"i'm Using Delusional In The Right Context, It's Not Like It's That Serious"

like as a trans man i have repeatedly had more cis women be misandrist to me and then when i tell them they're doing such their reactions are always wildly on the opposite ends of the spectrum and neither are good

one is always "how can i be misandrist when you're not a man :(((" and the other is on the complete opposite end of "yeah well you deserve it because you're a MAN and MEN don't deserve my kindness" or whatever bullshit excuse they wanna make up and it's like.. so fucking annoying.

like. sure. there are a lot of oppressive men. but i can assure you, very greatly, that your trans man friend is not immediately one of them as soon as he comes out. and i can assure you that we are not "betraying our femininity" when over half of us DIDN'T FUCKING WANT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

and then there's the entire can of worms of people claiming misandry and androphobia aren't even real, not to MENTION how some people shit their britches in anger when you so much as MENTION transmisandry and transandrophobia.

like, genuinely, how do you even MANAGE to have friends with how rancid you must act on the daily with fuckass opinions like these.

DOG MOSAICS (From Italy and Greece ××)

im sorry rad fems sold you the lie that butches are only Non Threatening (TM) cis women with short hair who wear T-shirts and jeans with a carabiner, but the reality of the situation is a lot of butches are trans, genderqueer, physically imposing, big, male impersonators, hairy (especially including facial hair), sweaty, muscular, "ugly" and/or fat. some butches are into extreme body modification. some went bald. some are body builders. some are transfem butches who don't wanna overperform womanhood, take estrogen, or medically transition. some butches start testosterone strictly to feel more like a butch. some butches pass as cis men, and some need to do so in order to feel like their butch selves. soft butches are great, but that's not the "One Right Way" to be butch. the butches i'm attracted to would make a rad fem scream and cry and piss themselves on the floor.

A brief lesson on why relying on generative AI for sex ed is harmful:

Okay Google, what the fuck is this?

This is so concerning... The Google Gemini AI overview is clearly so confused by the existence of trans men.

I'm not sure if it's better or worse that Gemini isn't even trying to answer the same question, but rephrased.

The phrasing "some straight women may be looking for something they don't have" rubs me the wrong way. Also, separating queer women from women in general is upsetting.

I'm conflicted on whether or not we should help Google with training Gemini, but considering how many people rely on Google for information, I've come to the conclusion that--for now--it is worth it to always hit the "thumbs down" icon underneath the generations that turn up poorly and describe in detail what's wrong with the result. 👎

After all, when we tell people not to ask offensive questions to transgender people, the usual advice is "Go Google it!"

As distrustful as I am of Gemini's results, most people that I've met are more than willing to accept its responses at face value. At the very least, the average user seems to accept it for a quick and easy surface level response.

The HRC and PFLAG have much better resources on LGBTQIA+ identity and how to support your loved ones.

Dr. Strange and Adam Warlock, at the beginning of the match:

Strange: "No one chooses their birth name. But after that, you may call yourself what you like.

Warlock: "I like Adam Warlock. But maybe I'll start calling myself Sorcerer Supreme."

Dr. Strange says trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

Getting myself worked up about transandrophobia again so here's this for everyone.

I love you trans men and trans mascs, there are many who do.

Many other trans men, many other trans mascs, many trans women, many trans femmes, many trans neutral people, many multigender people, many cis women, many cis men, many xenogender people, many many people.

The world IS better with you in it. You DO deserve to live. You're RIGHT to find jokes about hurting or killing people like you to be harmful and transphobic. You DON'T have to self depreciate and white knight for trans femmes. You ARE a good person. You have immense value. Your masculinity is beautiful.

Stay alive, stick around, ignore the chronically online and hateful you are so much better than them.

I love you, the world loves you even though it doesn't seem like it, your gender is beautiful.

“i don’t respect therians/otherkin/etc because they’re mentally ill!” oh so. so you believe mentally ill people aren’t worthy of your respect. no that’s fine. that doesn’t speak volumes about you as a person don’t worry about it
