y'know most people talking about pregnant men are imagining a cis guy in that weird mpreg penis/butthole pregnancy right? this is not some psyop to detransition people this is a fantasy where cis perisex men can be made to suffer in a way that's historically only been for the people they oppress
I'm just gonna post this comment here again.
The same people why cry out catchy slogans like “Death before Detransition!” are the same people who tell trans men it’s actually a privilege to be forcibly detransitioned (a fate formerly acknowledged as being worse than death) rather than being killed
These things exist in the abstract for them and aren’t a real concern

(7/30/26) The Red Cross just declared the second US blood crisis in its history.
Summer sees both a drop off in donations and, at least for our trauma center, a spike in traumas. Trauma centers across the US are in danger of running out of blood for our trauma patients TODAY, which is very scary but, unlike much of the other scary national news coming across our screens these days, is something you can help fix immediately and directly.
We need ASAP donations of blood, for people to spread the word, and for manager types to help facilitate others' donations. All blood types are needed, but universal donor blood (type O) is especially dire.
Useful notes and reminders from the reblogs:
Many things that previously made people ineligible have been rolled back. If you previously thought you were ineligible, please consider checking current guidelines!
While O- is the most dire need as it can be safely given to anyone in an emergency, all types are needed! Our emergent release blood is being pulled for patients who have a high chance of death if they don't get blood within the hour. Once they're stabilized, they can have their type confirmed and get blood of a specific, matching type released to them so that O- can go to the patients who need it most.
Canada is also in a blood shortage, not just the US. Even if you're not in the USA or Canada, maybe check locally, especially if it's summer where you are.
i think we should start openly mocking male creatives who can't figure out how to write women. like actually i think it's embarrassing that it took elliot page transitioning for christopher nolan to give him a good role. why did it take like ten years to get the first female lead in a marvel movie? why is it a Known Fact that stephen king can't write women? why is 50% of the population omitted from large ensemble works? i asked my friend to name a movie directed by a man with a majority female cast and he said ghostbusters 2016. ghostbusters. ghostbusters. g
Elliot Page also starred in Inception before transitioning, and from what I’ve heard is in The Odyssey for less than five minutes, so that’s a really weird example to use. Like, I don’t disagree with the overall point, but why is that the first example? Kind of feels more like criticizing Nolan for hiring a trans actor than actually being about men not able to write women.
Elliot Page is such a good example of how when trans men transition people automatically read privilege into their experiences—them specfically, in a way that singles them out among the sea of cis men they are surrounded with living their lives uncontroversially—when all evidence suggests they are actually experiencing the exact opposite of that. Elliot Page has gotten nothing but hate and scrutinity from the general public and the media and his career has taken some serious damage since coming out.
the very first thing that happens in the movie is Elliot Page's character dies. I understand the confusion, but typically when a minority dies in the first 5 minutes of a movie we consider this to be a Weird Choice and scrutinize people for making it.
reading about emi koyama and bell hooks' experience with racism in feminist/gender studies classes is really affirming for me having had my own experiences with transphobia in those classes. like i knew at the time that the cis woman professor who insisted i was talking over everyone and other students were intimidated by me and i was too advanced and too mean etc etc. was transphobic but its like. wow yeah that's just what those classes are like huh. so much noise made about being inclusive and anti-oppressive and then you try to slightly improve the class discussions by adding a smidgen of actual intersectionality, and suddenly you are the villain of the class because you didn't just regurgitate the cookie cutter white cis bourgeois feminism they wanted to hear.
from hooks' Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center:
In 1981, I enrolled in a graduate class on feminist theory where we were given a course reading list that had writings by white women and men and one black man, but no material by or about black, Native American Indian, Hispanic, or Asian women. When I criticized this oversight, white women directed an anger and hostility at me that was so intense I found it difficult to attend the class. When I suggested that the purpose of this collective anger was to create an atmosphere in which it would be psychologically unbearable for me to speak in class discussions or even attend class, I was told that they were not angry. I was the one who was angry. [...] Often in situations where white feminists aggressively attacked individual black women, they saw themselves as the ones who were under attack, who were the victims. During a heated discussion with another white female student in a racially mixed women’s group I had organized, I was told that she had heard how I had “wiped out” people in the feminist theory class, that she was afraid of being “wiped out,” too. I reminded her that I was one person speaking to a large group of angry, aggressive people; I was hardly dominating the situation. It was I who left the class in tears, not any of the people I had supposedly “wiped out.”
