would a chihuahua the size of a small bear be considered an upgrade from regular chihuahuas

I think if they were that size they would be the dominant species on this planet.

I keep seeing people (even other transmen!) say our entire purpose is to "protect the dolls." I'm so tired. Why is my purpose to protect someone else when I can barely protect myself? Who's going to protect us?

It's the toxic masculinity reframed as #feminism by people who think feminism begins and ends at Not Being Mean To Women.

We have had strange things these days...some of our photos are under judging by community labels...we think we're wholesome as you know

the like…spin of shinigami eyes ive seen recently thats its replacing critical thinking and its never been good, i dunno! I used it for years, it never replaced critical thinking, I always investigated accounts and outlets marked red unless it was self evident. there were controversies from creators and media outlets that i learned of because they were marked red and I looked into it. maybe im the outlier but to say a tool like that is never useful is just revisionist and reductive! the collapse and abuse of the tool is unfortunately an inherent flaw, and I’ve uninstalled it for that reason. but it never replaced my critical thinking, it was a flag to prompt further investigation.

if you want to date or even befriend a trans man you have to listen to him. and I don't mean obey him, or do what he says, or any of that patriarchal bullshit. I mean, you have to hear what he says, and consider what he is saying without immediately shooting it down or arguing.

he has been told to calm down and shut up too many times. he has been told to change his tone too many times. he has been told he's behaving wrong, he's acting ugly, he's not being polite enough, he's overemotional and irrational, too many times. he's been told he's not smart or eloquent or precise enough too many times. he's been told that he's more valuable as someone to be seen and not to be heard too many times.

he's been told his voice doesn't matter too many times.

don't tell him to calm down. don't tell him he's not thinking clearly. don't tell him you know better. people already have. don't be one of them.

and above all, don't try to make him behave in a way you think is most desirable. take him or leave him as he is.

every time i see a post that makes some proclamation about "Trans People GOOD. Men EVIL." i think three things :

1) did you forget that trans men also exist and are also part of the "trans people" category

2) do you think that "trans man" is such a fundamentally different and alien concept to "cis man" or even "man" as a whole, that its not worth your time to append the word "cis" to "man" because CLEARLY everyone will know youre talking about the icky disgusting gross cishet men. trans men arent REALLY men after all

3) you are a gender essentialist and i dont want you anywhere near me

Saying "I swear to fuck" while Asexual feels quite similar to saying "I swear to god" as an agnostic/atheist

I am re-reading The Left Hand of Darkness and unfortunately, my brain is too rotten for this, because all I can think about is an alternate timeline where the girlies got absolutely sauced on this book and instead of inventing the Omegaverse, people just wrote Kemmering AUs instead.

to be clear, Ursula K. LeGuin would hate this

to be transmasculine is to be a ghost I think. transmasculinity is a haunting (silent, invisible, found hiding in the lost and overlooked, viewed as a stain, people prefer to ignore it than face what it might imply, etc.)

yknow qhat i love seeing? people with the "scary" or "mean" or "evil" disorders getting silly with it. thats definitely destigmatizing it /srs

like, if audhd people get to joke around about their disorders, not always treat it with an absurd amount of weight, so does everyone else. i love you aspd people who make jokes about your disorder, you deserve to do that without being called an edgy teen. i love you npd people make memes about it. i love you scary people who get to destigmatize your disorders by laughing.

basically tldr: I don't feel comfortable engaging with or gossiping about queer artists who make art around kinks especially taboo ones that are clearly a controlled fantasy and not actively harming anyone.

I will keep saying this until people GET the memo
