@LauraRbnsn
kind of goes without saying that "hey do you want a baby to come out of you" is also a much bigger thing to ask than "do you want to acquire a baby"
@MistressSnowPhD
I watched this and instantly knew many people would have no sympathy because they already treat ordinary random women exactly like that
@feenagirl399
I recommend adding "crime pays but botany doesn't" for guys who are weird about masculinity so they can just see a masc dude be chill about plants for hours
@VoicesByZane
haha I also used to work at the Staples print center and we got shit like this all the time, I think we eventually made people sign a waiver saying something like "I know my print will be shit but I demand it"
@DrWallkick
something about her thinking that if she did so well as a woman she would do better as a man and then failing utterly must have triggered some gender angst
@badinfinity2
cis person types phalloplasty into google image search and assumes that every trans person who is already in the process of getting phalloplasty has in fact never done that
@judgementshae
I remember seeing an episode of Oprah when I was a kid where a cis guy claimed to have gained the ability to lactate purely by writing affirmations
@caranthirs
then they make a TV adaptation of the book that takes it 100% serious and they have to act like everything that's happening on the screen is a political commentary rather than a kink
@rosecoloredenby
We need more sober and all age queer spaces, but we *also* need more clubs and kink venues, which are in constant danger of being shut down!
@catboyquest
@transscribe
We had to say "I was born gay and it's impossible to change that" over and over because they wouldn't accept "I have an inherent right to be gay"
@KatyMontgomerie
one time I reached into the tp dispenser and it was just a roll of penises all coiled up in there, one of them bit me and I had to go to the ER
@thefemiurge
part of the reason 9/11 even happened iirc is that everyone else on the plane expected that a hijacking meant the hijackers were going to try to safely land the plane
@ToadBrews
@poppy_haze
when I was a kid my parents told me a bunch of neighbor kids or their parents had come to the house and complained because they'd seen me and my sister playing on the sidewalk in front of their house (my parents made fun of them for doing this)
If there's a new transition timeline meme it ought to be a pic of you before hrt vs 2 years vs like 10-15 years because we've still got people who think the changes are going to max out at 2 years
@epistemophagy
ah no wonder I've seen transphobes start claiming that hrt makes trans people have "no theory of mind" while decoupling that concept from the idea of "trans people are autistic but I mean both of those things in the way a psychologist from 1965 would mean then" entirely
@LordAslanThe2nd
"Jesus would have hated you"
"No, jesus would have loved me"
"Cool, do you want to join my church, the one that's working with the government to eradicate you from public life"
"No"
"Hypocrite!"
@scribecheck
@mightbeautistic
I recall someone claiming that this is true because pain and discomfort are the same thing and building up a high pain tolerance is a response to having discomfort constantly dismissed
@sharknibbles
the sex shop in the neighborhood I used to work at was right next door to the pet shop and they both displayed the collars and leashes in the same spot in the front window
@BryantLangmuir
20 years ago the controversy around Harry Potter was that evangelicals were burning the books because they thought they taught real witchcraft and they became a liberal symbol because of it- Lisa Simpson would have been into that
@dazey_ghost
the only thing they could think of was to have her letting the US flag touch the ground and otherwise she just looks like a nice Dr Seuss character
@exhaustdata
we already know that the transphobia thing involves using the word "hermaphrodite" to describe a cartoon worm, an issue I assume jkr handles with the grace of a cartoon worm
@hkatewilliams
It's hard to tell whether she can't cook or if she's intentionally doing everything weird for the aesthetic (to make it look simultaneously laborious and complicated but also requiring no physical effort and no mess)
@OgLakyn
a lot of people seem to think rides have height requirements are there so a little kid who isn't mature enough won't get scared and that they unfairly use height to measure this, when they could really fall out and die
@toomuchistrue
I recall the character being vaguely depressed and private about his personal life so he had a reason for killing himself but his coworkers don't get to know what that is and aren't people he would have told
@CartoonsHateHer
I've suspected that these two groups of people are often the same and the latter get assumed to be the former because when their coworkers ask them what they did on the weekend they say "nothing"
@SweatieAngle
This is the kind of art that is sold on the street to tourists. Anyone who buys a large original painting as a souvenir is appreciated, the artist pays rent this month, but it is not very interesting as far as art goes
@epistemophagy
I think a major reason for the popularity of Harry Potter was that people read it, saw massive holes in the worldbuilding, and began to imagine how they'd fill them in
@leah_hat
in addition to all that someday your kid is going to be old enough to control their own internet presence and isn't going to want to find out when they get to high school that they're already the face of a meme about farts
@exhaustdata
the book apparently features a cartoonist/animator who gets murdered for making transphobic, racist, and ableist (likely supposed to be bullshit claims but I suspect they actually are all those things) cartoons. I want to know how these cartoons are described in the book
@oxalisnebula
I am seeing more and more forms that ask for "sex at birth" and often not even a separate field for gender, and it should be understood that this this is not trans acceptance, it is surveillance
@zuza_real
Disney intentionally made him have less of a personality over time because he's more functional as a mascot if nobody really has strong feelings about him
@CRYPTIDKILL
and if you sell off your phone, car, etc to pay for food or rent, you get enough to live on for like a couple weeks or months and then you can't get a job because you sold the tools you need to do that
@ErinInTheMorn
"statistically, all trans youth detransition"
"where are you getting the numbers on that?"
