So I've got this friend whose nervous because she's trans and dating this guy who she hasn't told yet because they've only been on a two dates. For this story let's call the friend Jane and the guy she was dating Jason. Happy ending don't worry. So I tell Jane to bring her boy over to a bbq I'm having and she can tell him she's trans at my place surrounded by queer and trans people who love her and will support her if he ends up being awful. She waits till the end of the bbq to tell him the news, by which point the rest of us have learned that Jason is a kind, friendly, empathetic, hard working, dummy. So we sit down, all of us a little worried about this gym bro's reaction when she tells him she's trans, and that she understands if he doesn't want to keep dating her it's no big deal. He's baffled, so we explain what trans is, and after the disclosure that she hasn't had bottom surgery yet... "Oh you have a dick?" "... yeah." He look's around at the room full of people with baited breath, his clearly a little afraid girl friend says "Oooohhhh! I get it! You think- don't worry Babe! Watch this!"

And ya'll this man jumps up, runs into the kitchen and returns with one of the bratwurst we had for grilling and proceeds to tilt his head back, put it down his throat, hold it in his mouth for a moment, and spit it up without even a whisper of a gag and then looks around at the group absolutely beaming with pride. My mans saw his worried girlfriend and her support network and thought to him self "Oh they don't think I can please my girl but I'll show them!"

If you as a leftist can understand that

  1. the Trump administration is using the concept of violence against women to oppress transgender people and strip back civil rights
  2. AND violence against women is a real societal issue that needs to be taken seriously, especially when women's safety and autonomy is directly attacked by the same right wing politicians claiming to care about it to further their agenda

Then you can also understand that

  1. the Trump administration is using the concept of antisemitism to perpetuate oppress activists and strip back freedom of speech
  2. AND antisemitism is a real societal issue that needs to be taken seriously, especially when Jewish safety is directly attacked by the same right wing politicians claiming to care about it to further their agenda

Right? ...Right??

"What made you follow your mutual" I don't know. I don't remember anything. In my mind we were mutuals at birth. Since the dawn of time. The start of the earth's spin

I applaud the effort that went into this seconds-long bit.

(THE LAMP IS STICKING STRAIGHT OUT FROM THE WALL!)

For anyone who wants a side-by-side comparison to appreciate everything that moved, here you go:

I love photos of 1920s flappers because 100 years later this style just comes off as "ALL THESE WOMEN ARE TRANS"

Besides all the real reasons we need to fix the adult content bans, there's also the problem that artists I like the content of keep getting chased off all the platforms I'm on and now exclusively post on poob.

And I'm already on too many sites, I don't want to sign up for another one just to be able to see what that guy who does elf men in chastity is doing these days

“I tried to match a short length haori and a leather skirt with a kimono! I like the fact that the short haori gives a long leg effect, and I also like the decoration around the abdomen and the fluttering of the skirt that can be shown without hiding it …!”
