Even as the state paints over trans spaces and identities our roots are too deep, we thrive in the cracks and shadows beyond legibility and state comprehension

Guy who's never done a single bit of activism in his life: "are you sure you're doing enough activism it seems like you're just making excuses for why you don't do more activism"
Good lord what an incredible disconnect between interviewer and interviewee
@paulderokha
That's also like... The whole point of reading philosophy. If you read philosophy absorb the information and make no generative thoughts from it you are in fact doing it wrong
@SomeBWord
I work in mental health and consider the work I do pretty important to peoples lives, but at the end of the day, you cannot provide quality care if you are tired exhausted and burnt out. The people doing valuable work that improves peoples lives deserve fair working conditions...
@lNTRUSlVETHOT
This is the part of the replies that really got me, so so many "she can't be a real woman because she loves herself, take that liberals" comments
Like damn maybe cis woman should try being trans then if it means they get to experience happiness about their body
@krystalwolfy
Okay but my first thought when I saw thia was that it was two gay couples taking their kids to the beach. Like the dude on the left has such a parent smile
@SomeBWord
...and compensation more than basically anyone else (not that anyone shouldn't have access to good work/wages obv). Properly supporting the people who work their is the best way to make any workplace work better and nowhere is a workplace working better more important than here
@nomoreevictions
I don't think there is literally anything you could do to get landlords to voluntarily not raise rent, the city could pay off the mortgage on the building and cover all maintenance costs and they would raise the fucking rent
@Trauma_Posting
Okay but domme who knows your desires and limits telling her little feral sadist when to pause and what to try, using another as her tool as she maintains complete control over the whole situation,,,,,,, very cute

Everytime I am at a training and someone refers to the people we serve as "consumers" of our services a little piece of me dies
@lainey_henn
Yeah it's really so beautiful, esp how like how I can want to rail you but if you aren't interested that's totally fine and we're still pals and it's not like weird or whatever, sexual desire feels like something that completely redefines cis relationships and that kinda sucks

My completely unfounded vibe of it was like one of those trans people who are like "I am diagnosed with gender dysphoria I will spend the rest of my life struggling with this horrible affliction, no trans rights cuz then I might start liking myself and that would be bad"
@Ranting_Trans
I think the systemic power of the bureaucracy is something a lot of people need to grapple with more and is one of the reasons building robust local support networks is so important, individually one can resist street violence (tho ofc community defense is even better) but the...

@CaptainNGM
This response sucks, don't be defensive about it and "it was a different time" literally 2017 just say: "you're right that sucks we do it better now"

Teacher getting pulled out of his classroom by the cops, yelling over his shoulder, "now class I want you write about what this experience made you think about state power over speech and connect it to what we've been reading in class, the substitute expects one page tomorrow!"
@ktemkin
See I do this not to sound less agressive but because I am terrified I got some minor fact slightly wrong and someone will point it out and I will instantly fucking die
@lizduckchong
Dude at a rave very awkwardly asked my pronouns then a little even more awkwardly and uncertainly asked if I "used to be a he/him". He then proceeded to spend 2 straight minutes talking about the violence he would do to anyone who was transphobic to me.
Incredibly funny shit
@dananddrum
@hasanthehun
Yeah and also the fact he chose not to do this with a friend, which would clearly be more fun if it was just a lighthearted paintball tag thing, makes me think that guy got shot a whole lot when he was caught, probably had some nasty bruises

Following the little trail of steam by their nose but it's just one giant line, they follow it to its end and find a collar and tag on the windowsill
It's a concubine's duty to help her prince fuck her girlfriend while the other people in the room play fortnite and read the schizotypal section of the DSM 5 while engaging in amateur psychiatry (what is love also inexplicably playing)
@GcMisogyny
What happens when you forget gender doesn't spring from sex, but rather sex is an arbitrary set of characteristics grouped by their coherence to the concept of gender, and such a grouping always fails to account for the huge amount of diversity in the human body

This is also so useful with mini painting and other hobby stuff because you get to see how to fix some of the mistakes you will inevitably do. Like I'm not an amazing painter I don't want a tutorial made for people who don't mess up, give me the tutorial for idiots
Dentist comes in and says
