It is inherently fun and sexy to say statements that swap the traditional genders of pronouns and terms mid-statement, such as: "I'm going to make him my wife" "She's my boyfriend" "Who says a guy can't be a pretty princess?" "That girl's the coolest dude I've ever met" "She's a madman who has to be stopped" "It's not his fault he's a material girl" Gender is a set of watercolors and the prettiest shades come from mixing the paints together.

The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.
Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”
Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”
The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.
Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”
Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.
Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.

also, sorry to keep rambling about transfems (my friend is having a hard time with dysphoria and it’s been on my mind) but I’ve seen posts about trans women being the recipients of male socialization bouncing around other sites and I think that’s a really disingenuous way of talking about it. if trans women want to have a conversation about the effects of being socialized BY men while perceived as male, that’s their conversation to have. but at least if it were me, I think I’d have a very different experience being socialized by men as a cis boy than as a girl who accidentally infiltrated the boy club and is in active danger if she’s ever found out. I think it would affect me a lot differently actually

casually omitting the fact that the men and straight people you are being asked to care about are trans because you know it will make you sound like an asshole if you outright say "i don't care about trans men or straight trans people"

trans men are allowed to paint their nails.
trans men are allowed to wear dresses or skirts, or any intrinsically feminine clothing.
trans men are allowed to wear makeup.
trans men are allowed to embrace their more "feminine side".
it does not make us any less of a man.

It’s fucking crazy when people go “um it’s actually bad to insist people use it/its on a person because it makes me feel uncomfortable to use them” MY BROTHER IN CHRIST THEY’RE NOT YOUR GODDAMN PRONOUNS!!!!!!

utterly losing my mind that literally right as i was putting up our display for banned books week coming up in september, my boss got a call saying that the county higher ups have declared that we’re prohibited from saying “banned books” in association with any library programs or materials. “freedom to read” is okay apparently, but the phase “banned books” is, well, banned. if i tried to publish this scenario in a novel, my editor would probably send it back with a note saying that the irony is a bit too on the nose & that i need to tone it down a little. we have censored the discussion of censorship. i cannot handle how hilarious this is
