my biggest pet peeve wiht the english language is that you don’t have sin/sina

in swedish if u have two people who use the same pronoun u can always tell whos doing what bc its like ‘han tog sin väska’ (he took his[own] bag) and ‘han tog hans väska’ would be that he took the other persons bag

but in english its like if u have 2 ppl w/ the same pronoun:

“she took her bag” whose bag????WHose BAG was it her OWN bag or the other her’s bag??????????????

“he ate his donuts” were the donuts his own???? did he fucking eat someone elses donuts??? YIU DONT KNOW bc english is a bullshit language 

its funny that people are calling this the gay fanfiction dilemma bc thats literally why i made this post. i was writing a gay fanfic.

the world would literally be a better place if cis people could just get trans surgeries "by mistake" rather than forcing trans people to jump through ten million hoops to get it.

Like show me one cis man who wants to get vaginoplasty. I’ll wait. Also, he should be able to get it anyway, so shut up.

Really though, this entire argument neglects the elephant in the room in all this, which is that it’s never been about protecting these hypothetical effeminate cis men. It’s never been about protecting butch lesbians. It’s just about punishing queerness.

It's the same as how disabled people have to jump through ten million hoops for government aid because "but what if someone scams the system". They just hate disabled people. It's always about hate and power, all the "but what if" arguments are just concern trolling.

It’s true and you should fucking say it

Genuinely if a cis perisex dude wants to go get a vaginoplasty, with all the healing and dilating and stuff, why shouldn't he? It's his body.

I can get fake tits the size of my head with 7 grand and no psychologist, and thats great! Everyone should be allowed to get a pair of whoppers if they want them! I shouldn't need to have had breast cancer, or a breast deformity, or some other medical condition that needs reconstructing to get breast implants, because it's my body. I should be able to get them removed completely if I want as well.

What's the difference though? "Ohhhh he might be doing it for fetish reasons..." So? Lots of cis women get breast implants because having huge tits is hot and it makes them feel sexy. They want to have huge tits while they fuck bc it turns them on and they're more comfortable with their body that way. That's totally fine! Literally who cares!

Yeah a vaginoplasty is a lot more complex but at the end of the day it's a surgical body modification and genuinely, it's no one else's fucking business what someone has in their pants.

Let the cis guy get a pussy! Let everyone get the body they want to have, we have the technology.

tumblr are you telling me something

Very well. I shall find them, and save this kingdom.

Ganalf...

Ok so today I was on the bus with another trans guy and we were talking about how hard it is to get testosterone. The waiting lists, the price, all the doctors you have to go to, that kind of stuff. Except, we were calling it ’T’, like you do when you’re both closeted and in public.

Then suddenly the elderly lady sitting behind us was like ‘young men, either I’m going crazy or you both have never heard of supermarkets, they have shelves full of tea there! Do you need directions to one?’

To which my buddy starts to explain, because why not. ‘Well you see, we’re both trans, and… ’

The lady didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. ‘Oh no, I don’t mind that at all! Now do you want to know how to get to a place that sells tea? I’m actually heading there right now!’

We let her take us to the supermarket. We let her show us, excitedly, where the tea was. We both bought loads.

This is beautiful

When those in power constantly lied about the little things, it isn't hard to see why people have tuned out--and even questioned whether masks were even effective against the virus.

Exorcism Sorbet! The gems are gummies.

nothing makes me go "ooooh we are NOT the same" quite like reading some post about how people talk with their parents about their interests. what do you mean you told your father about stevebucky. what do you mean he asked further questions

"i sent this article to my relative" "mom & i were discussing dialectical materialism" you navigate the world with such a different set of parameters than i

I will NEVER forget the time I was dating a girl and went on a camping trip with her and her family, and we were hanging out drawing together, and she said "hey mom check this out" and showed her mother a suggestive Team Fortress 2 fanart she was working on and my eyes nearly shot out of my skull

keep me updated this is kind of like gambling for me

yet another slam dunk for the evil wizard

don’t ask me “wyd” u know i’m at home deteriorating

critically acclaimed but the critics are me and my mutuals

we aren’t doing enough arts and crafts in this world I’m telling you

The person next to me in the train station is eating dicks and it smells so damn good

