i was going through my phone trying to find a specific picture for art reference and i found some pictures of myself from last summer before i got sick. and man i’m still so mad i lost all that weight and muscle. that was the healthiest i’ve looked in my entire life, it took so long to build it up, and it was just fucking gone within a matter of weeks. it’s been like 9 months since i’ve finished treatment but i’m still not back to my full strength or how i looked beforehand. it just sucks. it really sucks

that post going around about how monoculture has made it easier than ever to be a snob isn’t incorrect but i refuse to see this as a positive thing. it SHOULD take more than disliking disney blockbusters to be considered an elitist cinema cunt. that’s right i’m gatekeeping gatekeeping

ah yes, the false binary of everyone who is a trans woman, and everyone else who is not a trans woman.

just like the evil oppressive binary of gingers vs non gingers. or left handed people vs everyone else. or people from Baltimore vs people who aren't from Baltimore. or Ryan Gosling vs every single other human being on the planet.

you people lost the plot on why the gender binary is bad. you think that its oppressive because there's just two categories. not that its oppressive because its a symptom of the patriarchy to abuse women, promote misogyny, and punish nonconformaty.

you hate the number two, instead of hating oppositional sexism. you have no understanding of basic gender theory, and are identical to the common transmisogynist.

so of course you loose your fucking minds when you are presented with a short hand that means "people primarily affected by transmisogyny, which includes trans women, transfems, nonbinary people, intersex people, genderqueer people, both who have and haven't fully come out yet. VS. cis men. trans men. cis women. nonbinary people. intersex people. genderqueer people. closeted and otherwise. of all orientations. and literally every other person who wasn't identified in the first category"

People who hate TMA/TME, ask yourselves this:

Do you hate the disabled/non-disabled dichotomy or are you just a transmisogynist.

Do you hate the queer/cishet dichotomy or are you just a transmisogynist.

Do you hate the neurotypical/neurodivergent dichotomy or are you just a transmisogynist.

Do you hate the white/non-white dichotomy or are you just a transmisogynist.

Do you hate the intersex/perisex dichotomy or are you just a transmisogynist.

i can’t believe people ever called tumblr an echo chamber or a “hugbox”, i have never in my life been exposed to a group of people so thirsty to disagree with you. why did someone just say they wished they could crucify me bc i said i liked oat milk best. we all need to learn some lessons about friendship here

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

what if it all worked out in my favour

some people like to get mad at disability benefits because they think its unfair people who dont work get a payout from the government while they have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week. but if you tell them "yeah that sucks i think you should also get a universal allowance and not have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week" thats apparently the wrong answer.

sometimes i see an article or something and i'm like should i drop my hottest take of all time. because this is crazy

[nepenthean-sleep]

ok this is my hot take. ffs is misogynistic, and honestly kind of a pinnacle of transmisogyny and eugenics in my opinion. trans men aren't being told they need to have their whole face surgically altered in order to be "men" enough. trans women have the goalposts for their femininity set so far out that they're being asked to spend tens of thousands of dollars on their face as part of gender affirming care. this is legitimately crazy to me and honestly downright cruel. blood coming out of my eyes like the mary oliver poem "you do not have to get ffs. you do not have to break all the bones in your face to satisfy white supremacist misogynistic beauty standards. you only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves (LOVE YOURSELF)" etc etc and yes i know WHY some trans women pursue ffs and i'm not shaming anyone who wants to get it or has gotten it. it's just such an insane double standard to me, especially when so many pictures of pre- or no-ffs trans women look exactly like any random cis woman to me. your face is already feminine!! it came free with your womanhood!!

every now n then i think about how native americans as human beings just dont exist in like 99% of mainstream media. in movies or tv shows or books or video games or you know even in porn like we just arent people. when theres a native character theyre like a wild west indian. like truly to ppl we all died back in the 1900s.
