Love and marriage does not have to look one specific way. Not everyone needs that piece of paper. When love arrives in your life, you grab hold of it with both hands.
@NowHereThis2
and I are excited to announce that we are husbands. We hope you'll share our joy❤️

Them: *sobbing, screaming* “WE CAN ALWAYS TELL!”
Then why is there so much anxiety about “traps”?
Them: “THE “T” IS MAKING YOU AGGRESSIVE!”
@ccredacted
My BPD friend is an absolute sweetheart.
But then, I never leave them in doubt of how much they mean to me.
That’s literally all they want: to matter. Very straightforward and easy to satisfy.🤷♂️
@JessPected
Since they don’t actually like women, they seem perfectly content to blame women as much for not being with them as for being with them too much.
@_nomadic_soul
What worked for me when I struggled with this was:
1) mentally rewording tweets that triggered my sense of being stereotyped.
2) realizing that the ultimate subtext was “women are to blame for choosing wrong”, which I wanted no part of.
@harryfrye420
Cool, you have no idea what you are talking about, you just combine words you hear randomly and hope it “pwns teh libz”.
I think it’s past your bedtime.
@AriDrennen
I am so angry, and my heart breaks for people who just want to be themselves!
As a cis man, I can say without hesitation that trans people enrich my life and the life of the world.
I am not afraid, and I despise the cowards that are.
@fungi_dirt
I’m a cis man, but I perversely enjoy “testosterone is poison”. It makes my body sound metal af.
I was forged by the searing poison coursing through my glands. Very badass.
@SNeurotypicals
ADHD: Expectation Perception Dysphoria.
Just today I realized that whether a schedule feels amazing or oppressive depends on whether it’s a tool of freedom from expectations being imposed on me or a tool of others to tell me how I’m falling short.
@adamfare1996
The “logic” of her position requires her to say that there is no such thing as an “adoptive parent” in the same tone of disgust she uses for trans people.
To me, trans people healing by revealing their truest selves is a beautiful thing to happen on the day celebrating the revelation of Jesus for the healing of the relationship between the creator and the created.
There’s no conflict here. Fascists just want there to be.
@gdmorejon
I’m 40 pages in. My favorite part so far is his call-out of Aristotle for being too biased by slavery to make average labor the common underlying element of equal exchange.
@dr_cosmo
I could answer that, if they had a mind to listen: black people can and do educate, but they shouldn’t have to drag every yahoo that comes along kicking and screaming from square 1. There is a reciprocal obligation to be motivated to learn.
@sensorystories_
The chief reason I have trouble with questions like these is that I worry that the other person won’t understand or will judge me. The answer has to be NT socially acceptable.
@ask_aubry
Implicitly relying on the violence of other men is not nice at all.
The full dignity of women and their participation in society is not something men are entitled to set conditions on.
“Not all men” is ultimately an attempt to blame women’s mistreatment on them choosing men poorly.
The truth is that the responsibility belongs to the men who treat women poorly to stop. That’s what needs to be said.

@Saraheboon
It can’t be said loud enough: Autism doesn’t make you inevitably hateful, racist, sexist, transphobic, etc.
It is not a perpetual moral license for those things.

@uranoutofluck
She can get an abortion if necessary.
Men who don’t like it when women get abortion can just not have sex that causes a pregnancy risk for people who don’t want to be pregnant.
@forestvanslyke
It seems to me that this could have been over a long time ago if you simply acknowledged that you did a racism, demonstrated real understanding of why it was a racism, and then didn’t do it again.
No melodrama, no grandstanding.
If borderline people want attention so badly…I dunno, give them some attention?🤷♂️
Pretty weird that someone would want to punish others for daring to have deep needs.

@PapaSmu69982356
Now you sound even more like a meathead blowhard trying desperately to hide his insecurity.
Seriously, when is one of you going to realize that the chest-thumping is clownish, not impressive?🙄
@VirtDan
@ShoopsNChicks
@uranoutofluck
@pinkheretic
You really hate it that women can have sex with the intent of rejecting pregnancy, huh?
If it’s really all about the reproduction for you, you want an egg donor and a surrogate, not a full partner.
@HunterAA6
In both cases, she is the party harmed. The slurs were against her. You’re treating this as a debate on equal ground, and accusing her of special pleading. But the ground is not even. Victims of oppression are not being given equal standing, that’s the whole problem.
@Autistic_Lia
I internalize so much that if anything I experience could be described as a meltdown, it’s probably not going to raise the volume at all.
@AutisticCallum_
I met my partner discussing mystical experiences on the old Yahoo Answers religion/spirituality forum. We’ve been together 13 years.
Our first date was an indy bookstore.
@_nomadic_soul
The sheer callousness of your misogynistic antagonists makes me angry.
This is about no higher goal than huffing their own farts, no matter who gets hurt.
@ChristianRenae4
@RevDaniel
I’m feel safe in saying that pastors like Rev. Dan help far more people meet Jesus than you do.
Nobody trusts you with your cynical, hateful right wing political agenda.
@TristanHaggard
@buckrebel
Coincidentally, that’s the same reaction non-believers give you, because you’d rather stroke your own ego than engage fairly.
@autist333
“Would you like me to concentrate on explaining why I didn’t do the thing, or would you like me to fix the problem? ‘Both’ isn’t a viable answer.”
Can allies also show their support for trans men too? Because I see a lot of you support trans women vocally (which is amazing by the way, I too support trans women) but there's nearly not enough vocal support for trans men. Please, please, please include us.
@AmberlynWhite
Catch 22s are the best, aren’t they? /s
Here’s another: if I tell people what I plan to do, I create expectations to disappoint. If I don’t, the prospect of being interrupted is a demotivator.
@buckrebel
@TristanHaggard
Anything is possible when you define words loosely enough.
This is how we got “I contend we are both atheists…”
It doesn’t gain theism an inch of ground to be like this.
@JessPected
What is a committed relationship for, except to grow old together!?
Love is not a capitalist transaction, but patriarchal men treat their relations with women like that.
@colorspctrum
The same weird attachment to suffering as a measure of authenticity shows up in TERFs talking about trans-women being invalid for having a male (privileged) childhood.
