I don't know who needs to hear this, but do not ever, ever, ever let someone guilt you into not transitioning. "But you're so pretty! You'll ruin your lovely body!" "But you're my [son/daughter/boyfriend/girlfriend/mom/dad/etc.]; I can't see you any other way!" "But we need more [badass butch lesbians/women in STEM/etc.] to show women that they can do anything!" "But we need good men like you to promote healthy masculinity!" <- None of these are reasons not to transition. Transition is for you, not for others. Other peoples' indignation or sadness over your transition is not your burden to bear, and other peoples' expectations for you are not moral obligations you must fulfill. Do not live to fit inside a prescribed role in somebody else's life. You must live for yourself. Please transition.
On top of it being rude, I think it's kind of telling when someone uses birthday boy as an insult given the origin is a woman talking about a guy who had a funny comeback to guys threatening violence against him for being annoying. Like, I'm sorry but why are you siding with the toxic masculinity fueled dickheads who resort to violence the moment someone is "annoying", that's weird.
For many nonbinary people, there will be no opportunity to "go stealth." You may have to live being an activist and a teacher for as long as you refuse to choose one of two closets.
It is a difficult life to live and it's hardly voluntary. I hope, however, that you can bear up under the burden until a time comes, when no one will have to carry it.
For now, try to live with pride.
"OMG PPL ARE HEADCANONING (insert fictional masc woman) AS TRANS MASC!!" Well y'all have been headcanoning actual real life trans men as masculine women since the beginning of time so I think you can cope
Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between “I’m defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this person” and “I’m defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stop”
IMO, blurring the lines between “I’m defending them because they’re right” and “I’m defending them because you’re taking this too far” is step numero uno to cutting down the very existence of fair trial and democracy–even in places where saying that might seem a little dramatic.
Mob mentality is extremely strong in humans and it’s also extremely dangerous. Mobs don’t think things through. Mobs kill and they destroy and they can’t be reasoned with. Someone trying to calm a mob down isn’t someone defending the ~problematic party~ It’s time we re-learn that.
"Forecefem" "Forcemasc" how about you shut up and let people present how they wanna instead of trying to force anything.
if youre in the US (especially the northeast + michigan) i would avoid bagged salads/greens and generally wash your produce very thoroughly unless you want the diarrhea parasite
Michigan is experiencing its largest outbreak of a parasitic infection that causes severe diarrhea. Nearly 1,000 people have been diagnosed
this is not life-threatening, but also who wants weeks of diarrhea and a fucking parasite in them lol. if you suspect you've already had this and it's passed, i would see a doctor. you might need an antiparasitic anyway. if you're actively sick, see a doctor and they might be able to prescribe medication to help you get over it faster.
try to avoid eating raw vegetables, scrub fruit with a produce brush and rinse thoroughly with water. again, don't bother with premade greens or bagged salads. if you buy lettuce, remove the outer 2-3 layers of leaves.
there are UNVERIFIED rumors that the greens have been linked to a company that sources to taco bell. some locations have been actively pulling fresh ingredients like lettuce, avocado, and pico de gallo to mitigate the threat, so i would avoid any products from them just in case. considering how vast supply chains are, i'd be wary of any fast food greens in general for now.
also note this is a PARASITIC infection. most diarrhea-causing pathogens you expect to contaminate your greens are bacteria (e.g. e. coli and salmonella), which are a different domain of organism altogether. cyclospora is a protozoan, which is bigger and more complicated than a bacteria (for reference, malaria is also caused by a protozoan). bacterial diarrhea can be dangerous, but you might also expect to weather it and survive unscathed. do NOT fuck with PARASITIC contamination. you should be scared of this one!
Another note: YOU CAN'T WASH IT OFF!
Only high temperatures will kill cyclospora. It resides in what is like a shell, which is highly resistant to water and most cleaning chemicals. The substance it uses to cling to food is so strong we don't even fully know what its limits are. It may be best to avoid fruits and veggies you can't cook. Scrubbing only works if done hard enough and on foods with no hiding places (Like cucumbers and grapes). Peeling the skin off is your best bet at avoiding it however, scrubbing is not guaranteed.
Thank you OP for posting! Usually washing does work on most sicknesses, just not this one.

Actually I think trans mascs shouldn’t have to beg, plead, or even ask to take part in their own fucking community. Btw.
You don’t get to get pissed at them when they ask why they’re being left out of things that should’ve involved them from the beginning, it is not transmisogynistic for them to be upset about constantly being left out, or involving themselves in conversations about trans things.
They are not taking anything from anyone by being involved, you’re just transphobic but think it’s woke and cool because it’s against men.