Wait wait fuck goddamn, dicks is a burger brand, there is not a woman giving head right next to me, she is eating fries and I’m hungry for FRIES

It's very funny to me that the stereotypical gelatinous cube is bright fucking green when the monster itself is almost perfectly transparent. Like its gimmick is that it's a monster that imitates an empty 10x10 hallway. How many people have fallen victim to gelatinous cubes because they "know" that the ooze is bright green and so don't bother to check the suspiciously clean corridor in front of them.

The cube is green because oh my god do you know how hard it is to draw a perfectly transparent cube? Especially in isolation, like in the monster manual? Even if you put debris in, it reads as "floating skull ft. helium sword." Awful. Absolutely wretched.

I'm picturing it appearing in in-universe bestiaries with a little caption like *specimen dyed for visibility.

Dungeon naturalists sneaking up on a cube with a bucket of green dye so they can see it well enough to study it.

Classifying your Slimes and Oozes by Gram staining them

Very noble of all the guys named Gram to donate their bodies to slime science.

Yeah you say this, except there's a good chance you were chronically dehydrated as a kid. The reason you didn't think you were is because a) no one was talking about dehydration at the time, and b) the effects weren't immediately obvious.

But when my grown-up massage clients get on my table and I have to keep reapplying lotion because their skin absorbs the first layer immediately? When they have a million "knots" because their soft tissue fibers got dried out, lost their elasticity and became sticky, basically glued themselves together, and now it hurts when you move your arm like this, or your neck is always achey?

Yeah, that's chronic dehydration. That's shit that builds up over years of not drinking enough water (and/or not stretching, and/or having shitty posture, and/or not healthily processing your difficult emotions, and/or...)

Health is mostly maintenance. You have to act in "healing" ways consistently if you don't want to spend your life in a cycle of pain -> fix -> same pain again. And the younger you start, the better your results will be.

So yeah, treat the youth and yourself like beached orcas and drink that water.

So yeah, treat the youth

and yourself like beached orcas

and drink that water.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

also, for what it's worth, I remember spending a lot of my time as a child crowding around drinking fountains. which they had, everywhere, when I was a kid. I can't recall the last time I walked past a water fountain that wasn't shut off.

we (social we) used to make a priority of making water publicly accessible everywhere. now, we don't; whether because of health concerns, because it's just assumed people carry their own, or because it's harder to sell people bottled water if they can walk ten steps and get it for free.

After i came out as trans i had a few friends say they'd always suspected.

I know they were trying to be supportive, but part of me wanted to shake them and demand to know why they never said anything.

I figured out what i am in high school and promptly buried it as well as i could.

I suffered alone with this for over a decade, convinced i could never tell anyone the truth for as long as i lived. I did awful things to my psyche to maintain the lie.

And you knew? You saw my suffering and said nothing?

Fuck the trans prime directive bullshit. Who does it help when you treat my existence as something unspeakable?

Why do we have to suffer through this alone?

"I always suspected 🙂 (give me ally points, tranny)"

I was in hell. Everyone in my life knew i was miserable, had always been miserable.

You saw my pain, saw the solution, and you said nothing? Why?

"We need to let the trannies figure it out for themselves. Prime directive, teehee"

Yes because society is sooo open and supportive of transness. Because we don't treat it as a disease, a moral corruption, a fate worse than death. Because eggs have so many positive examples of trans people to relate to.

I didn't have positive, socially acceptable examples of people like me. I had sex workers like Bailey Jay, and the constant societal message that people like her were tragic freaks. That anyone who felt anything but revulsion or pity towards them was a pervert and probably a sexual predator.

I had wall to wall societal bullshit telling me i was a mistake, and then loved ones who knew how to help me and staged silent. It took

Why is that process considered so ideal? Why do we deserve that?
