something important to remember is that there's always time. if you lost many years to abuse or mental illness, you will get a chance to live life on your terms. there is no limit on the age you have to be to achieve goals. you can go back to school at 30, or switch careers at 40. you can start new hobbies at any age. there is no cut off age for being happy and content. if you're trapped right now, you will get the opportunity to become who you want to be.

This cat appears to be curious rather than stressed. The cat is probably in the pot for the same reason cats like being in boxes.
You’re laughing. That cat is being shot by finger guns and you’re laughing.
This site has been going around Twitter trans accounts quite a bit lately, so just pointing out here too that it'll do fuck all, they're exploiting trans people at a time when hrt is particularly hard to access and please don't give them your money
fuckin exploitative bullshit marketed in the worst way imaginable
literally selling laxatives as weight loss supplements
No actually, this needs to be in the body of the post.
This isn't someone looking to make a quick buck off the backs of desperate trans women.
This is someone who is gathering a hit list. This person may use your info for active swatting, but not just that, this product will kill you.
This product is outright dangerous. This dose of ashwagandha is ASTRONOMICAL. It's anxiolytic - meaning that it causes agitation and anxiety - and if you take this dose every day you'll be developing serotonin syndrome within 4-6 weeks, and an ER trip/death within 8. And if you're on medications that interact (SSRIs, antipsychotics, most kinds of opiates) or alcohol, this risk is magnified.
This person wants to KILL YOU.
Also the photo they're using for the founder is AI generated. The easiest tell is the neck tattoo seemingly merging with the collar of the shirt, and none of the locs actually having an end that connects them to the scalp.
There's a terf in the comments screeding about how this totally isn't a rightwing psyop and it's asian fetishizing trans ppl obsessed with anime doing this, so here's some irrefutable proof that it is, in fact, a right-wing dox honeypot!
If you go to any post by TheQueerQuirk on Twitter and replace the username part of the url with transaretr8ors it will redirect you to the same tweet with the new username, indicating that TheQueerQuirk's old username WAS in fact transaretr8ors. You can test this yourself.
They're also stealing images from r/transtimelines for fake reviews.
Their domain name was registered on June 2 and the address marked is a common scam address (seemingly of the Icelandic Phallological Museum).
THIS IS A HONEYPOT. THEY'RE COLLECTING ADDRESSES. YOU COULD BE SWATTED, HAVE YOUR IDENTITY STOLEN, OR AT THE VERY BEST RECEIVE A PRODUCT THAT WILL CAUSE SEROTONIN SYNDROME.
SPREAD.

tumblr users: hey we don't want twitter users migrating here :/
tumblr: don't worry i got you *fuckign crashes*
it took 25 seconds for this to load so i could reblog. the website is having a volatile reaction to the sudden influx of new users. we are witnessing a hostile defense mechanism.
some of you need to go outside and I dont mean that in a mean or condescending way I mean it in a "you would benefit from talking to real people face to face, and developing social skills" type way
genuinely tho. more and more frequently i interact with people online who shock me with how young they act for how old they are, because i associate that level of social and interpersonal inability with fucking. fourteen year olds. there is a noticeable deterioration of social skills and it's annoying as someone who actually knows how to talk to people, because i find myself having to almost parent people basically my age into learning how to properly communicate. no, just saying insults and then adding /lh does not mean you're friends with someone. you can't just call someone a bitch or a whore or any type of slur and get surprised when they aren't okay with that, because if you actually took a step outside you'd realize those are words that have a whole lot of weight behind them and online get thrown around by social infants with no clue how to properly talk to people.
people are always coming to tell me that i'm very nice or very welcoming, and i don't know how to explain this to you, but it's because i have actual social skills. i know how to be polite. i know how to listen to people. i know how to actually form healthy relationships with people who aren't just words on a screen. and it's come to my realization that not everyone does, which makes it extra exhausting to keep up conversations with literal adults who don't even understand the basics of interpersonal communication.
this puts it into words well ty

