imagine how it is to touch the stove.

I just died in a dream for the first time and felt a strong non pain sensation, even though i normally feel realistic pain in dreams, so i was wondering how common it is.

There wasn’t enough room for a “does it distress you” axis of choices, so feel free to discuss in the tags/replies!

obviously transmisogyny manifests itself in, like, specific ways like the assumption we're a bunch of sexual predators, but to some extent there's a clear trend among people even in the queer community to just... still be uncomfortable witb Trans Women, as an identity?

Consider the recent backlash against the idea that Twitch user LillyAnarKitty might be transfem; people were call it "disgusting" and "disrespectful" and like... please stop and think about that reaction. You see it in "egg discourse" where people are CLEARLY uncomfortable with the label trans woman being even offered to anyone who isn't already openly using it. Or the persistant idea that being a gnc man is somehow more "radical" and "challenging" than the trans woman, even thoigh there's an entire subset of conservatives who fetoshize the former and want to kill the latter. Or even something as small and minor as the propensity to discuss transmisogynistic caricatures in media as just generally genderqueer.

IDK, just... recognize that "trans woman" is something you yourself might have discomfort with, and just practice getting comfortable with someone assigned male and gone through t being a proud she/her woman, no caveats.

there's this trick that racists/queerphobes/etc do, it's really slick. let's just do a little dialogue as an example, the names have been obscured but I've seen this exact exchange happen before.

Stephanie mc. Influencer: "And furthermore, body positivity intersects with black liberation, as black women are often held to unattainable eurocentric beauty standards"

Suave Replyboy Jr: "Lmao, you leftists always tell on yourselves, did you really just say black people are ugly??"

You see the trick here? it's kind of complicated, like, Stephanie is arguing from the perspective that beauty standards are arbitrary and subject to change, Suave understands beauty as an objective hierarchy, so he dunks on Stephanie safely from the inside of that standard. To him, and likely to many people who haven't thought about their own assumptions very much, the only reason black people would want their own body positivity movement is because they're ugly. Bonus points if Stephanie is white, and you can rile her community against her with claims of racism.

I've been getting some replies like this on my posts about sexual trauma, kink, and queerness. Like... I say that sexual deviance of all forms can intersect and correlate with queer identity, and dozens of Suave Replyboy Jrs come out and dunk on me from the other side of the glass, from inside the false universe I'm trying to discredit, the one where "sexual deviance" is immoral and associating queer sexuality with deviancy is an insult. I'm not saying queer people are dangerous perverts, that's you.

her robotic, glacial voice; the blood; the gasps from the crowd; the way her mic hits the ground on beat with the song; its performance at its peak

iconic

she gave unhinged women our rights

i watch this video exactly once a month and it gives me full body asmr

This was fighting for gay rights

We will forever stan

never forget her commentary on this performance:

“The methodology behind what I’ve done is that, when they wanted me to be sexy, or they wanted me to be pop, I always fuckin’ put some absurd spin on it that made me feel like I was still in control. So you know what? If I’m gonna be sexy on the VMAs, and sing about the paparazzi, I’m going to do it while I’m bleeding to death and reminding you of what fame did to Marilyn Monroe, the original Norma Jean, and what it did to Anna Nicole Smith, and what it did to…  Yeah. You know who.”
