¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i just post anything tbh

[this-is-trans-joy]

Reminder to newly out trans women/fems or anyone else on E, don’t let anyone gaslight you about your period symptoms. don’t let anyone with a child’s level understanding of how periods work make you feel like you’re stupid or delusional for experiencing period symptoms, especially if you think there might be something wrong.

things like endometriosis can develop in an estrogen-dominated system, because its the hormones that cause the growth of endometrial lesions, not the “parts” themselves. If you’re experiencing unusually painful symptoms* then you have a right to find a doctor who will take you seriously and not try to gaslight you into thinking that the pain is “normal”.

*period pain is not supposed to affect your daily life. It’s supposed to feel more like an inconvenience rather than a medical emergency. If you are struggling to go about your life, if you can’t move due to the pain, if you’re bed-ridden for the majority of your period, then that is not normal and you need to find a doctor who is going to take your pain seriously. This obviously goes for anyone who experiences periods because unfortunately it’s not common knowledge that experiencing agonising levels of pain is NOT NORMAL!!!

Trans women do not experience medical menstruation because they do not have a uterus or ovaries.

Men have less than 20 documented endometriosis medical cases GLOBALLY.

Womyn have 190 *MILLION*.

[stellasbiggestfangirl]

REPEAT: You cannot have a period if you don't have a uterus. Get over it, penis havers.

you are not experiencing periods, you are experiencing the side effects of your body overdosing on estrogen. attempting a "hormonal cycle" by lessening the estrogen you take or stopping it altogether is your body trying to return to its natural male state. transwoman "PMDD" is due to fucking up your endocrine system. and male endometriosis is so rare that you'd be more likely to get struck by lightning—twice.

fucking stop this shit. you do not have periods, you are experiencing side effects from injecting hormones into your body that do not belong there. it is so insulting to pretend like you experience what women do, when women endure very real suffering, societal and medical stigma, and death due to menstruation.

it is not "gaslighting", it's fucking fact. and demonizing women who actually experience periods into staying silent about a biological process we endure is some male supremacist, misogynistic, patriarchal shit. saying we don't know how periods work, when yall are the ones who are too stupid to look into the side effects of males taking estrogen and are delusional enough to believe that males without uteruses can magically experience a female biological process, is hilarious.

shame on the female people who cosign and encourage this bullshit. it is not trans activism, it is female erasure. but of course, males must always take priority, even in female-exclusive experiences. the patriarchy requires it.

[gender-critical-butch]

why is gender dysphoria the only mental illness that’s “affirmed”?

granted i’m not a professional psychiatrist but i can’t think of any other mental illness where the unwell patient makes a statement about reality and that statement is “affirmed.” a patient with a restrictive ED states they need to be severely underweight to be worthy as a person, a patient with OCD states that if they don’t repeat same ritualistic behavior something terrible is going to happen to them, a patient with depression states that the world would be better off without them in it…all of these hypothetical patients are making statements about reality as a result of what their mental illness/disorder is telling them. but no therapist in their right mind would “affirm” any of these beliefs because they’re obviously the result of a mind that is unwell and “affirming” these individuals would just make them sicker by pushing them deeper into their unhealthy line of thinking.

the same cannot be said of gender dysphoria, where a patient states that they were born in the wrong body/they should have been the opposite sex and that belief about reality is then “affirmed” by medical professionals. in not all, but many cases it’s “affirmed” with barely any questioning/pushback at all. there are a lot of things about “gender affirming care” that i find concerning, but i think the most questionable thing of all literally comes down to it’s name.

i mean if you ever wonder why the trans community is the way it is just think about what would happen if a therapist “affirmed” their patient with social anxiety by saying they’re correct about their friends and family secretly hating them, or “affirmed” their patient with anorexia by saying they’re correct about needing to eat a dangerously low calorie diet… the individual would inevitably get sicker, pushed deeper into their disordered thinking. they might even become passionately adamant about the fact that they’re correct to be thinking the way they do to an almost unhinged degree because their doctor, an individual with power who is more educated than the average person, “affirmed” them and said that they’re right. and it feels really fucking good to be told you’re right, it can become pretty damn intoxicating…

Hey, you! Whoever you are!

