Some of the double standards I've noticed among trans people:

When a transfem makes posts about how you can "you should start estrogen", it's treated like detransition rhetoric, and she's demanded to put lengthy disclaimers to prevent her from upsetting AFAB readers

When a transmasc talks about the "miracle of testosterone" or recommending you start it, it's fine.

When a trans social group has mostly trans women, it's a bad sign, and they need to represent transmascs more ASAP

When a trans advocate group is led by mostly trans men, it's just an unfortunate result of random chance

Calling a transmasc whiny is hard misgendering, as only women can be whiny. Calling a trans woman a bro or dude is fine, though. As is directly stating her feminist leanings are due to a mental illness

When a transmasc runs into a transfem kink post by accident, it's the transfems fault and she's treated as on par with sexual predators

When a transmasc directly tells a transfem that she should kiss or even have sex with him instead of arguing, it's funny

Pointing out the objective fact transmasc spaces have a misogyny problem is bioessentialism.

Saying that T makes you a strong man and E will dissolve your muscles is not.

When a transfem distrusts men due to a lifetime of abuse, it's considered a symptom of a disease at best, and can only be stopped through forcing interactions with men.

When a transmasc directly says "I can't relate to women because I'm transmasc and have dysphoria" it's just how people work and you can't force him to do anything.

Telling a transmasc he benefits from male privileged at all is considered a grievous insult, and a denial of every problem he has

Transfems must be reminded of every bit of privilege they get at every possible moment, including lack of periods or pregnancy.

This is not even close to the full list of double standards. People often mockingly ask how male privilege is supposed to help trans people. It's hard to answer, not because they epic owned me, but because expecting a single solid ubiquitous answer ignores that privilege is not that easy to point at. It's a lot of small things, each one appearing minor but building up to something that can't possible be denied... except by those that benefit from it.

The gender crank hangup on gender identity is so fascinating like "ohh it was invented by John Money" no it wasn't, the term was coined by Robert J. Stoller. Both of these guys were researching it to try to "fix" trans and intersex people by changing their gender identities. They were your guys.

"But what's the evidence that people have a gender identity? You haven't proven that it exists." Well you see, you could ask the same thing about the notion of having any personality trait at all.

The term was coined to label something that was already being observed, which was that people will have rather strong opinions on what gender they're supposed to be, and sometimes you'll encounter a trans person, whose strong opinion on their own gender is at odds with their birth gender assignment.

In general, the idea that you have to Prove™️ the existence of whatever you're measuring before you can say anything about the measurements is completely backwards. The measurements come first, and then afterward you build the framework to interpret them.

Early sexological studies of gender identity and its development were motivated by trying to ensure it did so "correctly" according to birth gender assignment, by guys like Stoller and Money. As it turns out, you can't do that. Reports of successful methods to change someone's gender identity were backed by a great deal of scientific misconduct, dishonesty, and outright human rights violations.

The complete failure to actually change anyone's gender identity in real life is the basis for the observation that gender identity can't be changed, that "gender identity disorder" as it has been called at times can't be "cured."

The people who first arrived at this conclusion absolutely fucking hated it, because their careers were dependent on finding the "cure," but everything they could think of turned out to do significantly more harm than simply letting people live according to their gender identity.

Over time, these guys have died of old age and slowly started to be replaced by people with enough self-awareness to ask "are we the baddies?" and push for a depathologized framework for the treatment of trans people. This has gone over pretty poorly with self-styled skeptics who were asleep until the scientifically backed conclusion started backing a minority group they don't like.

The thing these pseudo-skepctics slept through in science class, though, is that psychology isn't the only place where you need to tolerate the idea that you'll make observations first, construct a framework, and then look for evidence that contradicts it rather than Proving™️ that the framework is "true".

This approach is also how we discovered every single fundamental particle, is the thing.

Electrons are indisputably a Real Thing That Exists, seeing as we have a bunch of technologies that depend on electron detectors now. The idea of "an electron" was first introduced in the 1880s as a name for the minimum amount of electric charge observed in ions. They didn't "Prove" that they exist, they just named an observation that was already being made.

The proper discovery of the electron is credited to experiments with cathode rays, based on the deflection of those rays by electric fields, and the heating produced by those rays. From that, they calculated the electrons' mass.