So, cis women’s entitlement over transmasc bodies. Or, more accurately, cis women’s entitlement over bodies they perceive as being like their own.
Under the cispatriarchy, cis women, particularly cis white women, will often have the role of the enforcer of femininity. You’ll very frequently see this in groups of women and, if you were raised under the assumption that you are a girl, you’ve likely seen it in action yourself, particularly from cis women family members. At some point, your mother decided it was time you learn to shave your pits and legs and made sure you did it. If your girl classmates saw your leg hair, they’d freak out cause that’s soooo gross. If you didn’t wear makeup, they’d either make a huge effort to teach you or they’d make snide remarks about it. If you wanted less feminine clothes, your mom would never buy them for you and since you’re a kid you have to wear the girly clothes she picks for you instead. If she doesn’t, the girls at school will try to “give you a makeover”. Actually, the fact that makeovers are a thing and seen as something exciting to take part in even if the central focus is unwilling should say a lot. Basically, if you’re seen as someone who’s supposed to be a girl and you’re not Performing Girl hard enough, you get harassed until you comply or become a social outcast among women.
If cis women perceive you as One Of Them but Doing It Wrong, they have a sudden need to correct it. This is already weird and a sign of a misogynistic culture. But then we get into the problem of being a trans man in an environment like this.
You want to cut your hair short? “But it’s sooooo much prettier long! Why would you wanna get rid of it?! I’ve been so jealous of your hair, you can’t do this to me!”
You don’t want to wear makeup if you did before? “You don’t have to wear too much, you know, just the basics, come on. You look so much worse now.”
You stop shaving your legs and pits? “Ew, that’s so gross and unsanitary!”
And I haven’t even gotten into medical transitioning.
Which, okay I guess cis women would likely see the idea of taking a body Like Theirs and masculinizing it to be a horror show because they would never want the same thing for themselves. Thing is, out of all the things that are not about them, this is the most not about them. Still, they will make it about themselves.
Cis women who lost the body parts we want removed will take it deeply personally as if we wouldn’t offer to hand you ours without hesitation. Cis mothers will cry and act wounded and victimized over their trans sons getting top surgery. If you go out to a beach with visible top surgery scars, cis women approach you and talk to you like they just caught you self harming for the first time (“oh, sweetie, what have you done to yourself” in That Specific Tone). Cis women in general will say and do anything to make you reconsider your desire to make your body, which they see as Like Theirs, less Like Theirs. As if it’s about them. As if you’re a lost lamb to guide back to the fold. And not just some guy trying to improve your quality of life by getting rid of what’s causing you distress and giving yourself things that make you happier.
And you’d hope after a certain point in transition they’d stop. They’d finally recognize you’re a guy and you want a body that matches You, The Guy. And some do. But some don’t. You’re still a tragedy to them and now a danger to other girls and they’ll overwrite your words and your reality to paint you as such. Because now you’re Once Like Ours. Something corrupted. Not a real man but instead That Which Was Once A Woman, and you carry a corrupting force that they fear will reach them or their daughters. That corrupting force, by the way, is the knowledge that you literally do not have to be a woman if you don’t want to be and there are options. Because once you have that, well, their gender policing doesn’t quite work the same way it used to now. They lost control. And that’s scary. But they didn’t need or deserve it in the first place, now did they?
That got a little dramatized at the end there but I feel I’ve made my point.
Sexually harassing men isn't being a feminist you're just being an asshole
Some ya’ll who are younger need to google Frank Serpico and read about his time in the NYPD and what the cops did to him and attempted to do to him up until the late 90′s. He literally had to go into hiding in Italy and Switzerland and multiple times people tried to kill him. He only came back to America after the mafia (who hated the NYPD a lot, obviously) said “you’re under our protection.”
Damn, NYPD is so bad, Mafia started protecting good cops
I was a police officer for nearly ten years and I was a bastard. We all were.
👆Really really good article by the way. Feels like a good piece to show to folks you know who are still on the fence about things like police or prison abolition. Plus the pseudonym the author uses is hysterical, and he's really quite a good writer.
extremely good article, please read it. at the very least read the "how to be a bastard" section, it outlines a lot of the ways cops will try to trick you

sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.
I don't even have the energy to screenshot and respond to your tags- what the actual fuck is wrong with you? "the cops are scared and rightfully so" "mental health calls are the scariest for cops" OH so this isn't about the safety of psychotic & manic people this is about piggy feelings?
and no, actually, this is not USA specific and no, actually, people from other countries should not ignore this post. police violence and sanism weren't invented in the US and they are certainly not unique to here. if you (or anyone) thinks that this bullshit doesn't happen elsewhere then you are not listening.
