Hey, PSA for younger/newer transmascs:

Tumblr has been showing targeted ads for "FTM binders" off Amazon. They look like this:

Do not buy these.

A binder is a piece of medical equipment. If you use one incorrectly, or use a poorly made one, you can really fuck up your ribs. This article from the Cleveland Clinic talks about how to bind safely.

A $14 binder is guaranteed not to be safe. There's a reason reputable companies charge more- sometimes a lot more. They have to carefully design binders so they don't crush your ribs or make you sick.

You know how everyone says Don't Bind With Duct Tape? Don't bind with Amazon binders.

the whole debate on why alterhumans are not valid is so odd so i'm gonna debunk their "points"

"you're just mentally ill!" [or something that mentions mental illness] someone's identity can be caused by a mental illness but is that affecting you in any way? is that hurting you? no it isn't so mind your own business

"it doesn't make any sense! it's confusing! i don't understand it!" then learn, google is free

"they're still human!" to you, they're "human" but physically, spiritually, psychologically or any other reason, they're not human and if humans are technically a species of animals, especially if you believe in evolution

"this is all just a phase!" so? why would happen if it was a phase? is that gonna change anything? it doesn't matter if it's a phase or not, let people be who they are, we're living in a floating rock

"you can't identify as nonhuman!" says who? is that a crime? are they hurting anyone? are they hurting YOU?

"if they're gonna identify as an animal then i'll treat them like an animal" by your logic, they can also act like an animal towards you, catkins can scratch you, caninekins can bite you, bearkins can maul you, etc.

"but they're putting litter boxes in schools for nonhumans !!" those are for service animals.

"a therian bit me." no they didn't and if they did, it's probably for a good reason

"therians are attracted to animals!" no we're not, that's called a zoophile and don't generalize a group of individuals like what you do with furries.

"this is all just new gen stuff" no it's not, there's a lot of older alterhumans

"isn't that just being a furry?" no, furries dress up in fursuits, draw anthropomorphic creatures, and/or have fursonas, yes, there's alterhumans who are also furries [i'm one of them] but they're completely different

our identities are personal so it doesn't affect anyone badly at all, sure, you may think it's "weird" but there's really nothing wrong with it :D /gen /srs

This came up at work today for some reason lol. People talking about platypus are always like “they’re so weird and confused haha it’s a beaver with a duck bill!”

Listen. The duck bill is, like… nothing, compared to the fact that…

they lay eggs 

they have a cloaca (only one hole, instead of a urethral orifice, anus, and vagina)

they don’t have nipples, their milk just seeps out of the skin

their metabolism/body temperature isn’t as high as other mammals

they have venom

they sense prey by electrolocation 

Mammals evolved from reptiles millions of years ago, and monotremes were the earliest group to break off. Basically, they are almost still reptiles. They are as reptile-like as you can possibly be while still qualifying as a mammal.  

They are WEIRDER THAN YOU THINK.
