrid, or a combination of any two, or all three, at the same fucking time. no matter how short you rip it for you blow a fat cloud and the effect it has is like making you a little unsteady but weirdly totally clearheaded for the first two seconds of hitting it and then the third makes the room spin and makes you vomit everything inside you and then black out. there's a picture of an exploding head on the little display, right next to the blinker counter. you're supposed to hit a blinker on this thing.

you’re going to start liking redneck lesbians immediately. you are going to give me lesbian (and otherwise queer) rep that isn’t rich white idiots at prep schools and shit

[hemipenal-system]

​reblogging this again because some idiot said i was making up a guy to get mad at and i promise im not. the way white queer suburbanites talk about people from Appalachia and the Deep South is fucking vile. i know im not making up a guy because i’ve interacted with about seventy of this guy

[hemipenal-system]

A detail I find really interesting about Chell, GLaDOS, and Wheatley's first confrontation in Portal 2 is when Wheatley starts gloating about taking over the facility. "I did this! Tiny little Wheatley did this!"

And GLaDOS interjects like, "You didn't do this. She did all the work!"

I find that interjection fascinating because. Like.

GLaDOS doesn't actually know anything about what happened behind the scenes. She lost track of Chell and Wheatley after Wheatley opened up a wall panel and they bolted off together into the facility's inner workings. She doesn't see them again until Chell falls for her fake door trap, at which point GLaDOS is unpleasantly surprised to discover that Chell's disabled the turrets and neurotoxin in the meantime.

She has no evidentiary foundation to base that accusation on.

This is also before GLaDOS recognizes Wheatley as the Dumbass Core, so it's not based on an assessment of him.

The only explanation it leaves is that it's based on her assessment of Chell. Despite GLaDOS's enmity towards Chell, the one thing she rarely goes after Chell for is her intelligence.

When she does, it's an admission of her high standards for Chell; Like when the fake door trap works and GLaDOS concedes, "I didn't actually think that would work. I already built a much better, smarter trap up ahead for when this one fails." That's a backhanded insult. It's calling her dumb, but in a disappointed way rather than an affirming way.

Chell tests very well. Between the two games, GLaDOS has developed a strong understanding of Chell's aptitude for critical thinking and problem-solving in stressful situations.

And so she takes it on faith, just from what she knows of Chell, that Wheatley is stealing Chell's credit.
