    someone at work today came in ranting about trans people but my coworker thought she said ‘trams’ so apparently there was a whole conversation like ‘they’re so dangerous’ ‘well i think they’ve been pretty well safety tested! also they’re eco friendly’

    gf said ‘i would like to be a clam. i want to be reincarnated as a clam’ and i said ‘i’d still date you if you were a clam’ and gf replied ‘i don’t think i’d be concerned about such matters. i’d be a clam’ and made clam sounds

    ‘situationships’ seem to be 60% a guy behaving in ways that should be outlawed by the geneva conventions, and 40% a straight woman hearing a very clear ‘i am not emotionally available / do not want a relationship’ and replying ‘challenge accepted’

    i was just at airport security. i have a hitachi in my bag and asked if i could avoid taking it out. guy helpfully announced to the room that i needed my bag privately examined. then while i was waiting to get it checked i turned around and mads mikkelsen was standing next to me.

    i sympathise with how painful this reaction must feel, and i think it should just get a friendly stock response of ‘email the manager,’ but also if you have worked as a bookseller you will know why this question fills us with dread 😭

    book i am currently reading about feminism and men is claiming that incel ideology tells young men that 'There’s nothing wrong with you [...] There’s something wrong with women for not wanting you', and i would like to ask the author if they have read a single 'incel' resource

    personally As A Transmasc Who Can Probably Get Pregnant i don’t really need cis people to use ‘uterus carriers’ all the time. i need you to actually think about what it’s like to be a pregnant guy, and how violent every stage of that process would be, /even if i wanted the kid/

    recovering from an eating disorder and returning to social media means you will be driven insane for the rest of your life, because you will continually see the most blatant obvious ED behaviour being described as life hacks or white people quirks or new fascinating subcultures