There are, to this day, guys who will insist these experiments didn't Prove™️ that electrons are particles. In a very naive and pedantic sense, this is true: The goal was not to Prove™️the particle nature of electrons. Particles were the best-fit model for what was going on with cathode rays. With no better alternative available, particles were ASSUMED, and experiments focused on measuring the properties those particles would have, supposing they were real.

"Measure the properties supposing that it's real" is how research on gender identity has to work, because there isn't going to be a Gender Identity Detector to Prove™️that it exists. The crank objection is that this is some kind of exceptional reach, some highly dubious construction that undermines the whole field of research into trans issues.

That betrays one of two things: Complete ignorance of how basic research works in practice, or a deliberate effort to lie about it. In either case, the objections don't constitute legitimate criticism. They're politically motivated pseudo-skepticism coming from people who refuse to engage with the existing work on the subject, using the playbook of the kind of person who insists that the theory of relativity and the theory of quantum mechanics are "Jewish science" and need to be debunked.

Not surprising, given that the first sexologist to propose that trans people are simply a value-neutral, natural variation in humans was Magnus Hirschfield, a Jewish scientist whose institute was burned down by the Nazis in the 1930s.

trans cat girl, Hitomi, feels intimacy.

[wolfertinger666]

I wanted to draw Hitomi in a safer and trusted but vulnerable manner. she is very touch starved so any form of intimacy makes her tear up.

[wolfertinger666]

I think drawing trans bodies in a very loving and safe manner while depicting such vulnerable moments especially with a transfem character is important to me. Hitomi is so deeply loved by Hitch. she is in good hands

See the thing that's wild to me and that these people love lying about is that like, for months when isuggestforcefem was first started, i would get asks that were like "what about men?". And I would answer them for a while, but like, HALF of all asks i used to get back then were those. What about men? What about men? And, this was a space for girls right, a space meant for girls primarily. And while men can be here, it started feeling Really grating after months of that, of being reminded that I really should include men more! That I should think about men more when I post, that i should talk about forcemasc, that, what about men?

The reality that none of them bother to think about, because they want a target to hate, is that I was overhwelmingly polite for months. I was like, well this isn't really the place to focus on men but you can do what you want!

But it only takes one day! It only took one day of me getting pissed for me to be branded as a hater of trans men. Because that's how it started. I Dared to post "Forcemasc fans dni" because, yeah! I was pissed that my blog focused on women was getting more asks about men than about my actual focus! But when you're a woman on the internet you have to always be palettable. And that was too much, so that was it. When a men talks about how women sucks it's accepted as a vent post but if a woman Dares to not be always palettable, even once, that's it. And you're calling her horrible things, paving over the hundreds of times that she was patient, explained that some things aren't centered around men.

And then there's nothing she can say that will make you change your mind. Because that's the worst part! As soon as i slipped up once, dared to have an emotional reaction, there was nothing i could do, and I had people harassing me, taking all my words in the worst way possible. I was blamed for it, then, I was told that I shouldn't have said that in the first place (ignoring the circumstances, of course), and that I shouldn't attack innocent people, when I dared to mention the very real ways my harassers had hurt me, when I was banned the first time. Worse even, when that happened, they didn't even wait for me to say anything, they would just call me horrible for things I hadn't done, for Daring to send harassment to isuggestforcemasc, both ignoring the harassment he had caused and the fact that I had not said or done a thing, aside from, you know. Being banned by an obvious transmisognynistic hate campaign.

Ultimately, any evidence that I don't hate men, no matter the amount, doesn't matter to these people, because they hate (trans) women. They hate trans women, we have to understand this. They are not misguided, not when they take you always at your worst. This is a hate movement, and a very simple strategy. Bother a trans woman until she says something wrong, and then you have the perfect excuse to harass her forever. This is how it works, do not mistake it for misguidedness.

The purpose is hate. I do not hate men, but were I to, I would not blame myself for it.

It feels like you are negative towards transmascs a lot. It’s not cool to put negative generalizations on a group like that. No minority should be treated like that.

oh shit is it not all men? oh fuck?

