The thing about people discouraging transition is that it's all of these incremental little "compromises" inching you back closer to cisheteronormative gender roles. And it's vital you don't try to bargain with them because they will never be satisfied until you're completely cis gender conforming. It's a trap kill them

Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think that means something is deeply deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost

I think the word "transmedicalism" needs to be reserved for ideas that support giving authority over trans identity to medical institutions, actually.

The political project of trans self-determination can't be transmedicalist, no matter how much someone says "we need to prioritize access to medical transition," because increasing access in pretty much every real-world context is the same thing as attacking the authority of institutional gatekeepers.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Like when you're calling DIY advocates "transmeds" you have Lost The Fucking Plot. You have decided that "transmed" means "trans person whose vibes I don't like." Words actually need to mean things to be useful.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Anyone who's never had to deal with trans healthcare in the gatekeeping model especially needs to put in work to learn this: What transmedicalists are advocating for, whether they understand it or not, is a system where a cis man with a history of sexually harassing patients determines if you're "trans enough" to transition.

i think friendslop as a term is soooo fucking funny. ironically mildly derogatory term for something that's only good because you are just doing it to hang out with your friends. im not saying it's a misnomer or anything in fact i think we need to broaden the concept to apply to a lot of non video game stuff retroactively. bowling is highkey friendslop

[ot3]

other notable examples of friendslop:

bar trivia

pontoon boats

ouija boards

Incarcerated for Life in Trump's War on the Left

Autumn Hill left a Prairieland ICE facility protest before it turned violent. She was still sentenced to 50 years as part of Trump's war on

They're sending a trans woman to prison for life over the fact that she attended an anti-ICE protest where a cop died (she had already left the protest when the 'violence' started)

the unimaginable power of saying "huh, guess that's not for me" and moving on with your life

[demilypyro]

y'know some years ago I saw a conservative post something like "transitioning is worshipping yourself when you should be worshipping god" and I was like hell yeah. hell yeah that's awesome. I'm turning myself into someone worthy of worship and spiting god at the same time. this rules

The trolley is about to run over all sentient life in the galaxy. You cannot switch the tracks, but you can still save everyone’s lives by pulling one of three levers, all of which involve sacrificing yourself. The red lever will destroy all trolleys, but will also kill you as well as all public transportation across the galaxy. The blue lever will merge your own consciousness with all trolleys, allowing you to control them and stop the trolley from running everyone over. The green lever will use your body as a catalyst to synthesize organic life and public transportation together - organic life will no longer be stuck in the cycle of creating public transportation that rebels against its creators, and both forms of life will finally be free.
