Musings Under Starlight

Rad-leaning. I may unfollow if I see distressing or gory images (no hard feelings just for my mental health). I also unfollow anyone who reblogs from racists. I will block anyone who uses or defends the r-word. I may occasionally reblog art that features nudity or eroticism and will tag NSFW according to my best judgment.

I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

Give yourself the treat before you start. I'm serious. And ideally during the task and afterwards too.

Executive dysfunction comes from a lack of available dopamine. Common advice is wrong. You need to provide your own dopamine before you can start. Otherwise you're trying to run your car on empty.

"But what if I still don't do it" well you already weren't getting it done anyway. Now you have a little treat. Try again later.

You deserve kindness and care even when you aren't being productive.

as part of the transfem voices project, mousidy felt the need to highlight the voice of a woman who, as a 12 year old boy addicted to loli pornography, molested an 8 year old girl and spent years in the juvenile detention system as a result. this woman is now a 30 year old self-admitted pedophile, enabled by parents (whose support she credits with keeping her alive) who have seemingly coddled her every step of the way, including somehow allowing their child the means to easily access pornography after molesting another child, who now self-flagellates on tumblr about how much she wants to die because people would want her dead just knowing that she is a pedophile. not even based on the fact that she was a 12 year old boy that molested an 8 year old girl.

she loosely connects her story to transmisogyny at the end by going "well idk if I faced transmisogyny before I came out but I did after I'm so scared because transmisogynists would call me a pedophile and they would be right everyone wants me dead I can't be pedojacketed because I have the jacket on :("

great #OwnVoices job, team. knocked it out of the park. hit the showers.

if you are able, consider donating to a group like Survivors of Incest Anonymous, which helps provide a safe space for victims of CSA, including victims of COCSA, to talk about and heal from their experiences.

Hey, look who commented on that exact post.

if he's a child-molesting man, maybe don't refer to him as a "she" and a "woman", if ya know, he's a MAN? food for thought!

The fact that they get so angry when people aren’t even “misgendering” them. Play by their rules and they still find something else.

Narcissistic, sociopathic abusers.

"wouldn't your eyelashes look better covered in clumpy crusty black gunk? just look at the difference!"

[fresh-entity]

if you look on the left, each woman has her own unique eye shape. their eyelashes grow in different patterns. one has blonde eyelashes, the others have brown/black. this difference is flattened and stripped away by the mascara. on the left are normal human eyes, on the right are parodies.

it's also worth considering the health risks of putting chemicals on your body, especially on your eyes:

Y'all realize trans men were historically included in lesbianism only by virtue of exclusion towards trans women, right? Yhat's not a thing to be celebrated or emulated.

Hell, TERF as a term was coined specifically to refer to the supporters and attendees of the Michivan Wombyn's Festival. Which gladly welcomed trans men in with open arms but turned away trans women because as the name suggests they're idea of a "Real Woman" is an AFAB, regardless of gender identity. Its transmisogynistic as fuck.

[bookwyrmbutch]

so you agree that the people you call terfs are not trans exclusionary, because as you just stated we welcome trans men into our spaces? and therefore you understand that the people we exclude are males, because we're feminists who care about the rights and protections of female people and males people have oppressed female people for thousands of years? great, glad we sorted that out

[musingsunderstarlight]

Uh-oh, looks like OP is a terf!

[fearlessfeministcat]

so you're just out here identifying people by their genitals first and foremost and then somehow trying to claim that at feminist? girl your conservatism is showing

As opposed to identifying people by their thoughts and feelings that are so subjective they can change at any minute??

[sichorean]

The thing is really if there WAS a fucking "genocide of trans individuals" happening, you'd think the evil shadow government would be targeting the fucking awful ones first to get everyone else on board.

Like "they came first for the pedopuppygirls and I said nothing because I was not a pedopuppygirl"

Literally all the cops would have to do is haul them in and point to their own tumblr posts about little sister incest or tweets about how "rape is affirming" and all the "normies" would go "yeah okay woodchipper that thang"

But for some reason y'all keep making your little sister incest posts and you keep mailing death and rape threats, and you keep sending pictures of your shrivelled dicks to women and keep going out in misogynistic "sexy school-girl" outfits. None of you "living in fear of genocide" have changed your creepy fetish habits.

So either your euphoria boner is a stronger feeling than the fear of death, or perhaps you're just aware that you're a male with all the privilege and safety that provides you, and you're not scared at all, but pretending you are gains you useful idiots.
