actually you know what that's exactly it i would rather someone add 5 parantheticals after every sentence than use tone indicators it's 1. accomplishing SO much more in terms of clarity 2. extremely funny to look at depending on how they're used

observe:

"is this real? /gen" — i thought /gen meant "general" for ages. i would not be able to understand this on first sight a few years ago and is thus ineffective

"is this real? (genuine question)" — i fully understand this without issue

"is this real? (genuine question) (can't tell) (very realistic) (looks real) (scary) (photoshop?)" — is not only incredibly clear it's also very funny to read all of these thoughts stapled together while also in their own parentheses. it's also the most useful because now i can actually address all parts of what they are asking me with as much specificity as BOTH of us need

parentheses my beloved (they are for bonus thoughts) (and questions) ( and sidetracks) (like a 2nd conversation on top of the first)

Begging some of you to lie more when faced with people who have power over you, who are creating barriers between you and things you need.

Something's wrong with your body, but your doctor won't take it seriously? Exaggerate your loss of function and the severity of the problem.

Gender therapist asks about dysphoria in childhood, when deciding whether to refer you for HRT, but you conformed strongly or experienced low/no dysphoria then? You tell them you played with trucks/dolls (whichever is NOT stereotypical for your agab), begged for clothing associated with your gender, and have always been dysphoric.

Job asks if you have reliable transportation to work, or an employer outright asks if you have a car, and you actually have to rely on the bus? You say yes! As long as you show up, it won't be a problem.

Landlord says no pets, and you can't find a home to move into that will take your cat? Say you don't have one, have a friend house your pet for move-in day, and collect your cat and make arrangements if the landlord is ever planning to stop by.

Lying is one of your strongest tools to protect yourself from authority figures making your life more difficult.

Lying to gatekeepers is good actually.

You don't owe truth to power.

i don’t think that men with masculinity so fragile they can confidently ask an entire chat full of people to not reference she/her pronouns for a full day are in any position to laugh at anybody.

anyway, “boy who is so sexist he’s afraid of pronouns” is a much funnier meme.

literally just “Women should cover up their bodies so men don’t get distracted or make bad decisions” with a trans coat of paint.

can you imagine the backlash there would be if trans girls said that trans men shouldn’t pack in queer spaces, because it could give us dysphoria? or that trans men shouldn’t have facial hair in queer spaces, because it could give us dysphoria? it is only ever women who are expected to change our presentation for the sake of men. just like in wider cisgender society, wow, who’d’ve thunk it?

can you imagine the backlash if a trans girl asked a queer discord server to not use he/him pronouns for the full day? can you imagine the vitriolic hatred that woman would face? wow, it’s almost like the double standards of the gender binary have implications on the trans community too 🤔

this can’t be real

He put them together at the kids table that doesn’t exist I’m fucking crying

its easy to make fun of this (and i think we should) but its also important to note the description of this new department that trump has given

[transcript: "together, these two wonderful americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies - essential to the 'save america' movement," trump wrote. "i look forward to elon and vivek making changes to the federal bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all americans."]

to be clear: trump is planning to create a new department whose purpose is literally to deregulate and defund government oversight. this will lead to corporations having greater freedom to fuck over consumers while making more money, and he is putting two billionaires in charge of it.

sure, maybe this is just a ploy to keep them quiet. giving them the illusion of power in exchange for backing him. but lets not forget all the regulations trump cut during his last term

which has directly led to the constant recalls of consumer goods and foodstuffs over the past several years. the recent e coli outbreak at mcdonalds? the boars head listeria recall? these are the products of deregulation. getting rid of laws and standards that protect consumers by making sure money hungry corporations dont cut corners.

the funny name is a smokescreen. keep your eye on these fuckers.
