@bimbotheory Lol really would love if cis women could internalize that they can just swipe left and that there’s no wording of “no tr*nnies” that isn’t going to draw side eye.

@judgementshae I literally had a moment on the train the other day like “oh shit, there was a SECOND neighborhood boy I fooled around with when I was a teenager” (both boys incidentally grew up to be huge homophobes).

@Aliceinwunderl3 Happened to me literally the second I began socially transitioning shortly before hormones. Like, just to pick a random thing, previously random guys wouldn't catcall my cis then-gf when I was with her, but basically immediately they stopped reading her as being "with a man.".

@adybpt @twinfantasymtf lol babe literally the entire origin and framing of this discourse is “trans women are privileged in their rapes because they can’t get pregnant, checkmate transfeminists.” Like do you know you’re being a slimeball or are you just so pervasively slimy that you don’t even notice?.

@SamuelRGalloway @robertbalkovich @NairYasmin There are countless examples of this line of critique which can be readily found with a moment's effort, but if it helps to have an example on hand: I do not like the Buttigieges or their politics but this piece is unnecessarily vile and homophobic.

@razorfemme Lmao, I was just tempted by the thought too of doing the original thing with cis guys. Like walking up to some guy at a wedding or something like “love to meet one of my trans brothers out in the world…oh…oh, really??? Jeez, I could have sworn. My mistake I guess.”.

@Lubchansky I came out on Facebook recently, which I was nervous about because mine is 85% apolitical NH townies from high school, but then all of the cis women were like “you’re amazing sweetie” and all of the cis guys were like “that’s chill dude.” The one problem guy was an anti-CRT freak.

@hecubian_devil I mean, yes, this is a conversation that could be had, but it’s never the one that’s actually on offer. The actually existing concept of “male socialization” as it operates in the discourse is not “something to unpack” but an innate stain.

@talia_bhatt Honestly, the brainwashing insulations are insulting enough. Like, I have zero strong feelings about Benjanun, her presence in the discourse is entirely incidental to me. What I do have happen to have strong feelings about, shockingly enough, is my rape being minimized.

@scumbelievable Always fun when it escalates into a proper discourse and you invariably get a nice full-out “you know, let’s be honest, when you think about it, the actual men of trans people, just from a certain point of view you know, when you really examine the dynamics, are actually…”.

Love this argument that pops up among leftists who will be right wringers in five years like “people outside of the west conceptualize queerness differently! Somehow this means it’s not a big deal when non-western queers are brutalized and murdered.”.
@purplewaves7 1. nowhere does my tweet even say that. 2. "LGBTQ" is a Western term. queer people exist everywhere but conceptualize themselves differently. Western frameworks cannot be imposed on the rest of the world. Global South countries can develop their own social policies. Look at Cuba.

@hecubian_devil I mean ok that’s fair, I’m sorry you haven’t been able to. Maybe we’re talking past one another then, because like yes, we should be able to talk about our lives, but that’s just different to me from discourse about “male socialization” as an inherent group quality of trans women.

@Wellstonist It was a very much a thing of the moment as people were grasping to conceptualize “what happened.” It was on a lot of book club lists and lib reading lists at the time. Honestly I think part of its appeal for libs post-16 was that it’s an explicitly non-socialist book on “class.”.

So, we found Jessie and did an exchange, but it turns out she took *someone else’s* luggage, who then presumably took our luggage. This new piece of luggage is entirely filled with clothes except for one business card for someone in NJ named Phyllis Bowen. I am losing my mind.
If someone named Jessie just took a red suitcase off a Boston to NYC Peter Pan at Port Authority that isn’t yours, well, I have your suitcase lol (at least I’m assuming, given that it was the last suitcase on the bus and mine was gone).

ONLY IN EVERETT:."“I personally have not experienced racism in Everett,” said Councilor Wayne Matewsky, who is white.". In Everett, the first Black woman on historically white council stands alone via @BostonGlobe @StephanieEbbert.
