Losing my shit about this article in which a transphobic Tory was so busy panicking about existing in the vicinity of a Trans that she almost certainly misheard "jeans" as "penis" and decided that not only was this a problem with the other woman, but also that the world must be informed of this pressing danger.
"a trans woman! I had to stand directly behind her....I thought, 'this is going well', I'm handling The Situation fine'..."
translated: I saw a tall woman with broad shoulders. How would I get out of this alive? I thought. she has a PENIS. PENIS PENIS PENIS. through some force of PENIS I mean will I managed to PENIS behave normally towards her. My hands were PENIS PENIS PENIS shaking as I tried to dry them. summoning up all my PENIS courage I said 'dryer's crap innit'. she turned to me and said " yeah I'm just goiPENIS PENIS PENIS"
It's been a week and I'm still shaking. This proves trans women are the problem and I'm not weird. I'm fine. It's fine. If you think about it I'm the hero hePENIS!!!!!
very this

hello!! i’m so sorry to snoop in the tags, but i saw you mention a book you were reading where one of the women uses a spell to disguise herself as a man and the other one is into it!! may i ask what book that is? id love to read it or something like it
A Restless Truth by Freya Marske. Generally quite a good book, I thought, though it took me some time to get into it! It's a fantasy murder mystery/MacGuffin HuntTM story set on a luxury steamer in 1909.
The disguise part is very brief; the character is a generally femme bisexual cis woman, but she's played trouser roles in a music hall and used her magic powers to enhance the illusion. And she demonstrates that to her new lover (femme cis lesbian) while they're kissing at one point. It doesn't happen again after that.
I found it offputting, especially because the lesbian has just figured out whey she's never had any interest in men and now here she is briefly pretending the woman she's falling for is a man. Genderfuckery is not generally something I'm into in terms of reading romantic or steamy lit and trying to lose myself in it, but if that's something you like, that aspect of the scene will probably appeal!
(I should hardly have to say this, but it's Tumblr, so: obviously IRL I support people in whatever gender or presentation they find most authentic. You don't have to be attracted to someone to want them to have basic rights, and be happy and comfortable in their skin. I'm also perfectly content to read books that don't reflect my experience or what I personally find attractive. This specific book was very much in Comfort Food territory for me, though, so I approached it from that angle and that colored my reactions. Clear? Excellent.)

My bro and I were discussing the Live Action One Piece because I made him watch the trailer (he is still too hurt by the live action Death Note, apparently, to give this show even a chance).
Leading to me eventually bringing up that at some point I remember reading that Jamie Lee Curtis mentioned wanting to play Kureha, if they got that far.
Me: Because Chopper is her favorite, and she said if she was younger she'd love to be Robin, but now she'd be a great Kureha.
Bro: I'm really just impressed she knew who that was....
Me: She should show up to the audition in a 100 Berry shirt, just to prove her stuff.
Bro: Sounds like she's already got one.
Me: It wasn't like on a OP carpet either. It was at some premier, I think, or a con, I don't know..
Bro: Still, Kureha doesn't play a major role in the series after that, so it's just impressive to know who she is. It's like someone mentioning they like Dalton. Damn, now there is a fan.
Me: She said Chopper is her favorite so it seems like she was just picking the characters most likely to hug a small reindeer.
Me: "Obviously, I'd want to go for the character most likely to snuggle Chopper, but Zoro was already cast. So after Robin I figured Kureha gets the most Chopper time."
Bro: Her next choice was that lady from the Foxy pirates.
Me: She shows up like in full Foxy pirate gear.
Bro: Your Chopper is ours now!
Me: I mean, I'd pay to see it.

You know that corpse in the first Lord Peter Wimsey mystery who was a total mess, with bad nails and bad teeth and bad everything, but the killer shaved him and put him in a nice suit and disguised him as a wealthy gentleman? Every time I wear a new outfit I can relate to that guy.
