Idk I just have no patience for trans men/masculine people who refuse to acknowledge transmisogyny. Like. The worst experience I ever had with transphobia was when I was mistaken for a trans women. In a culinary program, I was cutting bell peppers, and one of the other students, a really big dude in a student leadership position, walks in and accusatory goes "so are you trying to be a woman, or something?" And I'm like. Well I'm trying to small dice these peppers. And I tell him I'm not a she and he says something to the effect of "Yeah I know that much." He makes some comment abt how whatever I'm doing doesn't make sense and he doesn't get it and when I tell him he doesn't have to, that he just has to respect it, he says "I don't have to do shit!" And gets real mad! Like actual threats mad! Tells me he could bash my skull in and to meet him outside for a fight and yeah it was fucking scary! The entire interaction I'm reminding myself that I'm the one currently holding a knife, if he tries anything.

Fast forward a few days later and my period is kicking my ass. Just absolutely destroying me. I'm in the dish pit, and I am visibly struggling, I'm nauseous, I'm in pain and bracing myself against walls. I'm not walking straight. And the same student leadership guy who was so aggressive with me when he thought I was transfem?

He tells me I look like I'm going to pass out. He says it's obvious I'm in pain, I shouldn't be in class, I can go sit down and if nobody can replace me he'll do the dishes himself.

Like. Do you get it yet. It's not just that he felt comfortable openly threatening me in a room full of other people when he thought I was a trans woman. It's that he did a complete 180 and was not only willing to support me, but actually pick up my slack once he knew I wasn't "that kind" of transgender. As soon as one of our classmates confirmed to him that I wasn't the wrong type of trans person I suddenly became someone who actually deserved care and compassion in his eyes. The "bigots think we're all the same and hate all of is equally" rhetoric isn't fucking true. It's just peddled to deny the privilege we have over other members of our community so it's easier to ignore how inhospitable supposedly trans-centric spaces are for TMA people.

@crimsaph I hope you don't mind me showing off your tags but yeah

This is an infuriating mindset a lot of fellow TME people have and it's just. So obviously glaringly selfish that it somehow loops back around into being difficult for me to articulate. Just how self absorbed do you have to be to get hit with a stray bullet and go "wow the entire firing squad is actually targeting ME!" it's maddening. Like I definitely didn't have my current knowledge regarding intercommunity issues and transness in general when that experience happened, but I remember thinking. "Wow. That was really fucked up and scary. What if he had been right? Would every day be like this if I actually was a trans woman?" As soon as somebody knows what I actually am, that scrutiny goes away. I do not have to lie about a core part of myself to get those people off my ass. Not everybody gets that reprieve. And then I see years of tme people trying to claim that transmisogyny hurts EVERYONE, actually, while steamrolling the actual targets. It's just like guys who only bring up men's mental health when a feminist gets too upset about something. None of these people would write an essay about how straight people are actively oppressed by homophobia because other straight people accuse them of being gay and that it's the gays who somehow wield fruit powers to oppress the straights, actually. Because that's fucking stupid. But apparently it's impossible to extend that type of common sense to trans women.

one of the deans in beijing dance academy rehearses with students

#he's so good damn#obvs he doesn't have the same athleticism as the students#but he's so much more in control of his body#he moves much more self assuredly#and doesn't exaggerate the way the more inexperienced ones do#he knows exactly what to do and how to do it naturally#wow

Oh so that's what books mean when they talk about seeing a swordperson or a martial artist move and immediately knowing you're fucked. If I saw someone handle a weapon or switch martial art stances that smoothly and with that economy of motion, I would immediately know I was going to die.

Oh, what a blast from the past! They're (and more importantly, he's) doing a type of Mongolian folk dance.

I recognize this track because my Chinese folk dance group used the same one when my teacher taught us a similar dance, ha ha. I haven't heard it in more than 15 years, but bam, there is is. We basically ripped the track from this master dance.

The dean here is Jiang Tiehong 姜铁红!

