sincere question: have you ever raised/ trained a puppy? it can be rewarding to teach another creature to act normal & not piss everywhere, but it gets old eventually

they'll always look at everything you say through a lens of "how does that benefit ME?" - Talking to them is a literal minefield.
yup, i’ve also run into this. guys who immediately start getting horny & pushy about random topics.
as a trans lesbian, this is completely true
oh hey it’s that weird account that keeps making !askchapo@hexbear.net post threads about declining birth rates, I’m sure this thread will be full of normal replies
seriously. we were robbed of having a chaotic genderflux enby Hemingway

brave comrade doggo
you should check out the rest of the article. Hemingway also had a trans daughter and regularly confided in her that they were “from the same tribe”. I’m pretty comfortable calling it as a trans person, but everyone is going to draw their own conclusion.
Brianna Wu is a transmedicalist and assimilationist. She’s extremely transphobic against enbies and anyone she views as a “tankie” unfortunately.
I mentioned this in my other comment, but there’s a metric ton of evidence that Ernest Hemingway was definitely some variety of transgender.
i come back from a lil internet break and see a bunch of filthy centrists and chuds absolutely shitting their pants over our basic existence.
this is too good. the conspiracy theories alone are just 
. we must continue federating with instances that also have good admins.

something to keep in mind if/when a marginalized comrade says something that upsets you

eg “not all men” weirdos
—-
Edit: to further clarify the example above since it set off some brainworms, this can be seen when people respond to discussions about patriarchy and the way it shapes toxic masculinity with defensive “not all men” statements.
When we discuss systems, we are aware that not everyone who has privilege within them internalizes it the same way.
Men are not somehow evil. Masculinity is not somehow evil. Feminism is about liberation of everyone from patriarchy. The issue is that you can wind up needing to “protect” or cater to very fragile expectations of individuals and that can sometimes wind up recentering discussion on purely men and their feelings about patriarchy.
That is an important aspect of the discussion, but it cannot be the only one. Given that one of the patriarchal behaviors that many men are taught is to talk over anyone who is not a man, space must be intentionally created for others.
Anyway, this would be better covered in a dedicated effort post on feminism and positive masculinity.
This is however a meme featuring Josie and the pussy cats with a comments section that proves the meme is accurate lol
