I May Be Childless, But People Tell Me All The Time That They Transitioned (at Least In Some Part) Because

You know, it's kinda funny how much of high fantasy centers around kings and nobility and courtly intrigue considering that the archetypal high fantasy, Lord of the Rings, had the rather explicit moral of "saving the world is up to this backwater hick and his gardener because no politician, least of all inherited nobility, would have the ability to see past their own ambition and throw away a weapon". Oh sure, Aragorn is a great king and all, but there's a reason he's over there running a distraction ring while the hobbits do the real work. Sauron loses because he gets distracted by kings and armies and great battles (i.e. typical high fantasy stuff) letting Frodo and Sam sneak through his back door and blow it all to hell.

Just saying, maybe old Jirt knew what he was saying when he said that the small folk doing their best and holding to each other was more powerful than a dozen alliances and superweapons and we should respect him for it.

*hikes up my pant leg and points to a jagged scar* you see that? heh...yeah...that's from a gnome bite. it got really badly infected because the gnome was in a sugar rush. scary stuff...but i made it out *flexes my bicep* Ladies,

You have to keep transitioning until you discover that you actually do love dancing and sex. Please.

Sometimes I think about what kind of wild beauty standards we would have come up with if human skin was transparent.

There’d be TikToks about the shape of people’s lungs and the girth of their ribs and shit like that.

a proposition has been submitted to build a satellite which can detect trans women from orbit and fire lasers at them. opponents of the plan are saying that it could incorrectly identify them as well and they don't want to be wrongly fried

I don't think anyone could have fully prepared me for how life changing it is to be interacting with people who genuinely see me as a woman. Not as a woman* or a feminine man or anything like that, just a girl.

The people I feel safest around are those who treat my existence as wonderfully unremarkable. I'm just a girl to them. A trans woman, not a transwoman type of deal.

Having experienced this really opened my eyes to just how much I had internalized that while I may be a woman, I'll never be woman. Which is some stuff that I still have to try hard to combat.

if they ignore your safeword, they are abusing you. if they punish you for safewording, they are abusing you. if they tell you you can't have a safeword, they are abusing you. you have the right to withdraw consent whenever you want, and face no repercussions for it, no matter what anyone else tries to sell you.

Re: Getting banned and how I’ll be moving forward

Tumblr staff, if you’re going to be this blatantly racist/transphobic stick to your decision.

do you guys think Karl Marx would've liked Thrift Shop by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis because it promotes waste reduction and the subversion of both capitalism generally and brand commodification¹ specifically through second hand buying or do you think he would not like it because it still promotes consumption as an activity especially of items one does not actually need.² or do you think he'd like it cause it's a banger³
