this one seems fun to learn not only because you get to be like "yeah I can open it even without a special belt buckle" but then while the femmes looking on are already heavy breathing you actually have to undo your belt buckle in order to perform the trick . . .

HRT should only be prescribed by a doctor and carefully monitored as it can shut down organs.
But as I say transition, HRT and surgery aren’t required, and that anyone who does want them should be able to get them, I’m not transmed.
Thinking about this woman who used CRISPR to make her testicles produce estrogen (and it worked)
I wish stuff like this was more researched and implemented widely
Getting a "feminization vaccine" once and escaping the dependency on regular hrt is the Holy Grail of transition
man fuck you. i don’t even have words for it. members of YOUR OWN PARTY just passed a law requiring teachers to out kids in washington and one of ours just died brutally from bullying that these laws condone and protect. you are no better than the party you claim to oppose
In memory of Nex, we must all recommit to our work to end discrimination and address the suicide crisis impacting too many nonbinary and transgender children.
“did you know they never found jfk’s body” is possibly my favorite bit, complete nonsense and basically no punchline that could ever satisfy the setup. 10/10 would do again
“miquella didn’t love his sister” mfs when i show them miquella sitting for hours, probably days and weeks, crying as he and st trina lovingly sew gold into their sister’s skin because they would do anything to keep her alive for even a minute longer
In regards to “weaving” it is an interesting parallel that Malenia has unalloyed gold woven into her flesh to stop the spread of rot. I wonder if her own numen/shaman genetics make her flesh more susceptible to fusing, which might be what got the rot god’s attention
Here’s what I’m trying to get at about the new polyamory discourse: I’m not interested in whether polyamory is “ethical.” I *do* think that the normalization of polyamory that is currently underway isn’t a threat to, but is the ultimate expression of, bourgeois individualism 1/
I hate y’all who lied to me and told me utena was yuri
I’m literally 10 episodes in and this shit is just straight and queerbaiting???? And their fans were insulting sulemio and saying shit about my girls 💀💀💀💀💀
people going "noo it's faerun" "noooo it's the dnd world not just for bg3" I do empathize but you cannot imagine the glee I feel at dnd somehow being cannibalized culturally by a thing it produced
the weird orientalism around third gender sprinkled in at the end really does feel like a nice little garnish on top to remind us how they REALLY feel. “these genders don’t care about womanhood, why do you?” is such a succinct way to demonstrate you haven’t put the care into +
i understand that a lot of people bashing polyamory don’t understand it or maybe have no frame of reference but i at LEAST need you guys to understand that bashing polyamory pretty often is a cover for queerphobia and all of you in the replies are just feeding into it
“why do you hate on dnd so much!! just go play indie games instead of complaining all the time!!!”
the fate of any non dnd game in the current ttrpg space:
@SoliSolstice
she’s right about this actually the sociopolitical implications of cars are insane not to mention the actual plot itself raises a bunch of questions about the world building
I'm only at the first 10 minutes of Redline and I'm ready to call it the coolest movie I've seen in my entire miserable life.
How is this movie even real? How is this Takeshi Koike FIRST MOVIE????
@femmelesbianism
so the bit is you say this, and then you wait for someone to inevitably say "what do you mean?" and you look at them incredulously and say "they never found the body, it drove off!" like it's common knowledge
also I feel like for trans butches the concept of passing is so weird and fraught like I respect the dolls but I do not know what you are cooking over there
if a woman made this hand sign at me i would not really be able to assume any kind of mutant related thing, i would just assume she was a lesbian either asking if i was cruising or letting me know she wanted it bad
You are in the Marvel Universe, and you are not a mutant. You stop at a diner with several loud customers. The busser/dishwasher flashes you this hand signal.
What do you do?
@AurNcol
also, objectively, it cannot. there is one(1) hrt supplement that might have adverse liver effects in the way of “shutting down an organ” (bica) and it’s easily caught in blood test AND most doctors refuse to prescribe bica under any circumstances anyways so it’s a moot point
remember: disability ALWAYS tires people out more because in order to manage pain, the emotional centers are always active, so that part of the brain that processes pain and the part that processes emotion are both working way over time 24/7, which burns you out intensely fast

