being on estrogen is so fucked up. all i wanna do is show off my tits to everyone but apparently that's "weird" and "inappropriate"

This perhaps determines more about my fashion choices than I'd care to admit.

If you're a cis boy in 2026, I genuinely want you to ask yourself why. Why are you cisgender? Is this something you want to be, or something you feel you have to? This isn't a bit. I want you to think about that, about whether you're doing this because you genuinely want to or because you feel like you don't have a choice. And if you find it's the latter, I'm here for you.

do you WANT to be a man or are you only "okay" with being a man? are you "fine" with being a man? you didn't get the choice before, but you have one now, would you choose it again?

is being a man really what you want? or is it just what you've been told you want all your life?

I'm curious how many folks didn't get the pun in Adam Smasher's name until reading this post because we typically don't call particle accelerators "atom smashers" anymore.

Being real i didnt think it was a pun i just thought he was called that because it was The 80s

The two coincide more often than you might think – a lot of obnoxiously edgy 1980s villain names are also goofy wordplay.

At first I thought "who doesn't know particle accelerators are sometimes called 'atom smashers'" and then I realized 1) that most people are only broadly aware of the existence of particle accelerators and that's the nerdiest thought I've ever had, and 2) even I primarily know particle accelerators are sometimes called atom smashers because of the DC Comics superhero of the same name, who fucking no one else knows

In my experience, your average layperson is possibly aware of individual particle accelerators from having seen them name-checked in news article headlines, but doesn't know the term "particle accelerator", and isn't aware that, for example, the Large Hadron Collider is part of a specific class of devices and not just a weird one-of-a-kind contraption. Heck, they probably couldn't even tell you whether the "large" in LHC refers to the hadrons, or to the collider.

Well now I need to google if the L in LHC refers to the H or the C

Okay, it's called the Large Hadron Collider cause the Collider is Large (27km circumference)

Some quick research suggests that hadrons are generally pretty small

recently while poking around a little on reddit (mistake), i discovered a post on a subreddit called something along the lines of 'leftwingmen' discussing frustration with progressive people refusing to entertain misandry as a concept. this was about as hilarious and pathetic as you would expect, but the top comment suggested using 'trans*ndrophobia' as a foot in the door to get people to admit to the existence of misandry and leverage from there. it is unsurprising and we have known this for some time, but it is still unsettling to see tboy gamergate being uplifted by the same demographic who gave us the original.

someone in the tags expressed a little incredulity, which I suppose is fair, so I went back to check my work. I did actually make a mistake in this post, - it's not the top comment, it's comment number four when sorted by most upvotes. The screenshot attached has it highlighted, which is why it's showing up first.

Oh... you still believe in boys? I thought everyone grew out of that as a kid

My first egg cracked in 2016. I came out as agender. changed my name to Andi and my pronouns to they/them, started wearing dresses/skirts/crop tops, and dyed my hair all sorts of funky colors. I was starting to be happier with myself in a way I'd never really been as a boy. No one. Not one single person, in real life or on the internet, ever made it seem like being a woman was an option for me. Everything pointed in the opposite direction.

I watched the election cycle that year with dread. I watched the vote totals come in at bar with some friends after my teaching gig for the night was over. We drank in silence and in misery. I cried in my truck on the way home, knowing that life was just going to get harder for people like me. I still couldn't call myself transgender. I didn't think that word was for me.

I read Tranny by Laura Jane Grace. I really identified with parts of it, but her story as a punk rocker and an addict was so dissimilar to mine that I didn't think I could be a woman, didn't think I would ever be allowed to call myself that.

I drank and smoked myself almost to the point of death over the next two years. I was working nearly 100hrs a week between bartending and teaching, and was semi-regularly driving the few blocks home from the bar slightly drunk. Not intentionally, but y'know. If something happened and my life ended? No big deal. Every relationship in my life crumbled around me. It wasn't until I hit rock FUCKING bottom that I thought to myself "what if I'm a woman?"

If anyone had told me, even once, that maybe I was a trans woman. Maybe estrogen could help. Maybe transition might make me happier. Maybe I wouldn't have been driving a 2005 F-150 with almost 200k miles on it 90mph an hour and a half to sleep with a girl who hadn't loved me in years. Maybe I wouldn't have buried myself in half a bottle of whiskey every night after work. Maybe I would've never started smoking. Maybe I'd still have any of the friends I made before the pandemic. Maybe I Wouldn't Have Been So Fucking Miserable.

So yeah. Forcefem today. Forcefem tomorrow. Forcefem every day forever until not a single girl has to go through what I did, or worse.

We laugh at how The Art of War is basically just, "An army can't fight if the soldiers aren't eating," but I'm reading this document about conservation of ancient yew trees and it legitimately says, "You should never fill the center of a hollow yew with concrete," so I think that probably making blatantly obvious statements is just the bane of being a specialist in anything

The thing that really gets me about the anti isff force is how quick they are to just lie. Like, you point out "she made text posts they didn't like" and they freak the fuck out about it. They rant and rave but you continue to point out "that's a text post she hasn't harmed anyone" and then they start making shit up. The famous one being the child sex ring thing, which is just literally impossible if you know anything about her life. But there was some chick insisting isff was dating a 16 year old which like. No she's not? No one can seem to provide proof to that claim. The only one I saw was a chat log where someone used a screenshot of my blog, which would mean they think that I'm 16. Like. What?

But a lot of them call her a sex offender. And you push them on it, who did she do anything to, and none of them have an answer. They call her a sex pest, as if that term doesn't have an extremely transmisogynistic history, for *reads notes* untagged kink. A thing that only makes sense if you're an uptight conservative Christian loser.

Like, genuinely. It's transmisogyny all the way down. A text post ain't hurting no one. And if you point that out they misgender you and try to ruin your life.

I need to stop looking at chainmail reddit '^' this girl is going to single-handedly make my crafts life so much harder! (Just look how good her work is!!! 🫠 <3)