[miss-wizard]

i once lost access to my entire network of local trans friends because i was accused of "hating trans men". what spurned this was me complaining that i never saw any transgender women in advertising material for pride month. there were no trans men in the circle where this occured.

this is not the only time i have lost entire networks over my supposed hatred of trans men. these men don't even have to be in the room for me to be deemed an intolerable threat to them. at all times, i am expected to make space within myself for transmascs, to carve little holes in my feminism for these "AFAB when convenient" men. if i do not do so, if i instead dedicate my life to the care of my fellow transfems over all men, i am social jetsam. the number of people who have stayed in contact with me after these banishments happen is so few it doesn't even reach a half dozen.

it has been proven to me, countless times over, that concerning myself with the emotional wellbeing of transmascs is a tar pit, that it will only continue to pull me deeper in and continue to ask more and more of me until everything that i am is completely submerged beneath the monolith of transmasc comfort. it has been proven to me that when you approach me with supposed concerns over "negative generalisations", you are not coming with a request; you are pointing a loaded gun at my head and asking me to beg for my continued existence. on behalf of me and every one of my fellow transfems who has been put through this shit time and time again, go fuck yourself.

Hey, wanna make music? Yeah? Got a buncha money? No? Well that's perfectly fine, check this free stuff out:

Vital - A powerful wavetable synth, my personal favorite VST synth, very easy to figure out creating new synth sounds, with the help of the plenty of tutorials that are out there for the plug-in. (There are paid versions but they are completely unnecessary to get 99% of the features of the plug-in.)

Synth1 - A classic piece of synthesizer software.

Pendulate - An interesting, chaotic synth that you can make weird little sounds with.

Native Instruments' free plug-ins - Various cool VSTs, including the Komplete Start pack.

The Free Orchestra - A set of orchestral instruments for Kontakt Player (see previous link).

BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover - More orchestral stuff! This one has its own player so you don't have to download a separate VST to use it if you don't want to.

Magical 8bit Plug - A chiptune plug-in, intended for producing sounds like that of 8-bit systems like the NES and Master System.

Genny - A synth VST made to emulate the soundchip of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

MT Power Drum Kit - A nice rock n' roll style drum kit plug-in.

This guy's weird VST collection - 6.4 gigabytes of weird VSTs, including some you might know, like Delay Lama and MeowSynth!

sforzando - A free player for soundfont files.

Musical Artifacts - A resource I mainly use to find soundfonts, on which you can find other various things as well.

Kilohearts Essentials - 30 effect VSTs including reverb, delay, compression, pitch shifting, transient shaping, ring modulation, phase distortion, and more.

Xfer's freeware VSTs - Exactly what it says on the tin, including the one and only OTT compressor.

Illformed - The good ol' dblue Glitch 1.3, Crusher, Stretch, and TapeStop.

Hysteresis and Fracture - Two interesting glitch effects, one being a delay and the other being a buffer.

Codec - A cool digital audio degradation effect.

Le Phonk - A slick distortion plug-in.

MAIM - An effect that mimics the sound of MP3 compression.

Soundly Shape it and Place it - One is simply an equalizer VST, the other is an effect that emulates a speaker (ex: a radio) and a space (ex: a cave).

Fresh Air - An effect that adds high end information to your sounds, to provide brightness.

ValhallaSupermassive - A combo reverb and delay plug-in that sounds quite big.

UnplugRed - A collection of various interesting VSTs, most of which have free versions.

Chowdhury DSP - I can't personally speak for all of these but their tape model effect is great for some lo-fi style effects.

TAL-Chorus-LX - A thick sounding chorus, good for "retro" sounds too.

Polyverse Wider - A great effect for widening sounds up, really simple too with only two controls.

Freesound - A good audio file resource, mainly for foley recordings.

Cymbatics Dubstep Starter Pack - A little sample pack with some good drum and synth samples.

fishmonger drum kit - A pack of samples from the album 'fishmonger' by Underscores!

WangleLine's sample packs - Free samples put out by my awesome mutual WangleLine!

aaand I might as well include this set of drums I made awhile back :P

As for DAWs, it's been a long while since I've used anything other than FL Studio (not counting Audacity, which I still occasionally use for specific purposes), which, while being the only one I can directly recommend, is paid. However, I've heard good things about Reaper which has a "free trial" that you can technically use forever, akin to WinRAR. Additionally, I've also heard some good things about Waveform Free.
