Look, I'm not saying Eternals is the ruler of gay rep in the MCU, but the fact that it actually showed two husbands together in scenes together and even kissing but got nothing versus fans celebrating being queerbaited by Agatha All Along basically...

my white trans man cousin posted this, wondering what people think. the info available rn is vague but it seems that while imane khelif has always lived as a woman, it seems likely she has some sort of intersex or other condition. after all, she has been disqualified from previous competition on sex grounds. racism played a role in people’s reactions to the situation (portraying her as a monster, saying that she “obviously” looks male which I don’t think is true) but i also don’t think it’s fair to treat the italian boxer and her “white woman tears” as evil. khelif had previously been excluded from women’s sports so if the italian boxer thought she was fighting a male she’s obviously going to be upset about it. and she’s a professional boxer who’s been punched countless times, so if she says she felt she had to stop the fight for her own safety im inclined to trust her judgment. it’s unfortunate but entirely predictable that people have no faith that athletic governing bodies will exclude males from women’s sports, after years of men being allowed in just because they feel like it. imo the greatest blame for the situation should be on these athletic governing bodies. they need to develop consistent and transparent guidelines for intersex athletes. however, there is also a long-running phenomenon of people accusing women of color (esp black women) of being male when there is literally no reason to think that’s the case. anyone accusing serena williams of being a man is obviously just acting out of misogynoir. but im confused about the inclusion of caster senenya bc she was found to be genetically male. so it’s like….what point are you trying to make. i don’t think anyone should be condemning, let alone harassing, khelif. i’ve seen a total lack of sympathy for (potentially) intersex people. it’s a tough situation bc people deserve the right to keep their health information private but that information is sometimes necessary to ensure fair competitions. im certainly not claiming to know enough about biology or sports to make those calls

There's something funny about my brain turning straight to guro whenever my back hurts in my sleep. Like ok girl I'm sorry about the situations but I'm sure we didn't need to gut that guy in front of his boss neither that generic blonde woman and much less fly from the hit game lisa the painful

I "like" my "job" but its so sucks that I can't have my phone on me while the show's going on and i can't even doodle and draw because im backstage and its soso dark... during our tech rehearsals i would slide my run sheet out onto the stage just enough so that nobody could see it but i had enough light to draw LOL. But now that we're open i don't wanna risk doing that... so basically i just pace around and zone out 😁👍

well wtf now. twitter is a fascist playground, Facebook is misinformation paradise AND illegal to post news sources in Canada. Instagram same thing plus whatever Threads ragebait they can throw in my feed every day. Pinterest riddled with ads of course.

and now tumblr actively hostile to trans women, moderation system laid embarrassingly bare and ceo exposed as a musk wannabe controlling everything in sight and posting emotional breakdowns from his mansion I guess. TERFs infiltrating the site sending false allegations against a bullied trans woman to trans men to try to turn us against one another. this isn't a safe place for my trans family idk. years ago I never thought I would refer to tumblr with that gravity but it's true.

I need to make a Facebook post soon to update my friends and family on where I'm at in terms of my general wellbeing. I have been very isolated, and while I am getting better, I at least want my friends to know that I have ghosted them due to severe illness rather than a lack of love.

For motivation, I told myself i could make some art to go with it, but uhhh... I think maybe it is too scary for Facebook? 😅 But then again, it is both eye-catching and accurate, even if it doesn't incorporate the kind of righteous rage and feral joy I sometimes find in survival. But that's an art project for another day.

This was basically DIY art therapy. Maybe someday I'll post all the paintings I made when I was in art therapy in IOP! I have tried a lot of different therapies, and art therapy is in my top 3 "therapies that actually work on me." I hope those paintings haven't warped too much in storage...

i was thinking about how women are ridiculed for needing bags/purses but also how at the bare minimum of being out of the house many women are expected to wear a bra, some makeup, have a hairbrush in case their hair gets messy, have tampons/pads just in case because god forbid places provide free menstrual care, etc. and just comparing the bare minimum of what extra things women need as "maintenance" that men aren't expected to have with them and just. the whole entire system. and societal expectations. burn it down maybe?

Since everyone seems to love my sex shop stories, here’s another one.

Phone calls were literally a game for us. Not all phone calls, but there was a specific brand of call where guys would creep on us. 90% of the workforce at the sex shops was women. So we’d get dudes calling jacking off or trying to get their jollies from us.

The game: make them hang up. We could have hung up. On a few occasions I did, but for the most part we made a sport out of getting creeps to go flaccid. It really depended on a caller.

You couldn’t just go in for belittling them straight off- some guys wanted that. You had to tailor your strategy to the perv. Overall it was pretty fun and it turned an aspect of the job that could’ve become a major bummer into a fun sport. We’d get excited when the phones rang.

So one day the phone rings. I pick up and it was very clearly a young teen who was putting on a deep voice. I was utterly delighted, I’d never had a crank call before. He said, “I have a dildo emergency! Can you deliver 5 boxes of dildos to my home?!”

It took everything in me not to crack in that moment. It was so funny. It was like three kids had walked through the door in a trench coat and the phrase “dildo emergency” was one of the funniest things I’d ever heard.

But I kept it together. In smooth customer service tones I replied, “Oh, I’m sorry to hear you’re having an emergency, but due to the nature of our product we do require people to come pick it up themselves.”

The caller audibly deflated. Some of the deep voice he was putting on bled away when he said plaintively, “But it’s an emergency…”

“I’m sorry, sir, rules are rules.”

He hung up. I burst out laughing and told my coworker what had happened. She said, “I will buy you lunch if you call back and pretend you can deliver something.”

This sounded like an all around win for me, and the kid hadn’t used anything to block his number. So I called back.

“Hello!” This was before caller ID was common for home phones and so he picked up in his totally normal voice, several octaves higher than before.

“Hello, I’m calling regarding your dildo emergency?”

“Oh! Hem hem,” he coughed, getting his voice back into character for me. “Yes! The emergency!”

“Well I’ve spoken to my manager and it’s your lucky day. We’ll be able to make a delivery after all. Five boxes you said? We can swing it by later, we’ll just need your name, address, and credit card number.”

He was thrown by needing to provide info and was silent for a moment then said, “Well how much is it for five boxes?”

“About five hundred dollars, sir.”

He slipped out of his character voice to exclaim, “Five hundred dollars?! What kind of dildos are they?!”

“Just standard six inches with balls, sir.”

This was his breaking point. He started wheezing with laughter trying to repeat the phrase “six inches with balls” incoherently.

“So your address and card info?”

He hung up and I broke down laughing too. We both got a kick out of it, and I won the game twice in one day.
