anyway this is your periodic reminder that self-medicating hrt is epic and you should do it

https://hrt.cafe/

But can't that be REALLY dangerous??????

no

all the weirdos in the notes on this post  look extremely stupid trying to school a trans woman on the topic of hrt and  self-medicating with hormones considering the fact that once someone takes hormones   home  with them from a conventional pharmacy, they are the ones administering  it to themself anyway... hormones are hormones regardless of whether we get them at at pharmacy with a prescription from an endocrinologist or ordered it online. in the united states and other countries where hospital and health insurance systems make the acquisition of proper trans healthcare almost impossible, it is more dangerous not to tell people that medications like estradiol are available online without a prescription.

also estrogen  is not a controlled substance like testosterone is, stop reporting the op for posting a resource that will, no doubt, end up saving the lives and mental health of transfeminine people.

For gods sake people, please don’t randomly take medication without seeing a doctor first! I was on birth control and the increase in estrogen just from that almost fucking killed me via blood clots in the lungs. If I had gotten to the hospital just an hour or two later I would be dead.

Do whatever you want with your body to make you happy to live in it, but please make sure you check with a doctor first. You may have risk factors you never considered and can’t be determined without blood tests and professional opinions.

Self medicating is 200% bad. There is a reason you need to see an endocrinologist before you start HRT. Self administering a shot prescribed by a doctor is not the same thing as ordering something off the web and taking the dose you think is right.

can yall please listen to trans women for once in your fucking lives

It’s a joke and has absolutely nothing to do with trans people in this context. Femboys are cross dressers.

Femboy ain’t a slur oh my god.

are either of you trans women

That’s a bit personal, don’t you think? 🤔

But hey if you want to use the “you have to be trans/a trans women to know what words mean” argument, please feel free to look at all the trans people in the reblogs and replies reiterating my exact point. Do some research.

in a conversation like this, no, not really. I’ll take that as a no thought

actually, the majority of the reblogs are in agreement with this post. it only looks like there’s more people who disagree because they’re the only ones commenting

I didn’t say most reblogging alone agree or disagree. I was trying to tell you to acknowledge that there are also trans people who know what words mean in the replies, since what I say of course means nothing.

i do acknowledge that. and that’s fine if they’d not bothered by it, but that doesn’t invalidate all the people who are. and since i’m actually interested in respecting and listening to trans women, i’m gonna be on the safe side and not use or support words that makes the majority of them very uncomfortable

man, you’re really bitter huh. i hope you learn how to care about other people someday

This joke/meme literally has nothing to do with trans women. No, I don’t care about the feelings of someone who goes out of their way to be offended by something that was never about them in the first place. The world is not going to conform to every little thing that you decide to take personally.

There are people who get offended and are uncomfortable by the word “female” at this point dude. Nobody cares. The world is not a safe space. Femboy is a term for a cross dressing/feminine man. No one is bitter, I am simply realistic.

so what, you think that the trans women who say it is about them are just, lying for some reason?

oh damn, so you really don’t give a shit at all about any trans people huh. it all makes sense now though

yeah the world isn’t a safe space, but that’s not an excuse to be intentionally hurtful towards people. you can choose to make it a safer space, you know. you can choose to make the world a better place. but that would require caring about your fellow human, and we’ve already established that you don’t

bitching about safe spaces makes you look pretty damn bitter lol

None of this back and forth makes any sense. It is entirely pointless. Transwomen who are are offended about this may not being lying but they are completely misguided on what words mean. At this point, anyone seeing what a femboy really is who is still offended by it and making it about trans people, yes, they want to be offended. Because

Femboy is not about you.

Oh and the whole “You don’t care about trans people. You’re a big meanie. You’re bitter. You don’t care about people.” thing… stop. lol I’m a secure adult, guilt tripping me with “think about the feelings” doesn’t work on me.

Trans woman english major stepping in here...

FEMBOY IS NOT ABOUT TRANS WOMEN.

Femboy is a portmanteau of “feminine” and “boy.” It is quite literally a term meant to describe feminine presenting cisgendered men.

The only way femboy could possibly be about trans women is if you do not see trans women as women.

It is genuinely transphobic to say the term femboy is discussing trans women.

If you hear “femboy” and you think “trans woman” then you have your own shit to work out on your feelings about trans women.

On a word structure level, this is not about trans women.

On a cultural level, this is not about trans women.

Stop this shit. It’s making trans people look insane. 

No no no no nO NO NO NO NO??? LET’S NOT DO THAT?????

