you’re one of the three survivors after the apocalypse & the other two are visibly passing one of theirs’ phones back & forth having a secret conversation in a notes app
farcille isn't "toxic yuri." nothing remotely toxic about them, they both treat each other with a great deal of care and affection and respect. just because marcille is willing to do forbidden necromancy and arguably cannibalism for her wife doesn't make her toxic that's just what you do for a woman with broad shoulders
Heyy everyone please block @/scramratz-deadname-opal-teal they just send an AI generated nude based of childhood pictures of scramratz which is gross (the nude appear to be adult luckily for me), obviously, double so because I am also a minor and that is just disgusting
How long have you been working out. Your biceps piss me off (larger than mine)
i have never done any sort of regimented or structured exercise. My job sometimes has me lift heavy boxes and my girlfriend has an affinity for vintage mahogany furniture, but other than that, i mostly just walk a lot and eat a lot of chicken
whenever discussing the erasure and lack of representation of trans men in media, it's best not to fall into the assumption that just because the image of a trans woman has a more prominent place in the cultural zeitgeist, doesn't mean they have better representation.
That's like saying black people in the 1920's had better representation than asian people because minstrel shows were popular.
Sleep well Marjane Satrapi. You were a huge influence on me and my work in a way that cannot be understated. You will be missed but your work will carry on for generations to come
just had the most frustrating back and forth trying to explain how my abdominal pain is absolutely my endometriosis and absolutely a gynecological problem with this doctor because she kept saying if it’s above my belly button it’s not her problem. I’m gonna fucking lose my fucking MIND!!!!! It’s NOT MY FAULT endometriosis is growing on my FUCKING LIVER!!!! I SHOWED YOU THE PATHOLOGY REPORT WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT “WUHH DUHH BELLY BUTTON” FUCK OFF
this doctor is gonna make me fcking kill myself I waited 3 months after almost dying in the HOSPITAL to see this person only to be told in less colorful language that they are FUCKING INCOMPETENT MISOGYNISTS WHO ONLY SEE US AS BIRTHING MACHINES AND DONT CARE IF WE ARE IN TREATABLE AGONY
[looking at people younger than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at people older than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at myself] its over
so grace is probably alarming to most eridians at first because he's a lanky wet alien with too few limbs, yes--but what if he ends up being terrifying in a sort of divine way instead of a repulsive one?
like. a creature that perceives the intangible? a creature that walks with thin permeable membranes bared to the air, whose blood contains elixir that can destroy pathogens without heat? a creature that is impossibly fragile yet resilient? a creature that breathes potently flammable gas to survive? a creature that is loud all over and speaks in a strange and frightening monotone, who thought it would die for you? who gave up its home in the heavens for you without meeting you first, whose first words to your people were probably something along the lines of We saved your star. It's gonna be okay. Don't be afraid.
I will say I HATE how "trying for a baby" is reduced to "fucking raw and often" by so many people AND assumed only a thing cishet people do. There are a variety of queer and transgender situations that can result in pregnancy. Even wanted pregnancy.
Anyways. "Trying for a baby" generally means more like "we have made a decision to add someone to our family and have made quite a few changes in our life for it."
Gonna go over the process in detail under the cut. Keep in mind it covers infertility and speaks frankly about invasive genital stuff in a medical context.
For example, I had to quit all my vices and start changing the way I cooked and ate because certain foods and herbs can raise your risk of miscarrying an early pregnancy. Then I went to a maternal fetal specialist to clear my medications for pregnancy or help me change to safer ones and my regular doctors approve my body to carry a pregnancy. This was disability specific but who is fully abled these days? Then I had my birth control removed, in my case it was a minor procedure because I used nexplanon.
Then I started using ovulation predictor strips, which is pretty normal these days for people who are "trying for a baby" this involves pissing in a cup almost every single morning, dipping a test strip in the piss, waiting 5 minutes, then trying to decipher whether or not the test line is darker than the control. Thank FUCK there's an app for that.
After THAT, if it IS darker than the control line, you MUST have sex as much as possible in the next 48 hours. It doesn't matter if you're tired. If you hurt, if you're stressed. If you don't fuck raw and often, you've blown it. you've missed your chance for the next month, maybe more if you struggle with periods. If you DIDN'T miss your chance, then have fun being anxious the next two weeks wondering if this will be the cycle, if maybe things will work correctly this time. Then either your period starts and you start the process over when it's done or you got lucky and are now horribly sick and your legal personhood might be in a precarious position depending on where you live.
And, if you're in the unlucky percentage of people dealing with infertility, like me, after a YEAR of this they might start trying medications that will fuck with your hormones and make you feel Bad. They'll also want to do something called a transvaginal ultrasound, which is performed with an 8 inch wand. Or they'll inject dye into your cervix to see if your tubes are clogged.
Or they'll clean your partners sperm and inject it into your cervix every cycle the same way they did the dye. Then they'll blame your infertility on the weight you gained from the fertility medications that you took after a year of infertility. Finally, about two years in, they might do a simple blood test and find out you probably haven't been releasing eggs this whole fucking time because you're intersex and will likely need more help. Or maybe that's just me.
Like yeah, we're fucking raw and nasty. And its fun sometimes, but goddamn am I tired of people who can't even understand that queer people get pregnant too trying to say that "trying for a baby" is an announcement of "we're fucking raw and often" and not "we're going through a physically and emotionally difficult but hopefully rewarding time in our life."
This Pride, make sure every trans woman that you follow, are mutuals with, goon over, or consume their work in general, has a roof over their head, their bills paid, and food in their kitchens.
You wanna call yourselves allies? This is the work. Do it.
