oh trans twins you scientific GOLDMINE... absolute blessing to the world of medical research on a level that is barely comprehendible... the same age and same genes and can be tested in the same experiment conditions simultaneously? one independent hormonal variable? absolutely magical oh my goodness gracious
taboo kinks like pedophilia/rape/incest are not innate to transfemininity or to queerness or to autism and this current wave of attempts to naturalize them as such is alarming and suspicious
i want to add because people are rightly pointing it out in the tags that this is a white phenomenon and that the taboos i listed are not actually taboo to white heteropatriarchy
She's also publicly stated that she believes that anyone who reads her books or watches her shows and films does so because they explicitly agree with her political views.
There's no "agree to disagree" with her work. Every time you pick up her work or talk about it you are saying to her "I agree with you Joanne" whether you like it or not.

"top surgery scars" includes the trans girl with sick lines under its F-size boob job. btw.
the whole reason i made this post in the first place is the semantic monopoly that breast reductions qua transmasc synecdoche have on the phrase "top surgery". breast reduction is almost always the assumed interpretation, to the point that people regularly misunderstood me when I would say I was getting top surgery despite the numerous contextual cues available to them suggesting otherwise. scarring aesthetics as they manifest in trans art likewise demonstrate a singular focus on the breast reduction scar as a medical trophy, while breast augmentation is something to be obscured, hidden post-hoc, invisible lest the girl look fake, plastic, too doll of a doll. so actually, just this one time, it's not about you.
it's clear that some women looked at a white gender conforming woman being rewarded for wearing a power suit and immediately translated that to "imitating masculinity gives women an amount of privilege" instead of "both masculinity and gender-conformity are seen as synonymous to competence, where gender-conformity is prioritised in most cases. being allowed to push against that conformity is a privilege only afforded to those who conform in most other senses". with the caveat that all this is incredibly contextual of course.
Gendered parenting is so weird. As a little kid I was a total daddy's girl, I was told I would always try to sneak into the garage, I was always very interested in everything he was doing and would follow him around while he was working, but while my family was never the type to outright say "you can't do that because you're a girl", they simply didn't entertain the idea that I could possibly be interested in cars. Then when my little brother was born, it was just assumed he would become a mechanic like our dad because he was a boy. Even though he, unlike me, didn't like being in the garage much and wasn't all that interested in what dad was doing. Once he got to a certain age, dad started making him help and would drag him away from his actual interests for it, which lead to a lot of arguing and not much actual learning.
Gendered expectations sort of create doubles of children. There's the real child with their actual personality, interests and behaviors, and then there's the Gender Child.
My real brother hated soccer and team sports. The Gender Child that existed only the minds of the adults in his life needed to play soccer because that's what a Boy Child does.
Growing up, I always felt like adults didn't actually know me as a person and they weren't interested in getting to know me. Because they felt they'd already learned everything there was to know about me when they were told "it's a girl".
When I talk about how I never got gifts I actually liked from my relatives (to this day I still don't like getting gifts that aren't something I picked out myself), it isn't actually about the gifts themselves. I don't even remember them. What I do remember is the feeling of being given gifts that were seemingly not bought with the real me in mind. They were for the Girl Child™️ version of me. The me that adults wanted me to be, not who I actually was.
yes hello i would like to emphasize this
disgust is not a moral issue
as a trans man, calling myself a "full-grown man" in front of cis people and watching their reaction is a great litmus test for their attitudes towards transmasculinity
sometimes (way more often than i'd like) cis people who consider themselves "allies" or transfriendly or however they wanna put it still see trans men as confused little girls and personally i will shake that notion out of every cis person i interact with one way or another
The opposite of that for me is referring to childhood me as a little girl. Even the most self-disciplined closet transmisogynist, cis or otherwise, won't sit still for that. For some reason it sets them off.
!!! so true. i have a friend who does the same thing and you can see "mAlE soCiaLizAtIoN" people's veins popping in real time
"trans women cant have periods" "trans womens breasts are unnatural" im starting to think some of you actually dont think of physiology as inherently mutable and the sex binary as an imprecise approximation
and i cant help but think that its downstream of the way "female" traits are politicized and scrutinized. maybe im just not in the right spaces but i dont see talk about how transmasc beards are "thick with hormones".
this is why the answer to "periods are gross and weird and shameful" is not actually "periods are a divine blessing that unite us under True Womanhood" but "periods are a natural process like breathing and sweating and pooping that is going to happen and we as a society need to accept amd prepare for it".
a very small but very annoying portion of my local drag scene is Discoursing™️ about how if you're not a lesbian you shouldn't perform chappell roan songs and it's the dumbest shit i have ever heard. im just gonna say here and now that if i perform a number and you come up to me after it to interrogate me about my identity to determine if im the Right Flavor of queer or if i need to be gatekept, im gonna ask if you're a fucking cop.
Is transitioning from male to female to become a butch lesbian a reasonable option?
it is beyond reasonable, it is one of the coolest things you can do on this bitch of an earth
Researchers from the University of Indianapolis are investigating the experiences of queer individuals and their usage of social media, specifically the ways in which people use social media to facilitate identity development. If you are an adult (18 years or older) who are questioning their gender or sexual identity or who identify with a gender or sexuality that is non-cisgender or non-heterosexual, you are invited to take our survey! You can skip questions or exit the survey at any point, and it won’t cost you anything besides your time. There are no direct benefits to you, but your participation will help up is our research. In appreciation, you will be given the option to enter a drawing for one of four $20 Amazon gift cards. Participation is voluntary, and all responses will be kept confidential. If you choose to enter the drawing for a gift card, your email will be separated from your responses and will not be used for any other purpose.
