If you love other girls you gotta stop using misogyny to self-harm; by using The Knife That Harms Women on a singular woman, you ARE implicitly validating that women who have (x trait you think makes you ugly/bad/cringe) are inherently worth less. You are perpetuating misogyny. :(

“But all other women are goddesses!” Putting women on a perfect pedestal is, too, misogyny.

I don’t like phrasing things this way because I don’t want to trigger guilt in those who are already having a hard time, but it is the plainest way I can put it. Either all of us, or none of us. You can’t hurt yourself on behalf of womankind with the tools that hurt women. You gotta self-love.

It is actually way better for other women if you love yourself, especially loving yourself as a human, imperfect, flawed, in-progress, whatever. Putting other women on pedestals deprives them of internality. Seeing yourself as in community with them breeds support & nourishes them.

Things that never would have occurred to me but don't surprise me at all

My curl pattern has gotten looser and wavier these last few years

Transition is a flat circle

Potentially mid take alert but I think that rooting out black/white thinking is really key to trauma healing because if you've never been in a safe place to learn how to navigate (healthy) conflict you end up perusing one of two absolute options, both of which are kind of ass...

- their name is lucifer - they grew up in their ultra rich family’s gothic horror house - they are far nicer than they would ever admit to being - i have had this mf in the vault for….a while - old. but not in immortal way they’re just regular old.

Tarantino-esque non linear narrative structure recipe video

Okay I'm feeling justified in my initial knee-jerk reaction. The laundering of the "matriarchy" as the solution here is more or less like if the divine feminine+patriarchal inverse and the (maybe anarchist?) principles had a baby together and the baby was as progressive as it thinks it is.

I'm trying to look into this now and I start to see that matriarchy gets defined as "egalitarian, not based on domination" blah blah and then we hit the "based on motherliness/maternal values" and that's when I stop feeling like I've been too harsh and instead start squinting.

God: Hey check out this cool new third gender I made! Angel: You've fucked up a perfectly good trans woman is what you've done. Look at her, she has no epistemic authority in the academy

The porn is not the cause, it’s the effect. If you have a society structured to dehumanize certain groups of people…sexual fantasies (especially those for sale) will be built off of that as their background. There is no mystical corruption power from porn. It’s the society. Focus on the society.

“Porn is making men dehumanize women—“ sister the men are making men dehumanize women. Sexuality is a facet of the human psyche, not the root of evil. Patriarchal society already dehumanizes women; of course its porn is going to reflect this & eroticize the dehumanization accordingly.

RCBG • It Gets Worse (Gif)

/r/asktransgender continues to be "what if the RCBG accord server members were real?"

To be a little too honest for a moment, one post that still irks me whenever I remember it is the one that posited only former transmeds with lingering truscum brainrot would care about transfeminism. Which…pal, you and I do NOT have the same sins. I hatched in the primordial tucute ooze.

YOU may have had to have a character arc where you realized other trans people don’t steal resources and *I* may have had to have a character arc where I began to understand how structural oppression operates but we are NOT the same here do not loop me in to your backstory.

You see a lot of tumblr posts about nuance, or racism, or whatever, but the culture of tumblr is mired in creating cult-like circles where everyone else but your specific group is wrong. Even if you call out this cult-like behavior in other groups.

Tumblr at this point conditions you to read secret meanings into people’s words when you otherwise have no context for those words. In part bc sometimes users will speak in riddles, but also in part bc people will be enmeshed in very specific discourses that they think everyone is involved in.

Little fish big fish standing by the water Come back here and bring me my daughter

wait I should post this here too. Hooray for childless trans milf (I guess she’s just a cougar?) (she would keel over if you said that to her, though) (she/her)

wanted to feel productive so here’s a sketch of my blorbo (she/he)

My cat has decided that subtitles are like birds out of the window so I basically have to watch dubs only now -.-

ppl will be like "men don't benefit from patriarchy" and then meanwhile a wife is a sort of parent who can't talk back to you

Bottom surgery that gives your pee laminar flow

Sometimes an image just gets in your head and won't leave until you create it

Genius move by Ethel Cain to post nudes on main while everyone is distracted

I am not drunk. I have only had a couple of drinks and I am not crashing out, either. What the fuck would I have to crash out about?

New report: worldwide supply of Beth for this year already used up. "We're not quite sure how that works or what the implications are," says a representative of the Beth Monitoring Authority.

She identifies as a King Charles/Poodle cross I assume?

…I don’t think the “cissexual gender variant” vs. “transsexual” binary actually exists.

god trans women really are the key to everything, huh

Penis abolition. They're all clits now. Even the big ones.

The burden of spotting weird light coming through the blinds

can you stop eating up the propaganda that it’s the “wrong” kind of man (or in some cases, “man”) that will Attack You. the boogeyman isn’t real the patriarchy IS

you are drinking patriarchy juice by choosing to lash out towards anyone who isn’t the loving patriarch, especially towards a group of people who aren’t even men, bc it’s easier for you to attack them than it is for you to reckon with your “good” men being bad people

it is in fact your loving patriarch who is most incentivized to treat you like the shit under his shoe can we get a grip

nice webcomic you have there... would be a shame if everyone loved it and supported you financially to make it

just finished reading appetite & it’s so fucking good. visceral & just the right amount of crazyinsane mixing unhinged lesbianism with the messiness of vampirism….go forth my reading warriors and get this book today!!!!

I would share the details of how to turn lead into gold but if I did some chuckle fuck would be like "no no no if you burn the antimony at step 3 your whole family will die" despite the fact that my family very much, unfortunately, live

Every time I post about endometriosis and dare to make it, gender inclusive, I always get a lot of comments from people angry that I didn’t just say “women” And every time, I think about how Rowling has enough money to cure endometriosis forever. But she doesn’t actually give a fuck about women.

Witchdoctor Who travels through thyme and sage

As far as we can tell, this was only in the first edition of the book and taken out of subsequent ones, and I can't for the life of me figure out why this is supposedly too much for the later editions when the entire rest of the book is like this too!

Yes, Buffy Summers is that incredible.

the opps won’t tell you that it’s big for rashmi to confront nichole tbh. considering that she’s usually a [okay i’ll just try to grit my teeth & keep going] type gal. it also makes sense defending ru is the motivator to rashmi taking action here, bc she care her.

also we must remember nichole hurt two of the people rashmi is currently closest to & one of those people has decided that she willingly wants to be w the woman who hurt rashmi’s childhood friend. nichole is a villain in this girl’s life.

saw someone be like “where’s the gfm to get rashmi out of that apartment” & genuinely how i felt after rcbg 30. rashmi get out of there girl [her other options are limited bc living w random cis men would be hell.]
