it makes me sad the way cis women are so terrified of and disgusted by their own body hair. and i'm not talking "i have to shave for sensory reasons" i mean i keep seeing videos of women using hair identifier spray on their faces and hands so they can shave the tiniest barely-there bits of peach fuzz that came free with their bodies. hair that serves a purpose and that purpose is cleanliness and protection. i mean when i was in elementary school girls who had barely hit puberty were talking about shaving their arms. i mean full-grown adult women who will have a breakdown if they see two days of stubble on their legs/crotch/ jaw/pits because god forbid you don't look like a perfect plastic barbie doll. god forbid your body that keeps you alive comes with hair that may not be soft and glossy and photogenic. some women are so afraid of having any hair apart from their head and eyebrows that they've uno reversed themselves into six different kinds of gender dysphoria that they can't recognize as such because they're convinced that this unnatural state of highly-groomed capital-informed beauty is how women have always been. you're so scared of looking "gross" or "ugly" or "mannish" that you can't even look at your body in the mirror and recognize what it is. sister you are an ape. why are you so determined to deny your nature.

For me this isn't even about empathy or sympathy (though there's value in those as well), it is just straight-up a human rights thing. Once you have decided that there is *any* category of human that can be treated as less-than-human you've said that humanity is conditional, and so are the rights that come with it. You've already lost, you've granted the fascists their point because *you agree with them* that some people don't deserve to be treated like humans.

I should draw rouge the bat. But in what circumstance

[threeunrelateddescriptors]

There's a current trend amongst the video-heavy social media platforms right now that is funny but I want someone to do the opposite.

The trend: person in the video puts a caption/headline that reads something like "Every exercise has a purpose" or "Every stretch has a purpose" and the video shows a clip of them doing an exercise in the gym, and then that same movement being used in an everyday situation.

They show 1-3 exercises in the gym, and the equivalent of that in a "daily life" clip.

And then the last gym exercise is something like hip thrusts or doing a really big middle split, and they look over at the camera and raise an eyebrow and do not show a "daily life" equivalent of the exercise.

The implication being "this is for sex purposes, tee-hee"

And it is funny/cute.

But what *I* want is for someone to do the exercises that could be easily assumed to be for sex purposes but they're all mundane. Like, you're in the gym kneeling on the floor and raising up and down (e.g., "riding your partner" cowboy/girl style) , and then it goes to the "daily life" clip and it's a completely mundane activity like practicing standing up from kneeling while gardening while your hands are full of gardening tools. And it's 1-3 clips of what could be construed as explicit-reasons exercises, with utterly mundane "daily life" clips.

And then the last exercise is like, a bicep curl. And that's where they look over at the camera and raise an eyebrow and the video ends. Implying that the bicep curl is somehow the explicit-and-for-sex-purposes exercise.

Not sure how many of y'all saw this, but the combined misogyny-ableism-transphobia was off the charts. I am glad that he did get his top surgery, has support, and that its pursuing it's goals to advocate for other disabled + trans people.

If hearing Trump say that Ukraine started the war with Russia infuriates you – donate to help Ukraine persevere. If you're a USA citizen and you're upset and ashamed of your current government – take part in protests, educate those around you when you can, and donate to help Ukraine persevere. If you know at least a little about history, and you see that the current processes in the world lead to WW3 – donate to help Ukraine persevere, save democracy, and show dictators around the world that they can't take everything they want by power.

Write to your representatives, engage in protests, share whatever you can, or encourage others to do so. This war is so much more than you can imagine. It's the start of something that has the potential to affect everyone, no matter where you are or what you believe in. The world is a dangerous place, and it needs every one of us to do what we can to make it safer. Don't just think good - do good, in whichever small way you can.

I'm wondering if an additional confounding factor is the secrecy for families of those who *are* supported in their transition.

If you (the family) support and love your person and help them transition, you (the family) also likely need to be all in to protect them.

Like, no one ever mentions their daughter. You never had a daughter. You always had a son. Their siblings always had another brother. There was never any female child of that name/build/age ever in your family.

Which would skew how someone outside of The Know would see the stats. Because that family never had a daughter at any point in time. It was all sons all the way down.

I'm just wondering if there's another side to the coin, in which the supportive families and the people who could transition, they were successful because absolutely NO ONE could know, and so NO ONE knows.

I sometimes see folks talk about the lack of historical transmasculine narratives and culture in comparison to transfeminine ones, and regardless of validity I just want to say that it’s incredibly cruel to draw the conclusion that it just must’ve been easier for us/less necessary rather than acknowledging that for a lot of human history people AFAB were treated as literal property with very little autonomy. Hell, in the states, people AFAB weren’t even allowed to open bank accounts without permission from their “husband” until 1974. Regardless of how things are now, I think it’s incredibly important to keep in mind how transmasculine bodies and narratives were controlled (and still continue to be) by governmental and societal powers by way of our assigned sex, along with our transness.

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr��s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

We've had various cats through my life and generally I can categorize them into: Change Their Environment, Adapt To Their Environment.

The CTE cats would see something, e.g., pillows not arranged to their liking. And would go about moving the pillows and throwing them to the floor or whatever, to make the sofa/bed/spot how they wanted it.

The ATTE cats would generally see something, e.g., pillows not arranged to their liking. And would simply plop themselves down on top of the pillow, oftentimes looking deeply uncomfortable or precarious.

The CTE cats would be the ones to inform us of "Problems" such as 'food has not been given at the food giving time' or 'there is a squirrel on the patio and I don't like it there'

The ATTE cats would stare at us, unobstructively, sometimes to see if we would realize there was a "Problem". But mostly they'd see a "Problem" and avoid/ignore it.

Having realized this, I now try to approach my life with this perspective: Am I going to try to change my environment, or am I going to live with/adapt to it. In my brain, I short-hand that to: am I going to move the pillows?

Obviously I want you to take care of your pets and make sure they get food and fresh water on a regular basis, but cats being huge drama queens and screaming hysterically at you and acting like they’re tragic famine victims who haven’t eaten in weeks and are about to drop dead from starvation right mcfuckin now, because you’re 10 minutes late feeding them is always going to be one of the funniest things to me
