I tried to slip CBD gummies into some kids halloween candy like i saw on the news but the kids recognized them and laughed at me for not having any real weed
These are the sort of people that would lose their life savings to a guy doing three card monte on a street corner if he was wearing a zoot suit and introduced himself as “Vinnie ‘Quickfingers’ Sanchez”.
I regularly use isopropyl alcohol to clean electronics, and I’ve had trouble getting the same kind of pre-moistened wipes I usually use. So I realized I could just get some more of the same kind of I use when injecting my estrogen! they’re just pre-moistened sterile wipes with a bit of IPA on them.
unexpected side effect: now everytime I try to fix electronics, they smell like girl
this does ignore that I don’t really have a sense of smell, so what I’m “smelling” is really more “isopropyl alcohol hurting my nose/eyes a little bit” which is as close as you can get to smelling something when you’re me.
but if I phrased it like “these electronics now hurt me like girls” that’d mean very different things
So one of my players looks at me. Like. Second session I ever played with them. Just narrows his lil eyes and stares me down and ejaculates, “Why do you talk like that?”
For context: I generally speak with actual words from my mouth exactly the way I type words to make posts on tumblr. If we’ve known each other for any length of time, you may already understand a bit of why he asked me this. Evidently, I speak in a way that is easily understood, most of the time, but approaches sentence structure the way English countrysides approach roads- in a winding and roundabout fashion.
I didn’t say anything witty, but I did say, “Because words are beautiful and I love them. Why don’t you [talk like this]?”
Anyway, he had a crush on me. And I think the point of the story is to talk like you’re in the process of making deep, sensual, tantric love to the language in which you’re communicating. 😎
Having had at least one dick in my mouth that I’d really like to hurry up and get out of my mouth, I feel like this is an applicable and very visceral addition to this post. Thank you. Food for thought, for sure.
I wanna know what’s up with these fuckers specifically
for the left, the guy on the left only knows that guy, and has 0 social awareness, and thinks that his telling him “Bro, fuck off, you’re an annoying piece of shit” is a joke.
“When Big Tech makes fakery their highest priority, lies reach epidemic proportions. We are now living with the consequences. And if tech accelerationists get their way, the deceptions will get much, much worse—and very rapdily.”
Everything about this is a masterpiece: the girl that says “wow” and the girl that says “hi” shyly and bill awkwardly lifting his hand to say hi to them I’m cracking THE FUCK UP
The way they all immediately straightened up their postures like the fuckin pope walked in 😂 the sheer power this cool science man has over the american people is palpable
“A TERF is a white supremacist whose gateway to white supremacy is anti-trans bigotry, instead of anti-Semitism or anti-Blackness or anti-migration or misogyny. As with any gateway, many people engaging in this ideology may not be aware of their proximity to white supremacy. This is the standard radicalization pathway that we have seen over and over and over with, for example, anti-Islamic sentiment. Personally, [I] find it is most comparable to how anti-Semitism gateways are used. Often, we see white supremacists exploiting legitimate grievances with the financial systems by turning into an anti-Semitic issue. White supremacists take legitimately frustrated and class-oppressed people’s anger at banks, and carefully plant the seeds of anti-Semitism. They’ll point out the irrefutable fact that there exist Jewish people in executive positions in banking and vilely twist this. TERFs take a legitimate grievance: patriarchal oppression of women and homophobia and turn it into a movement based on systematic exclusion of a specific class of people. This is the redpill. [We] need to stop the good-faith engagements with their ideology and start treating it like the gateway to white supremacy that it is.”
I don’t think a lot of people understand that transphobia is, in fact, inherently racist.
it never would have occurred to me that transphobia has roots in racism or that TERFs are a gateway into white supremacy.
information like this is vital.
It’s inherently racist because it assumes all cultures follow the western concept of the absolute gender binary rooted in what genitals you have.
It’s also racist because it defines womanhood using conventionally attractive white women as the baseline.
Women who have facial hair, have thick or “excessive” body hair, have broad shoulders, have “masculine” facial features like angular jaws, have deep voices, are taller than “average”, have receding hairlines, are muscular, etc are immediately assumed to be men because they don’t fit white European ideals of womanhood. And these standards do affect white women of course, whether they’re cis or trans, but they mostly target Black and brown women.
There’s a reason why Black women, particularly athletes, are the ones who get targeted with so many accusations of being men. Why they’re expected to undergo hormone testing. Why they’re accused of having “excessive” testosterone. Why they’re expected to undergo physical examinations to “prove” that they’re “real” women.
Radical feminism, trans inclusive or not, is based around biological essentialist white supremacy whether radfems want to admit it or not.

whoever was the first person to make the observation that transphobia against transmascs is rooted in this kind of paternalistic misogyny whever everyone asks like they’re just poor confused widdle girls who don’t know how to make decisions for themselves was so SO right about that. like I’m not even transmasc but it’s infuriating to see these posts every other day being like “do you realize that these medical procedures are IRREVERSIBLE?? If you get top surgery it will PERMANENTLY take away your breasts. If you go in testosterone it will PERMANENTLY change your body??” When the obvious fucking response to that from anyone who’s even considered going through with any kind of masculinizing gender affirming care is
Like transmascs (teenagers and kids included) aren’t fucking stupid. they’re not too ignorant or impressionable to make decisions for themselves.
