Just a trans girl in a cis world. Cracking jokes and heads. Pronouns: she/her/hers

sometimes I have to stop myself from posting shit like "who made replacing a bike chain so erotic" because I remember the number of people who see my posts and I have to take a step back and reconsider my choices. sometimes I have to hide my true and sincere thoughts in a post about how I'm not posting them because it is funnier this way

whatever. it's just reaching between all its delicate parts to wrench out its guts with lots of sweating and straining. while it's upside down and immobilised. and then it's just taking the slick and shiny new chain and feeding it gently through gears and between metal before pulling it taut until the derailleur is extended and the chain clicks into place and can no longer be removed. I; think I'm bicycle. I mean bisexual

forgot what website I'm on apparently. peace and love on pervert planet

one of the most insidious things about bludgeoning trans women with "male socialization" is that it so often functions to discredit and poison our childhood experiences

so many of us carry the weight of our traumatic pasts like an infected limb, poisoned by the sex assignment that informed all the transmisogynistic abuse we survived. many of us would rather cut the limb off than try to save it, than try to reclaim our childhood selves

too often "male socialization" is conceived of not as the site of our trauma, but as a permanent mark we must continually apologize for. we are expected to sever all ties with the scared little girls within us who carry our trauma

Something something the visceral horror GLaDOS must feel after watching Chell for so long, only for her test subject to literally go off the rails and disappear inside of her.

It's such a fantastic reversal of power! In an instant, it changes the genre from Chell's psychological nightmare into Glados's body horror.

This whole time Glados has been creating a psychosexual connection to her lab rat, and now that rat worms its way through her body in a way she can't track.

There's almost an intimacy about the rooms Chell solves being specifically tailored for her to see. They're a dishonest facade, until Chell escapes from the predetermined path and sees what Glados truly is/looks like, and ventures all the way to the heart of her, stripping her bare.

"What if you were a massive mechanical complex and I skittered through your insides and climbed into the heart of your most private and vital organs? And we were both women?"

"I will never swim again until and unless I get surgery."

"This is why I try so hard to protect my trans sister, she has to deal with so much of this all of the time."

"And this is why I will never learn how to swim"

"I never go swimming, unless it's an event that explicitely mention that Trans Women are welcome"

And other such tags I am vaguely paraphrasing are ones I have had the horror of reading on my post. The trans girls are not swimming. It feels like there is a hole in my body where my heart should be, through which all my blood is pouring. I can't.

[transsexual-feminism]

We haven't swam at all since a year or so before our egg cracked. This is transfeminism!

i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that

[noelle-ism]

Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that companies are still trying to stomp out.

There is categorically no trend on Twitter that will ever ever ever beat this ‘girls do it better’ thing we’ve got going because honestly it’s just meaning we’re getting photos of beautiful girls recreating this look and my lesbian ass is living for it

[drdelphinecormigay]

Seeing as you guys are loving this as much as I am, let me bless your eyes with some more beautiful girls creating this iconic look. Creds of course to all of these wonderful ladies

online transfem spaces are sometimes kind of bad at distinguishing whether something's a Transfem Experience or a Traumatized Women In General experience, but all in all that's still better than the general public's attitude of "well if it's not a Normative Cishetero White Woman Experience it's not a real Woman Experience at all"

[tpwrtrmnky]

"there are a lot of similarities between trans women's behavioral tendencies and those of traumatized cis women" isn't some random idea i'm pulling out of the ether btw it's. a pretty standard transfeminist observation. like. if you find that idea strange and unfamiliar it's time to touch book instead of just digging yourself deeper into discourse

[taliabhattwrites]

"I feel dehumanised, objectified and sexualised in such an extreme way that it truly feels like people treat even some animals better than me"

Right, so womanhood.

i realize this is more or less all happening on bluesky but holy fucking shit fuck hbomberguy and the leeches of breadtube that are trouncing around with him rn. jesus christ

[deepseasmetro]

hbomberguy and co are over on bluesky pedojacketing patricia taxxon because she called him out for underpaying her as a freelancer for several years (including when she was a fucking teenager)

(and their reasoning is "a tweet patricia taxxon made like 2 weeks ago")

[sailatina3]

So they acknowledge that they screwed her over but justify it because "she deserved it". Breadtubers genuinely think they deserve to live lol.

[lonely-space-egg]

I'll add that the initial post wasn't even calling Hbomb out for underpaying her, it was this vaguepost venting about being interpersonally poorly treated:

The posts about being underpaid came after Hbomb made his post, and after the dogpile was well underway. I think it deserves to be republished here, because it really is a dreadful instance of an artist being undercompensated:

Hbomb's post would be indefensible either way, but I think laying out the order of events illuminates things even further. Patricia Taxxon would be well within her right to call out being underpaid at any time, but as it stands she brought it up after Hbomberguy and his producer* contributed to the harrassment campaign against her. I would bet money that this is why Lily Alexandre deleted her post - because it validates Patricia's claim of underpayment that she posted in response to Hbomb pedojacketing her.

What we have here is a woman being piled on for the crime of venting that a man - who she did not even name - treated her poorly. "Lefttube" my ass.

[Also, while Patricia's account is currently deactivated, it is archived thoroughly on the Wayback Machine. I've seen people asking "posts are deleted, what happened" and I'd direct them to Patricia's words on the matter.]

Hbomberguy's post was deleted quickly after being posted, but r/youtubedrama got hold of the situation and someone made a post there that's just a vile cesspit of lolcowing. Hbomb's producer, lingrush, intially requested that the Reddit post be taken down, saying that the Bluesky post was deleted to avoid "piling on a person with mental health issues," but went back on this and repeated the claim that Patricia is a "genuine safety threat."

has anyone figured out how to turn off the thing where you love your pet so much it slides inexorably into grief-borrowing

“For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.”

[coto524]

as a welsh person i want you all to accept that W is a vowel because honestly it makes pronouncing acronyms so much easier. wlw becomes ‘ooloo’, wjec becomes ‘oojeck’, love yourselves and stop giving us shit when we tell you welsh has 7 vowels. english actually has 15 vowel sounds but because y’all only use 5 letters you have to rely on a spelling system devised by satan

[saethwr-blog]

and please, enough with the “keyboard smashing” jokes. not original, not funny.

[coto524]

“ #okay but can any of y'all even pronounce your own town names tho? #bye”

yeah, we can actually because the spelling is phonetic. meanwhile english folks have placenames like bicester or keighley or beaulieu, which you have to learn the pronunciation for individually because the rules are so inconsistent. i mean people can’t even agree how to pronounce marylebone but sure welsh place names are the weird ones

[coto524]

“#But are you aware your language literally looks like a potato rolled across a keyboard”

fun fact: for decades children were beaten for speaking welsh in school, even in areas where english was barely spoken, because the government decided in 1847 that the language made people lazy and immoral

fun fact: welsh orthography is actually easy to read if you take your head out of your arse for one minute and learn our alphabet - just like french, or spanish, or korean, because surprise! languages use different spelling systems that are not based on english. novel, i know - and in the 18th century, travelling schools were able to teach people to read and write welsh in a matter of months, so that wales enjoyed a literate majority, a rare thing in europe at the time

fun fact: the english have been taking the piss out of welsh for years, just like they’ve been doing for irish, and scots gaelic, and cornish, and british sign language, and a hundred and one other languages, because evidently the fact that the whole world isn’t anglophone and monocultured and Still Part Of The Empire is a problem, and something that needs to be corrected

gonna pull what many are calling a "trans reverse roko's basilisk"

I'm creating/becoming the infinite god of spacetime so I can ensure every trans person can transition, throughout all of time.
