hehe :3

why are you not holding my hand?

it’s so weird, I feel like I’ll never pass, but other people seem convinced that I almost do or something, maybe it’s just friends being nice, but then people I didn’t know will act like i pass and gosh it’s confusing.

oh I keep on top of that

anybody outside the us want to adopt a cute trans girl? I’m partially housetrained already! and I only bite occasionally.

i dont recall commenting if drag was experiencing transphobia or not, only that you shouldnt be the one to decide if drag is.

anybody who wants to use a set of pronouns, no matter what they are, are able to, if you spend your entire life insisting that is how you want to be referred to, then that is in no way trolling, and i dont see that from drag like you are implying. nobody is interested in using force to make you comply with pronouns, you can choose not to, but i think you should just choose not to interact with people you cant have a conversation with without getting in a semantic argument about the english language.

And the choice of it as a pronoun is a hard sell to begin with. Neopronouns are pig dubious value, and a ton of people will point out that it makes it harder for trans people to be taken seriously against an already douche filled world.

trans people don’t need to change their pronouns because it makes cis people uncomfortable

What you’re experiencing isn’t transphobia, period. It’s the dissonance of choosing a random word as a pronoun and expecting people to know what you’re saying.

I don’t think you get to be the one who decides if drag is experiencing transphobia, drag should be the one to

an emotional rollercoaster for sure, I had an emotional breakthrough, I feel so much better daily, and I’m really motivated to improve myself. estrogen seems to have been a wonderful decision for me :)

her has been kicking my ass too, but at least I want to improve now.

that’s rough, I’m sorry that the universe seems to conspire against you, but you can’t always have bad things happen, eventually something good had to happen, and you seem about due for it.

you too?

I’m not looking at any of your recommendations so I have no idea if you would like this but I really enjoy twoodfrd, he makes videos about repairing guitars and other string instruments, very relaxing, soothing voice, and lots of fascinating info about guitars

sigh

oh dang i didnt know you could play infinity nikki yet, imma have to go check that out im super excited for that game

the first, bleach tybw is back for another season, so far they have made some pretty good changes from the source material everybody seems happy with

the second, ranma 1/2 the first anime i ever watched and in no way made me question my gender, no not one bit…

your either targeted by the system, or you benefit from it, my comments about the people who dont understand or care, are in the latter camp, the people who are targets of the system, i would argue, dont care about race, at least not in the way racists do, they care about being oppressed, and racism is the tool that is leveraged to do the oppressing.

at the end of the day, it doesnt matter what avenue of discrimination they use to oppress people, but it is highly valuable to understand their avenues of attack and tactics they use to trick people into believing bigoted rhetoric. thats why im here engaging in this conversation, not trying to deny the reality we live in.

it has been such a busy week, so much chaos, and not the good kind either. but two of my favorite shows are coming out weekly now so thats nice.

race was invented to justify slavery, our society is built on this notion, but it doesn’t have to be, we can create a society without race as we know it, but we aren’t, were continuing to engage with racism.

participating in institutionally racist system, that position racism as the norm, is indeed a very large problem that most people don’t know they are participating in yea

unfortunately that institutionally racist system is society, and most people don’t fully understand the consequences of their actions, and non participation in society isn’t the answer.

we can’t just flip a switch and end racism by just pretending it all went away, but I do believe that if we keep making progress then one day, we can move on and create a society that works for us all.

I’m sure it’s possible to be racist about it, but I think your actions are up to you. I don’t know you.

my point was you have to choose to engage in racism for it to be a thing, it doesn’t exist if we don’t let it, unlike gender.