Do you identify with a particular ideological or political group? have you ever seen your ideological/political opposition write about your group, and thought “what bullshit, that’s not what we’re about at all. they’re lying”

As it turns out, fucking everyone does that! Including your group and the way it talks about your opposition!

If you want to know literally anything about your ideological opponents (something that is essential if you want to criticise them), you need to learn what they are from THEM! You need to read THEIR writing about themselves. If you wonder “why do they do [blank]”, you need to ask THEM that.

Obviously, people against immigration don’t want to address what happens to the boats they turn around, or the refugees who can’t escape their authoritarian country. That is where your own ideology’s writing comes in handy - addressing the things your opponents want to ignore. but if your ideology is telling you “the opponent believes … [seemingly surface-level beliefs]” that should be a red flag! Only your opponent should be trusted to explain their surface-level beliefs and justifications.

Read your opponent’s ideological writings - check their sources, of course (as you should ALWAYS do, even and especially for your own ideology).

You should have the skills to identify errors and false claims made in their arguments. You should not rely on others for basic critical thinking. You should see, first-hand and from the source material, the flaws of a belief before doubtlessly believing their existence. Do not let people lie to you about what the opponent believes.

Do not let government, profiteers, and politicians trick you into believing lies and propaganda with no effort whatsoever besides using leftist-speak or queer-speak or freedom-speak etc. The truth lies between both statements, and if you don’t want to live in a world where we are all strawmen and lies and only understand others as strawmen and lies then you need to search for the truth.

[rexuality]

hikes are very good yes but a deluxe hike is when you are accompanied by a freak with niche nature knowledge. they’re like omg stop there’s a horned valerian varmint beetle here and then you both get to crouch down and look at a bug like :)

[alchemillaatnight]

actually as a woman I still think misandry makes you an unpleasant person and if you’re just out there saying shit like “all men should die” or “men’s mental health doesn’t matter” then you’re the type of person I want nothing to do with. also this is not what feminism is about btw, you’re not being a strong girl boss with this ideology, you’re just a bully

[virtualcremefem]

anyway i love misandrists please follow me if you're a misandrist!!!

feminism is about liberating women and girls from the patriarchy...we don't have to love our oppressors and we can in fact hate them!

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

It's fascinating, isn't it? How in every single space where women talk, there will always, without exception, be women who defend men, who will say the women go too far--by literally just talking.

Meanwhile you can find men saying the most disgusting things about women and girls and not a single man stands up to them to say the tiniest "maybe that's too far" to them.

And the difference, of course, between women saying mean things about men, and men saying what they do about women is that women are only venting. Yes, even those who say they aren't. We know this because it's not thousands of men being murdered by their female intimate partners every year, and many more hospitalized. It's not male babies being murdered just for being male. It's not men in any country of the world, now or ever, being locked in their homes, unallowed to speak to one another or even look out the windows. It's not female police coercing male rape victims to say they lied and then blasting them all over the news as false accusers. It's not an entire industry built on primarily men and boy's sexual exploitation for the pleasure of women.

Then of course there are the things women couldn't do to men even if we wanted to, but men certainly do it to us: forcible impregnation, and forcing women to bring unwanted pregnancies to term, even if it kills her.

But clearly the real problem is women just aren't nice enough to men.

[smarthealthyandkind]

[gnomebutch]

befriending men is like wowww you’re so nice and we share so much in common but also there’s a solid 70% chance you jerkoff to rape porn and view me as inherently inferior sigh

[sqoks-aesthetics]

"gooseworx got banned because of the EVIL TRANSPHOBES who want her DEAD" ok so whats the real reason

[redhairandpronouns]

yall are so fucking weird about gnc people. a woman wears a suit and she's "conforming to the patriarchy". a man wears a skirt and he's Secretly A Trans Egg. have you considered It's Fabric

[anxiouslyliquidcurse]

i hate insecure people who dont keep it to themselves. stop spreading your disease!! you give people something new to worry about every time you open your mouth