from Koyama's "Racist Feminism at the National Women’s Studies Association":
It was during my second year of college I was first introduced to the writings of Audre in a Women’s Studies course. Throughout the academic term, students read several articles each week, discussed them in the class, and wrote journal entries that reflect on the week’s readings. Week after week, most of the assigned materials were those written by white, middle-class, straight (or sometimes “political lesbian”) women, and I was having difficulty relating to much of what was being discussed. I kept writing in my journal how I didn’t relate to the reading, but I did not realize it had anything to do with the selection of the materials. I felt bad about being so “negative” about feminism and feminists. Toward the end of the term, one week was dedicated to the work of “women of color” (yes, a whole week–woo hoo!). If I remember correctly, it consisted of selections from the anthology This Bridge Called My Back (Combahee River Collective statement, and I think one of the Cherrie Moraga’s pieces) and Audre Lorde’s Sister Outsider. For the first time, these articles spoke to me. They gave voice to my feelings of alienation and frustration that I could not point a finger on. And even though it was just a week out of the entire term, and it is possibly the worst form of tokenism within the discipline, they anchored me to feminism and Women’s Studies to this date. Without Sister Outsider, I may not have been a feminist today. But one week was not enough for me to gain the confidence and strength it took to speak out when I find myself surrounded by white middle-class feminists who seemed oblivious to the emotional pain and sadness their racist or classist statements and actions caused. It was not enough to just read things written by Audre and others like her; I needed to actually construct a support system around me, people of all races and genders who are passionately committed to justice in all aspects of society and to empathically holding each other accountable.
"Elliot Page is getting good roles now because he transitioned" is a take I expect from a Republican complaining about DEI not from gay Tumblr
The list of his work after 2020, when he came out, by the way.
People who think Elliot page is reaping male privilege in his career are on some fucking shit he is such an obvious example of how trans men are treated completely fucking differently than cis men are.
#Sinon is deeply femininely coded in a bad way in the original text (the Aeneid actually bc he’s not in the odyssey) #like its not even subtext he is very explicitly a failure of proper masculinity and honor #ESPECIALLY when all of the traditionally feminine traits are stripped from Odysseus and Sinon retains them
@trans-masked thanks for the insight, I honestly dont know that much about this subject.
Many news sources comment on Nolan's alterations to the role, because he removes many of those underhanded traits and makes him a figure of honor and bravery. imho these changes are still transphobic and misogynistic, because he instead makes Page's Sinoh a naive young solider eager to please and who doesnt know anything about any strategy or deceit. In that way, he's just stripped of agency and his entire role in the story, which makes it strange to choose this character for Page to play except through the lens of transphobia.
Who does Elliot Page play in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey? We explain Page's Sinon, an infamous mythic character who plays a vital role.
Christopher Nolan has made a career out of keeping audiences guessing, and his upcoming epic 'The Odyssey' has been no exception. Since the
Its not that nolan cant import crossover characters, but people's claims that Elliot Page's role in the odyssey is "the first good role nolans given him" when its a cameo of a character from a different story that a casual viewer isnt familiar with and that is clearly not a role he would have given to any cis man is just stupid to me. Elliot Page is 37 and he is cast as a young, naive recruit and described as "terrified" to play the role.
Elliot Page admitted he was terrified to take on the role of Sinon in Christopher Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey."
This is just not how you report on a cis man over 30 playing a role or the role a cis man over 30 typically plays.
Also when people thought the role was actually going to be Achilles, who is also not in the Odyssey and is a well-known queer figure but in popular culture still associated with masculinity (and is at least a character people KNEW), he got enough online backlash it was commented on by news sources. Elon Musk was a huge part of the hate campaign against him and Lupita Nyong'o, singling them both out specifically.
As Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey approaches its 2026 release, actor Elliot Page faces a wave of online toxicity.
Tbc i didn't make this post to call out a specific blogger i was interacting with, I was not only frustrated by the post but then looked up Elliot Page's tag AFTER that interaction and found that a lot of people genuinely believed Nolan wrote him a better character after he transitioned.
This is transphobia, it is a specific kind of transphobia against trans men where they are very obviously treated "not like real men" and deal with misogyny and transphobia most of the time, but when people start talking gender politics theyre "one of the boys."
Lesbians feel so fucking entitled to the bodies of people they're potentially attracted to because they think it's different than when a man does it.
"wymbyn must keep their lovely feminine bodies I want to have sex with and any that don't are delusional and self-harming because of the patriarchy"
"trans women must strive to look like someone I have sex with and any who don't are delusional and self-harming because of the th***abarchy"
Shut up! You're misogynistic freaks! At least when a cis man doesn't find me attractive he just murders me, which is somewhat more appealing a fate than having to continue breathing the same air as a bunch of obnoxious idiots too stupid to know they're recreating patriarchal gender division with extra steps and calling it praxis.
