My friends are obsessed with this and now I can't stop thinking about it.

WHAT DO YOU MEEEEEEAAAAAAAN

WHAT DO YOU MEAN POPSTAR BUNNYGIRL EMISUBA

MERCH I NEED NOW. I AM DEAD

[liquidstar]

It's not life or death, not really anyway, but I need to transition, and I can't afford it. I have outstanding medical bills aside from that too (my stupid work insurance makes me pay the first $1,000 out of pocket). I'm mid-move right now and money is tight. There's so much going on. But mostly I want to fund my transition.

It's embarrassing to ask, because it feels like I "should" be doing this myself, but I also think that this kinda stuff is what community is for. So if you're able and willing, I really would appreciate mutual aid. Again, it's not urgent, don't break your bank, I'm going to try to save on my end either way.

My links have my deadname, ignore it!

Paypal and venmo

I'm also willing to do commissions at a discount with the understanding that they'll likely take a long time with my work+health currently. Those should be linked in my bio

Thank you everyone, I love you

[liquidstar]

Thank you so much to everyone who's been helping I hope I can eventually give back in some way

Also wanna shout out the multiple people who've been leaving the memo "ego renegade boy" 😭 love you guys

[liquidstar]

Hi everyone unfortunately I am back

I have good news, which is that I finally managed to make an appointment and get a prescription, and I'm making progress!

But the bad news is insurance is kinda fucking me over again. There's a copay of over 100 dollars for getting my HRT and other medications.

Again it's not life or death, but if you like my silly posts or the things I make and you wanna support me, transitioning is the most important thing keeping me going right now. So as long as it's something you're comfortable with I would really really appreciate the help.

I've only been able to get this far because of everyone's support and kindness. Things are rough but looking up, and I'm trying my best. Thank you everyone, I love you

Male socialization is such an evil rhetoric. Yeah I guess not transitioning at the age of 5 is my fault and I'm evil for it. Yeah I guess not having the childhood I wish I did means I'm a danger and I should perpetually apologize for it

[zedogica]

"The fact that socialization is a specious argument became obvious to me during an exchange I had with a trans-woman-exclusionist who insisted that my being raised male was the sole reason in her mind for me to be disqualified from entering women-only spaces. So I asked her if she was open to allowing trans women who are anatomically male but who have been socialized female — something that’s not all that uncommon for MTF children these days. She admitted to having concerns about their attending. Then, I asked how she would feel about a person who was born female yet raised male against her will, and who, after a lifetime of pretending to be male in order to survive, finally reclaimed her female identity upon reaching adulthood. After being confronted with this scenario, the woman conceded that she would be inclined to let this person enter women-only space, thus demonstrating that her argument about male socialization was really an argument about biology after all. In fact, after being pressed a bit further, she admitted that the scenario of a young girl who was forced against her will into boyhood made her realize how traumatic and dehumanizing male socialization could be for someone who was female-identified. This, of course, is exactly how many trans women experience their own childhoods."

"X did nothing wrong" actually no, X did a lot of things wrong. X fucked up. But I also know that people like X live their lives under a microscope, and that accusations against them tend to get magnified by bias both conscious and unconscious alike, and frankly it scares the crap out of me that you have not only chosen not to question what you've heard, but that you are seeking such drastically disproportionate vengeance on a total stranger. that's not normal.

[puppygirllaika]

this post has generated a staggering number of comments/replies/asks all saying some version of "Nice try laundering your argument, but we all know you're talking about [specific person], and i hate you for defending them." and literally none of them have correctly identified who i was thinking about when I wrote this, but all of them have named a trans woman as said specific person.

Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

Are you safe?

Absolutely not. I'm dead. 100% dead.

I might stay alive, but it'll be a really close thing.

I'll take some hits, for certain, but I should be okay in the end.

A few attacks might get through, but nothing concerning.

The attacker might be able to get in one lucky hit. If that.

I am the opposite of worried. I'm 100% safe.

…Look. I've tried picturing this. But I honestly don't know how to answer.

(I've run this poll twice before, expanding it significantly for the second run. With about a year passed since that second run, I thought it was time to add another couple hundred names to the list and have another go.)

[princesssarisa]

What is your middle name?

The name of one of my parents

The name of a relative or ancestor

The name of a friend of a parent

My mother's maiden name

A religious figure's name

Just a name my parents liked

Other

I don't have a middle name

Remaining time: 3 days 9 hours

I'm Option #1: My middle name is my mom's name. But I'd like to know if that practice is very common or not.

we are NOT bringing 4chan incel terminology to this site, take that "foid" out of your post and go wash your blog out with soap

[experiment41]

the same sentiment goes for words like "theyfab" by the way. even if this post is primarily about misogyny, making up words to mock nonbinary persons who "post femininely" or "don't pass" or whatever is transphobic (and dareisay still somewhat misogynistic to denote someone as "girly" for the way they post) and still stems from the same general source. especially when it's used in the context that I usually see it used, wherein the target has not posted about their gender at birth at all and people on here still assume "afab" because they post about "girly" topics (or use they/them at all; there's definitely a weird trend on here where people just assume somebody using gender neutral pronouns must be afab). Cut from the same cloth, same shit different toilet. you go wash your blog out with soap too.

hung out with my young cousin today and she showed me "soul bug school" which is the gap between her toy chest and the wall where she secretly puts every dead bug she finds in the house

Need to be taken apart and reassembled like a broken watch . Not in a sex way I just think they should put my joints together right this time

[primarybufferpanel]

Ohhh the fantasy of all your bones being put into one of those ultrasonic cleaning baths they use for jewelry. All the pain coming clouding out like dirt. Then carefully reassembled and joints oiled and then it would all just work perfectly and painlessly...

Like, I know that's not what's wrong with me but I think we should try just to be sure
