That Roughling

[folly-of-alexandria]

The thing that makes I and other transfems so uncomfortable when TME queers say they are envious of how our bodies are "so transgressive," is that its never about us existing as women in a society trying to deny that.

Its always that our bodies are transgressive because they see it as so at odds and incongruent with femininity. And its often demeaning they way they feel so comfortable talking so openly about our bodies in such a way.

Like there's not much difference in how I feel about a person going:

"Your body is so unlike a real woman's, you look like a certified freak! (Derogatory)"

and

"Your body is so unlike a real woman's, you look like a certified freak! (Affectionate)"

I'm not trying to be a freak that shatters ideas of gender by looking like a shocking incongruent amalgam of masculine and feminine traits. I'm trying to be comfortable as a woman and fighting ideas of gender by being a woman when others tell me I'm not allowed to be.

When someone, fawns over my body in such a way with out giving a damn about who I am it feels almost exactly like I'm just dealing with a garden variety chaser.

Here's a legal PSA:

If you've committed a crime and a detective gathers everyone involved in the room, especially if he's not actually a detective and is instead a novelist, puzzle-setter, psychic, fake psychic, dog, chess grandmaster, etc. ...

YOU SHOULD NOT CONFESS.

Every year, hundreds of people are put away by non-traditional "detectives" who have either inserted themselves into the case or are working with the police in a dubiously legal capacity as advisor. In 99% of these cases, the murderer gives a full confession even though the evidence against them is circumstantial at best and often requires a long just-so story which can only guess at motive.

If this happens to you, stay quiet, do not attempt to defend yourself or talk your way out of it, only say "I want a lawyer".

Now if you find yourself being investigated by a boy genius, magician's assistant, anthropologist, classics scholar, or philosopher, it's likely that refusing to talk to the police (or investigator with no legal authority) is merely the end of the second act, and by the end of the third act they will have you dead to rights.

YOU SHOULD STILL NOT CONFESS.

Make them take it to court. Force the eccentric detective and his straight-laced police partner to take the stand and explain their methods to a jury of your peers. Have your lawyer look at the chain of custody on the evidence, especially if you believe it to have been handled by someone who has only bumbled into detective work through their natural charm and/or unique set of skills and outsider perspective that come in handy more often than they should.

Know your rights. Don't let eccentric detectives put you away.

Honestly, Tvyek is pretty miraculous. It’s permeable to water vapor but not to water, it’s nearly impossible to tear, but can be easily cut. It’s cheap and made entirely without binding chemicals. In addition to being used for wristbands, it’s used to wrap construction sites to keep out water during construction, for tear-resistant envelopes at Fed-Ex, coveralls for mechanics, and my wallet, actually.

Fun tip, though it looks like paper, Tyvek is plastic, and cannot be recycled with paper.

holy fuc

[piisbetterthanpie]

I didn’t even know it had a name

[demilypyro]

feels weird to think about how until about 5 years ago, I didn't have boobs... I've gotten so used to these... the shape of my body feels so "natural" now, there's like no dissonance at all anymore, so I kinda stop thinking about it for months at a time. being a woman with a sizeable chest has just become normal for me. gone are the days of celebrating every centimeter of growth... on a hot summer day, some weeks ago, I watched a sweat droplet slowly make its way into my cleavage, and I was like. wow

[william-s-churros]

i think i saw a movie like this once

[maidslime]

Ok I needed to know the story and

Guy makes a really stupid decision and gets in a car accident -> no real damage from accident but insurance goes up -> starts beating himself up over his stupid decision -> gets depressed -> starts to realize he's single and had crash been worse he'd die alone -> realizes he's never had a relationship or even a crush and starts wondering what he'd want out of a relationship -> starts to realize he doesn't really like girls so he thinks he must be gay -> realizes he likes girls and boys about the same amount, so he must be bi -> later realizes that "same amount" is none at all -> he's ace

theyre gonna extract the iron out of my blood to make a sword but its gonna be so little iron it will barely be a dagger and everyone will laugh at the small dagger they made out of my body

[crescentalice]

[crescentalice]

can't leave this in the tags

[songsbeforebed2022]

Stop posting that stupid fucking white man with his shirt off I’m going to kill you

[songsbeforebed2022]

I can’t stop thinking about this because I was under the impression that like every unimportant white guy who dominates the fandom in a piece of media about black people and women he would at least be like. A Character. Have something going on. Eddie munson situation where it’s like ok this guy fucking sucks but he did have something?? But no he’s so nothing. He is the most Plot Device character in the movie. He is the character who is killed off first to characterise Clark, The Black Man, and establish elevated stakes. I hate you all soooo much his character is literally a red circle and arrow pointing at clark saying HOLY SHIT DUDE THIS GUY IS SO FUCKED UP AND AWESOME but uhhhh I guess the actor is “”hot”” so one million x readers of plot device guy from the fucking backrooms movie LOL

[plaidos]

genuinely really funny that people are mad about the ending of the amazing digital circus or feel let down/betrayed. some of you did not have a very amazing digital media literacy huh

[telltalebatman]

*jigsaw voice* hello, persona fanartist. before you is a sheet of paper and a pen. you have 1000 hours to draw a female character from the series while staying true to her canon boob si- man, what the fuck, i wasn't even done talking, and you already failed. what the hell.

[sunnybugster]

people want complex female characters but can't even handle jax tadc

[parasauropteryx]

ive been thinking about this for a while, about how the way jax is treated by some fans irl is a really bitter reflection of her status as a closeted trans woman. it feels like it adds to the tragedy of it in a way. i see so many fans vitriolically referring to her as a man, refusing to think any further and only thinking they see some sort of predator and abuser. insisting she is irredeemable and should be shunned by the only people she has in her life. jax isn't real but even so, her actions are treated as if they are. "jax is just gooseworx's favourite" yeah. why do you think that is? what is she putting of herself in jax? why do you automatically assume this means the transfem creator must be a violent and abusive person instead of anything else? why do you say you want to see more messy female art but make an exception in this case? the whole thing feels like metatextual performance art.

[ghostapop]

"when i showed weakness i was less of a man than him" and "i said something deep and personal that i thought would get her off my back" and ribbit putting their bow on jax and then saying "your secret is safe with me" while jax is happy and blushy looking at the bow and the montage of jax scenes with isn't she lovely playing in the background WE WONNNNNNN WE SO FUCKING WON

[vicholas]

Why are people now saying "LARP" when they mean "poser". It's confusing.

[vicholas]

Everyone is always parroting The Buzzword Of The Month without actually knowing what it means or where it comes from, make it stop

[gunsandfireandshit]

Kinda like how "POV" went from "(implied first person) Point Of View" to "there is a video"

[zatclaire]

I hope the next 4chan post that gets adapted into an indie film is Bridget Forcefem Tulpa
