"if you don't let me use a slur for trans women made by 4chan to define my transmisogynist stereotypes then you are a bigot"

crazy that it's difficult for some people to understand that it's normal to be a girl before you are a woman

cars are so much scarier than planes. i've literally never been afraid on an airplane like first of all being on a plane is fun. second of all you're in a big as fuck vehicle with no other vehicles around for miles and the person at the wheel is a professional and not just Some Guy. one time i was getting a ride home from a nonbinary friend of a friend who was driving very erratically down the highway at 1am and they said to me unprompted "i have ocd so i only drive at speeds that are multiples of five"

this was years ago but i ran into them again at a party and they didn't recognize me (transition) so they started hitting on me and wouldnt stop talking to me about criminal minds yaoi. and i've never had this happen with an airline pilot, at least not an openly airline pilot

Text: Don’t act like everyone loved my father. He was assassinated. A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America. Most hated. Many who quote him now and evoke him to deter justice today would likely hate, and may already hate, the authentic King.

looking back at old depictions of oviraptor is really funny to me now, cause like. this is what we used to think they looked like:

until eventually, we figured out that these were much farther down the line towards being birds, as opposed to the non-avian dinosaurs, and figured out it would have had very bird-like feathers, and lo and behold, you put the feathers on it and:

well gee, doesn't that just look so much more like an actual animal?? in hindsight it's now just like. how did we ever even think that first idea made sense. it looks like a plucked turkey. and that's because it turns out that depiction was essentially a plucked bird. incredible

it’s hella transmisogynistic & just disingenuous when people act like trans women have some sort of privilege by not being able to conceive children & act like infertility among women is a privilege under a natalist patriarchy.

trans women are a class of women & we are treated as such, we are compared to the cis standard of womanhood & not being able to meet these standards is a basis & justification of our oppression. under a natalist patriarchy we like all infertile women are oppressed for not meeting reproductive standards placed on women. natalist patriarchy views women as baby factories & thus infertile women are bad product, there’s no privilege in being viewed as bad product.

like ik these people don’t saying shit like: “you are privileged for being infertile” to infertile cis women because it’s extremely apparent that fertile women are treated beater in society at large than infertile ones.

I can’t feel my hands or feet anymore.

The cold is destroying us, the storms won’t stop, and the shelter gives no protection.

My family is shaking, is in pain there is no warmth, no safety.

Words have lost their meaning... and cries for help have no echo... #Gaza has drowned.

I appeal to your humanity, please donate for my children😭😭😭

harassment accounts will post a mountain of screenshots as "evidence" of why someone deserves the harassment. and you look and it's just all posts that are Fine. like yeah i liked these posts when they were on her account before you got her kicked off the site for Posting too good. nice argument

like lets not mince words, this is about isff and this is about patricia taxxon and this is about everyone else who has been screenshot and harassed by this disgusting campaign.

these people fundamentally have some kind of disconnect from reality where they fail to realize that posts are, in fact, just posts.

"she used the phrase forceplural, don't they understand that's literally mind control abuse child?" okay so that was a post. there is no cult of mind control giving children headmates against their will, that was a Post.

"i didn't consent to see this kink!" okay so that's not how consent works. that was a post, you're on the internet you'll occasionally see posts you don't like. it is your job to curate your blog experience. a Post cannot rape you.

"this is literally a cult of child rapists infiltrating the trans community, it's a deeply thought out cynical scheme to groom everyone!" okay so no, it's actually just Posts. there's this thing called "friends" and sometimes they interact with each other, and sometimes they joke or flirt or even talk sincerely and politically about things you don't like to be confronted with. if you believe a Post is enough to warrant imprisonment or death due to association to a "crime", why do you keep telling people you want to maim and murder them? that's a crime too, yknow

the way these people talk about what is, in actuality, a small, loosely connected group of friends and mutuals, nearly all of them transfem, is so fucking disconnected from reality. these people are so eager to find a minority they're allowed to hate, a person they're allowed to kill, and no matter how much faux concern and therapyspeak and liberal language they dress it up in they are still hounding and harassing and calling for the imprisonment and death of trans women they don't like. that can never be acceptable.

