[dies and comes back as a cowboy] reintarnation??

@esvrld a tenants meeting that is occasionally overcome with chants of “piss” and a solemn “not gonna cum”

and on trans men specifically, it also feeds to the general refusal to treat trans masculinity as anything other than maybe a thought experiment. any reference to actual things that might occur to a man of trans experience is censured because they make it harder to ignore the fact that trans men exist and aren't just an obscure technical footnote. you don't want to think about cis men giving birth because you don't want to think about men giving birth, period

from this view — that there is some kind of a core transness that all trans people partake of and no cis person ever does — it follows that trans people and cis people can never occupy the same actual gender. it's presented as a matter of preventing cis intrusion into declared trans territory, but the effect is presenting cis genders as natural and trans genders artificial

i hopefully don't need to explain what's bad about (2) (what is it that tells you that the men and giving birth don't go together, that the juxtaposition can only ever be funny or obscene — something grotesque?). what's at stake in (1) is a radical othering of transness, where trans and cis masculinities are locked forever apart, not touching or overlapping, not the same field at all

i can puzzle out two ways in which someone might view lil nas x giving birth as transphobic:
(1) they think it's transphobic to imply a cis person might in any way share in something that properly 'belongs' to trans people; or
(2) the concept of men giving birth itself is taboo to them because they feel it undermines the maleness of trans men

the only people who want you to think there's an uncrossable wall between trans and cisgay experiences are transphobes (which category i'm subsuming truscum under). they are the ones whose agenda is to make gender into something untouchable and unnegotiatable

there has never been a firm border between sexual and gender variance ­— in fact, every non-normative sexual position entails a non-normative relationship to gender, and vice versa, because heteronormativity is a system that prescribes certain relationships to certain bodies & proscribes all others as obscene

i wish it was even a rare kind of brain worms that makes you think gender non-conformity or erosion of gender expectations is somehow transphobic

"kids these days are just going into school bathrooms and tearing them a part as a meme. What is wrong with today's youth."

Yeah, when I was in HS the upperclassmen did a 'prank' where they released chickens in the school. Hahaha. And then the next year one of my classmates stole a minivan, drove it through a wall and into the school swimming pool, lol. Good harmless fun back in those days. Nothing like the kids today. smh.

Know whats cool? Right to Repair.

tbh all the propaganda in the US about the DPRK is just a form of genocide denial of what the korean war really was. really feels like you have wool over your eyes until you see this.

“What could the mysterious “Croatoan” carved on the wall possibly mean,” scientists ask, ignoring the Croatoan people who practically lived next door, the artifacts found showing contemporary English artifacts commingled with arrowheads, pipes and tools, the grey eyed indigenous people in the area not two centuries later who read English, and first person accounts by people who looked for them immediately afterwards saying how relieved they were that they were safe with a local tribe
