Hi speaking of medical literacy for trans people, transfems pls check out the website Transfeminine Science, especially their introductory article on feminizing HRT

There's a certain kind of person who's really proud of their taste in video games and that taste in video games is anything that cost more than $80 for the latest playstation

Like your taste in video games is that you own the latest playstation.

(and perhaps only experience life from a fixed over the shoulder view.)

Sorry to be the one to tell you this but the "masculinity" of butch lesbians is just as arbitrary and poorly defined as that of men.

How exactly are we defining it here? It's a handful of visual signifiers wrapped up with some behaviours that are only gendered because of misogny in the first place. What does it mean for ppl who dress and act in certain ways but definitely *don't* want to be seen as "masculine" for it? Are we gonna start doing "moshpit rules" instead of thinking about it serously?

Dress how you want, but you shrimply don't need to call it masculinity!

Before the storm is super janky, especially the remaster, but in spite of the jank I've actually been really liking it. I kinda feel like it almost works better without as much supernatural stuff, it's pretty decent at being a story about powerless teenagers trying to deal with their shitty lives. Also they're gay! Good for them.

I like that the viewer in the "steampunk twins find you crying" video is gender neutral "they", but it absolutely 100% is your boyfriend specifically who's gonna be scrap metal by the time they're done with him. A pillar of anti-Jakey cultural work

Victoria Chase looks a lot like a guy who bullied me in middle school and it's certainly something I feel about.

i don't think bodily autonomy for minors should be a luck of the draw type thing where you have to cross your fingers that your parents are chill about it.

I'm torn between whether Tohsaka rin could have done 9/11 with magic (Gem magic can melt steel beams) or if she couldn't have done 9/11 because that would involve interacting with technology more recent than a typewriter. I'm leaning towards the second option

[soup-mother]

gilgamesh could have done it with his stupid fucking UFO thing he has in fate zero.

archer could have done it without a doubt

emiya shirou would try and stop 9/11

kiritsugu would do 9/11 just to kill one guy even just by butterfly effect

sakura would do 9/11 if it helped her deal with her sister complex

shinji would get stopped at the airport and detained

The great mystery of Fate/Stay night: "wait so is it shirou or Illya who's meant to be pretty fly for a white guy? I'm not sure from that AMV"

[soup-mother]

Everyone in fate initially has beef with shirou because his dad was a weird little terrorist, and then they get to know him better and decide that shirou is worse and needs to die

[soup-mother]

every now and then someone goes "why didn't kiritsugu simply teach shirou proper magic? is he stupid?" and it's entertaining to watch the fallout of every time

[soup-mother]

"why didn't he just give shirou his magic crest?" ok SO.....

cw/tw transphobia, transmisogyny, and violent hate crime

I'm of two minds writing this since, to my knowledge, I think donations for the affected parties are now closed and the hateful accounts were suspended. But I figured considering so little is written about this outside of Indonesia, that I could share what I know to spread awareness.

Recently our president declared queer people a "non-military threat". This included an anti-LGBT education push as a religious prevention method among the youth.

With any systemic enforcement of bigotry comes people being emboldened to do horrendous things, and among many rising incidents of hate crime, a viral incident happened in Bogor. A hate account on instagram called bogorbersihlgbt uploaded videos of a vigilante hate group systematically attacking low income trans women on the streets. At least 15 trans women were attacked, beaten, doused with urine, and some even stripped naked.

Thankfully the community came together to pool money to support the victims affected, and last I checked it appears donations are closed. I myself reported the bogorbersihlgbt account yesterday, and despite the account having only 2 reels, they had upwards of 14.4k followers. I noticed another new account called bogorbersihl93t or something like that, which appeared to be their attempt to post again. Same hateful stuff, reported it too.

All this is to bring light to how comfortable people are to be hateful in this country. They felt so confident in their crime that they recorded it and posted it online. And why wouldn't they? The president is basically giving systemic support for this kind of cruelty. The only silver lining out of this being how quickly the community looked out for each other that the funds needed were raised before I could even share the posts myself. That's some gotong royong magic that I love to see, and one we'll need as things get rough for us.

This was nowhere near the first or the last incident of vigilante violence that will happen, and these hate groups always target the most visible and vulnerable of our community. In this case being low income transfemmes who work the streets. Let's look out for each other, always.
