23 years old | She/They | Demigirl, Transgender & Bi | I will post about things I like, about cartoons (RWBY, SPOP, TDP, EoA), videogames (Fire Emblem, Persona, Ace Attorney), Star Trek, LGTB content, comic books, some movies or series, maybe a song. I don't know ;)

Controversial opinion: Trans women are not "male women".

Hope this helps!

Turbo-nuclear take: "Trans woman" is not a different gender from "cis woman".

Take at which we can achieve nuclear fusion: "woman of color" is also not a different gender from "cis woman".

If women of color are so "masculinized", if we are so Indelibly Associated with Maleness, then why are we hypersexualized and treated as disposable sex objects by a white-hegemonic patriarchal culture? Does our fetishization as "highly submissive" register as particularly male to you? Does the proliferation of beauty industry trends fixated on commodifying our features and making them surgically available to white women seem like we are being distanced from womanhood?

If "trans women face so much pressure to change their bodies", why do clinics stonewall and refuse to prescribe us the treatment we desperately need, and why do doctors UNDER-PRESCRIBE HRT to us, or refuse to cover top surgery for trans women?

Think, Tumblr, think!

I will state, plainly, that this site is so transmisogynistic, even its acceptance of transfemininity is transmisogynistic.

Tumblr hates women. Hates women and womanhood. It views being a woman as boring, un-hip, conformist, regressive, and 'patriarchal' or 'male gaze'.

Every time I see a post that is transfem-positive, it is almost always couched in casting trans women as Male Women, as avatars of gender-ambiguity, as a "masculine womanhood".

Best of both worlds, eh?

You are The Misogyny Site, and even your supposed 'acceptance' of us is poisoned swill.

And you will never unpack or do anything about the rampant transmisogyny on this site for as long as you are dominated by a culture that insists on womanhood as something to abhor and distance yourself from at all costs.

“Rayban charity glasses event” is a scam don’t click any link in a post that says that.

Old tumblr users remember this scam back when it first went out.

Also no, this isn’t a joke. This phishing scam is 100% running its course again so watch out for your mutuals long abandoned accounts suddenly posting it. Please make everyone aware of it since most users here are newbies who have not seen it before!

It's Miku Day, 3/9, so here's some art of here and her Triple Baka friends! Neru my beloved I took away your speaking rights for the meme.

Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?

The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.

These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.

These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.

Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesn’t have these.

Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.

THIS SUMMERS GONNA BE SO COOL