Demedicalizing gender dysphoria makes it so surgeries and HRT can’t get covered by medical insurance. It means that transphobes can keep saying shit like “just stop being trans” to trans people who, by the way, literally can’t help it because it’s a mental illness. And no, I’m not saying it as in “there’s a problem with trans people and I hate them” for all of you people who will try to twist my fucking words. I’m saying as in there’s a literal thing called brain sex and trans people are born with a brain that’s the opposite sex of their body.

This shit isn’t good and tucutes are effectively ruining the future for trans people. To any and all trans men and women who may read this post: I’m so sorry you have to deal with and worry about shit like this, I hope everything turns out okay for you.

I have been saying this for a decade now. Demedicalizing gender dysphoria sets back the trans community as a whole.

From “Laid Back Camp,” the series that might as well start its own “warm and comfy” anime genre, comes an equally cozy-looking Nendoroid of Aoi Inuyama! She comes with three expressions, an optional scarf, smartphone, egg, a hat that fails to hide her eyebrows, and more.

Congratulations, Gillette. You played yourselves.

Next in corporate PR mishaps: A tampax ad letting women know in the most condescending way possible that they’re whiny, hormonal babies and they need to stop being so damn feminine

The people complaining about the commercial are exactly the kind of toxic men the ad was talking about.

Lol I’ve seen the above catchphrase as a “gotcha” by spineless men and brainless women alike for the entirety of this video’s existence.

“If you disagree with this hateful message, then YOU are the problem”

That sounds internally flawed but we’ll get back to that later.

And let’s be clear, it IS hateful, just a “pop counter-culture” sanctioned, safe hatred popularised by mis-led marketing and political campaigns trying to get your vote or money. Why is it hateful? Because without basis, it pins the sins of society on a single demographic. Said sins are exaggerated in their magnitude and severity as well but that’s another can of worms.

It says to an entire demographic “stop being so goddamned awful, change because we say it’s necessary, look at what you’ve done” It’s deceitful, insincere, dishonest and most of all, it’s a ploy. Gillette couldn’t give a rat’s ass about social justice or its results, they made this ad to get a buck out of you. Furthermore, they don’t give a shit if it’s true. It just needs to sell. However, it’s backfired spectacularly from what I hear.

So what’s toxic about being upset with the dishonest, contemptuous, slander of, apparently, the entire of the male gender? Nothing. It’s “toxic” to let this kind of bullshit pass by, even if it does agree with your prejudices. Nothing good will come from this

Thank you

A lot of people who like the ad are framing it as ”How can you dislike this? It’s anti-rape, etc”. Which is… that’s not why people dislike it.

People hate it because it starts off shitting on men. If you want to make a positive commercial, about social change or whatever tf, you dont need to shit on people first. It starts at the negative and builds as opposed to 99% of other commercials that start at neutral or positive and build.

Its like a parent that verbal abuses you for ten minutes and after they smile and say, ”But i love you. You could do so great!”

I also think its ironic that whenever ‘men’ are upset by something there are always people saying that their egos are fragile, how weak and pathetic they are, or that they are acting irrationally. Why is it that when ‘men’ complain about something being harmful to them its acceptable to just laugh and hurl insults at them? These people probably think they are so great and right, but how is this any different than socking a man in the jaw and then calling him a pussy when he says that it hurt? (basically ‘man up’)

Tbh I’m not getting the hate. I watched it and saw it as saying that most men are fine as they are, but should call out the ones that are assholes and giving men as a whole a bad name :/ they literally said they don’t believe men are all bad

It showed a “good man” should actively try to be counter to what the ad portrays as mainstream masculinity. Remember that scene where the dad drags his son through the crowd of men going in one direction? Which implies, at best, most men need to change.

A lot of people - men and women - don’t like the implication men generally condone sexual harassment or assault. Or the idea that chatting up a hot women on the street is wrong. Even a lot of the feminists defending the commercial have said “most women don’t like being talked to in that situation”. Of course, unwanted flirting is not harassment, or sexist.

Cyberbullying is not a gendered behavior. At least one woman cyberbullied a girl to death. 

And did you notice how rarely adult men were the victims of ‘toxic masculinity’? It was mostly if not exclusively women and boys. Men are either perpetrators, good men, or tacitly complicit even if they don’t do the bad things themselves. 

The idea of collective responsibility for your sex is sexist.

Women, of course, cannot be expected to stand up for themselves, they need men to protect them, a message many of the defenders people would rightly find misogynist if it wasn’t being used to demonize men.

A lot of feminists say they’re not prejudiced, but that’s because they think their prejudices are facts. If a white person said “I’m not saying all black people are bad. There’s a handful of good ones” I think most people would say the white person is racist.