oh bestie it’s worse than that when she was originally introduced in EA she still had those features and they made her more white for release 💀💀
that fact that james somerton literally launders right wing lies and conspiracies while attempting to sound academic is already bad, but it also brings to light how many times nazi germany is used in academia as a way to obscure legitimate home grown american bigotry and evil
okay here we go, a thread on butches and acts of service, and probably something that is going to extend into butch internality and desirability in general 🧵
@alizinhass
the fun answer is "butches love doing shit; butch chivalry"
the bad answer is "butches spend a lot of time not feeling wanted and so being needed for a job to do is the next closest thing"
hey man, that’s a really bad example, what the actual fuck. “recently i learned im roma” im sorry but your 23andme-ass example doesn’t prove any kind of “socialization”, being brown and growing up in a white area didn’t socialize me white it fucking isolated me from my peers
people will complain about this and then say shit like “wow why are butches always talking about feeling objectified or isolated snd never feeling desired?? that’s so weird” like no girl it’s not weird have y’all seen how you ACT
This is from the summary of the Cass review's focus groups with trans youth.
Pg 8 of the "Learning from Lived Experience: Summary of focus group insights", available here -
learning about these cultures and how these gebders actually work—including the problematic structures that still exist and existed pre colonialism—nor did you bother to speak to people of these indigenous identities or to any actual real life trans women about hrt and results. +
I think a lot of us have this feeling, seeing earlier transition people, and I think a lot of our internal "lack of sympathy" can be attributed many times to essentially PTSD: we all wish we could grab our younger selves and basically just shake them to get them to understand ++
The cool thing about The Very Hungry Caterpillar is it's totally normie-proof. No redditor will ever say "um, actually, you're supposed to side with the caterpillar"
just an all around shameful and harmful video that has the bonus of having the potential to actually cause real life harm to transfeminine people at a time when we are already becoming more and more vulnerable
i think more people should realize that if a man goes to sexually assault you and realizes you have a dick, he is not going to leave you alone, he now has permission to assault you and then kill you and then claim “trans panic” so he can get away with literally all of it
if a creepy man stalking me through the park who found himself attracted to me realized i had a dick i would have been 4x more likely to be sexually assaulted actually, but thanks
we all know that “how is the audience supposed to know they’re trans if peepee isn’t showing” is like. 200% of the reason right. we all understand that putting us in clothes runs the danger of them looking “too much like women” in these artists’ minds?
“In 1776 we had a revolution because we recognized that our interests and those of the British empires could not co-exist under the same entity. This contradiction burst into a revolution - the first of many more anti-colonial revolutions in the hemisphere”-Carlos Garrido
i bought a new car battery and it was like $220 and the girl at auto zone said “wanna see how much it would cost if you needed 99 of them?” and i said “okay” so she typed 99 in the quantity and the price went to $23000 and she said “thats how much it would cost” and i said “okay”

@grassfay
white women at pride were the ones staring me down for being brown and visibly trans even if they couldn’t tell which direction, and that’s not even saying shit about their genders or sexualities 💀💀
i’m going to fucking scream i’m not in the mood for haole nonsense like this today. do i think the gender and culture of māhū was perfect? no, but trans women as the majority of a very separated third culture is a topic for another time. māhū is something spiritual and important-
okay, well, twitter fucked this up, so let's try again: a thread on butch chivalry, butch physicality, and butch protection, all things that I would consider positive aspects of b/f but are often hijacked into something else that I think needs to be discussed. 🧵
@disrupthehuman
did you miss the replies of “you were 25 your brain hadn’t stopped developing🥺” and the “you’re not really an adult til you’re 30 you know!” from other white people
this is actually how I sleep as a big scary butch, if someone else is sharing the bed with me they WILL be held in the same fashion as the pillow in the diagram below
@KindaSortaMaebe
i guess i understand if this mentality is like lashing out from jealousy but like . . . we can be happy for people who manage to scrape together enough for FFS i think. like it’s real healthcare and does so much for us so i don’t get this mentality apart from straight up jealousy
a lot of people are saying this is just "straight"
I disagree
trans women are women, yes.
But, trans women don't always ditch the dick and two dingalings in the same equation definitely ain't regular ol' straight.
I like feminine presenting people. I don't care about hardware
me seeing people say lesbians are privileged when i have -200 in my bank account after bills and haven’t been able to pay for a new vial of estrogen yet and have to make a lot of fast and loose survival decisions instead of being able to be okay in my own skin and take a break
i understand the “stand and fight” mentality but like . . . i do want people to understand that for trans people it’s hard to have that fight in us. we have been in the beginning stages of a genocide against trans people for a while now, and i think it’s unfair to say that +
The more you read about wars and genocides, the more you realize that even if you were to leave the United States, the reach of this country is so expansive and violent that the only way to survive what you seek to escape is to fight it right…here.
because a lot of us butches, especially those who are transfem or poc or both, struggle with feeling wanted. often, in dating, we are either expected to always be the ones to show interest or make the first move, or we are treated as sexual objects and not people to be desired
@thornhawthorne
that tracks but i was already unsure about things like “do i trust a plastic surgeon not to touch my nose if i don’t want it changed” and you have assured me the answer is no 💀💀
and a lot of people notice this, and point it out, in any number of ways - a lot of femmes find it attractive, some people find it endearing that we want to try and help with every little thing, but a lot of people notice it for what it is; a desire to feel wanted in a space
a very common thing for most butches, including myself, is a connection to acts pf service - “can i come fix that for you?” or “do you want help with the move?” or for me, who is disabled, something like “do you need help cutting your hair” or “i can do hair color!” are my go to+
@armoredcoreSIX
it might genuinely be remnants of the old racist “japanese game bad” hate tbh since mecha is generally seen as an “anime” genre to people in the US at least
"the economy won't survive another lockdown!"
Who is the economy benefitting? We don't get healthcare, or housing, or a right to live. . . capitalists say profit incentive will make people work, but if I have to mask and burnout just for a job, I care about living, not profit
please please give this a b__st!!!
bills are starting to come due and i still haven’t been able to land anything solid for work!!! literally anything helps to try and make sure i can pay bills live

that manga ends with. . . an explicit endorsement of a genocide carried out with no motivation except hate . . . even before that how would you not see it 😭
i, personally, largely swore off dating apps due to being called “exotic” by yt people long before accepting my butchness, and i know i am not alone in this. we are objects for consumption, and in social settings i often feel as though i am essentially the same - there to cook, +
and it feels almost impossible to not slide into that stoicism as you realize you are not being heard or seen in a space - or worse for me personally, to not even realize as the more silly, lighthearted butch slowly turns into a mask for the stoicism underneath.
@shaun_vids
worth noting that “higher risk of heart disease and/or blood clots” is actually something they tell you over and over again when you’re starting informed consent HRT and doctors are giving you the risks of estrogen patches/pills/injections
