heard porn bots might be following you guys again. sorry about that. but in some good news i have been gaining many new followers who are real stunningly beautiful women. welcome ladies :)
desperately need people to understand that society punishes transmascs for being femme and for being masc, for different expressions of the same reason: "the wrong people" claiming any aspect of manhood or masculinity is a threat to the concept of manhood as well as the gender binary.
they will not accept femme transmascs if they become more masc, and they will not accept masc transmascs if they become more femme, and if they tell you otherwise they're fucking lying & you need to start listening to other transmascs instead of bigots with ulterior motives.
I came across this article in the wall street journal and thought it might be helpful for some of my fellow spoonies
two very related articles
If you ever needed a reason to not wear makeup (or at LEAST cut back on it significantly) this is it.
Most of your shimmery makeups are made using Mica. Mica is often mined by young children the same way the original coal miners put kids in the tiny tunnels for coal.
These kids make pennies a day, if that, and are subject to dangerous conditions.
All for the glitter in our eyeshadows and highlighters.
most companies, even ones part of the ethical mica initiative, don’t know where their mica comes from and have no way of proving it for sure, because the bosses at these mines are known for using child labor on the side and then they tell their international clients like “yeah totally, only adults we paid fairly mined all this ;)” and then these big international companies can play dumb and be like “the mine bosses pinky promised us it’s all ethical!” when there is no way to prove it, no way of regulating it, and it’s been this specific recurring problem for years
additionally: mica that is mined can sometimes be contaminated with asbestos, while synthetic mica is made from plant cellulose. synthetic lab-made mica also has a more consistent texture and makes colors more vibrant than mined mica can.
so basically: synthetic mica is safer, purer, plant-based, a superior product, AND not mined by child slaves — the literal only downside is that it’s slightly more expensive for cheap ass companies who care more about profits than humans
This looks so wholesome but I’m lacking the context needed to identify why-
Jewish people don’t celebrate Christmas, to them it’s just another day. So they often would want to go out to eat, but a lot of restaurants here in the US close on Christmas. Chinese restaurants are usually open on Christmas though and they usually have a lot of kosher options, making them one of the prime eating out options. So we started going to Chinese restaurants on Christmas out of convenience and it evolved into a tradition :)

The flag on the left is the same as the one on the right, but with more contrast and saturation. End ID]-Alternative genderfluid flagI like the original genderfluid flag, but I wanted to make my own version that flows a little better. This isn't intended to be a replacement, just an alternative. My flag is heavily based on this one, so please keep theirs in mind too.I didn't intend for the colors to represent any specific genders. It's more supposed to represent fluidity from the top to the bottom.

detransisbeautifulRebloggedlycandrophileFollowit really rubs me the wrong way when people say things about how cis women should just date trans men because they see us as a safer alternative to cis men. because the thing is, cis women being with trans men instead of cis men doesn’t eliminate the unsafe power dynamic the way they often act like it does; the dynamic is just flipped.generally speaking, a trans man isn’t any safer in a relationship with a cis woman than that cis woman would be in a relationship with a cis man. it just feels like a safer dynamic if you’re the cis woman because suddenly you’ve become the one with the privilege, and if you’re not used to being the one with privilege in a relationship you might not even think to ask how safe the other person is. the reality is, the reason that relationship feels safer to you is the same reason it’s not safe for us — we’re safer for you because we don’t have the same privilege as a cis man, and we also don’t have the same privilege as you. when you date us because we’re safer, you’re dating us because we have less power. that’s not to say cis women should never date trans men, or that it’s bad to seek out trans men if you don’t feel safe in relationships with cis men. but you have to recognize the power dynamic you’re opting into — you have to realize that you’re not going into a relationship that’s safer overall, you’re just going into one that’s safer for you. you have to be prepared for the person you’re interested in to have all the same fears and reservations about you that you had about cis men. and most importantly, you have to actually put the work into being a safe person; you have to put effort into unlearning transphobia overall, especially into unlearning anti-transmasculinity, and you have to do it before you start seeking out trans men. i’m very familiar at this point in my life with how unsafe relationships with cis women can be for trans men, romantic or otherwise, and i know most other trans men have probably had similar experiences to mine. we know very well that you might not be safe; we need you to know that, and we need you to care enough about us to make yourself safe. us being “safer” for you isn’t just a nice benefit for you, it’s a direct result of the fact that we are oppressed and that you hold power over us. if you’re going to seek us out for your safety, know what that really means.

