Notice how it doesn’t say « now this is new for me, now don’t get mad if I mess them up, now you gotta understand that it’s new, nanananana »

Cause you actually don’t need to say that:)

Social medias are just plain boring and we’re all used to plain boring stuff so we stay on social medias. It’s not filling at all. It misses smt. There’s a huge difference between spending a day doing things and spending a day looking at people doing things. I had a colleague telling me he sometimes do obscene signs in public to see if people would react. We’re all on our phones. Dystopic fr.

First transmasc haircut. We all know

[triviallytrue]

okay look, there are more or less three ways you can make posts about men sucking that acknowledge the existence of trans men

you can create a carveout which makes it implicitly clear that you do not really consider trans men to be men. keep in mind this is straightforwardly transphobic, for all that it is frequently done by people who are ostensibly trans-positive.

you can include them in the post, just a direct "fuck all men, trans and cis." this isn't transphobic but it does make you kind of an asshole.

or you can consider that perhaps the way you are talking about men as if they are a single unitary class is kind of weird, and maybe this whole way of thinking is flawed in some intrinsic way that cannot be easily resolved

I’m a trans man and under the patriarchy I still gained some privileges from it. Medically, my hormones are safer than the one given to women. People listen to me more than they used to. I can go out and no one will ever cat call1 me and if they do, it’s just a transphobic or homophobic slur.

But as a trans man, I also remember the way they used to treat me. The catcalling. The way I was medically treated. How they refused to give me things I needed, which they still do, actually.. And I am middle class and white. So imagine for someone else. Now I also see how men treat each other. And let me tell you, the word everyone is looking for is toxic masculinity. Cause some trans men get so high on validation they will definitely become misogynistic. And some cis men won’t.

Toxic masculinity enforce the unity of all men and their homogenized opinions. So that men be seen as the neutral ground, the basic thing to be. Cause being neutral is powerful. Let’s divide toxicity.

1: i though no one would catcall me anymore but turns out people are just strange. That said, it was exceptional

So a while ago there was a post saying something to the effect of "you (ordinary Americans) have more in common with ordinary people in China than you do with American billionaires", and there were a bunch of right-wingers in the reblogs saying it was obviously wrong. And, look, I guess in some sense it comes down to how you define "things in common", but like...

As someone who has had close relationships with people from many different countries (China included), and also with people of many different economic classes: yes, class very very plainly has a far larger impact on one's everyday life than culture does, at least within the developed world, in my experience. Of course this is anecdotal. But, genuinely, I think if you are a working- or "middle"-class American and you believe you have more in common with American billionaires—in terms of day-to-day life, in terms of aligned interests, whatever—than you do you with working class Chinese people, you are ridiculously naive.

Leading class love when workers are divided cause they know that if workers are too occupied to hate chinese or gay or black people then they won’t realized the first enemy to their goals is the rich and the powerful. State as the monopoly of violence and they want to keep it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS (but I’m not Christian at all and this is a commercial celebration, so happy late winter solstice ❤️)🎄

I just wanna say, you don’t have to be social at family reunion when they misgender you or they talk about how much of a trend we are; or whatever. If your family is giving you bullshit, you can take time for yourself, and that’s 100% valid.

I hope y’all have a wonderful holiday season, or none; if you don’t feel like it, it’s all right to.

I think that’s why every right wing in my history class is getting more and more silent everyday.

CAUSE WE TALK FACTS not feelings

Don’t you just hate when it’s a good day and suddenly you feel bad and you get dysphoria and you think everyone hates you?

No?

Thinking about how teachers can know which students would get along together by looking at their answer on the presentation test.

Like how many epic friendships have we not seen because of random circumstances.

People are never what you think they are

If you haven’t watch this movie, please do.

This is not your classic gay movie. And by that I mean that it does not portray two white cis able bodied neuro typical men falling for each other as one of them is dealing with internalized homophobia. It talks about non labelling, no sex romance, it has OCD representation, polyamorous dynamics. This film portrays non traditional romance and how people really pushed down sex and children and straight dynamics on others and it made me feel so good, just as a demisexual person.

Plus it’s really well made

I feel like everyone needs to take care of their inner child. I’m not talking about healing now, I’m talking about giving yourself the opportunity to be childish sometimes. Take that dino mug, listen to a kid’s show and play games. Kids are sponges. They learn new things, they find hope in everything, they create stuff. Maybe our adult self needs some of that spontaneous stuff to become an adult. Maybe refraining yourself from what you truly desire (and we all know it’s that Barbie movie, that turtle ninja video game or some good old diabolo) just makes yourself feel like there’s always something missing. Run with the ducks during spring, be amazed by that squirrel.

Even if they say you look super baby now, so what? You’re just old enough so that doing childish things doesn’t make you think you look super baby now and you’re not worthy of adulthood.

Do both

I cried watching the BAYMAX show. This is the star. This is the moment. This is the good vibe. I need this in my coffee. The life lessons that marshmallow bot can teach you are quite important. It’s perfect. This is it.

100/10 would recommend

Can we just talk about how one year make a difference? On the first photo, I was always stressed for no reason, self conscious and felt different than others. On the second picture, I’m now kind of happy with myself and feel little but no stress. I found friends, I found a community, and I found myself.

Pride month is close and I wanted to remind people (right wing) about the fact that this movement is not about political views. It’s about loving. Loving yourself and loving others. We should all learn to love ourselves and others even when we are different. Positive views will always lead to positive ends. No matter if you are cis, trans, straight or gay, bi or pan, allo or aro.

Be yourself and love all of yourselves