[atanerrum]

hey what's up you guys yes. been a while since I've posted a vashwood dump for @tometen's and my au. under the cut you may find a few sketches that can be considered a bit more risqué

I was so tempted to put a stupid meme or a rickroll gif here but no. you can totally trust me. im so honest. im absolutely not planning to do it next time

[g1rluninterruptedd]

ppl are really not ready to be uncomfortable. when i first wanted to get into radical feminism, i was so hellbent on still shaving because “ well body hair looks weird on everyone! men should shave too!” then when i saw women saying bitch and cunt were misogynistic slurs, i was so opposed to that because bitch was a part of my daily vocabulary. but at some point, you have to stop being up your own ass and listen to others because sometimes you realize… you are just dead wrong 😭 and you actually do need to work on yourself. the more i started reading, the more i started seeing and the more i had to evaluate what the fuck I was saying and doing. when i get mad at a woman, why do i call her a bitch? why do i shave even though i don’t really like it? you have to get comfortable with discomfort 🤷‍♀️

[parkayquarts]

"what if someone regrets transitioning" if you are 18 or over in free country usa you can walk into any tattoo parlor and ask for a tattoo that will be on your body forever and ever and ever and they will give it to you with the understanding that if you dont like the result or you regret it later that's your fucking problem and not theirs

[hugewoman]

This attitude is so telling of the complete lack of accountability in the trans community and what a total cult mentality it is.

Your own analogy is crap - in it you’re the innocent and perfectly detached tattoo artist that had nothing to do with the art or the placement or the size or color of the piece, just head down needle out do the work, get paid for the job done, and anyone who isn’t happy afterwards is a karen who obviously doesn’t understand the industry works.

The problem is that tattoo artists fuck people over all the time on work you fully consented to and paid for. Your consent doesn’t make them not liable for their own mistakes. They pressure you into designs you don’t really love because it fits their style better, they do wonky lines and impossible anatomy, they spell things wrong, they shade poorly or blend colors weirdly, they scratch or cut you with the needles, they overcharge and then still act like you’re scum if you don’t leave a huge tip. They expect you to love it even if they do a shit job. There’s any number of things a tattoo artist can do to not just give you a terrible experience but to make you regret and resent something you were once excited and hopeful about.

The worst part is hearing them bitch and moan about how awful a client was and then go on to describe completely a person behaving perfectly reasonably.

And that attitude is pretty familiar:

If you change your mind after I’ve sold you something that’s your own fault!

If you regret it after I’ve done something permanent to you that’s not my responsibility!

If you’ve been groomed to believe you’ll die young and miserable without transition and then you’re still unhappy afterwards then you can fuck right off!

Where’s even a hint of the love and compassion and understanding they claim we need to all have for anyone questioning or confused about gender? Where’s the empathy? Trans people claim to be the most marginalized abused helpless population on the planet, and they can’t bring themselves to give a shit about the kids they leave behind in the wake of their overmedicalized ideology.

If this is truly your attitude then just call yourself the trans industrial complex. You don’t care about kids being happy or healthy, you don’t have a leg to stand on to even try and claim you do. You’re part of a system that tells kids that the only solution to feeling strange or uncomfortable in their bodies is medication and surgery, and then immediately and cruelly abandons them when it isn’t successful. That mocks them when it goes wrong. That turns on them the instant they start to have doubts.

You are the shitty tattoo artist actually, because after they get the surgeries you told them they cant live without, if they don’t absolutely love it then you’re content to wash your hands of the matter. You made your contribution and it’s out of your hands. Not your problem, not your responsibility, they brought this on themselves, they should have thought about it more beforehand, they were obviously never really trans.

And also it’s EXTRA ironic all the people in the notes making comparisons to 18 year olds being actively recruited by the armed forces like… yeah guess who else isn’t getting adequately taken care of now by the people who pressured them to join up as a teenager and then utterly abandoned them after they were irreparably harmed in the process? That’s also bad. That’s also a similar example of children getting drawn into an extreme ideological group and being promised the world and coming out traumatized on the other side, then being demonized if they speak out about it. That’s a very good comparison actually but not for the reason you think! You accidentally made a great point
