no one actually "transitions" into anything. you are still the same you. the only thing you can do is to mutilate your secondary (and even primary) sex characteristics and use synthetic hormones which ruin your health long term. this is extreme body modification, at best. it's genuinely laughable that anyone would still think that cosmetic surgeries and cutting off your tits or dick actually change who you are as a person. wake the fuck up. the time is now. the medical industry does not care about you. you are just a customer.

If you smoke right before getting into the confined space of a bus. Um. Kill yourself

If being generalized drives young men to the right, then how come being generalized and hated never drove people of color, LGBT people, and women to the right...?

Oh right, because the right wasn't made for us.

It's not actually white men's PAIN that radicalizes them, it's the lure of power and superiority.

Women and minorities are hurt and generalized every day. You see less of them on the right or in extreme circles because they still empathize with others and don't want them to feel the same pain.

The narrative of a poor, bullied person resorting to hateful groups because they're lonely and hurt is an alluring one, but let's be clear, that's all it is: an alluring narrative.

The reality is that pain doesn't drive people to extremes: a lack of empathy does.

Not caring about the pain of others is what makes most of these men fly to conservative circles: they're promised power and a place where their feelings are prioritized, and a lifetime of socialization that taught them to disregard the feelings of others is what really pushes them there.

This is why the narrative of a poor, young misled boy is flimsy at best. Many right wingers and incels are older men and they come from a variety of backgrounds.

Pain and mistreatment are not what drive young men to right wing circles--older men feeding them dreams of power and superiority are.

Hmm actually Lucy Gray is different from Haymitch and Katniss and Peeta because her tragedy is she caused the games to continue. If the games hadn't become entertaining, they wouldn't have continued and she made it entertaining because she was an entertainer - she saved herself but she doomed dozens more because she performed too well and it allowed the Capitol to make the games a performance in the later years. Haymitch's tragedy is that he couldn't end the games, Lucy Gray's is that she continued them.

I'm getting targeted hard by meta with egg donation ads both on facebook and instagram. Wish I could bomb these companies

i read this really insightful post by @thesmileykate and it made me realize how sunrise on the reaping adds a whole new layer to snow’s “convince me.” katniss easily “convinced” the majority of panem and all of the capitol of her love for peeta in the 74th games. but not snow, because he thinks all covey women are deceiving to their lovers. he thought there was no possible way katniss truly loved peeta. he wanted to believe all of her choices were for her own self-preservation. but when he saw katniss’s reaction to peeta’s heart stopping in the quarter quell his belief about covey women was proven incorrect. and once peeta was captured he knew he couldn’t take away katniss’s love for peeta, but he could take away peeta’s love for katniss.

"So that day, in music assembly, the teacher asked who knew the valley song. Your hand shot right up in the air. She stood you up on a stool and had you sing it for us. And I swear, every bird outside the windows fell silent. [...] And right when your song ended, I knew—just like your mother—I was a goner.” [Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins]

The devastating parallel of Haymitch not being reaped, he was just taken because he was trying to protect the girl he loved. And the next time he’s reaped he’s replaced by a boy trying to do the same thing.

I need to meet a woman IN REAL LIFE who likes 80's rock music and dresses a bit alternative but still likes to hike sometimes

But it's literally the clearest way to display my point. If you eat absolutely nothing, it's crystal clear that your body will break itself down to survive, and it's impossible for mass to be maintained let alone gained in that state. I'm not exactly perfectly wording my posts to carefully handle any possible triggers, I'm making a post on my own blog about a phenomenon that I really dislike. The idea that because something is difficult to accomplish long term means that thermodynamics and biology are broken is just blatantly untrue and a bad way to handle the situation. I also object to the idea that I was somehow callously encouraging starvation through mind over matter when I gave several examples of why brute force mind over matter-ing yourself probably isn't feasible.

I'd like to know which hormone is the one that breaks the laws of physics by creating matter out of nothing. Because I'm tired of hearing that "women's bodies/hormones" make it literally impossible to lose weight even if you're on a starvation diet. Weight loss being difficult and requiring extreme amounts of discipline, self control and time commitment that is unfeasible for many women in the current socio-cultural climate (the huge time sink of 40+ hour work week with commutes eating up so much of your day and energy PLUS childcare/housework, the omnipresence of ultraprocessed foods and sugar additives, the effort needed to prepare and cook most whole foods, etc etc) doesn't mean the female body contains any actual supernatural elixirs... and claiming you "only eat one small meal a day and am still fat, tell me you only understand bodies from a young cis male experience" no, you tell ME you have no idea how much you actually eat and snack and how little you move your body. It's not a moral failing to be fat but the nebulous "hormones" that supposedly create mass (energy) out of absolutely nothing and therefore prevent only women and trans people for some reason from losing mass by using the energy stored in that mass don't exist or we would have harvested them and stopped climate change already

I'm totally in awe of how in like 2 years an entire alternative history of the Holocaust was created on here where trans people were the first and clearest targets of that genocide, specifically for their trans status. The "deviant" behavior that saw men and women deported to death camps was HOMOSEXUALITY. A whole fucking lot of Nazis liked to crossdress did you know.

I am not saying to go on starvation diets. I'm saying it's physically impossible for the human body to create mass from nothing.

I feel like my body is literally evil to me in its femaleness like if I don't want to break all my bones forever I can't stop having periods and ovulation and shit but if I have healthy bones then I will be forced to also have ovulation and periods. I hate my stupid fucking gonads and every secondary sex characteristic. It's like I'm furious at my body and I feel like I'm fucking trapped inside it, I hate how it functions I hate how it feels I hate that it forces me to be weak and small and fucking menstruate and have heavy breasts that stand out and wide hips it feels like a betrayal and a life sentence to be and do something I don't want
