I think I might need to be "done" with Bluesky at least until I've reached my new normal with hormone suppression. I'm so tired and not all of it is from radiation. If I'm not here and anyone wants to keep in touch, I'm alleywitch on Discord and alleywitch17@gmail.com
Theyfab and theymab are enbyphobic terms. Call out behavior, not identities, ffs.
When it's 1943 and your job is handling some of the most sensitive military intelligence in the world, but you think your reports would still benefit from a little extra razzle-dazzle:
I know trans women have different needs and struggles than a lot of nonbinary people (including me) and I do my best to be respectful. But a minority of what I see is more like "bi privilege" where really the privilege is invisibility and a double edged sword.
If you've seen my screechings, that's not what I'm trying to say. I get there's a difference; I've just seen "I get misgendered because enbies exist" and "here's my taxonomy of how trans people are, ranked by their transition desires" and I can't even. (1/2)
Testosterone is legally equivalent to Adderall in the US, if it wasn't locked up behind doctors, I would think far more "AFAB enbies" would medically transition, or even just try it out. That's something grim sitting in the background of all this.
...otherwise, we'd have the energy to fight back against it. Same as how working, taking care of oneself, etc. under the demands of capitalism and nuclear families leaves most of us unable to fight back or have time for things that just bring joy.
Midnight thought: Cishet couples who don't even like each other will probably produce both babies and stress. Expecting celibacy before marriage encourages rushing to marry without a full picture of who you're marrying. Cisheteropatriarchy wants us all feeling alone and overwhelmed...
this is what is coming to blue states as a whole under a second Trump administration, any deviation from their desired policies will result in the removal of any and all local control
Kansas City is the only city of its size in the country that has no control over its police — but the state just mandated it to hand 25% of its budget to the police department. Let me repeat: They have *no control* on what the police does with that money. boltsmag.org/kansas-city-...
Voters approved a statewide measure requiring Kansas City to spend at least 25 percent of its general revenue on police. It’s the only city in the state with no control over how it’s policed.
I know trans people who don't care about the configuration of their flesh prison. I know trans people who can't medically transition to their true "sex" because male, female, both, and nothing aren't enough options. (I am one.) Calling us cissexual is BS. Go after GCs, not us. Think weirder.