detransisbeautifulRebloggedsocialistexanFollowGuess who got their name and gender marker change done just in time for that to happen.They're literally making a list of us! I'm fucking scared. These kinds of lists don't get compiled for no reason, especially when they've spent the better part of a decade targeting us and it has only ramped up and gotten more severe.Maybe it's the fact that I grew up in a Jewish family surrounded by Holocaust survivors, but when I hear that a state is putting together lists of a group of people they're openly demonized, I start to get that "run the fuck away" senses going.
detransisbeautifulok I've recently learned of the #actualdetrans tag and I just want to make this post and saycis people and "detrans kink" people do NOT post in this tag. if you're not someone who considers themself an actual detransitioner do not post in the #actualdetrans or #actuallydetrans tags. I'm saying this as a detransitioner, we have so few places online and even less in person to communicate and share detransition stories and resources. please don't use the tag to post detrans kink stuff or terf stuff about how ruined detrans ppls bodies are and how we're such a tragedy. just let us post in it please, I promise your outsider opinions do not help. #detrans#detransition#detransitioner#trans#transgender#pro trans detrans#trans positive detrans#actualdetrans#actuallydetrans#actual detrans
detransisbeautifulRebloggedhusbandwife-deactivated20230108there are many reasons why detrans women are often radical feminists and refusing to listen to those experiences or opinions–barring actual transphobia–is harmful to all detrans people. if your experiences are only palatable if they come subdued and with apologies, then you aren’t actually accepted.detransisbeautifulthis is a good point actually, I think there's so many reasons I ended up detransitioning and I transitioned for a lot of the wrong reasons, but i often face issues w ppl actually listening to me without jumping at my throat and nitpicking.detransition is hard asf and we need to listen to detrans folks who are on that hard journey, and not demonize every form of radical feminism. #reblog

detransisbeautifulAnonymous asked:I feel like theres no place for me to discuss how sexism homophobia and trauma led to my transition without being jumped on by transphobes or trans people alike. do you have any idea how to process any idk 'sensitive' detrans topics that people hate hearing about?felt that- I know r/actual_detrans generally allows discussion of anything as long as you aren't specifically blaming trans people for your transition or implying everyone who transitions does it for the wrong reasons ig. I'm working on making my own discord server rn and it'll def be open to that kind of discussion, I also feel like aspects like bullying and dysmorphia led to my transition and eventual detransition, as well as the transmedicalist community's insistence on transition to validate your identity as a "real trans person" but yeah when I make my discord you're free to discuss it with me and other detransitioners in there :) #detrans#detransition#detransitioner#trans#transgender#pro trans detrans#trans positive detrans#actualdetrans#actuallydetrans
detransisbeautifulRebloggedplushselfFollowhere's my redesigned detrans flag! I wanted to show the intersection btwn detransition and transition, as well as a variety of ways detrans ppl may identify. detransisbeautifulhey yall this is my flag :) imma probably repost it on this blog but yaaaa
detransisbeautifulAnonymous asked:I saw your post about detrans trans people, and I was wondering if you could give an example of why someone might use that label? I’m curious as I’ve never heard the term! Thank u!! Happy holidays the way I see it, transition status is separate from gender identity. no one's gender identity becomes more valid when they transition, and you can detransition and still have the same gender identity. many trans ppl are forced to detrans bc of the social environment they're in, money problems, medical problems etc. some ppl transition and then realize it wasn't the right choice for them, but still identify as a gender other than their assigned gender at birth. nonbinary detrans ppl are incredibly common for me, I do identify mainly as my assigned gender at birth, but I sort of view my transition back and forth as sort of permanently making me trans. I have transitioned and am transitioning rn, even if it's a "detransition" it's still a transition, and I still identify at least somewhat as trans. hope this helps explain a bit, there's a lot of other reasons someone may be trans and detrans but I think a good thing to remember is that detrans is short for detransition, not detransgender. it doesn't say anything about someone's identity, just like transitioning doesn't either. thanks for the question and happy holidays to u as well :)#detrans#detransition#detransitioner#trans#transgender#ask

detransisbeautifulthe detrans tag on here is completely full of detrans kink and transphobia, it's so disheartening to see.

