Humans decide what is Real and what Is Not

28, Trans, She/Her Bad at Tagging, Worse at Posting

I was possessed to do this shitpost (Vintage story is a great game and you will want to punt SO many drifters in it)

Damm, it really shows how consoles are just proprietary restricted PCs these days

[soup-mother]

probably should have seen it coming I guess but it's pretty fucking annoying everyone saw a conversation about "people don't understand how difficult it is clothes shopping as a trans woman" and proceeded to show just how much they don't understand it by assuming it's only about sizing and not the constant societal surveillance and inability to use the change rooms and fear of being kicked out of the story and unwillingness even for friends to recognise that there's barriers in your way and try and help you.

even people trying to commiserate with me complaining about the dumb responses assumed that it was just about sizing. and phrased it all like "you're so seen and valid". fucking christ.

wow it's almost like people don't understand how challenging it is clothes shopping even years into transition as a trans woman! who could have guessed??????

[soup-mother]

Not the strongest comparison here but

"It's incredibly difficult and challenging using public bathrooms as a transgender woman and it should be obvious why if you have paid attention to anything ever"

"Girl I feel you, welcome to womanhood. sometimes the seats are gross or someone's left something on the floor, we all experience this, you're so valid for this"

(meanwhile I'm lucky if I'm not immediately stopped upon entering)

with clothes it's like ok cool but you might notice that you are wearing womens clothes from the clothes store that you bought and were able to try on before buying and weren't called a pervert and/or pedophile over it. meanwhile I am not. so maybe this is not actually "something all women experience" or just about sizing yes?

[ribstongrowback]

hope this isn't derailing but i think that this is heavily shaped by this condescending attitude people have about trans women's womanhood. they treat us like little girls discovering every aspect of being a woman instead of understanding us as adults who can have fully formed and informed opinions and analysis about our lived experience.

folks assume we have everything to learn about being women, because the idea that they would have anything to learn from us about it or about being a trans woman is simply too ridiculous to even cross their mind.

I really like how the scientology speedrunning trend is developing, in this clip we see that the participants are

Not deterred by the closed door

Working as a group

Protecting their identities

Inflicting material costs to the institution via property destruction

Getting away at the end

These ideas were not all here from the beginning. They are genuinely gaining experience that can be applied elsewhere

"Scam" you mean people are fighting back against housing discrimination??? I don't think these people know what the word scam means

Scams are designed to trick someone into giving up money based on lies. This is just.. asking for information then legally enforcing the law??

Fuck landlords

[imjunebitch]

actually fucking disgusting that glasses cost any money like if you actually think about it for more than a few seconds it is so unconscionably inhumane. this goes for things like insulin and mobility aids and hearing aids too ofc but fuck man, fucking glasses? the thing you need to fucking see? its genuinely sickening and inhumanly evil that those cost ANYTHING.

Mutual Aid Request

Any signal boosting or giving would be very kind, thank you! https://gofund.me/501d7fd46

To everyone who thinks "wow this is so violent, gross" - consider that this happens to multiple REGULAR people every day when they're diagnosed with cancer. Oh, not the shark part, but the having to throw all their worldly resources at the equally rapacious predators of the medical billing and insurance industries or they'll die in pain, drowning or both.

I am dead fucking serious. A serious car accident or a major illness is how a lot of the "working" homeless get that way. They played payment roulette with the wrong bills that subsequently snowballed while they were too sick to work/in the 'donut hole' of spend-down before you qualify for medicaid and lost everything.

Bankrupting 3 billionaires to keep literally hundreds of thousands of people housed, fed and part of the social safety net? yeah. don't threaten ME with a good time.

I feel like a lot of people engaging in torture are not treating their victims as if they could have blood borne pathogens 🤔

Is what my wife said apropo of nothing as we were silently drifting off to sleep

[the-sacred-now]

Uh oh

Is what she said when I immediately reached for my phone and opened Tumblr instead of responding

[the-sacred-now]

@everything-you-feel-is-real I know by tumblr tradition that I'm to say "impossible, my posts never blow up like that," or "please don't do this to me."

But I feel in my bones that you are right. If this is to be my wife's moment of glory, I am willing to suffer notification overload, that the world may know she is funny. #MyFunnyWife

Trans women making 60 cents to trans men's 70 cents is about 15% difference, literally more than the 10% gap between queer men and women pay that the same report found and people are trying to act like it doesn't matter

[maidthings]

Pretending like you can't understand how a wage gap works is a classic part of the misogynist's toolkit

Goat girls. Horns. Sideways pupils. Ability to scale near 180 degree walls. Very good.

I hate the pattern of specific animal girl being popular among trans women, peoppe deciding it’s cringe and mocking trans girls until they stop, and then a new animal being picked and the cycle continuing. The various animal girls need to stand in solidarity with one another. And the slime girls and robot girls and everything else too.

[frostops]

stop framing the decrease of popularity in catgirls and the subsequent increase in popularity of dog/puppygirls are a conflict between the two groups when the exact same harassment that caused people to stop becoming catgirls is also being directed at the puppy girls all the time.

[closet-keys]

the primary censorship function of "sensitive content" filters has turned it into a very bizarre roulette game.

something marked sensitive content is:

49% - a post that is a bit too critical of imperialism 49% - a trans woman posting literally anything 2% - close up photo of someone's hairy asshole

[boccher]

transmisogynists like to say a lot of uncharitable things about how growing up transfem is like in my experience it's like you put a girl into a box surrounded by boys 5 days a week and let those boys do anything to her free of consequence and if she complains then everyone tells her that it's her fault for not trying hard enough to fit in with the boys and be like them and she is actually socially privileged to be allowed to grow up around boys and they lock her in the box
