Calling people solely by the abbreviation for their agab is disgusting. Stop doing that. Most times, their agab is completely irrelevant. And in the rare case that it is relevant, it's still highly dehumanizing.

Yes, people who do not have a uterus should not be talking over those who do regarding uterus related reproductive care. HOWEVER you can say that without referring to people by their agab. "Assigned [gender] at birth"s is so fucking dehumanizing and you need to stop pretending like an event that happened when someone was a baby inherently impacts their personality, thoughts, actions, and lived experiences. It's literally terf shit.

Yes, people who do not have a prostate should not be talking over those who do regarding prostate exams. AGAIN you can say this WITHOUT reducing people to the gender they were assigned at birth.

That doesn't begin to touch on the fact that not everyone who is assigned either way has the same primary or secondary sex characteristics because sex (as a binary) is not real.

I'm begging my fellow transmascs to stop referring to others as "amabs" when you mean "people who don't have a uterus". There are people who were assigned amab who have a uterus, and when you go "but I'm not talking about them", you're using the same exact argument as the people that say they weren't talking about transmascs when they talk about "hypotheticals" regarding men who can get pregnant.

Just stop dehumanizing people and stop acting like an event that was applied at birth 100% always affects how a person turns out. It is literally terf shit. Reducing someone to what you assume their body is like is terf shit. Acting as though (assumed) certain sex characteristics impede someone's ability to be empathetic regarding issues that affect you is terf shit.

Remember.

Do as I say not as a do.

Don't drink caffeine before going to bed.

That's a bad idea

Even if you have ADHD and caffeine actually makes you tired.

Just a bad idea.

Anyway I'm gonna drink half a monster and we'll see if I actually go to sleep tonight or if I scream into a pillow till 2 am.

lmao remember when some people on here were unironically like "i hate disney but they're soooo right and correct for suing midjourney and protecting artists everywhere from generative ai, i support disney in this lawsuit" and when you tried to point out that actually you shouldnt support disney ever because they're not suing midjourney to protect small artists, they're suing to defend copyright law, you'd get called a techbro or whatever

Disney+ to Allow User-Generated Content Via AI

Disney CEO Bob Iger hinted at "productive conversations" with unnamed AI companies that would protect IP but add new features to the studio'

Have y’all read about that POS that threw a huge rock the size of a coconut at Lani, an endangered monk seal in Maui? I know he got booked & can get fined up to $70k & have a sentence of 1yr in prison but i really think someone needs to beat the shit out of him, with the same big rock he threw at poor Lani. UHGHGGHH.

Look how cute he is😭😭😭😭♥️

i hate bringing up this discourse but i need every queer person doubling down on the “importance” of labels and definitions and “words having meanings” to realize that you are on the side of the oppressor.

policing the identities and basic autonomy of people you share community with is exactly what homophobic and transphobic legislation has been consistently and cruelly advocating for. i mean how can you repeat classic terf rhetoric like “protecting women’s spaces” or “men are invading women’s spaces” and think you’re doing something positive or even remotely progressive? are you going to start asking people to define what a woman is next? gonna demand that girls- sorry, “non men” wear pink and boys wear blue so we know what everyone’s genitals are?

it baffles me as someone deeply swept up in this during quarantine that anyone still cares, but especially when IRAN WAS FUCKING BOMBED AND THERE IS STILL AN ACTIVE GENOCIDE OCCURRING. This is NOT one of those issues you can hold in equal regard or play the “care about two things at once” card for. This fundamentally does not matter in the midst of everything else that is happening in the US, in Palestine, in Iran, and literally every other country that has suffered under apartheid occupation.

You think you’re a modern day brick-throwing activist championing for the rights of your people with online arguments and insulting people for being nonconforming (in the nonconformity community? more than likely. ), but if you were alive just a little before or during the gay liberation movement you would be on the floor of the Stonewall inn sucking pig dick.

Do you know why you can publicly tell people your sexuality? Do you know who designed the lesbian flag in your profile picture? Do you know how any progress was made for you to comfortably and openly be queer? It was made by your boogeymen, polyamorous weirdos and contradictory label havers and neopronoun users and slur reclaimers and all other people who didn’t conform the way cishets and now you, a fellow queer person, are trying to pressure them to.

Imagine trying to condense the human experience into a singular stifling label. Grow the fuck up.
