One of, perhaps the funniest conversations I’ve ever had:
Me: *explains double incision top surgery and why nipple grafts are necessary*
My dear friend, a cis woman: So do you get to choose whose nipples they are?
Me:
My friend:
Me:
Me: No honey, they’re my nipples. I do get to keep my nipples, they just borrow them for a minute.
My friend, absolutely delighted at this news: Oh! That’s good! I think it’d be a bit weird to have someone else’s nipples!

It’s posts like this that make me wish tumblr had a “well, shit” button to press because I “like” funny posts, relatable posts, inspirational posts. But this. I do not “like” this. I feel the need to express the personal discontent this post caused and my only option is “like”
I’ve never quite been threatened like “You are young. Life has been kind to you. You will learn.”
Time to go dig up another grave! You know, for science...
This. This is the level of sarcastic arrogance I strive to achieve; where even my weapons are snarky, contemptuous bitches
Shout out to all the ghosts who died naked or at ugly sweater parties or in that one outfit you wear when you haven’t done laundry in weeks and you’ve run out of options
But they were the coolest and you had to own a shit ton to set on your desk next to the eraser that actually worked or your life was meaningless
these dont erase ANYTHING
Just a quick reminder PSA for cis people: it’s not okay to ask trans people super invasive questions, and it is especially not okay to ask those super invasive questions in public.
To be clear, I am not telling you it’s wrong or bad to be curious and to want more information about some of the more intimate details related to transitioning.
What I am telling you is that you need to remember this is not an abstract concept to the trans person you are questioning. When you walk up and ask me what kind of surgeries I want, you are not asking about the abstract concept of gender affirmation surgeries. What you are asking is incredibly invasive questions about my genitals, and that is wildly uncomfortable and also unbelievably rude.
We live in the wonderful age of technology where you have access to an unimaginable amount of information at your fingertips! If you want to know something, google it! I guarantee there are resources online that will answer whatever questions you have.
And, I cannot say this loud enough, it is also never okay to ask any of these kinds of questions in public!!! Even if your trans friend has said they are open to answering your more invasive questions, when you are in public, talking about these topics can be dangerous and even deadly for the trans person.
Your curiosity is not worth more than our safety.
Stalling for time be like
This is honestly the best thing I’ve ever seen
Straight men hate the idea of gay men hitting on them because they’re afraid of being treated the same way they treat women
Good luck trying to find a gold bar in this dumpster fire of a blog
