What the hell is this

@whatthehellisthis-world

Tumblr is definitely one of the websites of all time. I go by any pronouns except for he/him (but I prefer it/they).

Mandatory intro post:

So I've been getting a lot of followers, and I thought now is the time to do an intro post.

Name is Morgan, finally chose that name after several months.

As you may have guessed from scrolling on my blog for about five seconds, I am non binary, and go by any pronouns except for he/him.

I am also autistic, and I don't have any other conditions that I am aware of (though I might also have ADHD).

I (unfortunately) live in TERF island (otherwise known as the UK).

I also am not revealing my AGAB, as I find that people make a lot of dismissive and/or incredibly negative opinions on someone based on their AGAB. Also I just do not feel comfortable revealing it.

I do not have a DNI list, as I think that those lists are masturbatory nonsense and do not help anything. If anything they paint a target on people's backs. Unless you're an asshole or any sort of "ist" or "phobic" you are welcome here.

I strongly oppose any ideology that puts people of a certain sex and/or gender on a pedestal and demonises other people that do not fit that sex and/or gender. This essentially means that radical feminism, incel stuff, TERFism, and others are very much against my viewpoints.

I am not a minor. However, those under 18 can interact with this blog, so long as they don't message me directly.

Opinions:

I strongly think that we as a society should stop thinking of AGAB as the "end all be all". We are thankfully making progress in this area, but a lot of people still think that someone's AGAB determines their current gender and/or personality.

Anyone who hates men, women or anyone that doesn't fit those labels (e.g. nonbinary, agender, bigender, agenderflux etc) and think they are fundamentally wired to behave a certain way is missing the point of gendered oppression.

Non binary is not "woman-lite" or "man-lite".

There is no "male autism" and there is no "female autism". Trying to make a distinction between the genders when it comes to autism will just needlessly divide autistic people.

Discourse on this website is 90% utter stupidity and 10% actual important stuff.

In the same vein as the AGAB stuff, we need to stop thinking of gender in a binary way. No, an AMAB trans person taking hormones is not automatically transfem and an AFAB trans person taking hormones is not automatically transmasc.

Trans neutral people, like me, exist.

Anyway, that's the end of this intro post.

If you are deliberately starting fires during a drought your community should legally be allowed to beat you

People should be allowed to beat the shit out of such assh+les and even giant companies like Coca-Cola, Boeing, Raytheon, OpenAI, Golf course developers etc who are destroying this planet for every living beings out there!

When it comes to major corporations we shouldn’t be beating them we should be destroying them completely

sometimes i see an out of context discourse post and im like "hm this really sounds like op is strawmanning a reasonable argument and making up a guy to be mad at." and then i check their blog for context and realise theyve spent the past 72 hours arguing with the human embodiments of the strawman. like damn nevermind im sorry for doubting you. you are fighting battles so cartoonishly evil i cant even fathom them as real. good luck out there.

Unnecessary and disastrous wars waged for evil reasons, ethnic cleanings exploding in open executions in broad daylight, legal impunity for mass political repression, and the Democrats are spending more time attacking the DSA and fucking Hasan Piker and this threat of “socialism” amongst their ranks than resisting any of that.

They’re collaborating with fascism on its anti communist crusade.

the year is 2035. the new beauty standard is for women to cut their ears off, as ears are a masculine trait which make the face look too big and hearing isnt necessary as it doesnt align with being demure. evil feminists say perhaps this is unnecessary and ears are natural. women are agressively proclaiming they are cutting their ears off due to sensory issues

Radfem arguments against ear-cutting center on the disgusting, childlike incompetence of deaf people. "Women are brainwashed into becoming subhuman deaf people!" they cry. "Obviously, people without ears are inferior, which is why deaf people shouldn't be allowed to vote or make their own medical decisions, and why anyone who has sex with a deaf person should be considered a pedophile, and that's why women shouldn't be allowed to cut off their ears!"

"Hang on," say disability advocates, "Whatever valid criticisms of elective ear-cutting you may have, that's not an acceptable way to talk about deaf people."

"You're obviously a shill for big ear-cutting, and probably a pedophile," say radfems.

One woman says, "I agree with you that women shouldn't have to cut off their ears. I cut mine off, not because I'm brainwashed, but because I needed a job. I didn't want to, but women with intact ears are regularly passed over for hiring and promotion, so I didn't have much of a choice."

"No, the only reason women do it is because they're brainwashed and mentally ill and have the minds of children," say radfems, "Obviously you're still brainwashed if you think otherwise."

"I'm literally trying to agree with you that this is a messed-up standard to impose on women. I just think it would be more useful to frame women who engage with it as rational agents responding to their material circumstances rather than brainwashed forever-children."

"It's so sad how brainwashed you are."

Found this on OP's profile

Completely unsurprising.

TERF makes one cogent point completely accidentally lol.

It's so weird to me that blocking has turned into such a serious thing only reserved for if someone did something wrong. I witnessed some discourse a few months ago around some content creator blocking someone and it blew up. They were harassed for "blocking someone for no reason". And I was like ??? cause there was a reason. They simply didn't want to see the blocked person's posts.

Blocking does not have to be some big gesture. I block people for being assholes but I'm also willing to block someone for giving a dumb take about my fav character. I've blocked people because I was tired of seeing their posts in a tag I'm browsing. I've blocked people who had opinions I agreed with but they were an ass about it. I've blocked people simply because I didn't like their personality or the vibe they gave off.

It's not that deep. You don't have to save blocking for "bad" people. If it brings you peace then do it. I promise you that you'll enjoy your internet experience much more if you block instead of engaging with the thing that's upsetting you.

Thinking about 13 Latvias again

I genuinely belive this is the funniest fucking thing we will ever get from reddit

I need you all to know that I think about 13 Latvias so much that now every time I meet someone from Latvia I have to resist the urge to ask "which one"

In the Latviaverse this is just a normal map

No, actually, we don’t have to redefine what transmedicalism means because you get upset that it’s accurately used to describe you. Transmedicalism isn’t just people who “want to give authority over trans identity to medical institutions”, it means people who think that you are required to have dysphoria and/or want to medically transition in order to be “fully trans” or even trans at all. That is ALWAYS what it has meant. “DIY advocates” aren’t transmedicalist across the board, but they also absolutely can and do hold transmedicalist worldviews and spread them openly, often in response to hesitation around medical transition from trans people who aren’t sure they want all the changes HRT brings and are weighing the pros and cons of doing so without professional supervision. Your disdain and disrespect towards the identity and opinions of non-HRT trans people makes you a transmedicalist, no matter how much you try to get away from the term.
