this is my fave post on this whole website

[witchswards]

a lie, a lullaby

[mousidy]

saw someone talking about a trans woman they used to know who was "housebound because of her anxiety" who would go down conspiratorial rabbit holes and develop delusions...

and then he was like "interestingly I've never met a transmasc or nonbinary person who was like this 🤔🤔🤔"

and like...? you already identified the reason, didn't you? of course trans women are more likely to develop a debilitating fear of being in public??

[mousidy]

for a year I had a roommate who was a trans woman like this, and I will admit that by the end of that year my patience was worn all the way through several times over, but I can't for a second tell you it didn't make sense. she had an incredibly traumatic history of homelessness that had wrecked her health, and she was much more visibly trans than I. the only people who would tolerate her, for the most part, were using her, and when she put her foot down about that, she was left with no one

the world had proven itself incredibly hostile to her, and though I tried to help her overcome this, it became clearer and clearer over time that I was speaking to her from a place of relative privilege, even as another trans woman. the world really was different for her than it was for me

[mousidy]

transmisogynized people (black transmisogynized people especially!) are killed at incredibly high rates compared to people who are TME, both by murderers and by ourselves. this is reflective of a world that outright fucking hates us. if you need an explanation as to why some of us are so paranoid it destroys us... there you go?

[mousidy]

just another of the million reasons I'm over the "oppression olympics" claims when trans women talk about transmisogyny. if you shut your eyes to the unique oppression we face then of course we look like a bunch of needlessly combative, paranoid fucks. without an understanding of transmisogyny, the answer to "I wonder why I've never met a trans man who's like this" is "I guess trans women are just inherently irrational"

(losing a trinket important to me): it’s just plastic. It’s just material. Someone else will find it and it’ll brighten up their day. If i really want to i can replace it. Loss is natural in love. Life isn’t fair and i’ll tear up earth and sky if i knew i could find you again under the covers of my pillows. But like, it’s $16.67 to replace. I’m okay.

[i-am-a-fan]

you have to realize that you CAN keep everything perfect and safe, but you’ll never get to fully enjoy them. Sweaters get stretched. Stuffed animals get worn. Earrings get lost. and love turns to grief. If i want to be happy, i have to know that sadness is the little brother who holds her hand.

[i-am-a-fan]

Nvm. Trinket was found and i’m now keeping it locked up forever so i can’t ever lose it again

If you’re using Skype you should dump it and get Discord instead!

Pros:

Cleaner, easier to navigate interface

Free servers for more permanent group chat things (way easier to hop in and out of chats)

You can actually have different nicknames on each server if you want

Is actually well built and doesn’t make your computer yearn for death

Stuff coming down the pipeline soon according to devs:

Video chat

Linux client

Cons:

All your friends aren’t on it

But you can change that

Download it. It’s great and it’s only getting better. It’s aimed at gamers but it has nearly all the functionality of Skype and then some.

[tehjai]

Since Discord first became a thing, it has added:

friends lists

group chats

changeable statuses

search function

and a hell of a lot more!  Also this is a huge shout out to any of my friends who still use Skype – I don’t use it, I use Discord.  Mail me and I’ll shoot you my details :)

[gauntletqueen]

Also the audio quality is just way better and more consistent than Skype’s.

[teatimejess]

Discord uses it’s own servers to host calls instead of relying on a user host like skype :0

REAL masculinity is about [traits and behaviors that anyone can have that youre gendering for reasons that are ultimately misogynistic]

[corrucyst]

Ok so let me clarify my point here: Youre stupid

[corrucyst]

in seriousness though there is no way to position a "virtuous" ideal of masculinity to supplant patriarchal ideals of masculinity without reaffirming those patriarchal ideals. straight up you need to stop thinking "am i being a Man correctly? am i performing Masculinity right?" or "that guy isnt being a REAL man because hes not KIND or whatever" no matter what specific way you define masculinity
