  I think cis people have a really hard time grasping why trans people are discouraging of detransition. They look at it like we're trying to indoctrinate and evangelize people. But it comes back to their struggle to internalize our realities of who we are. Would someone ever look at a cis woman and say "you need to live as a man or you'll be kicked out of your home and lose your job" and then seriously expect her to become a man? No, that'd be insane! But that's w...

  The forced integration of AI into our lives is a massive knowledge transfer away from the "lower" classes. The right wing has spent 30+ years railing against our modern education system. The US South has been a testing ground for this, as they've moved more toward religious beliefs and away from modern education. Now we see AI companies buying and burning books, destroying search engines, forcing their way into our education systems while other core courses are cut, offering ea...

  There's a girl I'm acquainted with through online spaces. She's very nice. She's also trans and on the clocky end of the spectrum. From a distance, you'd probably not notice she's trans. But if you're closer to her, you almost definitely would. She also has a very deep voice. She's often surprised that she gets clocked. And she says she "doesn't know why it happens." And I'm not gonna be the one to tell her that she is, in fact, clocky. That&...

  "Hey, copilot. I haven't read the novel for tonight's book club. Please summarize it." Fuck. You. I'm actually in a book club. I read the book each month. And if I don't read it? I don't go. Reading the book is *the point.* If you show up and start spouting the opinions of AI slop, I'm going to be pissed. Why are you even here? You didn't read the book! You know nothing about it! And no, that LLM summary doesn't solve that! The nuances matter! (Yes...

  "Are the straights ok?" Honestly, god, not really. Ever notice how open and comfortable queer people are with complex conversations? And how we're ready for forming intimate connections with friends and mostly unconcerned with being judged by others? And our ability to talk about our bodies, our ailments, our struggles, and our lives? Have you tried talking with cishet people about this stuff lately? How many of them genuinely seem to gloss over or struggle in this situations?...

  Forever feeling guilty for every time I clock a trans person in the wild.

  @Mwritter@universeodon.com @RickiTarr@beige.party They're already actively ignoring trans discrimination cases. The DoJ has refused to investigate blatant workplace discrimination and public violence against trans people for the last 1.5 years.

  Replying to a mod with a bunch of Transmed beliefs as your first comment on a subreddit is a wild pull.

  Oh my God. My partner's dad is dating this woman...who is just the worst. We're sharing a hotel room for a short vaca and last night she woke up in the middle of the night and just starts...talking to her dad full volume. No attempt to whisper, while we're sleeping. Then she goes to the bathroom, turns on the light in there, comes out and just leaves the light on. And it is a BRIGHT light. She has made numerous racist comments. (Weird how she has a problem with every...

  I went to dinner at a local restaurant that had really good reviews. My partner and I had a horrible experience. The service was bad. The food was mid. The ambience was uninspired. But we can't find any bad reviews. And ERIC RIPERT JUST WENT AND SAID IT WAS GOOD! What kind of drugs are they putting in everyone else's food that they didn't put in ours???

  "purity culture" and "puritan" are divisive terms that are being used to persecute feminists currently. I need y'all to see it and recognize it. The terms are being used to damage feminist movements, and it's working, because you can't call out the male gaze anymore without being told you're a "puritan." And it's far, far more insidious than that. But we're gonna start there for today.

  The fact that advocating for trans people makes people question whether you're trans is a *fucking problem.*

  @damonology I don't understand it either. I see it not only as an issue of respect, but also just... Caring and loving. Like, how can you say you care and love me if you won't take the time to understand me? I met my cis lesbian partner only 2 years ago, after I started transition but before bottom surgery. And she loves me more than anyone on this planet ever has. And she sees me as a woman, through and through, no exceptions. Why can she understand it, but they can't?

  @revoluciana yessss! It's crazy how much I see trans girls be like "omg they told me I'm pretty so they must have clocked me!" Girl, that's just internalized transphobia! Not everyone can tell you're trans! And actually, you're really pretty, and that's ok and awesome and cool! Because trans people are totally capable of being pretty actually!!

  @revoluciana also also - in case this wasn't clear in my previous response - you can be clocky AND hot. Like, Julia Kaye? The girl who writes those trans comics? I think she's just a tiny bit clocky and also SO hot! I have a crussshhhhh on her! So I mean, maybe they clocked you and maybe they didn't? But who cares? What's it matter? They ALSO think you're attractive, and that's all they're commenting on!

  I really, really need people to understand some things in the fight for feminism, queer rights, and equality: 1) The patriarchy is the problem. If you are upset about this statement, you need to self-reflect and read up on some progressive lit to internalize what this means and what the patriarchy actually is. 2) "MRA" branding is patriarchal alignment. It's a movement that is inherently anti-feminist and aligns with things like the man-o-sphere. You cannot be an MRA...