Does that help?

teygender: a gender that pricks, pokes, and stabs at you and/or other genders

stimgender: a gender felt primarily when stimming

Okay so what we aren’t going to do is this

Every God Damn Time With You People

Article: Man Sexually Assaults Woman

Radfems: SHE 👏 WAS 👏 RAPED 👏

Article: [Female] Teacher Has Affair With 15 Y/O [Boy] Student

Radfems:

The greatest part is rape IS sexual assault, but radfems aren’t exactly smart…

And when they aren’t quiet, they will either say that boy must have enjoyed it because he’s male and all males are disgusting sex perverts uwu or somehow make the discussion about how boys and men that are abused need to come second or that they don’t suffer as much in the big picture because “inchixucional oprechion” and all that bullshit.

That whole your abuse comes second business is why I left feminism and never look back.

What pisses me off the most is when they try to rationalize and explain it to you like it’s helping you.

“But we’re really helping you by focusing on issues that pertain near exclusively to women so by fixing our issues we’ll fix yours tangentially~”

“It’s not like it matters all that much anyways, you’re probably not that affected by it, not as affected as we are by rape~” That last one is also said by the type of feminist who talks about the fragility of men at every turn while playing up women’s suffering over and above men’s because…reasons~

“Why are you angry with us? It’s men who joke about wishing they had a teacher like that, I just said that a women like that has her reasons and he probably wasn’t bothered by it~”

And on and on.

Is like they’re literally trying to sell us the trickle-down economics version of equality but 10 times worse.

“But men as a class-“ stop there, shut it, i don’t care, it doesn’t matter.

The underage boys being abused won’t have their trauma taken away by you pulling this whole um-sympathetic, so shut the fuck up before i break your kneecaps.

I would love to see these hags say that a actual minor victim or make this be said to a victim on institutional level, bet it would make them feel great.

This is gonna be super controversial on my blog I’m sure but like…

Ya’ll call everyone a damn terf now. I’VE been called a terf. You think trans people still need to keep up with their biological sex when it comes to health care because its important for their safety? Terf. You think people have the right to say no to a trans person’s romantic advances? Terf. You think trans people need dysphoria? Terf. You think trans people aren’t always perfect? Terf. You recognize some people detransition? Terf. You think 3 year olds shouldn’t transition? Terf. You think you can discount anything anyone says by saying “well they are a terf so” and it suddenly devalues everything but that’s not right in my opinion.

“terfs go choke and die” “I punch terfs” “slit terf throats” *shirts about terfs covered in fake blood* and all this shit just… isnt okay? I’m not for advocating violence on any side.

Terfs aren’t my cup of tea, anyone who knows me knows this, but for gods sake it’s like the new “everyone who disagrees with me is a nazi”. I had to say SOMETHING.

Imagine being this dense and dumb. I just can’t relate.

Imagine not realizing that gender theory is just an ersatz form of male dominance and that only total compliance is enough to not get labeled “terf”

Imagine being surprised at receiving negative feedback for defending female sexual autonomy and the existence of biological sex when both those things are antithetical to male dominance and is thus extremely angering to the genderists who are quixotically trying to further entrench it

Imagine not being able to see that pattern at all because you like the way that fence feels under your ass

Maybe I’m just too tired after work but none of these words make any sense to me other than “I’m mad that you said some things that I actually agree with so I’m gonna throw a temper tantrum”. lol

tumblr employee: hey is this draft for the new guidelines okay?

another tumblr employee, head of the Woke department: hmm….you need to change tits to Female Presenting Nipples 

Wait… Did they actually say that?

You cannot accuse feminists of appropriating feminism. ESPECIALLY WHEN so much of intersectional feminism appropriated radical feminism.

This shit is childish. Can we not handle this like adults?

If they were feminists, they would not be transantagonistic.

Respectability politics is a trap and a lie. You should be asking for help to remove yourself from it, not begging us to join you.

Hopefully in time you will learn and realize your current error.

Respectability politics has quite literally freed countries from the tyranny of colonial monarchies and brought countless advancements to civil rights.

Stop praying for the war you so desperately want to fight in.

“Praying for the war you desperately want to fight in”????

Honey…. the war is happening /now/

/Want/ to fight in? I’ve /been/ fighting.

Get your tongue off their boots long enough to arm up

That would be the “lie” part

The “trap” part is the one where they are shoveling dirt into your grave while you are still patiently waiting for the lie they sold/told you to free you

Liberation. Solidarity. Not goddamn fucking bootlicking and begging for scraps.

I'll tell Gandhi that his nonviolent, respectful protesting failed and that India is still ran by the British Empire.

You're right, he should have done something more like this:

I really miss 90s era LGBT where the goal was about inclusion and acceptance. Today it's like the goal is... eating our own until the group falls apart...
