I simply do not know what to put as a title

I'm a trans woman in my early 30s and I love snails.

maybe this is a dumb question but why don’t amab trans ppl want to hang out in amab queer spaces

So a basic element of trans existence is a level of disagreement with the assignment, and it's generally been a fixture of trans politics since... Forever.......... To not enforce a grouping of people according to birth assignment

Trying to interpret what the hell they mean by this without immediately assuming extreme malice but holy. "Why don't trans women like hanging around gay men's spaces" is. I mean, it's obvious, right? They aren't gay men. It's like asking why straight men aren't going to lesbian bars.

Granted this is a blank account so I don't think there's anything good going on here

Hello transgender woman. You deserve partners who are *excited* to introduce you to their friends

[namethatghostling]

women have no idea how hard it is being a man. for example, [describes an experience that is not at all exclusive to being a man]

Good post so true.

having audio processing issues is so humiliating like yeah i heard you and yeah i was actively listening but the problem is i dont know what the fuck you sayed

[jacobtheloofah]

i was paying attention, i was listening, but you see the problem is....it didnt work

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

cis people can never just apologise for missgendering you they always gotta say some shit like "oh sorry i wasn't even thinking" like admitting that it takes concious effort to see me as a woman is going to make me feel better

Pros of reblogging:

You get to keep a copy of that post FOREVER. Tumblr is not like Twitter in that if OP deletes the original post, all the shared versions of the post will be deleted as well. This is how Tumblr still has posts from 100000 years ago circulating around.

You get to classify posts with your own tagging system. It makes finding things easier. Searching a blog using tags is also more reliable than searching with keywords.

You get to leave comments in the tags of the reblog! It’s handy when you wanna react to the post but are too shy to talk to OP and/or others in the reblog chain.

You get an archive/scrapbook of all the things you like, which you can then showcase with pretty custom themes.

You get to identify as part of a community. Among fandom blogs, fellow fans will know you’re one of them if you actually reblog things. Any outsider can leave a like, but it takes a fan or someone really interested in something to dare to reblog.

You get to make friends! People follow other people based on what their blog is like. If your blog is empty, then what’s the point of following you?

You give the impression that you care about what other people say, and it will make others look at you more nicely (empty blogs can be suspicious).

You are less likely to be blocked by artists/writers. (I’ve seen some posts from artists/writers saying that they’ll block spam likers.)

You are less likely to be mistaken as a bot or a creep (again, empty blogs are sus).

I understand that DNI means do not interact, but surely everyone will have different criteria for who they are and aren't willing to interact with? What on Earth could "general dni criteria" mean? What meaning is this person trying to convey beyond "There is at least one demographic I hate and don't want to talk to, and I'm not saying who"?

baffling response

[porcelain-dollbones]

the she in question is my pet snake

[porcelain-dollbones]

oh well that makes perfect sense then

[pocket-deer-belly]

AMAB/AFAB socialization is a piece of terf rhetoric. Anyone who's trying to sell you on it is trying to get you to view transmascs as Fundamentally Female so you'll view transfems as oppressors for their unshakeable Inherent Maleness. It's a coalition building tool to ally terfs and transmascs against transfems, to deny the role that transmisogyny has on raising transfems. To reduce the complicated gendered experiences of trans people that chase their entire lives into binaristic terms of victim and perpetrator.

Top things to say as a trans woman to get a free lecture from a cis person

"I wish I had a period"

"I don't like drag"

"I want bigger boobs"

[anomalocaris-lesbian]

"Don't call me dude"

[spectacularsnailgirl]

I am someone who has quite strong beliefs, but who is also not very articulate, and I think this results in a lot of frustration because I feel the impulse to express those beliefs and yet when I try, I end up not explaining my point well or coming across as hostile when I'm not trying to be

I don't know if there's really anything I can do about it, just wanted to vent a little I suppose.

ah, a d&d 5e party

guy who wishes they were playing vtm

guy who wishes they were playing pathfinder

guy who wishes they were playing ad&d

guy who's not actually a guy, and also wishes that they were playing a mechsplo-themed Lancer reskin

guy who wishes they were playing a pbta variant

guy who can't figure out why the campaign isn't living up to expectations set by critical role but is deeply invested in continuing to play 5e regardless

[spectacularsnailgirl]

There's also guy who treats the DM as a computer whose job is to know the rules for them! They really enjoy it, but their DM doesn't.

Y'all know you can talk to your d&d group, right? Like, I guess this is supposed to be hyperbole, but it feels like most people like playing TTRPGs as much as straight dudes actually like women.

[spectacularsnailgirl]

I can't speak for others, but my group and I actually have been talking a lot lately about the system, with opinions varying from "I want to continue playing 5e with no changes except all the ones we've already made but not really formalised anywhere" to "We should introduce a bunch of homebrew to try and eliminate the worst parts" to my view, which is "We should try other games and see if there are ones we like more".

I agree that talking to one's group is a good thing to do, like you are correct, but I think in the case of 5e, there's not like, an easy solution you can get to by talking about it. My current group are great and largely open to discussing ways to deal with the issues some of us have about the game, and I feel quite lucky for that, but that doesn't solve the problems of D&D5 by itself, even for people whose groups are willing to talk about it.
