often i’ll see terfs saying that the reason they dislike trans people or “don’t believe” in us or “disagree” with us is because they have faced trauma at the hands of cis men. and that’s such an absolutely absurd take. to have your body violated and hurt, to have your own autonomy taken from you is a horrible thing. why would you project that onto trans people? knowing how it feels when your body is controlled by others, and then attempting to control others’ bodies when they’ve done nothing to you? fucking bizarre and nonsensical.

this is not a post open for discourse. i will not hesitate to block any terfs who interact with this post.

mechanical guts

[orchids-on-acid]

Imagine how societies with augmentation would differ aesthetically from eachother. Like, you'd have basically full control over what humanity looks like. If you went to diffrent planets in a future with augmentation, every human civilization would differ in human appearance the same way architecture differs from place to place.

A civilization that actively leans in to the fact that that their augmentations dehumanize them. Looking like insects or reptiles more then the do people when they're fully upgraded.

A utilitarian brutalist civilization where mechanical upgrades are just stuck into most people without caring how it'll make them look, where beauty has fully become a class privilege.

A somewhat feudalist or religious society who try to make everyone fit their hyper athletic beauty standards. More heavily upgraded people look almost like angels.

A super wealthy trade empire where people put precious metals and jewels on their mechanical parts and sculpt everything to be as extravagant as possible.

Is this anything? If you have any other ideas for societies like this please reblog with them?

who up thinking about the implicit parallels between computers and angels (both beings who exist solely to carry transmissions between beings of greater intelligence and free will. confined to a singular path and defined by a purpose)??????

the bond between a girl and their favorite fictional man is both an unstoppable force and an immovable object

““Mother,” I slowly repeated in Korean. “I am not a boy. I am a girl. I am transgender.” My face reddened, and tears blurred my vision. I braced myself for her rejection and the end to a relationship that had only begun. Silence again filled the room. I searched my mother’s eyes for any signs of shock, disgust or sadness. But a serene expression lined her face as she sat with ease on the couch. I started to worry that my words had been lost in translation. Then my mother began to speak. “Mommy knew,” she said calmly through my friend, who looked just as dumbfounded as I was by her response. “I was waiting for you to tell me.” “What? How?” “Birth dream,” my mother replied. In Korea some pregnant women still believe that dreams offer a hint about the gender of their unborn child. “I had dreams for each of your siblings, but I had no dream for you. Your gender was always a mystery to me.” I wanted to reply but didn’t know where to begin. My mother instead continued to speak for both of us. “Hyun-gi,” she said, stroking my head. “You are beautiful and precious. I thought I gave birth to a son, but it is OK. I have a daughter instead.””

I haven’t seen this linked on here so: this is an awesome resource for how you can help the people in Palestine. It has donation links, helps you figure out how to contact your representatives, and a regularly updated list of planned protests. It is USAmerican centric but the list of protests is international.
