i'm not sure what to do with the continued assault on trans people by old media institutions other than to assume they're pledging subservience to the new neo-feudal class that wants to eradicate us

The justification was that Cheddi would have made Guyana communistic, so in order to stop WORLD COMMUNISM, JFK had no choice but to remove him.

I talk a lot about how my mother experienced Regime Change in real time in her home country after they elected a left-leaning politician (Cheddi Jagan) and this made JFK so angry he scromited. Then he installed a dictator named Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham.

Can we get this higher?

It has literally never happened to me. Zero times over the three years I've been out of the closet has any cis person responded to bad news on trans issues by checking in on me.

In 2023 when I was panicking about losing access to HRT because the private HRT provider I was getting it from lost their medical license? Even when I told people about the situation, they just blankly failed to connect the dots to how that might impact my mental state.

I literally warned against exactly this in my dissertation and i am very tired of eugenicist fascist authoritarians using all the things we've warned about as a fucking shopping list

MeToo never, not once, went "too far", and was far, far away from going far enough.

Trying to mulch every detransitioner, even ones that remain allies to trans people, is frankly cult behavior cults try to mulch anyone who dares leave the cult! stop acting like a cult!!

Gonna stream First Berserker in about 4 hours! I was gonna wait until the update that let's you play as a lady but I wanna try the game out as is. She's just pre HRT, don't worry y'all. Look forward to catching you all at twitch.tv/vyria_durav

for your consideration: lesbian occult investigator and her demonic frienemy who always shows up when she’s in trouble and always says “this is the last time. next time i’ll kill you myself.”

I want to know when I'm going to stop randomly crying and dissociating because these last two weeks aren't sustainable.

This is 100% because men want to fuck lesbians and given the power of fiction they can write a lesbian then call her straight.

I have been severely depressed for the last two weeks now, & I don't really know what it's going to take to make this go away. Every time I think I'm a step closer to crawling out of this funk, my brain decides to dig me in even worse. It's exhausting when it always feels like the world is ending.

but also by* like we, as a people, survived the holocaust only for some dumb fucks to talk like this? disgusting. worm behavior

First that introduced me was D&D 3.0, and then 4th was a second introduction after not playing D&D for years. What really made me stick with TTRPGs though was my introduction to Werewolf the Apocalypse followed by Vampire the Masquerade.

if you want to buy wanderhome, it is *finally* available in print !

Think about my ex-gf back in Amerikka whose family home is on the land above the #9 mine where the Mannington Mine Disaster occurred (although as my ex/eternal bestie would say, it's the #9 Disaster). I hope trans folks back home are being taken care of right now.

Marital rape is legal there, and her family is marrying her off with immediacy because they believe her 'fertility' will decline after 25. Connect those dots, and please help her avoid that fate.

Well, fuck. A Bangladeshi lesbian friend has been issued an ultimatum on marriage by her family. She was, in the past, subject to religious conversion therapy to try to 'cure' her, and now will be married off against her will unless she can secure the funds and documents to escape. Please help.

"HRT is colonial and binary" for the 1000th time is not what trans people need in 20-FUCKING-25.

Holy fuck are they doing E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy again as it's own thing rather than a Source mod??? That's siiiick

I'm sorry but "My Sweet Lord" is better than any individual Beatles song (except maybe some of George's stuff like While My Guitar Gently Weeps or "Something"), and it's not close. I say this as an atheist.

A man is only not 'permitted' to cry in the sense that he's not allowed to reduce himself to the status of a woman. In fact, abusive men cry a lot! Their Male Tears can be effective in garnering sympathy and absolving them of the harm they have perpetuated against a woman. Examples abound.

I think it's good when knights are women and say shit like I will become your sword I think knight is a lesbian gender and all knights should be women going forward. They just do it better. Oh, you'll pledge your unwavering devotion and love to your lady? Gay. Fruity ass dyke 💜

Could estrogen have saved Artie Bucco?

Occasionally reminded of the cowards who wouldn't stand for Palestine & said they chose the Dem Holocaust of Gaza vs the GOP Holocaust of Gaza AND Trump. As if Dems praised student protesters, and didn't deport more ppl than GOP. If only they could've voted on killing every last person in Palestine.

Okay everybody it's time for another Ranked Competitive Breast Growth speculation session! If Nichole and Katherine ever actually do it, then: Who is topping and who is bottoming?

Fear and the human instinct to try to bargain with your enemies

Cis men What good are you if you cannot and will not protect trans women, especially if you find us appealing? No good! That’s the answer!

I see so much energy go into formulating a special queer identity for cis hetero men who are attracted to trans women, and while I have some sympathy for that, the self-image of the cis man is almost always prioritized over the trans woman’s dignity and safety

I’m so tired of cis people not considering the impact of their sexual anxieties and gender mythology on us. The question of “is being with trans woman gay” isn’t some kind of fun math problem, it has direct effects on our safety and mental health

Okay, Slay the Princess is incredibly my jam.

It's always been about opposing feminism and ensuring the reproduction of the patriarchy, turns out.

Women have a place (doing specific kinds of gendered labor) and men have a place (above them, benefiting from it) and the naturalization of this social order is the bedrock of the entire conservative worldview on property relations and the biopolitics of community and nation-building.

The anxiety is in fact more about stamping one's feet and screaming "MEN CAN'T BE WOMEN" because to allow that porosity between two imperfect and socially-enforced categories is to allow the entire edifice of men's superiority, of male-supremacy to crumble as we admit the difference is exaggerated.

Ultimately, the background-radiation component of transphobia, once you take away the visceral "MEN INVADING BATHROOMS, PRISONS, SPORTS!" of it all, is just an unassailable, unshakeable belief in sexual difference and its unquestionable importance to how we organize society. This IS the core.

Someone I knew a decade ago released an EP and I cried so much listening to it that my wife was actively concerned with my well-being last night if you want to know how I've been lately.

What if Tom Ripley transitioned is a good bit actually

Sorry. The Talented Mr. Ripley is maybe one of my ten favorite films after my second watch. I like it A Lot. I need to read the books desperately and all of Patricia Highsmith generally.

Alain Delon was a much more conventionally sexy leading man than Matt Damon, but Matt Damon gives Ripley an emotional sensitivity that belies the notion that he's a typical sociopath/psychopath. It is a much more lesbian performance.

Somewhat controversial take apparently, but the Alain Delon Ripley film does not have a quarter of the sauce of the Anthony Minghella Ripley film.

I dunno man the way the Queer Community has just bought all of the right wing attacks, incorporated all of their words, and refused to allow transfeminine people specifically to, you know, speak for ourselves and build a body of work that describes us - it's bleak. And awful.

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

The fluoxetine has at least stopped the brain zaps so I'm calling that a small victory.

Anyways, because I'm pop culture poisoned brain, all I can hear in my head right now is Tony Soprano saying "well, here comes the Prozac"

Oh, lovely. This hospital doesn't have duloxetine so they're putting me on fluoxetine. I have had bad experiences with SSRIs over SNRIs, although that was with sertraline specifically. Let's see how much switching meds fucks me up for a bit.
