I just like yellow, ok

Shout out to trans women who aren’t computer scientists or musicians or avant-garde artists or whatever.

Shout-out to tgirls who work at Taco Bell. Thank u queen, society would collapse without you

Over twenty years ago my big brother got me a job at a Taco Bell in the St. Louis suburbs-West County. He warned me that it was the “gay Taco Bell”, but since I was coming from the “gay Howard Johnson’s” I wasn’t shocked. It turns out it was the black trans women Taco Bell complete with black trans women in management. And they’d worked out an arrangement with the local teen Narcotics Anonymous group so that twice a week we would shut down the drive thru and the dining room and exclusively serve 60+ teens in various stages of recovery. And many of the women I worked with were in various stages of being out or transitioning and they were from all generations from teens to over 50. One woman I worked with had a regular corporate job presenting as a man 9-5 Mon-Fri and then came to Taco Bell and worked 6pm -2am Friday and Saturday night so she could be herself surrounded by other black transwomen in those stolen weekends. And we had customers come from all over the metro area because they knew they could be themselves in the dining room. I only worked there from 1999-2001 but for young me, this was a vital, formative experience. Some of the girls came from north city all the way out to the “gay Taco Bell” on Manchester in west county because they heard it was safe to work there. Like- I know times have changed but they haven’t changed much in 20 years. I’m still convinced that for lgbt youth, finding a job at your city’s version of the “gay Taco Bell” is key to survival.

Thank u for sharing this with us

Male tits and girl dicks are NORMAL they are 100% normal to me and not just in a sex way but also like, if you are ftm and wanna chill with your boobs out no bra/binder or are mtf and wanna chill in boxers or underwear with a bulge why the hell not? It’s just body parts ya know.

Why does it have to be inherently sexualized by people? If you DO find it sexy that’s ok but I’m referring to transphobes who treat trans peoples bodies as some kind of… “scary”thing

trans bodies are either fetishized or deemed disgusting and in neither of which do the people doing it recognize the trans person as a human being deserving of equal respect and i think thats the core problem. lack of respect

in a way its kind of a similar problem with fat bodies. theyre either fetishized/sexualized or treated as gross or unhealthy. post-op trans bodies are also treated as gross and unhealthy (trans mens' especially) by a lot of people. and post op/treatment trans womens bodies are fetishized a lot. just treat people normal pretty please

Why did "lmao" stick around but "rofl" die. Any theories on this

Dealing with auditory processing disorder

LAWFUL: take the parts you heard and turn it into a clarifying question, e. g. "you saw your cousin where?" or "she's writing a what?"

NEUTRAL: "what did you say?"

CHAOTIC: take a wild stab at what the person said, e. g. "you want to baptize a mackerel?"

This is frankly ridiculous as many fish species can change sex, as well as lizards, amphibians, trees, etc.

How can you be so damn bigoted you get mad at like, facts of base reality? At what point do you take a beat and wonder 'are we the bad guys?'

The thing that gets me is that their “adult human female” slogan specifically excludes non-human animals, so they don’t have to care that some fish change sex. And yet they literally can’t keep themselves from getting into a froth about it anyway

i told my mom about the “sorry about your bf” memes a week or so ago and she’s obsessed with them she loves your boyfriend so much she’s constantly putting him in crazy scenarios and absolutely loving it

she had a dream last night that she was a waitress and she was pouring water into a girl’s cup for her and saw a bug in it and was like “oh no i’m so sorry there’s a bug in your water” and the girl was like “oh no it’s fine that’s just my boyfriend” and then picked him up by the back of his shirt and pulled him out of the water and he was coughing and sputtering

she said the girl set him down on the table while my mom kept apologizing to her and she was just like “oh it’s fine it happens all the time he’ll dry off no worries”

Hey so we told my mom about your boyfriend. Yeah she's been putting him in scenarios and situations ever since. Yeah sorry she's not been this into something in years, sorry.

no bc she’s literally texting me abt your boyfriend from the church pew mid sermon she can’t get him off of her mind he’s like a little plaything to her

please watch this video of real ass complaints alex hirsch got for his work on gravity falls, it is comically bad

men love being tied to chairs and gagged it makes them feel masculine it's the same as working in an office

this is very funny bc i went to a class on gay cowboy bondage that discussed hypermasculinity in the practice and basically made this exact point but like, unironically

a class on what

reblog to put a weighted blanket on the person u reblog this from

Conservatives will be like “Why are you holding me accountable for my bigoted beliefs? Whatever happened to tolerance???”

The response to that is Tolerance Is Not a Moral Precept - it is a peace treaty. It is a contract of cooperation, or at least, of non-interference.

(Bold added)

Someone who’s actively trying to oppress, belittle, exclude, or harm people based on their identities is not complying with the contract, so there’s no reason to extend its protection to them.

This is why I dislike looking back on the past as if everything has been constantly improving to get us to where we are now

Our cement isn't as strong as the Romans, our steel isn't as strong as Damascus steel, we cannot replicate the beauty of a Stradivari violin, we've already lost some of the technology that flew Apollo and Gemini to space

And when I live out a suitcase I have to sift through a pile of stuff like a neanderthal
