[Image ID: Tweet by Pearl 3: peal (@/PearloLesbo): “Bro trust me my exclusionism is different bro no where are you going no trust be bro its good this time bro I swear this time they’re actually harmful trust me bro this is good bigotry bro I swear bro this time it’s different and justified bro” /End ID.]
I watched trans discourse to nb discourse to bi discourse to ace discourse to aro discourse to any person without a full label discourse to any kinky lgbtqia+ discourse to queer discourse to intersex discourse to pan discourse
I am not lying when I tell you it is. Literally. All. The. Same.
“Secret disgusting straight group is trying to overtake us and lying about being a part of (label I conveniently dislike)! Every other group we shit on before is actually okay but this group is REALLY SERIOUSLY SECRET STRAIGHTS TRYING TO DESTROY US!!”
There it is. the discourse for the next decade. Packaged with a bow just for you. When you see it tell them it’s literally just EVERY DISCOURSE I SAID UP THERE repackaged. Because it is. <3
Subchapters:
- They’re ‘appropriating’ our language. Not because ‘coming out’ is something that accurately described their experience but because they’re evil secret straights who want our stuff.
- They want our ‘resources’, because acceptance and support are not available in unlimited supplies and going to support groups that you don’t need is something evil secret straights do.
- They have ‘privilege’. Unlike us, who are not all a combination of axis of oppression and privilege because of the many aspects of our identity. We’re 100% oppressed all the time in every way.
- They don’t ‘suffer’ like we do. Because it’s totally okay to demand that people publicly expose their traumas in order to be accepted by us. That’s not ‘bullying others the way we have been bullied’ at all.
There also seems to be weird, recent layer of it along the lines of “if your parents accepted you and you actually got support you needed and aren’t traumatized, then you’re privileged and may as well be straight” And . . . no? Institutional privilege doesn’t work that way? Also, if we don’t want things to be better for everyone, so that other people suffer less than we did, what the fuck are we even doing?

Anonymous asked:
What do you think of trans women? Personally as a trans woman I think there are no words in the english language to describe how amazing we are
I think you're great and trans women are always the best at choosing names??? I met a trans woman once whose name was Aphrodite. Straight up. Killer name if you ask me
More details about Aphrodite: I met her and her girlfriend in line for an LGBT club the Christmas before the pandemic. She was so stunning. She was tall, her bone structure was like that of a Greek statue, and she had this gorgeous long curly hair that just looked so healthy and shiny. I've never seen healthier looking hair in my life. Her makeup was subtle but unmistakably glittery. She approached me to tell me that my eyeshadow was gorgeous and asked me where I got it. Inside the club she then told me I was the most beautiful woman on earth and vanished into the night.
I don’t think you just met a trans woman I think you met the actual fucking Aphrodite
And I will never forget her.
This means Aphrodite is a trans woman
She's Latina too since I'm Brazilian and this happened near my hometown!
Aphrodite also spoke just.. so calmly. Like she knew without a shadow of a doubt that eventually everything was gonna be ok. She gave me a feeling of peace.
When she told me I was beautiful she didn't just go "OMG YOU'RE SO PRETTY". Instead, she approched me at the bar inside the club, looked at me for a few seconds, smiled fondly, twirled a piece of my hair not flirtatiously, but like a grandmother who hasn't seen their grandchild in ages, and said to me in Portuguese "você é linda de parar o coração" (aka, "you're beautiful enough to stop a heartbeat"), gave me another smile, and then disappeared- never to be seen again.

I think all my problems would be solved with hot chocolate croissants and sleeping on someone's lap while they read to me.

Women be treating themselves to Special Coffee Drinks to motivate themselves to accomplish tedious errands
Sadly special coffee drinks don’t motivate me so my husband and I came up with Shrimp Points. We organized our Tasks and daily chores and stuff that’s been hanging over our heads and assigned various amounts of Shrimp Points to each item, and once we get to 1000 points we get to get neocardinia aquarium shrimp as pets.

I was really ready for the Shrimp Points to end with a seafood dinner and “neocardinia aquarium shrimp as pets” punched me right in the face. It’s even better than a shrimp dinner but I was sucker-punched by it nonetheless.

Marie Kondo really isnt fucking around
If anyone is curious what she says directly after this quote:
When one or the other of these thought patterns makes it hard to throw things away, we can’t see what we really need now, at this moment. We aren’t sure what would satisfy us or what we are looking for. As a result, we increase the number of unnecessary possessions, burying ourselves both physically and mentally in superfluous things.
The best way to find out what we really need is to get rid of what we don’t. Quests to faraway places or shopping sprees are no longer necessary. All you have to do is eliminate what you don’t need by confronting each of your possessions properly. The process of facing and selecting our possessions can be quite painful. It forces us to confront our imperfections and inadequacies and the foolish choices we made in the past.
Many times when confronting my past during the tidying process I have been so ashamed. My collection of scented erasers from primary school, the animation-related goods that I collected in junior high school, clothes I bought in high school when I was trying to act grown up but which didn’t suit me at all, handbags I bought even though I didn’t need them just because I liked the look of them in the shop.
The things we own are real. They exist here and now as a result of choices made in the past by no one other than ourselves. It is wrong to ignore them or to discard them indiscriminately as if denying the choices we made. This is why I am against both letting things pile up and dumping things without proper consideration. It is only when we face the things we own one by one and experience the emotions they evoke that we can truly appreciate our relationship with them.
There are three approaches we can take towards our possessions. Face them now, face them sometime, or avoid them until the day we die. The choice is ours. But I personally believe it is far better to face them now. If we acknowledge our attachment to the past and our fears for the future by honestly looking at our possessions, we will be able to see what is really important to us.
This process in turn helps us to identify our values and reduces doubt and confusion when making life decisions. If we can have confidence in our decisions and launch enthusiastically into action without any doubts holding us back, we will be able to achieve much more. In other words, the sooner we confront our possessions the better. If you are going to put your house in order, do it now.

Lean into the funny idiot archetype so that when you’re unexpectedly hypercompetent at something they give you The Look where you can see them reexamine their entire perception of you in confusion, respect and no small amount of fear, and when you keep playing funny idiot they will be forever wary of you. Let them find out, incidentally, that the jester keeps a knife under his hat, and never figure out how to deal with that because they won’t abandon their boxes.

“I had a room to myself as a kid, but my mother was always quick to point out that it wasn’t my room, it was her room and I was merely permitted to occupy it. Her point, of course, was that my parents had earned everything and I was merely borrowing the space, and while this is technically true I cannot help but marvel at the singular damage of this dark idea: That my existence as a child was a kind of debt and nothing, no matter how small, was mine. That no space was truly private; anything of mine could be forfeited at someone else’s whim.” ― Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House
