one of the most enduringly obnoxious things about algorithmic feeds is that there is genuinely no amount of blocking and tailoring and "not interested in this" and "show me less content like this" that will ever ever convince the algorithm that you don't want to be shown content promoting weight loss

Help a trans gal stop waiting

Trying to get facial electrolysis for years, and between being underpaid when I did have a job and ignored now that I'm too disabled to be "employable" I'm just so tired that a really basic stage of my transition has been gated behind an amount of money I can never have lying around. Shaving grows back within 5-6 hours and it never ends

"they took pluto from you" "they took dinosaurs from you" "they took neptune from you" grow a second personality trait and stop getting upset that our understanding of the world has grown since you were in 3rd grade

In Japanese, they don’t say “moon,” they say “tsuki,” which literally translates to “moon,” and I think that’s how language works.

Money money money ain’t it funny

Look, all I'm saying is, when I went to a hair removal clinic to get this bullshit off my face I was advised that hirsutism in women is a serious medical condition and before paying up i should make sure my doctor would note in my journal that i have it, so that it would be eligible for coverage

So I checked aaaaaaand nope, not when you're trans, specifically. Then there's no proven psychological benefit of removing facial hair, apparently.

That is the difference.

[notsoepick]

In the mind of the healthcare system I don't have "low estrogen by female standards", I have "gender incongruence".

In the mind of the healthcare system I don't have "unwanted and severe facial hair growth impacting self image", I have "gender incongruence".

In the mind of the healthcare system, procedures that are taken for granted as justified medical interventions when it's a cis woman are reluctantly offered if and only if they can be convinced that my mental health will improve, and I better pay up myself.

That is the systemic difference between a woman assigned male at birth and a woman assigned female at birth.

Failure to understand these mechanisms will inevitably lead you to transmisogyny. Inevitably.

showed my brother this image & now he quotes it every time i steal his food. mistake, i fear

[notsoepick]

I tap the mic. “Most people don’t want to crawl down your chimney and steal your dog.”

the crowd murmurs uncertainly.

“If someone wants to steal your dog,” I continue, “there are easier ways to do that. They don’t have to crawl into a chimney.”

Murmuring intensifies. People stand in their seats and begin to boo.

“People disguising themselves as chimney sweepers and stealing dogs is not a rational fear,” I shout. “Literally anyone could steal your dog. Why make sweeping chimneys illegal?”

“I have a list of chimney sweeps who stole dogs from parks!” Someone yells, throwing a shoe.

“You seriously think no chimney sweepers could possibly ever steal from a home?” Another cries.

“Only a dog thief would even want to crawl into a chimney to begin with!” Says a third.

A single tear rolls down my cheek. They are all so fucking stupid

This is a metaphor
