reverse gatekeeping. I am on my knees begging people to engage with the source material
you read stuff on wattpad for shit and giggles where most of the fics there are reader-inserted ones written in 1st person pov where y/n is a barely legal white girl with blonde hair and blue “orbs” who’s so smol and fragile that she’s dependent entirely on this morally questionable guy who’s killing people for a living but for some reason happens to have a soft spot for her.
you read real actual literature on archive of our own where it’s two middle aged men, who are each other’s sworn enemies, with tragic past, trauma and strong homoerotic tension. and while they’ve made each other bleed, killed each other’s friends and loved ones out of jealousy / possessiveness, lied and betrayed and manipulated, the rawness, depth, complexity and slow burn will keep you up all night, haunt you during your day and possibly change your life forever. and also the sex isn’t just smut. the sex is poetry that puts Shakespeare to shame

The definition of a woman is an adult human female, right? Is that transphobic?
No offense to you, I just want to see if the trans movement can actually define the term woman since I haven't been able to and I think your blog could help. I'm new to this and I'm pretty curious. Again, absolutely no offense meant and I'm sorry if you take any.
When I was a kid, I thought that nobody actually wanted to be a girl. That it's just one of those unfortunate fates you get handed, like being born with no eyes or no legs or something. That it's something miserable, that's supposed to be miserable, and everyone else is just better at sucking up and enduring it than I am. That it's supposed to hurt and you're supposed to act like it doesn't, and that's just what everyone does.
Being born in mid-90s, I was vaguely aware that trans women exist, but I was like 13 when I discovered that it goes the other way around too. Like you can transition female-to-male. And my first thought was "how hasn't everyone done this?" I thought it had to be some very well-guarded secret, because otherwise how else would they stop every woman from flocking to these things. My first initial thought was that if women knew there was an option to just stop being women, the world would run out of women.
I don't understand why anyone would want to be a woman, but it gradually came to my understanding that some women do. They actually enjoy that. So, as far as I'm concerned, the definition of "woman" is anyone who wants to be one. I don't understand why anyone does, but it's not off my plate if someone does.
The definition of a woman is a person who wants to be a woman. That is none of my business for as long as they let me stray out of it.

I've never learned to meditate properly, but sometimes when things are frustrating for reasons beyond my control, I'll smoke a mental cigarette. Not menthol, but mental, but it can be menthol too if I want it to be special.
But anyway, when shit gets too much I can just sit down, calmly imagine the feeling of a firm but yielding cigarette filter between the mid- and forefingers of my left hand, feel how the texture of the smooth paper and spongy filter feel against my lips, draw a deep breath and remember the sensation of warm, heavy smoke filling my lungs, and then slowly blow it out, vividly feeling the greasy smell and taste of the smoke as it flows out of my mouth and my nostrils. And then take another drag if I need one, until I'm calm again and ready to go back to what I was doing.
The one cig can last exactly as long as I need it to, be done exactly when I'm done, costs me absolutely nothing and has no negative consequences to my health. I haven't smoked an actual cigarette for years now and don't have cravings of any sort, but every once in a while things just suck ass so bad that I need a fucking cigarette.
