Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.
this tweet is new but it is actually a fundamental text for me
[Caption: tweet by user suspiriatenebre that says "i knew it would happen but it wasn't bc of chemistry or anything like that i just know how heterosexuals write shows."]
British cis guy here. Just to be clear, the UK transphobes haven't won, because I didn't wake up transphobic this morning and nor did any of my friends.
We're still with you. We'll figure this out. Hang in there.
technically we’re ALL, always LARPing, because the Self is only a construct,
I want a new character
Then make one.
Everyone talking about posts that changed their brain chemistry seem to be leaving out this classic, which probably propelled me into activism and more self confidence in a way that I cannot put into words.

hey americans there is a recall on testosterone gel because they found benzene in it! please check the lot numbers on your batches, benzene is really not something you want to be rubbing into your skin, also you might be eligible for compensation because this is just insane what the fuck
not only testosterone gel has been recalled - if you click on the link above, you’ll see that there are a lot of other medications affected, ranging from ibuprofen to thyroid medication to psych meds and a whole bunch in between. i’d say usamericans who use ANY medication should check this list just to be safe
Not usamerican nor transmasc myself, but this is real fuckin important.
since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"
some people think this is a shitpost so i want to clarify that i am dead fucking serious. make mage the official gender neutral honorific NOW. i want it on my passport. i want it on my bank account. i want doctors and judges to use it for me. i don't care if it sounds a little silly. people thought "missus" sounded crass at first. call me mg.
benefits of mg:
- easy to pronounce, even for children (though kids 4 & younger may pronounce it more like "mayd" or "maygh")
- ONE SYLLABLE!!! ("individual" is too goddamn LONG.) you have to be able to say it quickly and casually
- ends in a soft vowel sound, so it'll flow right into the next word ("ind" halts the whole sentence)
- fits neatly into the existing structure as a relative of master/mistress that can be abbreviated down to an m and one other letter
- distinct enough that it can't be mistaken for either gendered term (if you call me mix I'll kill you. it sounds like miss with extra steps)
- wizard.
drawbacks:
- there aren't any
- yes, i know about milligrams and magnesium. i don't give a shit. ms can also mean microsoft. who cares.
This is obviously a deeply vile & offensive take but I'm seeing a lot of responses to it which seem to be predicated on the notion that he's factually wrong about what autism is? When dealing with this kind of rhetoric you do need to bear in mind that there are some autistic people have very high support needs and it's not okay to be ableist towards them either.
Some autistic people will never hold a job or write a poem or go on a date or use a toilet unassisted and they still have rights 👍
So, strange source of gender euphoria...
I just had a minor breakdown over how everything in the world seems to be going downhill and I felt really powerless,
And then I realized,
This is how Cassandra must have felt! I chose my name well...
I promise if you ever start spouting prophecies of doom I will listen and act accordingly. Also, my messages are open if you ever want to talk/rant/spout said prophecies.
The humans had a word for it.
Primus, they had a whole damn acronym for it.
PTSD they called it. Post traumatic stress disorder.
