Loneliness, when experienced by women, is treated like a joke. The stereotypical image of the crazy cat lady, the spinster, the old maid, has been mocked for centuries. A warning to other women not to be too selective, too cautious, too discerning, too demanding, or else you'll end up like her. A laughing stock.
But when men are "lonely" (ie. when women become more aware as a class and won't engage with manchildren), suddenly it's an epidemic- a crisis requiring analysis by sociologists and psychologists and hundreds and hundreds of articles dissecting why these poor men are so lonely, as though their loneliness reaches some special depth unknown to women.
I yet again ask you gyns to try and use "tim" and "tif".
I see "trans man" and "trans woman" slipped into our collective vocabulary and was uncritically adopted. That's not good at all.
actually it is not “banning trans people from sports,” it is enforcing the well known fact that women’s sports are for women (female people).
tired of seeing this twisting of the truth in every headline. no one is “banned from sports.” be honest for once
it's crazy how a man can just type and post something like this and be LAUDED for it. you mean you lacked the basic human development of theory of mind until adulthood? SO proud of you for overcoming your terrible struggle
"you can't find me annoying or the conservatives win!" is an opinion a disturbing number of people have
The only thing holding me back from the edge these days is knowing the butch experience of adopting a trans identity is actually almost universal and not as isolating and soul crushing as it feels right now. Every day I wonder if the world will ever accept me as a woman again when I look and sound the way I do. Every day I’m recovering from the confusion and self hatred that prioritizing how others perceive my gender caused. When I think about the shitty reality of how much damage my trans identity did to my body and self image, I have to remind myself that I’m not alone. All around the world, there are other butches like me suffering silently. Some are quietly detransitioning, others are stuck with that trans identity, holding the regret at bay and pretending like its all ok. Acknowledging them and feeling compassion for them is what allows me to have compassion for myself. I have hope for myself because I have hope for all of us.
We all went through adolescence envying boys because of our crushes on straight girls, we all rejected patriarchal beauty standards, we all struggled with the rise of social media, and we all mistook puberty, mental illness, sexual trauma, and internalized lesbophobia for gender dysphoria. We walked the same path right into that doctors office asking for testosterone. Right now its hard to see this first wave of detransitioners speaking out get bullied. But I have hope that in 5 more years, this generation of young butch women will be bonding over the hair loss, the surgery regret, the deep voice, the body dysmorphia, the sexual dysfunction, and the isolation of being a medically masculinized female in today’s world. We wont care that we can’t go back in time anymore, because we’ll know we aren’t alone. The worries of our youth will be left behind, and together we’ll be able to close that chapter and go on living with purpose again.

has anyone else noticed the shocking amount of pro-pedophilia sentiment on this site recently. Because i have noticed it . and sometimes it's under the guise of supporting Everyone and not doing "puritan callout culture" or whatever but i've also seen people say, like, "you have to support weird freaks even the ones with unethical dangerous paraphilias" and act like you're the weird one if you go hey wait a minute. i think pedophilia is bad actually. Like has anyone else noticed this because i feel crazy rn
