being turned into a dragon as a punishment is so inherently funny. we’re sentencing you to become a beautiful magical creature that can live indefinitely and breathe fire and kill men with your bite. oh nooooooooo. anything but thattttttt. bad news, I’m a reptile. good news, I no longer have to pay my tithe to the church.

this 'being really tired after work' thing is really getting in the way of this 'pursuing my artistic hopes and dreams' thing has anyone else noticed this

Approximately 50% of marriages end in divorce and only around 8% of trans people detransition (with 62% of detransitioners subsequently transitioning again) so I think we should stop infantilizing trans people and hammering them over and over with ā€œWhat if you regret this?ā€ comments and start turning that scrutiny towards people who are engaged as they are statistically much more likely to regret their decision and suffer for it.

ā€œThere’s an academic gender gap/boys are falling behind girls in school..ā€ If the education gap was reversed, people would be praising boys for their intelligence. There would be no talk about girls falling behind because no one would care. Why does this conversation frame men and boys as victims? Why are we not talking about how impressive and smart women and girls are?

Female superiority is crazy because despite being neglected by the medical and intellectual establishment for literal millennia we still make up a greater percentage of the population and outlive men in virtually every society. Can you imagine how much more obvious it would be if we received the same care?
