Kay I'm really sick of this "masculinity is a prison" bullshit.

I'm a gay trans man, I've found my expression masculinity and defined it for myself. It makes me feel whole in a way femininity never did. I have aspects of femininity sprinkled into my masculinity but my masculinity is still masculinity. If it's not for you it's not for you, you don't have to be masculine if you don't want to be. But stop demonizing an entire form of gender expression and sexuality. You're not being progressive.

Patriarchy is a prison.

Masculinity is beautiful.

Sometimes being fictionkin is not being able to start/finish your source for some indiscernible reason

I love when bisexuals say "I swing both ways!" because then I just imagine asexuals perching on an unmoving swing, staring uncomfortably deep into your very soul as you try to climb the jungle gym.

Asexual bis are doing this

I had no way to describe this with words I hope this illustrates

[luulapants]

actually once you do vote by mail once, it feels STUPID that in-person voting is even a thing. getting to sit with your ballot in your house, easily see your options, have time to do research and consider your choice, talk with friends and neighbors about their vote. it's especially so for small local elections and primaries where you might not have heard about different candidates and really have to ask around, attend local events, or dig into local news stories to find out who they are and what they stand for. but, of course, not allowing voters to easily research and carefully consider their votes is why there is opposition to vote by mail in the first place.

Trying to unlearn internalized sexism is really hard when like literally everybody around you is a bio/gender essentialist weird

[occidental-wolf]

do not howl in natural areas that contain wolves. yes, even if you are a wolf yourself. and certainly do not try to call and response with their howls.

it can be incredibly distressing to suddenly hear the howl of a strange wolf in their territory, especially if you happen to be near a den site (which you may not be aware of).

if someone entered your home and started making strange noises that sound like "i am here" "i am in your home" you'd be pretty distressed too.

and on the other side, if you were a wolf knowingly in another wolf's territory. think. would you want to broadcast your location and risk getting hunted, chased off, and potentially torn apart? no.

please do not disturb the locals.

it is also illegal to do so on park lands in the US.

Giggling to myself over doing that "turning transphobic posts in pro trans posts via blackout poetry" thing for the first time

[sabres-tiger]

Dreaming of having a local alterhuman community but also. The ableists

[sabres-tiger]

Look I get that "we have to talk about trans joy or people won't know it exist!" Is good spirited but I genuinely wouldn't wish being trans on my worst enemy

[ceruleanheaven]

brought nothing to the gun fight. whatever man

[theribbitkin]

Calling all alterhumans

Okay close your eyes for a second and imagine you could get species-affirming surgery. What’s the first thing you’re doing? Or would you even get anything done at all? Me personally, I’d be getting my feathers back. I miss them. Or id do something to make me look more like Ribbit.

What about you?

[sabres-tiger]

That "haha I wish we could swap" thing but I have like cute lil pink lips I wanna swap with some trans chick with like thin less flushed lips because I think if a girl had them she'd be adorable but I hate them

[transfaguette]

when you’re a little girl boys will say “so if boys and girls are equal that means I get to hit you right?”

and then you grow up to be a trans man and people will say to you “oh i thought you wanted to be a man, that means you have to put up with [abusive behavior]”

and they will tell you these 2 things do not stem from the same desires of gendered punishment and control

[transfaguette]

#cis men view trans men as women they can hit without scrutiny #and cis women view trans men as men they can hit without consequences

Maybe I'm on Tumblr too much but it never occurred to me that those "number1toesucker" type usernames on tiktok were ironic

The reason modern dating doesn't work is because no one wants to be bro romantically anymore

[cadetterrified]

I actually don’t fuck with the idea that a queer group needs to have enough “culture” to be valuable or for their oppression to be harmful. What a dumb fucking sentiment. I can’t believe I’m here responding to discourse over the idea that if a legally oppressed and massively at risk group doesn’t have enough music you like then they’re worthless and deserve their oppression and worse. If this is your argument I honestly slot you outside of misinformed or overly exclusive and all the way into “I don’t think I’d ever trust you to be a true ally to anyone or actually care about oppression, I think you’re just fanning for the concept of a community.”
