ive been wanting to write up some more grounded and materialist analysis of transageness, but ive been unable to come up with anything the advances beyond "age is just as arbitrary as gender" in more words

I think a lot about how, if the glorious violent revolution happens, every kid with significant medical needs in a hospital where power gets cut will die.

You can decide you're willing to sacrifice your own life, but you don't get to tell everybody else on the planet that they're acceptable collateral damage.

I will say that last post isn't a reading comprehension issue, its just outright terf talking points.

Trans man character : *exists*

Fandom all the time for some reason:

Also to top it all off OP calls Togata she/her multiple times. Also nonbinary people are trans…

when will we talk about the willful helplessness epidemic on here. So many people on this god forsaken website demand to have any and all things that exist outside their personal experiences directly, personally pre-chewed and spoonfed to them. And when you do, they'll then ask for you to swallow for them, too, because, you see, in THEIR experience..,

Building things like mutual aid societies and other forms of proletarian self-help either fails or fails by success. When they fail, they fail. When they become strong enough to actually do something, they are either incorporated into the state (cf. Black Panther food program becoming WIC) or by taking pressure off the state to provide those services - the state will happily put up with voluntarism if it saves it money. And in the rare instances where those become a real threat to the state, the state will step in and destroy them

leftist media discussion: "While this show said "trans rights" directly without any ambiguity, one plot element of this children's show could be considered morally questionable after 25 degrees of separation, so the author must be a heckin fascist"

right wing media discussion: "Well it happened. The reboot of Female Protagonist Fights Unsubtle Allegory for Capitalism That I Was Too Young to Notice as a Kid -our last bastion of apolitical entertainment- has gone woke because they made a supporting character black"

centrist media discussion: "did you see the latest episode of Sword Hero Cleanses the Undesirables on crunchyroll? best show of the year imo"

i need people online to understand that pegging is just a sex act. it has no morality or sexuality or politics attached. it's not inherently feminist, it's not a personality type, it's not something to be inflicted on anyone. it's literally just a sex act, nothing more.

people like cara delevingne wearing a "peg the patriarchy" shirt or whatever only make sense if they view pegging as some kind of degradation or domineering. "have consensual sex with the patriarchy"? does that make any sense? no, and neither does your shirt. shut the fuck up.

maybe there's something to be said about men who aren't so caught up in a homophobic mindset that they don't freak out at the idea of penetration, but that's more of a non-behavior than anything. and men who don't enjoy it aren't misogynistic or anything either. it's all completely neutral. stop treating pegging as anything other than just a kind of sex act people can do!!!!! that's all it is!!!!

very upsetting that “gender critical” and “radfem” are red flags like how dare these transphobic bastards ruin these good words

i hope the debate over whether or not it was misogynistic for bernie sanders to wear a coat continues for at least another three days

“Trump is a Gryffindor. Trump is the Gryffindorst Gryffindor to ever Gryffindor. Literally the only reason people think otherwise is because Gryffindor is “the good guys house”. Come the fuck on, he even looks like a lion. Also, GWB is Hufflepuff, Obama is Ravenclaw, and HRC is Slytherin.”

posts that will age badly if biden wins

I said this before but an election day reminder: people who claim that if Biden is elected some vague group of “centrists” or “liberals” will go back to pretending everything is fine and drop any advocacy are really showing both their ignorance of liberal and left-leaning advocacy organizations and also making it very obvious they were apolitical or even right-leaning until 2016

and also idk, it’s been 4 years of Trump, literally hundreds of thousands are dead due to government inaction on the pandemic in addition to other deaths from family separation policies and hate crimes, waiting for the revolution is quite literally slower than just voting for someone who is better

Literally brain worms in all these reblogs. OP sourced their shit and is literally right about all of the above if you disagree you are a clown

Things food snobs are wrong about

“Organic” isn’t better for you or for the environment. It actually means nothing of any significance at best and is sometimes even the more wasteful, more hazardous option.

A shitload of “natural” food including a lot of imported produce is grown and harvested through slave labor in inhumane conditions.

Pizza, fried chicken, french fries, fast food, candy bars and chips ARE nutritious. They are loaded with good things. Just because they have an abundance of excess fats and might not be healthy as a staple doesn’t mean they are “nutritionless” or that their calories are “empty.” Those are hokey buzzwords pushed by the people in charge of how much you pay for the alternatives.

Eating healthier costs more. Much more. Looking down on people for their reliance on cheaper food is extremely classist and expecting everyone to be able to live off fresh veggies and cage-free meats is insultingly unrealistic in the modern world.

“Processed” literally only means the food went through some kind of automated process. This can be literally the exact same thing a human being would have done to the food for it to be labeled “unprocessed.” Being processed does not make something less healthy.

Chemicals with long, scary names are part of nature. An apple is full of compounds you probably can’t pronounce. A shorter ingredients label only means they didn’t bother listing all 300 things the product is actually made of and HAS to be made of.

Preservatives, artificial flavors and other additives are not the devil. Most are harmless and in general they are part of the reason you haven’t already starved to death or died of a food borne illness.

MSG is not bad for you at all.

The fact that something might be made of “scrap” meats like pig snouts or chicken necks only means one thing: that we didn’t waste perfectly normal, edible meat.

I DON’T KNOW HOW I FORGOT THIS IN MY FIRST VERSION OF THIS POST BUT GMO’S ARE NOT DANGEROUS TO EAT. GMO’S ARE SAVING LIVES. YOU’VE ALREADY EATEN GMO’S BEFORE YOU EVEN KNEW THE TERM. IT’S FINE. EAT THEM.
