this is just how I pick up women

I sort of intuitively slip into using "trans girls"/"trans women" to distinguish levels of transition experience. To me "Trans Women" are the ones who've had time to get a grip on things, while "Trans Girls" are the ones still posting "chat, am I faking it if I don't like musical theater?" on Reddit

transfem extra money glitch: make sure you're being called a man by an online harasser right when your paycheck hits. you will be temporarily gaining male privilege, boosting your paycheck by a significant margin. this is totally how it works, i learned it on tumblr.

let’s get this bundle to a niiiiice even 10k, the lesbians paving the way with toxic yuri deserve our support! a lot of girls are gonna be able to pay bills or afford food this month because of this bundle. absolutely incredible

I see it's the seasonal argument about why piracy to fuck over Amazon and publishers is okay while many authors live below the poverty line.

"US senator disappointed in Canada no longer treating them like a friendly neighbor" My dude your country is the neighbor which keeps getting back with their abusive ex who just threatened to beat us up Get your shit together and we can talk

It's honestly so bold of politicians to get upset about protests or other blowback affecting their personal lives when at no point do we get to opt out of the consequences of their policymaking. Like I'm sorry but my sympathy is less than zero, lol.

This kind of slave morality is why I find so many Christians contemptible.

straight men with boyfriends are in the clear tho

Wherever its actual birthplace, what remains of Theia is buried on the Moon and as giant undigested slabs inside Earth’s mantle.

I’d trade it all for, um... Shit, what were the benefits again? Something about bananas? And sausages? And the non-rainbow kind of pride? Yeah. I’d trade it all for... that.

Sodexo killed Toni Asik.

I just got evicted and I don't have the resources to find a new place, am hoping some nice people will feel like helping a disabled trans woman (who still works, somewhat) out with an unexpected setback? sorry i even have to ask :/ www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

the perfect number... thank you everyone who got us this far <3 this bundle has a lot of transfem contributors and this is a precarious time for all of us, so this money is going to go a long way. there's still a week left to get a copy of the bundle, don't miss out: itch.io/b/3364/poiso...

Finland uses “Russia-gauge” rails. They are going to move to European compatible rail gauge for their own resilience. This is what we should be thinking about for moving to open social away from American platforms: it should come with significant spending commitments & is absolutely necessary.

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world And by design LLMs destroy shared context

"Here's the evidence" look at the evidence ambiguously worded post "no but you have to view it in context" look at the context more ambiguously worded posts, chopped up and interspersed with commentary to engineer bias

"you turned all of humanity into orange goop just so I could reform myself as a girl?" "I did." "Why?" "It was easier than just talking to you about gender identity. I couldn't face the risk that I was wrong"

I checked and yeah this is real!!!! Losing my fucking mind Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Aha, you see! Some righteous customer has returned the total to its natural state of integer innocence! Wonderful. Hopefully we get no more perverts adding decimals from now on.

It's so funny that like half of trans Bluesky saw this fucking wretched traitor give a bunch of speeches and interviews about how some trans rights have to be sacrificed for the greater good and how you have to form coalitions with transphobes and coddle them because Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I think one of the things that makes me the most Unhinged is that the government is dragging people from their homes in the middle of the night, ramming people with their cars and shooting them for fun, and everyone is just doing the same discourses we always have Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

"Warming is going to exceed 1.5°C. We are heading into overshoot within the next few years": a stark message by PIK Director Rockström & James Dyke in @theconversation.com. Yet, science shows a way back: fossil-fuel phase-out, nature protection, carbon removal. theconversation.com/the-world-lo...

Youth transitioners being treated as de facto criminals and deviants

I just got evicted and I don't have the resources to find a new place, am hoping some nice people will feel like helping a disabled trans woman (who still works, somewhat) out with an unexpected setback? sorry i even have to ask :/ www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

anything is appreciated 💜

hey guys i made a seasonal meme

Um, I know there's a million crowdfunds right now, but I struggle to put it into words how much I need this to stay alive. www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-sup...

Mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell is cool and all but I think classes like "How to calm the fuck down as an adult in a healthy non self-destructive way 101" is something that should also be taught before graduation

like DIY, including blood tests, is a thing. do that! but really it shouldn’t be as hard as it is to begin with and there’s no reason a person shouldn’t just be able to go into a pharmacy and get estrogen, progesterone or testosterone without a script. hrt is safer than fucking Tylenol

The EHRC want to exclude women from femal single-sex spaces based on how "female" they look. This is off the scale sexism and misogyny. Millions of women will face harassment as result of this insanity.

needs to change for any of us to be safe. The war against our rights is international. The fight against it has to happen internationally too. Business as usual as not enough. Accepting people just like you being murdered in other countries because it's the status quo is not enough. We all need...

I don't fully understand american liberals who are certain that things would have turned out better for queer people under harris. Are you not paying attention to what labour did in the UK? Were you sleeping when harris said she also had concerns about trans women in sports? The entire system...

I don't actually want a community with centrists who dream of a future where we're allowed a seat at the table of patriarchal misogyny.

McBride is a spineless assimilationist that supports an apartheid ethnostate enacting genocide, imagine coming around on her because she acted with the bare minimum regard for those who share her specific marginalization.

This part is worth drawing specific attention to. If you love us, if you value what we're putting out into the world, tell us and show us while we're still here. As often as you can. You never know how quickly things will change.

Imagine your child has a medical emergency. You’re a sex worker. You are not making enough from online SW to pay medical costs from her illness so you have to do full-service for a month You get a charge for prostitution. Now your access to online SW is precarious thanks to policies like this

Frankly, where the cause is this straightforward and identifiable, I think it should lead to the culprit's immediate arrest

I've already had that debate for years with TERFs. According to them: women are uteruses = women "are designed" to birth = women not birthing is bad = something something stopping being pregnant is something trans and is very bad, doing woman things wrong. They're misogynists.

I can imagine her "do you know who I am response" And anger at being told "no sir." And ultimately blame this interaction on trans people and not the cultural shift she helped usher in.

It's completely unlawful as a matter of Strasbourg law - it shows no regard to the dignity or privacy of trans people - but whether this will detain a Labour Party which has shown itself willing to undermine the human rights of other groups attacked by the Far Right is a moot point.

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.

Today, the president of the United States said that multiple US senators should be put to death for treason and articles of impeachment have not been filed yet. This country is cooked. Done. Finished.

The State Department has confirmed the right to use heightened scrutiny for trans applicants or for suspected trans applicants.