detransisbeautifulif you're a detrans woman who has had a masectomy, your body is not mutilated or ruined, and you are still just as much of a woman regardless. don't let the gcs make you believe your body is lesser or "mutilated" bc you've had a mastectomy. #detrans#detransition#detransitioner#trans#transgender#pro trans detrans#trans positive detrans#enby#nonbinary#terfs fuck off#lgbt#actualdetrans#actuallydetrans
detransisbeautifulRebloggedalexisapossiblepennameFollowJust saw a "detrans people are bad" take in my recommended, "based on my likes", and I just want to ask, what the fuck did I like to get this bullshit take? If the trans community was against people changing their minds about their gender identity, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TRANS PEOPLE. Like, what, you're allowed to change your mind on that once, but not twice?? What kind of bullshit is that??I just want to say, if you're detrans and cis, you are automatically cooler than every other cis person. You unlocked cis+ and have a way better understanding of your gender than your non cis+ peers. Like, at least you put some thought into it, rather than just being like, "huh, I guess I'm cis because society told me so". You thought it through, you explored your gender, and you did not just take it at face value. If you're detrans, I love you, you are cool and valid as fuck, and anyone who says otherwise can go fuck themselves 💜

detransisbeautifulReblogged itsheckinwesbabyypantsFollowHow Ponify ruined my lifePossibly the most horrifying thing that has ever happened to me occurred today. So I’m in a creative writing class at university right now and we had to print out twenty-five copies of our first, one page assignment to distribute to the class. I had to print mine at the computer lab as I don’t have a printer, but here are the three crucial facts that made this the worst mistake of my life.1. Sometimes, when you log into Google on Chrome, it activates all of your extensions, even ones you’ve deactivated.2. In high school, my friends and I got really into Ponify (a words replacing chrome extension) and switched the preferences so we could read political articles and have congress get into a “rousing snow ball fight” and the like.3. Ponify reverted to its original My Little Pony lingo when opened on a new computer’s chrome.So when I distributed my twenty-five copies of this I noticed the word “everypony”, my heart seized up and dropped into my stomach, and with my imminent death approaching, I began furiously correcting all twenty-five of them. My teacher, confusedly, agreed to let me correct them as I was too infuriated and ashamed to say my mistake aloud. I just realized, however, that the line “as she watched the binding fall away in her hand” was changed to “as she watched the binding fall away in her hoof”. And I just had to send this email:And basically I’m ready for death how was your day
detransisbeautifulReblogged transdovekaumnyakteFollowvery cool how the gender binary in the emerging trad terf synthesis is like, there are two genders, the one that does bad things and the one that bad things are done to. the only thing in the world is immorality and it flows from unexperiencing agents to unacting experiencers.kaumnyaktewhich naturally appeals to people who would like to be perceived as inherently lacking the capacity for immorality. for whatever reasonchicago-genizaanyway remember bell hooks’s very cogent critique of second-wave feminist organizing in ‘sisterhood: solidarity between women’ where she argues that by “bonding as ‘victims’, white women’s liberationists were not required to assume responsibility for confronting the complexity of their own experience … Identifying as ‘victims’, they could abdicate responsibility for their role in the maintenance and perpetuation of sexism, racism, and classism.” it’s not by accident that terf gender essentialism dovetails so much with other biological-determinist & essentialist assumptions including Extremely Racist Ones
detransisbeautifulReblogged transdovemercuryfountain-deactivated2024Does it terrify anyone else that we're seeing wave of 20th century homophobia and transphobia in a world of 21st century technology? Gay nightlife, activism, and pleasure all used to hinge on word of mouth or discrete messaging. Now we're more culturally out of the closet, and that's a wonderful thing, but the very social media that in part gave us this visibility has backfired horribly. Any school teacher with a rainbow flag on their desk, venue that hosts drag events, or therapist who works to keep trans youth alive can be the target of the next violent right wing mob. It's ridiculously easy to find someone's address online, and the platforms we use don't care about our safety and privacy. LGBT bars, nonprofits, and so on are dying, and they need to have a social media presence to survive in this culture and economy. But exposure is simultaneously so necessary and so dangerous.
