I love fitness trackers, but I hate how not turning it on, makes me feel like my activity didn't even count.

Canned whipped cream might become a refrigerator staple.

The problem with mushroom coffee is that you always end up with a cup of dirt.

Treating others as you would like to be treated rarely results in you being treated in that manner, but it is still the right thing to do.

I don't know how people play golf in Tennessee in August.

re: ‘transmisogyny’

Reposted for brevity, continuing from here, @artemiswasamerf​ replies:

Lolol, Merf is what radical feminist actually is. TERF is a replacement for the word “witch” that TRAs gave to radical feminists. Know your definitions.

“TERF” is a descriptive term meaning ”Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist”—no more or less—specifically to distinguish them from radical feminists who aren’t transphobic, or who are trans-inclusive. Sometimes it’s misused, but often it’s a euphemism.

It’s not a slur, and it’s not a replacement for “witch”. That is a lie.

(‘TRA’, meanwhile, is a transparent attempt to paint trans people and allies as equivalent to MRAs.)

Also…transpeople or “transgenderism” wasn’t a thing till mid 2000s. Before them were drag Queens and cross dressers, before them were male actors playing female characters because women were not allowed to act in plays. Know your facts when running a “factual” blog.

Ahistorical and counter-factual. Trans people, as we would recognise today, existed throughout the 19th century. Speculatively, trans people have existed for millennia.

The confusion—and deliberate conflation—between trans people, drag queens, and crossdressers persists today. While the concepts were not as well distinguished in the past as they are today, that does not mean that trans people in the past were [cis] crossdressers and drag queens.

Men playing female characters in plays isn’t even close to relevant.

“a complex definition” - wrong again. Misogyny is dislike, hate, or prejudice against women. Women. Only women. Misandery is dislike, hate, or prejudice against men. But just like “reverse racism”, misandery isn’t a thing.

Again you misquote me, blatantly. I said misogyny was a complex concept, not a complex definition. Misandry was not mentioned, and is irrelevant (a red herring) whether or not it does (meaningfully) exist.

Fact: transwomen are men because they were born with XY chromosones that are not just related to having a penis and testosterone.

That is not fact, but definition—your contested definition which you are still taking for granted as a premise. (Petitio principii—“begging the question”)

It is the very coding of every single cell in the male body. That can never be replaced or changed.

This is another red herring; it isn’t relevant to the matter at hand. The argument is not that trans women are female/women because they have XX chromosomes, but that womanhood is not/should not be defined by biology.

It’s also a crude, reductive application of biology. Human sex is not a perfect binary. Most people’s chromosomes are unknown.

I’ll respect someone’s pronouns as much as possible, but as soon as that person tries to make me feel bad for existing as a woman (using the word cis) or attacking my fellow women, you better expect me to not give you an ounce of respect.

Conditional respect of people’s pronouns is not respect.

Using the word ‘cis’ is not “trying to make you feel bad for existing as a woman”.

I’ve been stepped on and abused all my life by men, I’m not about to let a man in a dress who calls me “cis” do the same thing.

If your gender and assigned gender/sex are the same, you are cis. It’s a dispassionate definition, describing those who are not trans. Nothing more.

So, before you keep this little rebloging volly up, I would take a good long hard look at your blog and maybe realize that your facts are not facts…just feelings and rhetoric that has been fed to you. Sorry you feel the need to protect people who harm actual women. :/

[emphasis mine] Ad hominem and gaslighting. :/

do you even think about issues outside of queer politics? it's just ugly when a white person wants more resources. with this mentality, i bet you are an american as well.

When talking about resources going to the queer community, there’s no taking it out of queer politics. In general, yes, I think way more resources should be going to PoC, and way less things should be taken from them than still are on an ongoing basis. This would be why I have a ton of things on that very subject in my blog. You’ll forgive me for boosting PoC voices on PoC issues, and speaking for myself on things that affect me.

Now, are we done attacking a disabled mentally ill bi trans woman for saying that cis white gay men shouldn’t have all the resources within the queer community? Or are you not done embarrassing yourself?

Me: So that's that. Does anyone have any questions? Yes?

Student 1: You seem chill. Are you chill?

Me: Yes, I think that's probably true.

Student 2: Are you rad?

Me: Uhh... I don't think so? No. I doubt it.