they will deny the connection to kiwifarms, to 4chan, to mass stalking campaigns of other trans women, because this time it's just and righteous. meanwhile they will turn around and accuse a small group of acquaintances as being a real actual cult because of, yknow. reasons? they will sneer at the stupid evil tranny for "block evading" by recreating accounts, mock them for blocking or turning off anons or not responding to every horrible allegation. meanwhile they will turn around and cry about how "the cult is reporting my blog and i had to remake", will refuse to engage in good faith (or even at all) with even the slightest criticism because surely anyone who disagrees with them must be part of the pedo cult too!

these people are throwing around phrases like "pedo cabal" and talking about maiming any trans woman who even tangentially disagrees with them because "well hey you're probably a pedo then too". nevermind the fact that they refuse to actually listen to what anyone is saying about pedophiles. they just want an excuse to act out the violent justice power fantasy, to lock up the evil tranny groomers, to beat the shit out of a girl they don't like. they're just like their fox news parents.

they are not listening to victims, they are not helping victims, they are so disconnected form what actual harm and abuse is like, and they would be legitimately dangerous people if they weren't also so incompetent that their posts are laughably unserious.

it's disgusting that they are running rampant and unchecked while my friends get their online presence hounded and stalked and deleted again and again. for fucking shame.

Posting nuance on tumblr will have you go "sometimes A is partially true while B is also partially true" and get people arguing

as if both of those are disagreeing with the statement they're responding to

Talk to the genie, have the monkey paw-

A malicious genie responding to the exact phrasing of the post would be an improvement. Users on this website just squint at the words and use some of them to make up a post to get mad at.

I'm gonna get phthaloplasty. Oh yeah my shit's all gonna be a serene sea green, or perhaps a tidal blue

is this your first time being demon lord? really bro? you put karmic justice and veil of crosswinds on your heavenly general of water. it was a beast type bro it gets neither of the purple rank gear synergies so i put that unoptimized stat check out of its misery. im the hero and i know better than you dude. no dont play it off you put two turtle dragon minibosses on an airship and they both did a one turn cycle suicide shell crush off the edge of the ship. your hijacker demons had the crying status effect bro that was their entire lifeline. i just dont think you know what youre doing

last thing about this because in greg tech im almost done with manufacturing the rubber i need but like

how can you even jokingly say something like this and pretend you are not insanely racist

saw a youtube video about last year's ao3 scrape for some AI site and i truly like....honestly could not give a fuck. sorry.

ao3's statement on this topic kinda cuts to the core of the issue: "It is an unfortunate reality that anything that is publicly available online can be used for reasons other than its initial intended purposes."

it's truly like. sorry!!! putting your work out there means that people have free rein to misinterpret it, or criticize it, or write the same idea in their own words, or print it out and make blackout poetry of it! if someone is wholesale plagiarizing your work and posting it back on the site, ao3 has multiple mechanisms to resolve this. otherwise you gotta shrug and move on. your work being repurposed in ways you don't like can feel bad, but like. unfortunately, if you create fanworks, there is no way to come after uses of your work that you don't like without kicking yourself in the face in the process.

polls on this site are like:

who are the more iconic lesbians?

literal textual undeniable romantic pairing between two women who is beloved internationally and has been for decades: 0.007%

two characters (it can be het or gay) who were on the same show on different seasons but they are from 🇺🇸: 100000000782%

Cis people are so fucking bizarre!

Every time I mention that I've had bottom surgery for whatever reason — even if I don't give any details about the surgery — they get really uncomfortable and have this sad look on their face. No matter how supportive of trans women they are. I even had one of them tell me once "I'm sorry you had to go through that"!!!!

Like, you know I chose this, right? It wasn't an accident. I very much wanted this. It was the greatest thing to ever happen to me and improved my life in a way that words cannot express. WHY ARE YOU SAD? WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE IM SAD ABOUT IT?!?!

(That is a rhetorical question. We all know why...)