Hey! If you see a random post that has nothing to do with transandrophobia and is just talking about people transitioning in a transmasculine way, and your response is “why would we want more of those people in the world”, that is just transphobia (or, dare I say… anti-transmasculinity?). Believe it or not, millions of conservatives would agree with you on this one.
(Sorry to OP for blocking out your username, I didn’t want anyone to be able to find the commenter’s blog. If you do somehow find it, don’t harass them.)
helen “trans people are perpetuating gender steriotypes” joyce is now upset that the scientific american is writing about how women were hunters too back in the day, not just mothers and caretakers. feminist win!
Read it if you have the time, it’s very interesting.
Reading the article I see why TERFs are mad about it; it explicitly makes the distinction between gender as a social entity and sex as a biological category, and defines biological sex having multiple factors, both of which are anathema to TERF philosophy.
It also includes these fascinating paragraphs about the role of estrogen in different types of physical activity, directly debunking the widespread notion that estrogen is the weak human’s hormone and only does weak human things:
Given the fitness world’s persistent touting of the hormone testosterone for athletic success, you’d be forgiven for not knowing that estrogen, which females typically produce more of than males, plays an incredibly important role in athletic performance… The estrogen receptor—the protein that estrogen binds to in order to do its work—is deeply ancient. Joseph Thornton of the University of Chicago and his colleagues have estimated that it is around 1.2 billion to 600 million years old—roughly twice as old as the testosterone receptor. In addition to helping regulate the reproductive system, estrogen influences fine-motor control and memory, enhances the growth and development of neurons, and helps to prevent hardening of the arteries.
Important for the purposes of this discussion, estrogen also improves fat metabolism. During exercise, estrogen seems to encourage the body to use stored fat for energy before stored carbohydrates. Fat contains more calories per gram than carbohydrates do, so it burns more slowly, which can delay fatigue during endurance activity. Not only does estrogen encourage fat burning, but it also promotes greater fat storage within muscles… which makes that fat’s energy more readily available. Adiponectin, another hormone that is typically present in higher amounts in females than in males, further enhances fat metabolism while sparing carbohydrates for future use, and it protects muscle from breakdown. Anne Friedlander of Stanford University and her colleagues found that females use as much as 70 percent more fat for energy during exercise than males.
Estrogen’s ability to increase fat metabolism and regulate the body’s response to the hormone insulin can help prevent muscle breakdown during intense exercise. Furthermore, estrogen appears to have a stabilizing effect on cell membranes that might otherwise rupture from acute stress brought on by heat and exercise. Ruptured cells release enzymes called creatine kinases, which can damage tissues… Linda Lamont of the University of Rhode Island and her colleagues, as well as Michael Riddell of York University in Canada and his colleagues, found that females experienced less muscle breakdown than males after the same bouts of exercise. Tellingly, in a separate study, Mazen J. Hamadeh of York University and his colleagues found that males supplemented with estrogen suffered less muscle breakdown during cycling than those who didn’t receive estrogen supplements.
The article also talks about sexual dimorphism in different species, concluding that “Modern humans have low sexual dimorphism compared with the other great apes,” and that overemphasis on averages obscures the wide dispersal of individual traits, which is what I keep saying.
Anthropologists also look at damage on our ancestors’ skeletons for clues to their behavior. Neandertals are the best-studied extinct members of the human family because we have a rich fossil record of their remains. Neandertal females and males do not differ in their trauma patterns, nor do they exhibit sex differences in pathology from repetitive actions. Their skeletons show the same patterns of wear and tear. This finding suggests that they were doing the same things, from ambush-hunting large game animals to processing hides for leather. Yes, Neandertal women were spearing woolly rhinoceroses, and Neandertal men were making clothing.
I also thought this part was cool :)
PLEASE read this article, this information is incredible for everyone looking to unlearn bioessentialism

my advice to you is to never waste your time trying to fit into a club or hobby or any community who makes you beg for acceptance and approval just to participate when you could do the alternative—get involved in a niche and endangered hobby run primarily by old people.
i wanted to learn how to hunt ruffed grouse and train bird dogs so i sent an email to my local chapter of the ruffed grouse society explaining that getting into wildlife groups is intimidating to me because I’m trans
and all they saw was that someone under 60 wanted to learn to hunt grouse & several months into my mentorship I was told that like 7 old guys argued over me until they had to pick a number between 1 and 100 to decide who got to personally mentor me.
imagine vying for the acceptance of some gatekeeping weirdos when your mere interest could be inciting verbal combat among retirees
my mentor was so sweet & funny too. he suggested we meet over lunch first so he could tell me about what to expect before we got started & I emailed back “I’m ready to get started right away!”
and he said “I was actually suggesting lunch first for your comfort on the assumption you wouldn’t want to get together with a man you’ve never met, in the woods with a gun.”
Like, I trusted him because of the referrals I got from one of my professors but like, right you are sir fair enough. Lunch it is.
tfw you realize the mortal you where planning on using and discarding, is a little unhinged actually, and matches your freak so you scrap that plan and start planning to rule the universe together
Massive shoutout to the genre of Grian fanart that just makes him a whole ass bird. Not an avian or a guy with bird legs or anything, just straight up a bird with big beady eyes that are Full Of Intent. Only one load of bread tall but that won’t stop him