People will whine and complain so much about how trans women apparently aren't allowed to be "genderfucks." YOU will not let them, you fucking dumbass! YOU will not let them mix gendered presentation! YOU have the one dimensional idea of what constitutes a trans woman!

‘Being considered a naive young girl who doesn’t know what’s good for her is better than being considered a monster that needs to be killed’ I knew a trans guy who kept getting institutionalised and essentially tortured for expressing his gender identity. I know other trans men who were considered too broken to save so they were honour-killed or locked away in the dark. Can we just admit that neither category affords human beings much grace at all
I think what gets me about "Society wants trans women dead, and trans men to detransition" is that there's this...potential implication that is very infantilizing to trans men and our struggles.
Many people have pointed out how this idea poses being detransitioned back into being a cis woman as a privilege, or a less cruel fate.
But here's what I think those who believe detrans is better than death are missing, and also what they are implying.
They are missing/ignoring the countless trans men who would fight tooth and nail to remain as trans men. The ones who would refuse to go down without a fight. Who would rather be killed than made into someone's pregnant and barefoot trophy wife. And subsequently the consequences of doing that.
And then the implication is that detransitioning, for trans men, is either "not that bad" or...trans men would just comply. We would be told "You aren't a man, you're a woman, now lay down and get pregnant" and just...accept that? That we are somehow so malleable, so placid, that if enough people told us to stop being men, we just...would?
Like this is just some big game of pretend we're playing, rather than some major part of our identities?
Y'all know what I mean? "Society JUST wants trans men to detransition" as though us trans guys would just huff and sigh begrudgingly as we are institutionalized, forcefully wedded, and so on? That it's some mild inconvenience to be removed of our autonomy, and forced into something we aren't?
That we would just go along with it, while our trans sisters are murdered in the streets??
Like, are you fucking serious?
Again, anyone else getting this vibe from these people who really downplay this shit? "JUST detransition" like "JUST put on your dress so we can go to Church already!!" as though we're a bunch of fussy children who are throwing tantrums over silly things? It's so fucking gross, and while I would hope that's not what these people mean, I think many of us have also seen how eager these people are to infantilize trans men and transmascs.
Pre transition: pressured to not be assertive or confident because it's too mannish
Post transition: pressured to not be assertive or confident because it's too mannish
All pronouns should be respected and it includes neopronouns. Neopronouns are amazing and are as beautiful and valid as any other pronouns. Don't change your pronouns for the sake of others. Be proud and don't feel ashamed while correcting people. You should be gendered properly, no matter who you are.
The whole of Patagonia is gonna get sold to Israel and no one will even care because of the "nazis fled to argentina eighty years ago" hollywood psyop
Meanwhile they're still arguing whether the name Patagonia belongs to a brand or a drag queen... Well it sure as her won't belong to the people who live there, much less to the native mapuches, our president and netanyahu will make sure of it.

Please stop reblogging conspiracy theories yall
This post isn't about the plan andinia texts from the past century though, it's about the current Ley de Tierras project (which is a real thing going on in our congress!! you can look it up!!) and the people milei conducts businesses with. Do you even live here or do you just get everything from Wikipedia in english?
Either way friendly reminder that Plan Condor was pretty much regarded as a conspiracy theory until the CIA straight up admitted to doing it. The 1953 Iranian coup as well. Or the Syphilis epidemic in Guatemala.
I know the term conspiracy theory sounds like religious brainwashing or other ways of mass manipulation and as such is a very... Sensationalist label to put on things. The global north knows this too which is why every indirect form of colonialism that the CIA later declassified any involvement in was previously deemed by the shapers of public speech as a conspiracy theory.
Truth is however that I don't know and I don't care if there was even feasible proof of a project way back in the 40s to settle the State of Israel in Patagonia instead of Palestine (it doesn't make much sense to me given they wanted Jerusalem as the Torah indicates) and this post isn't about that, it's about the here and now, like.
Is anyone else concerned that the government with the tightest historical ties to the government of Israel and Israeli enterprises in our history is presenting a law reform that could potentially allow for most of our natural resources and strategic percentages of land to be sold at a time where Israeli resources are scarce? Or like, is it just me?
This post is hyperbolizing of course but not by that much
And what if I said nonbinary people or anyone who goes by anything but she/her or he/him face a specific and unavoidable amount of transphobia online that binary trans people or people who use binary pronouns don't. Would the trans community kill me? Would the exorsexists get a little mad?
