i mean i figure if we abolish agab then we abolish cis and trans as concepts altogether. but i guess that would only be on a technical level because that is how we define cisness and transness but functionally it wouldn't be so simple, transition would necessarily still exist

would it be stupid to propose we replace agab with like something that refers to how you were raised or intended to be gendered by society im seeing a lot of afab transfem discourse lately and several people who were like immediately reassigned male and raised as boys before transitioning

wouldnt waste breath arguing with pro lifers bc they just want to waste your time but there are arguments worth making to someone

saw some shithead pro life teen boys on the bridge yesterday looking for debate and i keep thinking about them and how pro choice really doesnt get the point across well enough its pro body control

saw someone on tumblr say they hope the next deltarune tumblr sexyman character is a woman and i know what they mean (like they want the next deltarune fandom fixation character to be female) but wording it that way feels so "let men be masculine" lmfao

lmaooo i just found out rpgmaker forums are getting shut down (bc theyre moving to a mew platform) and so i have to completely redo my servers reference channel i found this out via my news app that i just happened to look at out of boredom its going down in dec so ig i got tome to deal with that

started whipping girl though and im still in the preface but this is the 2016 edition and she keeps talking about stuff thats changed between 2007 and then and im like ough... the difference between 2007 and 2016 and 2016 and now is... oughh

need to read book instead of tumblr posts, keep making that mistake

saw some trans guy memoirs at the library yesterday and was like hah why would i read those, im one of those im a trans guy memoir in the making (mostly as a joke not bc im actually that dismissive) but i probably should read some stuff other trans guys write said before had convos with-

ngl i completely forgot that some womens restrooms have period products in them i dont use that one anymore but it hasnt been that long since i switched and ive literally never seen that before

deleted thread bc i hate posting in threads when im not confident im communicating what i want clearly enough

i did also finally get whipping girl from the library :) I've read pieces and some essays from julia serano before and also essays others have written about the book but not the entire book itself so im gonna do that

i saw someone say that trans mens oppression is kind of "either or" irt transphobia and misogyny, like in a way for us theyre just the same thing and thats why its different for trans women bc theyre like two different forces that compound and thats why we dont understand each other very well?

okay yeah pretty sure i accidentally double dosed my dex this afternoon, heart rate is kinda high even though im not doing anything and i am fuckin sleepy

make online a better place for you and everyone else by taking these words to heart

yknow i do get really tired of people conflating transmascs and trans men to the point that youre making criticisms of like nonbinary people afab and trans men and we are RARELY the same group. like 1) trans men arent represented by ambiguous androgynous but clearly ftm nb characters-

the representation politics thing is particularly annoying when its directed at like indie/small team kind of projects (youd think id be talking about circus and it applies but im actually not) like, genuinely, peoples more personal projects do not owe you a mirror into your soul and presenting you-

been really just like, not feeling this representation politics thing a lot of people are always on lately. it makes me feel like a reactionary but like i used to care about it, i do think on some level its important to consider outside perspectives when you write characters but ive always thought-

i feel bad being like oughhh im so cold im dying of hypothermia meanwhile its only 21 degrees and other people are posting about how its like 6 degrees where they are but in my defense i dont have winter clothes im in summer mode all the time over here

im so cold but im taking the opportunity to save on electricity by never using heating elements we could save so much money

trying to buy gay fuzzy hello kitty pants online (i need pajama pants bc im cold) and the size chart is so weird, my thighs are too big for their biggest option and my legs are too short for their smallest option and theres no list for waist at all which is usually the thing i base sizing on

between 1 and 2 is a prime choice but one drawback: no guns i like guns in fable but they might be too good so maybe its not the worst thing to get rid of them. not that theyre that much better than bows were but in the first game magic is busted so it doesnt matter

keep forgetting to actually watch the new fable trailer and process it i was not paying attention to it the first time bc i didnt realize it was fable

i need to remember to look into that crt filter noodle was talking about forever ago

