putting the word "twink" up on the shelf

[the-mislead]

if you’re a white creator and your brown/black characters are always sassy, reckless, aggressive or cold and your white characters are always soft, demure, shy and introverted you should think about maybe why you did that

[the-mislead]

if you unironically use TMA/TME labels: blocked

if you refer to trans men as "birthday boys": blocked

if you say men and masculinity are inherently violent: mega blocked!!!

"butbutbut its okay to make jokes about forcing trans men to detransition because its for the lesbians! because lesbians need more women, jokes yk!"

trans men, don't even stand behind me, stand next to me on this one because this ^ ^ bullshit is the stupidest excuse for transandrophobia i've ever seen, and stop fucking using us lesbians as your tool for it.

nice try terf, me and the other lesbians are laughing at you for it. me and the trans men are laughing at you for it.

conversion therapy is hatred btw

in case yall forgot

cuz way too many people think terfs """love""" trans men/mascs and "just want to convert us"

that is hatred. that is violence. that is abuse. do not forget that.

ive seen quite a few posts along the lines of "transandrophobia isn't real but with your help we can make it real"

and it absolutely baffles me, because simply by making that statement they are proving that transandrophobia is real. they are saying that they themselves are bigoted towads trans men and trans mascs, and that they want it to be even worse than it currently is for a minority with some of the highest SA and suicide rates. the level of cognitive dissonance you have to have to be able to say something like that beggars belief

how can they watch as trans rights are being stripped away and decide to demonize half of the fucking community? what is wrong with these fucking people

Holy **** oh right okay. So I was about to make a post about how using speech to text has already been a game changer for me but as you can see by the line of asterix at the start of this post the bloody thing auto censors swear words. (Yet bloody got through, ig Because it is a description and also British slang.). Hint: the word I was trying to say there starts with F and ends with K.

Oh and guess what else you can't say you can't say? **** [Nipples]. had to type that myself. penis is ok but **** [clitoris] isn't, and all my attempts to say "clit" were Misunderstood, which may just be my speech but at this point I am not willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Vagina is OK too but every time I say it there is a moment when an * shows up on screen first before the full word does. this doesn't happen when I say the word penis.

It is completely heinous. Anybody who needs speech to text is immediately forced to comply with the rules set out by people in a position of power and then enforced by a machine — a machine that is a very powerful accessibility tool. Imagine trying to dictate a letter to a doctor or fill in an E consult with speech to text, only to have words of your anatomy censored as if they are taboo. there is already far too much stigma around genital physical health — and note that I could say genital but can't say **** [clitoris] — for it to be okay for these words to be censored.

And even if somebody just wants to swear In a message to their friends or write smut/**** [pornography], they should be able to. There is no justification for this feature. No reason for it to be default.

I'm trying to find a way around this. There is a settings icon on the little speech to text bar that comes up, but this only gives me options For the speech typing launcher, auto punctuation, and to set the default microphone. it's making me extremely angry

so much of the horror genre is informed by the metaphor of queer/transness as monstrousness. especially emphasizing the amount of horror that depends on the audience's repulsion at seeing a human body changing into a new, other body. I Saw the TV Glow is about the horror of NOT transitioning. the horror of static. the horror of looking into yourself and being terrified of what you see. the horror of seeing who you are and choosing to do nothing about it. the horror of looking away. and by god is it terrifying.

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU. Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

Woah mama just reminding my followers that TERF ideology is fundamentally evil and not welcome anywhere near my blog hummina hummina hummina

We're privileged because we're men, but also because we 'get to' be girls.

We're privileged to not be expected to be a parent and stay home because we're men, but we're also privileged to be able to get pregnant (even by SA) because we have the parts for it.

We're privileged because we've transitioned away from misogyny, but also because people see us as women at all.

We're privileged if we get hate crimed because they probably thought we were trans women, but also we're privileged because we don't actually get hate crimed because society loves trans men.

We're privileged if we can pass as a man and if we can pass as a woman and because we never pass as just a trannys.

I'm starting to think we don't know what privilege is.