alice i have bad news :(
hey whats up
"sex scenes have no narrative purpose" is such a funny take on so many levels. people will really believe that the whole human experience is valuable to portray artistically except sex, which of course has never held emotional weight or significance for anybody
"what's the purpose of sex scenes in media??" well you see sometimes people have sex. sometimes it can be important even
yeah ok but i dont wanna watch straight sex scene number 1231234837582 in the middle of some movie thats clearly not fucking high art or anything, like please, tell me how the sex scene made jason X a deeper movie ill wait
You know I'm getting really tired of the overwhelmingly popular notion that sex offenders "have it too easy".
The Sex Offender Registry is public, anyone on it has every aspect of their personal information online, allowing vigilantes to track you down and kill you and when they do, the cops aren't going to investigate your murder. Furthermore, being put on the SOR commonly disqualifies you from any form of rent, home ownership, or employment and thus most sex offenders become homeless.
If a Sex Offender does go to prison, chances are they will be killed purely for being a sex offender as every inmate will assume they are a child molester. I remember reading a story of a 20 year old man who was mutilated beyond recognition in prison after being put on the SOR for having sex with his 17 yo girlfriend.
Contrary to popular belief, you can be put onto the Sex Offender Registry for a vast variety of reasons, not just raping a child so assuming that all Sex Offenders are child rapists is illogical. Any form of indecent exposure can land you on the SOR. Back in the 2010s, there was a Texas teen who streaked at a football game and was put on the SOR as a result. He committed suicide because the courts would not take his name off the registry and yes, btw, getting taken off the Registry is virtually impossible to do even if you have mountains of evidence proving your innocence.
Furthermore, the SOR never actually reveals what crime each person on it committed but the major news networks have firmly convinced the U.S Population that every sex offender is a child rapist.
In Colorado, registered sex offenders are not allowed to own photographs of family members who are minors, nor are they allowed to even speak to minors. In Wisconsin, a registered sex offender was barred from entering a hospital where his 9-year-old son was undergoing surgery on the basis that he might rape his son.
People seem to think that the legal system is too leniant on sex offenders simply because sex offenders aren't suffering the punishments people want them to suffer. Just because a sex offender isn't being executed by firing squadron, burned at the stake, pulled apart by horses, sent to the gallows or thrown in a pit with 1000 hungry rats doesn't mean they aren't being punished.
It really bothers me that so many leftists, especially Anarchists buy into this bullshit and vigilante justice.
“You’re Wrong About” did an episode on this in 2019, which reiterates this post, goes more in depth on some issues and gives more specific examples. Another good example is a man who was semi coherced into just admitting guilt to his case for owning child pornography. What had actually happened is this man downloaded a lot of porn from online, one of which featured a woman who was 17/16, which he didn’t know. Police convinced him the whole thing would be easier if he pleaded guilty and was registered, and it ruined his life. Landlords won’t rent to him, he can’t keep a job, and he can’t use a computer unless for things related to work, making living impossible.
As conservative fascism gets more intense we really do need to criticize and scrutinize our attitudes towards the SOR. What if skimpier clothing gets you hit with indecent exposure? Non-Hetero presenting PDA? And if stricter conservative laws put in place concerning public dress codes? As of 2022, 14 states still have not repealed their anti sodomy laws, even though the Supreme Court case Lawrence v Texas invalidates them. What if that ruling was repealed? Now, legally, any sex outside of procreation could mark you as a sex offender. And it’s no secret these laws are left ambiguous intentionally because they are used almost exclusively against queer sex. Meanwhile, you couldn’t criticize the SOR without being labeled as a child abuser advocate.
We have to pick about every peice of our social justice system, including sex offender laws.
Pleasantly surprised this didn’t have some kind of “gotcha!” at the end and brought up not only all the legitimate good points but also examples of exactly why this system does not work. Not only is it wrongfully punishing people who really don’t deserve it (seriously? Put on the sex offender list for streaking?), but we all know how easy it is for actual rapists to get away with even just a little bit of influence or money to wave around.
But people who panic and assume we just need harsher laws are the same people who pull out the Shirley Exception—“well surely if it was one of the above crimes, the person wouldn’t be put on the sex offender list!”
They were, tho.
Sex workers are also routinely registered or have the threat of registration used against them, especially gay men
I mentioned this recently already, but homeless people are also often registered as sex offenders for things like urinating in public (because they aren't allowed to use businesses' restrooms), having sex in tents, and even getting undressed in their cars.
