’cold showers are actually much better for you’ I don’t care if they gave me the power to manipulate time. you can pry scorching hot showers out of my dead hands. and even if I got time manipulation powers I would just use them to take more hot showers. btw

do you think that a certain genre of queer person is so obsessively weird about pride flag discourse becuase their flags fill the gaping hole in their personality where a hogwarts house used to be

How would you explain in simple terms that androphobia isn't real and that painting it and wrapping in trans colours doesn't make it any less non existent? Right now all I have is anger. Because how do you tell some tguy or transmasc that what he's experiencing isn't "hatred for men", but rather regular misogyny and transphobia? I'm so tired of this nonsense. And I'm transmasc so it makes it worse. I really feel isolated because it feels like most guys out here have wildly internalised misogyny and can't fathom that they're being oppressed because society views them as lost women lol

You aren't being hated because of your masculinity in and of itself; you are being hated because you are transgender. You violate the gender binary, and so you are attacked and oppressed. This transphobia can manifest in hatred for your masculinity, but it cannot be understood as related to "androphobia". I don't think that saying society views trans people as "lost women" or "failed men" is particularly helpful; rather, we're all violations of the artificial gender and sex binary. Don't misgender us in an attempt to define social dynamics.

Were you a cisgender white man, the qualities you have that society considers "manly" would give you structural advantages. Were I a cisgender woman, the qualities I have that society considers feminine would continue to target me for oppression. Structurally uplifting cis women helps me in turn; there is no way to structurally uplift cis men, because they are already the top of the gender hierarchy. Structurally uplifting trans people, of course, helps us both.

You're angry, and not for no reason; there very much are issues that transmasculine people suffer. Cis MRA groups were angry about the draft, about disabled men, about the criminal justice system- and disability rights and an abolishment of the military and carceral systems are real, valid causes! But MRA thought directs that anger towards feminism. MRA subreddits had posts about men expressing very real isolation and ableism, side by side with blaming women like Anita Sarkeesian and the early metoo movement for their problems. Here on tumblr, we see TMRAs condemning any terminology that allows transfems to describe their oppressors an participating in harassment campaigns against outspoken trans women.

Spend some time asking yourself; who are you angry at? Who's telling you to be mad at transfeminists?

Tell me your reasoning!

Imo Dean going to hell for four months would've been enough for the degree of trauma he shows later on, and it translating to 40 years for him cheapens it to me. For Sam, it made a little more sense w/ the wall

this post is an experiment, I am curious about how far you will get into the post.

to start, I challenge you to read the orange text below, and not read any further:

the challenge is to only read this far into the post. if you are stopping here, leave a comment about your favorite carbohydrate.

ok, you have decided to continue reading. hell yeah. no shame in that at all. this test is not meant to make you feel bad, in fact, you should be happy whenever you want forever.

if you made it here leave a comment of your favorite fictional universe, you are officially a Tier 2 Post Reader.

ok, the next part of this post is behind a barrier, there's a keep reading button. if you made it this far, tell me your favorite reptile in the comments. you are more than welcome to stop here, only continue if you would like to.

hiiiii :)

ok you're in the big leagues now. this is the DLC of the post. if you made it here, tell me your favorite milk substitute.

now FOR REAL. this would be a cool place to finish off at. you can go after this, I promise you're not missing out, you can leave. If you made it here, tell me what tattoo you would get if you decided to get a new tattoo today.

thank you for reading, I promise this is a cool place to stop reading the post. you really can go now. :) 👍

*ahem* alright, you are still with me. I'm happy to have ya. here's the deal, the chance of you seeing a picture of my dog within this post is 12.5%. you have a 1/8 chance of seeing a dog in this post.

keep in mind, that is not a high chance.

if you are ready to leave now, tell me your favorite plant. like, your favorite plant can be a tree or a specific fruit or vegetable or whatever. just tell me your favorite. then you may leave the post.

alright. since you made it here, I have the ultimate test: a link. definitely the highest barrier to entry so far, this could lead you anywhere. it's a trust exercise with a complete stranger.

clicking on this link will continue the post further, for how long this will go on, I cannot say. If you do not want to proceed, tell me your favorite sauce, and be on your way. I like buffalo ranch.

"you don't need medical interventions to be trans" sure! The thing is, I find it a bit tactless that we're doing this discourse again as access to gender affirming care is being restricted. If I lose access to hrt, I will obviously still be trans but I will also be so much worse off. Before I was on hrt and had gender affirming surgery I was suicidal, and now I'm happy with my life. I don't want to go back. So if I and other trans people are devoting a lot of energy to really talking up and defending those medical interventions lately, that's why

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out