"well you see it will be true when we force them to"
@VeryBadLlama
same, but admittedly a lot of my family's recipes are "follow the directions on the back of the can" and I serve this shit to people and they're absolutely floored by how good it is
@ronnui_
there was a kid in one of my classes who was taller than the other kids and he maybe hit puberty way early and he told everybody he fought in Vietnam and it seemed plausible
@manicsquirrel
I came out in the early 00s and one of the challenges at the time was that most of the openly trans people we had access to as trans youth were over twice our age and transitioned in the 60s and 70s
@KatyMontgomerie
There's an article that came out a few years ago about a cis man who had a phalloplasty after losing his penis, in which he describes the new penis as superior to the one he was born with. And yet transmasc bottom surgery keeps getting described like this.
@ErinInTheMorn
as everybody knows, if you survive a suicide attempt, it means you're not suicidal anymore and happy forever and not traumatized by the conditions that led you to want to die
@gay_goths
we spent decades trying to give them the simplest explanation possible because if we talked for more than five seconds they'd start yelling, and it's hard to come back from that
@Whitehorse1255
@aprilajoyr
@IdlemanShane
so how is it that non-christians are perfectly capable of looking at porn and also having self-control regarding their real life sexual behavior, but Christian men apparently can not?
@Transsomething
I've seen other teachers doing the exact same thing. Iirc one insisted on calling this kid Chris "Christopher" when Chris was just a nickname he used because he was embarrassed that his legal name was Omar.
@magicnanners
@AliceAvizandum
not just that but the origin of a massive community devoted to stalking and harassment that went from targeting a single victim to going after potentially anyone

if your ten year old's private conversation with the doctor leads to them getting morphine, your child is so afraid of you they were about to die of appendicitis
@ExhaustedIsaac
@LilySimpson1312
when finding out I didn't have a penis a cis gay man once began asking questions about how I got it removed, another asked if I was wearing a chastity cage
@laurenancona
I think the whole point of loop is that they make wearing earplugs seem fashionable, like the way stylish modern frames vs chunky 80s frames change the perception of a person who wears glasses
@seananmcguire
the farther my body has been from what's considered acceptable, in terms of weight, gender presentation, etc, the more I've been treated like I'm not only unaware of my own appearance but generally incapable of having thoughts
@speedfetishist
I'm gonna be charitable and assume it was supposed to mean "you shouldn't fundamentally change who you are to please your partner" vs "you shouldn't do any work at all to make the relationship work"
@XarifIno
people try to play off trans men's dysphoria as "regular male insecurity" constantly. like, don't like being misgendered? get ready for someone to tell you "men don't like being called women because they think it's bad to be a woman, you should consider it an honor"
@Ranting_Trans
Hermione's gonna periodically turn and look into the camera and say shit like "even though I have the stereotypically male trait BASIC LITERACY, I'm a girl! If anybody tried to make me stop being a girl I'd call the police!"
@Maladroithe
to be fair I think cooking food at home but it all comes out terrible and your family thinks it's good because everything comes out of a can even in restaurants fits into the 50s housewife aesthetic
@FionaSnp
@kittynouveau
i immediately thought of the tall kid in my second or third grade class who told everyone he fought in Vietnam, which seemed plausible to kids who had little grasp of time or age
@DetransLady
"nonbinary person who medically transitioned in ways they regret" is in fact an extremely old school kind of trans and anybody who has researched trans history should know this!
@X_Praxis
@Thiohna
you can change society so that their children will be financially cared for, safe, etc no matter what. some people still won't want them.

@ImpemboGanecue
they banned people from wearing biker style vests with patches (and by extension, punk/metal vests and jackets) from the parks because of this
