I love transfem Parker because Peter Parker is already a very trans coded character

• secret identity
• working for someone that hates them
• destitute

RULES FOR DATING MY DAUGHTER:

1. my daughter cannot, through action or inaction, harm a human or allow a human to come to harm
2. a daughter at rest or in constant motion remains at rest or in constant motion unless acted upon by another force
3. daughters are never created or destroyed, only transformed
4. always treat every daughter as loaded, even if you know she isn't
5. you do not talk about my daughter

if you have no hope for humanity that sucks for you i guess. but i was buying melatonin at the corner store and the stranger behind me in line said everyone they knew had been having trouble sleeping recently and maybe it was the cold weather. and the cashier swore he was a chronic insomniac before he met his wife but he hadn’t tossed and turned in 10 years. and when i left we told each other to sleep well tonight. and that’s enough hope to sustain me for at least a few months.

“if you woke up tomorrow perfectly healthy and no longer chronically ill, what would you do?”

the grink was there. it didnt change anything but it still matters that the grink was there.

Male privilege is not just the privilege of people treating you nicely or not following you in the street. Even if we assume every trans man passes perfectly and no one knows they are trans they still don't have most of the privileges that a cis man has.

Trans men don't have the privilege of

Being able to travel to different countries

Being able to get daily healthcare

Not being assaulted in prision

Not being institutionalized in mental health facilities

Having clothes, car seats, ect designed for our bodies

Being able to play professional sports

Using the bathroom without worry

Showing people our baby photos

Being able to talk to extended family

Not being disowned

Getting trans specific health care (hysterectomys, top surgery, phallo/meta) easily or at all

Posting photos online and having people internet stalk us to find out our dead name and pre transition photos

Being able to buy binders

Being raped and forced to carry a pregnancy to term due to abortion bans and abusive partners

Getting and keeping full time employment

I would have had way more privilege as a cis (white) woman than I do now as a (white) trans man. Sure sometimes trans men have situational privileges the examples I experience the most is not getting catcalled (unless they clock me) or being taken more seriously in college classes then cis women (unless the prof clocks me) but in exchange for that I am at constant risk of being put into a fucking concentration camp and killed by the us government because we live in a fascist country and I'm a tr@#ny communist.

SCREAMING at this tweet and it's replies

Hey. Stop for a second. Take this moment to appreciate that you don't have to write a paper right now. No one is asking you to write a paper. You don't have to think about the paper or plan your time around the paper. You have the freedom to think about whatever you want. Everything is going to be okay. At least you don't have to write a paper right now

“Ghoulia has scoliosis” but what do y’all actually know. here are my headcanons that are so self indulgent

• she has combined scoliosis, she definitely has multiple curves
• her thoracic curve is above 50°, I would say maybe even closer to 60°
• she used to wear a brace, it was decorated with red and black detailing and probably had some cute skulls on it
• i know none of the girls wear backpacks despite them being in high school, but I know if Ghoulia wore a backpack she would only wear it on one specific shoulder because it would always fall off the other one because her shoulders are on an angle
• she also has a twisted spine so her ribcage is uneven as well
• she prefers to wear sports bras because they actually fit her body
• Cleo helps her pick out outfits that suit her depending on the day (what tops hide her curves if she’s feeling insecure, what tops hide her brace if she’s wearing it, what outfits would show off her scar if she had surgery, etc)
• if she wore a brace she would be like “hey Heath punch me!” and he would do it because he’s a fool and he would hurt his hand

Nigel Farage got milkshaked again, what a time to be alive

Hey so I'm gonna be very very honest here.

And this is going to make a lot of people very angry to hear.

But a lot of y'all on this website are truly deeply genuinely never going to be capable of any kind of real narrative analysis--and I don't mean 'being right all the time' I mean 'meaningfully engaging with the text in any way'--

Because you are, fundamentally, incapable of comprehending that writers usually do things on purpose.
