WHEN WERE YOU GUYS GOING TO TELL ME THAT ANA FLORES OF "I THINK YOU SHOULD GO HOME FIRST" FAME CLOCKED EDDIE FROM THE JUMP?????

I wonder if there was a whole department of DS9's prod entirely dedicated to Ferengi clothing.

Did they hired a dozen people in 1992, and the job description was like : "This man will need to serve cunt every week for the next 7 years."

A popular sex ed blog has decided trans men & mascs aren't allowed to use our own words to describe our own oppression, and seems to be deleting replies and asks that say otherwise, so I've decided to take my ramble over to main.

Regarding TMA/TME language, they've brought up a couple of times how "exempt" means "set apart" rather than "never experiences transmisogyny ever," and how words can have multiple definitions (this post). So it's best to hear people out before jumping to bad-faith interpretations of their words.

However, they also say, "misandry is a term for the 'oppression of men based on gender'" (this post) as a reason why "transmisandry" can never be used.

That is one definition of misandry, yes, but as they pointed out, words can have multiple definitions! Regarding the oppression against trans men & mascs, misandry is generally used to mean the literal "hatred of men," and people in these discussions don't believe that misandry is an axis of systemic oppression (which has been stated over and over).

Yes, it has negative connotations, which is why people more often use transandrophobia or anti-transmasculinity instead. (This poll shows more specifically which terms are most preferred.) But that doesn't mean people who use the term transmisandry are MRAs or believe in the MRA concept of misandry.

Transmisandry is not claiming a combination of systemic transphobia and "systemic misandry," but hatred against trans men & mascs for being trans men/masc. Again, many people prefer other terms that leave less room for that misinterpretation, but people who do use the term transmisandry aren't responsible for others repeatedly ignoring their actual explanations of the term.

In general, arguing over the words rather than the concepts is a very common way to silence people who are trying to talk about their oppression. Jews talking about antisemitism get dismissed because "You're not Semitic, you're from Poland." Aromantic and asexual people get dismissed because "Aphobia literally means 'fear of nothing,' that's a stupid term." And trans men & mascs get told "You can't use that word to talk about your oppression, it's problematic." (Time and time again, and every time we pick a new word, that one gets called problematic too; it's almost like the problem was never really the word?) The words get picked apart but people don't listen to what we're actually saying, the ways we're suffering.

In their own words, from this post: "Do you have to like the language? No. Do you have to respect the way and language oppressed people have chosen to speak about their oppression? Yes. Yes, you do."

Trans men & mascs shouldn't be an exception to your respect.

literally everything about buck and tommy in 7x04 -> about eddie. first date -> interrupted by eddie. buck's conversation with maddie re: his first date with a man -> about eddie. bachelor party -> eddie gets there first, tommy arrives, tommy leaves, buck and eddie spend the entire night attached at the hip. medal ceremony -> camera cuts to eddie. zoom birthday party -> odd man out tommy. hospital -> tommy visiting, eddie already sat there like he’s buck's spouse. buck gets boils -> tommy is there but distanced and eddie is the one tending to him?

well. this definitely does not mean nothing.

ANYONE BUT YOU (2023) dir. Will Gluck

I can't help but compare Megatron and Optimus' relationship to ancient literature and mythology. Their story (and by extension the story of the cybertronian war) reads like an ancient Greek tragedy. Or a heartbreaking Chinese poem. To be locked in a devastating war in which the two leaders are evenly matched, who knew each other in the past, who still know each other so intimately that their very existence relies on the other. Doomed to fight for millions of years, and to know that they will probably die together and be intertwined for all of eternity. Whether they are friends, enemies, lovers- they exist alongside one another. Intrinsically linked yet rarely ever together. Both so guarded but somehow know the deepest parts of their sparks in a way no one else could even reach. Their story carved in stone, reflected in art, and written in the stars.

Optimus Prime and Megatron: the most beautiful tragedy.

i will never forgive ryan guzman for the "what you always do... just talk to him" line. like he didn't write it, i know that, but the way he delivered it was absolutely foul. because tell me HOW he manages to keep up the same level of anguish and guilt and desperation in his facial expression and especially in his eyes whilst also, halfway through that line, turning those eyes into the big brown moony cow eyes filled with love for his best friend. like i genuinely don't understand how he does it. you go back and watch that line and he looks like someone's driving a metal spike through his heart but also somehow simultaneously he looks like he's ready to hand it over to buck for the rest of their lives. i don't UNDERSTANDDDDD

Why do I wanna write roommate Simon/Ghost??

Roommate Simon who's gone for months at time, but always brings you sweets and trinkets from wherever he's been stationed while he's deployed. He looks at little souvenirs or remembers the dishes he's tried and he takes a mental note to get you something similar before he boards the plane to go back.

Roommate Simon who barely keeps in touch but is worried sick about you. Did you eat? Are you sleeping okay? Does your car need fixing again? Are you safe? Are you still getting nightmares? God, he wishes he was there to hold you while he eases you back into sleeping again.

Roommate Simon who encourages you to text him anyway, despite being busy on the job and unable to text/call you back. But the moment he's on leave, he takes his sweet time scrolling down his phone. You tell him about your day, you text him about your hardass professor, send him videos of you being horrendous at darts at the bar you and him usually go to whenever he's back from duty, show him pictures of all the cute puppies and kittens you find while you're out on a walk and beg him if he'd be amenable to getting a furry friend for the both of you. (Truth be told, if it's you who's asking, he'd pretty much lay down the entire world at your feet.)

Roommate Simon who comes back home to the smell of good food being cooked and you running up to him but stopping short a few feet away from him - hesitant to touch him, only for him to engulf you in a bone-crushing hug as he breathes you in. You smell safe. You smell clean.

You smell like home. Maybe you are his home.

He doesn't have a penchant for physical touch - recoils from anything that intimate faster than the guns he uses on the battlefield, but god forbid, he deprives himself from holding you. For this instant, when you're alive and safe (and still so lovely), and you breathe enough life in him for him to feel like Simon again and not just Ghost, he'd like to hold you in his arms for now.
