Why would you think that punching at trans men is going to "fight the patriarchy" in any way. What's your goal here? Keeping them in line? That's weird!

No but the history behind this picture is really interesting

The reason that everyone always looked miserable in old photos wasn’t that they took too long to take. Once photography became widespread it took only seconds to take a picture.

It was because getting your photo taken was treated the same as getting your portrait painted. A very serious occasion meant so thst your descendants would know that ypu existed and what you looked like.

But one time some British dudes went to china to go on an anthropological expedition, and they met some rural Chinese farmers and decided to take their pictures. Now, these people weren’t exposed to the weird culture of the time around getting your photo taken, so this guy just flashed a big grin during the photo because he was told to strike a pose and that’s the pose he wanted to strike.

I think painted portraits and old photos give us the idea that in general people were just really unhappy because those are the visuals we have. This is so refreshing.

Listen, kids, don't let transphobia seep into your ideology just because it's being sold to you as activism! Here's a little list to protect you from adopting transphobic beliefs:

-- There is never a good reason to mock someone's gender identity and/or pronouns! Criticize people on their actions, not their identity.

-- "Transfeminism" encapsulates the issues of all trans people, as studied through a feminist lens. There is no way to exclude a whole group of trans people from transfeminism without being transphobic. Anyone who tells you transfeminism is exclusive to one type of trans person is lying to you and possibly themselves.

-- Trans people speaking about their bodies and how those bodies are affected under a patriarchal system are never misgendering themselves.

-- Body parts =/= gender! That's bioessentialism and will always be transphobic and intersexist.

-- No gender identity can be reduced down to one stereotype or one personality type. That's gender essentialism, which will never not be transphobic (and misogynistic, while we're at it).

-- Don't take people who weaponize transphobia against people they don't like as authorities on transfeminism. There is no amount of bad behavior that deserves to be met with transphobia.

Y'all got it?

if you’re going to be weird about trans men then your opinion on queer issues is literally worthless

All good My Little Pony names sound either like euphenisms for gay people or euphenisms for hard drugs. You could've had a pony with a handlebar moustache named Fruit Garland and his energetic wife Sparkle Snow and nobody would've even blinked. Due to the sparkle snow.

Reducing porn work to the sex performed also erases the intense creative and emotional labor that workers perform. Performers described—and in set observations I saw—the careful work of cultivating a connection with co-stars. On gay and straight sets, male performers (at least those who hope to get cast again) participate in this work alongside their co-stars. They calm their own nerves and those of partners, work to generate familiarity and chemistry, and do the emotional work of tuning into their partner’s needs during a scene. In doing so, they confront broader cultural ideas that emotional connection in sex is unimportant for men and, in straight scenes, industry-specific conventions that often place women at the center and reduce men to a de-personalized penis. Industry veteran Herschel Savage talked about how proud he was to be known among women performers as a considerate partner, and how frustrating it was to be treated as “a piece of meat” by management (2013).

My old person take today is that I feel like people have normalized being on your phone every single moment including when you're spending "quality" time with others so much that they're defensive if someone isn't ok with it. Yes, you have a problematic relationship with your phone and social media if you physically cannot put it down for a couple of hours to like, have dinner with your friends. It's a show of respect for other people's time and energy as well as important to be present and connect with people around you. Your parents who told you no phone at the table were right for that one.

[eldritchbauble]

And if you're the parent who's ignoring your kids (children or adults themselves), put the phone down.