i remember being really scared by the sound of zombies eating you in the early resident evil games bc i was 5 at the time

orin laughed at me calling all the game showcases phantom E3 and i said the only difference is you dont get todd howard on a stage but he said todds still there and i said oh yeah todd howard is haunting the narrative

filling a friend in on phantom E3 and processing some announcements now and i just realized itll be cool to check out code veronica, i played i think RE1, RE2 and code veronica to my knowledge when i was like 5 but i only have vague memories of code veronica

perhaps when you say "the same people who say x are also saying y (which contradicts x)" you should actually double check that youre not just conflating two different groups on the basis that they both disagree with you

The sportsmates are a parasitic invasive species that have taken over Wuhu island forcing the Miis to live in underground strongholds

the other thing about the way theyre doing some remakes lately is that theyre not usually remasters theyre reimaginings/reinterpretations which is the most interesting way to do it except ratchet and clank that doesnt count

transition timeline

Remakes are just a scam by big old to sell you new old

I've been thinking about this nonstop since I read it last night

watching nintendo direct now

i don't want good games getting remakes, i want mid games or games that got fried by time and budget issues to get a chance to do it again and see if they can do it how they really wanted this time

also sad i wanted to do a joke of reading the episode cards in an ash ketchum voice but my voice is too deep to do an ash ketchum voice. i never tried it before i missed my chance oh well

we started watching utena and i feel bad bc the relationship wakaba and utena have reminds me of several weird friendships ive had before but i feel like utena is such a lesbian show that transmasc utena is a Not Allowed

also theres kind of a funny trick happening with falin, its called intrigue youre actually more drawn to falin because we DONT know as much about her as other characters

saw a criticism of dunmeshi that falin is the best most interesting character and its a huge flaw that she doesnt have more screen time. and i like falin a lot but i feel like thats a weird way to frame the issue youre having with it. like narratively falin is a macguffin

every time i see a small picture of a while woman smiling i think its feminized mr beast at first

i always get worried about complaining about things that are technically or adjacently the consequence of hrt bc of the looming spectre of perceived transition regret. and like, its absolutely not a dealbreaker, like i said its not a new problem and even if it was i still prefer T to E but yeah

scarring sucks and im not happy with how its starting to look esp on my back and shoulders but i feel like i could live with it if it didnt HURT so much (again not a new problem)

looking further into acne stuff (trying to find out if itll just resolve on its own) and 1) apparently it normally doesnt resolve on its own for transmascs?? and 2) i got cystic acne and apparently that shit scars even if you leave it alone (which i dont bc idk im neurotic)

you realize if you constantly exaggerate your arguments to make them sound as damning as possible every single time you help desensitize people to your argument which makes it less effective, im not coming at this from a "the left calls everyone they dont like nazis" perspective either im serious

just saw someone else say claire redfield from the code veronica remake looks 14 and youd be insane and pedophile brained to think she looks like an adult woman but like, i dont think ambiguously youthful is the same as minor coded. its misogynistic to design fem characters to lean youthful-

also really worked up about the pornification of the tomboy again like i dont really feel like i have a right to bc im an ex-tomboy if anything im one of the three options for what happens when a tomboy grows up but still like THAT LABEL WAS IMPORTANT TO ME AS A KID IT FEELS SO WEIRD

saw an amazing comment on the trailer where someone was like stellar blade 2 goty!! and someone replied something like "it 100% will be we just need gta 6 to flop which it probably will" these people are not in contact with reality

usually these like sex doll characters are made to look eurasian so they kinda look like me pre T but man even when i was 17 i looked older than that character

oh the stellar blade character really does look 11, usually i get a little frustrated with people saying adult characters look like kids and are therefore pedophilic (esp as someone with soft cheeks) (tying beauty to youth can be misogynistic without being pedophilic) but yeah its bad tbh

oh there was fable news???? i didnt even know there was an xbox stream thing
