I wasn't going to post this rant but then i keep seeing the rhetoric of abortion as women's care and an attack on women yada yada yada. That language gives me such mindnumbing dysphoria and i can't be alone in this feeling so out the rant comes.

As someone on the masculine side of Trans-Non-Binary/Queer the overturning of Roe vs Wade has brought out another supernova bright issue... Exclusion of Trans/queer/etc in the majority and LGBTQ+ community in talks about abortion rights because “men” and “non-women” don’t ever need access...only women do. It is an attack on women is another phrase that makes me cringe. I certainly feel attacked and absolutely not a woman. Please check your behavior at the door and ensure your language is inclusive. Now is not the time to splinter the group of people who need access to abortions and reproductive rights, nor should the discourse consistently erase whole communities because they don't fit in the political terms used. OF course, trans and non-binary/queer/etc people are not going to be mentioned in the political discourse since a large majority of the anti-abortion crowd is at least anti-trans if not fulll blown anti-lgbtq+. Of course they are going to say women and pretend like we don't exist but the rest of us should challenge this glaring misrepresentation of need.

It is legit incredibly hard enough, for many, mentally, emotionally, and socially to seek out abortion and reproductive care as a NB/TRANS/AFAB/QUEER/masculine identifying/male identifying/agendered/multigendered... you get the point... because a large chunk of the world considers this “Women’s care”. The clinics often have the word women/woman plastered all over signage and documents instead of inclusive langauage. The Dysphoria related to needing to seek “women’s care” is crippling for many people, I struggle with it myself. Please don’t add to this suffering by accidently, or purposefully, excluding AFAB persons who don't identify as strictly women or don't identify as women at all from the discourse on needing abortions, contraceptives, uterine care, ovarian care, breast care, etc.

Here are some links to guide individuals through why inclusive language is important and how to be more inclusive in the discussions about abortion and contraception rights.

This article literally interviews someone in Healthcare that thinks that including trans in women's health discussions is just word play and it is unnecessary... in case someone wants to know what exclusionary people sound like in the topic.

Even if your love was unconditional

It still wouldn't be enough to save me

Inspired by this bit from Chris Fleming

i know its like, a sort of widely accepted funny thing or whatever, but i would urge people to try and be sensitive about the language they use when congratulating trans men/mascs on their top surgeries. just because some people are ok with gendered language for their chests doesnt mean everyone is, and for someone with really strong chest dysphoria who just underwent major surgery to alleviate it, it can feel like a real slap in the face to have random people leaving comments like congrats on the tiddy removal/teet yeet/breast banishment or whatever the fuck else insufferable joker shit people come up with.

topsurgery consultation is on the 3rd i really hope the surgeion doesnt rush me out htis time

dysphoria time 😎

Every now and again, I see people upset about others trying to find the joy in being trans, but like... why is it an issue?

I've been in pain since I was seven years old. I'm tired of it! Sadness is dull, take it from me. It chews you up and spits you out until you're unrecognizable, and that's what's expected of trans people - that we will be okay with being miserable, that it is a badge of honour that proves we're worthy enough to be recognized. I'm exestentially exhausted of it.

Yes, expressing pain is completely healthy. Yes, it is only natural if you feel sad because you're trans. But to expect and demand all of us to be in pain and sadness and suicidality in order to "prove" ourselves? What does that accomplish? How is this acceptance?

A post to piss off Guilty Gear “fans,” who have never played guilty gear.

These two are the same transgender man.

realizing that a surprising amount of my former willingness to tap into the Hornblower Hell Mindset is no longer something I experience due to the fact that I now have Antidepressants and experience the world in a Somewhat More Normal Way.

Albums that changed me

I’m feeling dysphoric so ummm

Your F/Os will always make sure that you know that they love you, they don’t care if you don’t feel that you’re more masculine or feminine or whatever. They care about you. They won’t have you any other way. If you want to do something that will make you feel more masculine or feminine they will support it if you’re doing it for yourself. They love you no matter what.

New song!!!! Off up coming solo album.

I heard it live last March. STUDIO VERSION here I come!!

My man benji hits the nail right on the head with this one

Lotta people wondering if there is correlation between "Haki can reverse DF status effects" and "Croc never used Haki" (-> "he can't use Haki lest it detranses him"), and while plausible

I do want to ask, do y'all think Haki could reverse what Shinobu did to Momonosuke? No, this is related I swear

Like my logic is that there's generally speaking two types of Devil Fruit abilities

there's ones that create "temporary status effects" onto others, either wearing off with time or if the user passes out/dies/undoes the ability (Foxy, Sugar, Bonney etc)

ones that change you permanently and won't become undone even if the user died (though some may still be reversible by the original user) (Hancock, Shinobu etc)

And as we know, Haki can reverse those temporary status effects, as we see Law do with the Sickness Doc Q inflicted on him and his crew, right

So the question is, while Haki can reverse the temporary changes, can it also break through those (mostly) irreversible changes? Do you think Momonosuke could reverse Shinobu's Ripening ability and deage himself if he mastered his Haki?

Because I feel like, if not, Crocodile could totally use Haki (if he can in the first place) without it undoing Iva-chan's HRT, because Iva-chan's HRT is supposed to be permanent, it doesn't wear off, the only way to reverse it is supposed to be by Iva-chan's own hands

But if Momonosuke could deage himself again by mastering his Haki, then I feel like Crocodile could indeed be in trouble
