No Cheeseburger Whatsoever Under Any Circumstances

This post always drives me up a wall because like. Where does capitalism come into it? You contacted a business, unsolicited, voluntarily offered them some of your money, and explicitly told them you wanted them to take the money and give you nothing in return. McDonald's, Doordash, and Capitalism are all exploitative in a lot of ways, but the fact that the answer to "what would happen if I offered someone fifteen dollars in exchange for nothing?" turns out to be "I lose fifteen dollars and gain nothing" is kinda on you

“this character should kill their abuser” i agree. unfortunately they wouldn’t do that.

like it feels like “some people can have complex feelings about or even love their abusers” is tough for a lot of people to grasp because they’d rather have some kind of easy karmic retribution toward a character at the hands of their victims. which i sympathize with. but sometimes they just wouldn’t do that, you know?

youre so fuckign right

Hey Americans, if you have a state Supreme Court vote coming up, vote in it. A Supreme Court can make or break a state, especially in this current political climate, and we actually have control over who gets into our state courts.

Wisconsites, we have a Supreme Court vote coming up in April and if you don't vote in it, I'm going to cut a hole into all your window screens, right on the very edge so it's in a place where you can't just patch it but it's too big to just ignore. Enjoy your box elder bugs and grass spiders 🔫

The Wisconsin Supreme Court election is on April 1st. That means that it's happening this Tuesday. Wisconsites, for the love of god, if you haven't cast your vote already, go out and vote.

Both major seats in this election were won by Dems!! Susan Crawford won the Supreme Court seat by a 10% margin, which is huge!!

Please, pay attention to your local and state elections because under this federal government, your local politicians and judges are the ones who can decide what rights you get and the biggest ticket on the ballot for every upcoming election right now is abortion access!

there's a delicate balance between "seeing something on my dash so often i end up caring about it unexpectedly" and "seeing something on my dash so often that it gets added to the blocked list with extreme prejudice"

"Stealth trans men have privilege over cis women" worstie that is not correct

how would a guy who is correctly recognized as male in every aspect of his life, to the point he navigates the world identically to a cis man and cannot be recognized as trans by others unless he discloses it, not have privilege over women - cis or otherwise? is systemic misogyny just not real to you. are you somehow misunderstanding what "stealth" means. this is such a confusing assertion.

Well you said it yourself - "navigates the world identically to a cis man". Trans men do not do this, and cannot do this, by nature of being trans. There is always some aspect which separates the experiences of trans men with cis men, even if the trans men themselves are stealth.

For example, a trans man who has had all of the surgeries and all of the hormones and all the legal document changes still

1. Had to live a life experience before all of that happened, and unless they never interacted with anyone ever, there runs the risk of people from their past outing them.

2. In that same vein, can never talk about their foundational experiences growing up unless they heavily bend the truth or lie (or unless they transitioned at, like, 3 months old??)

3. Still had to go through the surgeries, which is accessing a medical system, which may or may not have discriminated against them for being trans (rather than privileging them for being a man)

4. Some countries, like mine for example, keep a record of your name change on your birth certificate, so even if I had all the legal and physical changes, having to provide proof of citizenship would immediately out me. In a similar vein, to prevent fraud, many government organisations ask if you have ever been known by any other names. This outs people immediately.

5. Again, with medical care, you would need to provide a list of your medical history to your practitioner, which would out you

6. Most trans guys that pass are still on testosterone, they do not stop it. This is another area where trans men may be discriminated against - for example right now in the US they are trying really fucking hard to ban HRT. Some insurance companies won't approve of prescriptions because of the nature of the prescription. This is not a privilege

Not all trans men who are stealth have had all or any surgeries (like myself). This means:

1. I can still get pregnant and need care for that, which outs me, and opens me up to discrimination cis men would never face

2. I have to piss sitting down, because I can't afford an STP + packing underwear. I know this isn't a huge deal bc I know some cis men pee sitting too, but if you're in an area where people are constantly transvestigated or just a transphobic area, this may cause problems.

3. I can't wear certain shirts or tops because my binder will show. I can't go swimming. Tell me how that's a privilege lmao

4. When accessing medical care, I put myself at serious risk for transphobic treatment and harassment to the point where it might even be life ending - people may not do their proper duty because I am trans, and therefore something important may be missed that could risk my life

5. There is very little research about trans men's bodies and how things interact with testosterone HRT and other such things. For example, the symptoms of a heart attack look different for cis women and cis men. What do they look like for trans men 8 years on HRT? Do you know? No, seriously, do you know? I need to know this. I have a history of heart failure in my family.

Like I won't deny that stealth trans men can recieve social benefits/privileges when people misread them as cis men. I should know, I pass pretty fucking well all things considered. It's really weird when people talk to me when a woman I'm with has asked a question. However that is not the same as real systemic privileges, because at almost every turn interacting with systems throughout our lives, we will be outed or open to discrimination.

On top of that, even though I am stealth, as soon as people find out I'm trans, that privilege disappears immediately.

I don't think it's a privelige to also never be able to talk about my childhood or my experiences as a trans person. I don't think it's a privelige to have to hide a part of myself and my identity for safety.

To put this another way, do you think bisexual people have straight privelige because they can date someone of a different gender and never talk about their queer identity? Or is that just being trapped into hiding who you are? Is that different for stealth trans men?

okay so I'm having a debate with my flatmates

are these all different things and if so what do you call them

yes

cardigan/sweater, hoodie, sweatshirt/pullover

Oh my god we need to bring back internet safety lessons in school because you should NOT be posting personal information and pictures of yourself as a "single teen" in a PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE GROUP!!! I do not care if their rules say "over 18 will be banned" you are making yourself a giant flashing target for predators!!!

This is how you get groomed, guys. I hate to be blunt, but getting groomed fucking sucks so I'd rather be blunt than have someone go through that. Don't go on "single teen" forums. Ever.

even if it wasn't intended that way this is basically a pedophile honeypot, Jesus

i walk a fine line between “i’m asexual and i hate how much the world revolves around sex” and “sex is way too stigmatized and people should be able to be more open about it if they want to”

I think these are two sides of the coin called "sex should not be such a big deal"

hi i think i'm going to vomit

Good news OOP! There's already a country where transmascs/men and nb people can't speak in public! It starts with an 'A' and ends with 'fghanistan'.

You fucking idiot. (Not you OP).

You ever see a post that just looks like someone swinging an incredibly high resolution bat at an impossibly busty hornet’s nest?

Everything written on “Female autism” is amazing like we just put 293638363836 trillion dollars into our study that concluded women are more often forced to abide by social rules and act palatable than men. Shocking stuff

has this been done yet

UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.

The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.

Weighing in to say:

YES, I SEE THIS ON MOBILE. HOWEVER I DO **NOT** THINK IT'S SHOWING THE ANON'S REAL IDENTITY.

The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info

I think the bug is the inbox INCORRECTLY attributing anons to neighboring, logged-in asks.

Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.

And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.

But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity

So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.

CONFIRMED THE BUG IS INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION.

Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat

The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!