I think, I THINK here Jiang is at 3:00 in an older (1986 from the description) performance of this dance. In another video, somebody says that he and the four dancers immediately around him in white went on to become teachers at Minzu University of China, and I believe it, ha ha. He's also listed as a famous soloist for this dance and was a student of Minzu University of China, so I imagine he earned his solo then (and maybe this is one of those student performances!), and has been reprising it for fun anniversary performances and teaching moments like the one that went viral this year. I am cobbling this together without reading primary sources, so grain of salt.

(I have complicated feelings about "Chinese folk dance", the dance traditions of ethnic minority groups in China, and the Han-ification of them, but this performance objectively rocks. Also, the Minzu University of China is cooler than most because their education is focused on the ethnic minorities of China.)

Fuck them UP 👏👏👏

Goop and slime girls are so important!!!! Would gladly drown or dissolve in said goop/slime mixture.

Imo ideal substance for a slime girl would be some kind of non-newtonian fluid, that way ya get soft hugs but can still bang ya slime with sufficient impact resistance gf gotta have that sweet satisfaction of spanking that goopy ass!

I just go off the assumption they have the consistency of a jello cup

I mean if we are going with fantasy of slime girls why limit them to just one consistency and structure?! Maybe some have the consistency of Jello and some may have the consistency of wet concrete!

I like to think they can be more or less solid depending on how tightly their molecules are packed together.

Usually I go back and forth on if slime girls would be able to have conscious control their viscosity and solidity or hell even opacity or if it would be more of a impulse response to danger/emotional state that is not directly controllable?

How cute would it be to flirt with a slime girl and just have her literately fall apart/melt

taking away a clowngirl's makeup telling her she doesn't have to be a clown she can just be a normal silly billy and correcting her any time she tries to juggle until she gets sadder and sadder and eventually stops talking altogether and just communicating via gestures and realizing with horror you've created a mimegirl

you get it

yes, but also consider — this is ABA ‘therapy’

it's almost like the guy who invented aba also helped invent conversion therapy

i think there are astonishingly and disappointingly few people who can use their blood as a whip

what he means: my first girlfriend sacrificed herself for the good of her people, and she didn't think twice about it. i saw firsthand what it meant to truly protect those you love, and in that moment i also experienced what it meant to be loved enough to be protected. but i wasn't ready. i didn't have enough time to say goodbye. she was gone before she fell back to me, and i knew it even before i looked for a pulse that wasn't there. she was heavy, until she wasn't, because i saw death happen in a way i never thought it could when her body vanished from my arms. i now know what it feels like to kiss a spirit, and it's the last touch i have of her. she sacrificed herself because she believed it was her duty, an expectation she felt she needed to face, and it should never have happened. but she got dragged into a war that we brought to her home. there was nothing i could do to protect her from its devastation, and i blame myself for her death.

what he says: my first girlfriend turned into the moon

sometimes i see the way people on this site talk about "binary trans women" and think, damn, if i didnt know any better i'd say some of you see womanhood as inherently reductive, the desire to live and be seen as a woman as irrational, and women as ignorant people who need things explained to them! but youre such a knowledgable and wise radical genderfuck, so surely you know better than me :)

i need to learn history (as presented by a transmasc lesbian with connections to the historical terf movement)

The most obvious indicator that it’s just a way to repackage existing misogyny is that I’ve never seen someone say “binary trans men.” It just now has the added sleight of hand of tacking on a signifier of privilege to dismiss any feminism that makes them uncomfortable, the same way they try invoking whiteness against anyone espousing transfeminism (plenty of whom are, notably, not white!)

so i went to check the actual numbers to compare how popular these terms actually are and it turns out the "binary trans man" literally DOESN'T EXIST AT ALL. i wasn't expecting it to be so blatant but google can't even compare them because binary trans men apparently simply don't exist

Particular things that...

...I think would be funny (an incomplete list):

I got to marry my wife, and our pupper was our flower girl. 2.5 years ago this wasn’t possible, as it wasn’t legal in Australia. It rained our whole wedding day, but was so worth it in the end with our phenomenal photographer.

op this looks absolutely magical

I forgot homophobia was a thing and i spent about 5 seconds wondering why it was ever illegal to have a dog as a flower girl
