“Why should rich people pay more” because fuck ‘em
“So you are okay for paying more when you have money” I am not excluded from ‘fuck ‘em’ when relevant
realizing cis women also struggle with “passing” a lot of times and has a lot of the same issues with dysphoria trans women have (issues with putting on/losing weight, dissatisfied with bust size, not feeling “feminine” enough, etc.) has done a lot to combat dysphoria for me, cause it’s like, wow, we really have a lot more in common than we have in difference huh
people have invented so many different ways of rephrasing "don't transition" to sound plausibly progressive enough to bystanders that they'll think trans people are over-dramatic for reacting negatively to it.
medical transition is permanent so you should really consider it thoroughly and put off trying it unless you know for sure. yes, just keep second guessing yourself. 6 months, 3 years, 20 years...
you might not like how you look. other people might not like how you look. you might not look cis. don't you want to be desirable? do you want to risk feeling worse and more insecure? you look so good now! we think you're so hot right now, and you wouldn't want to change your body and make it not hot to us, right?
you are so valid if you don't transition. you don't need to transition. no one needs to transition. it's just cosmetic, it's just aesthetic, it's all optional and means nothing at all. (no, of course this is unrelated to arguments used for insurance not covering transition, or doctors denying care.)
why do you even want to transition? are you trying to look cis? are you trying to adhere to beauty standards? are you doing this to look hot? that's regressive and outdated and assimilationist. (if you want us to take your politics seriously, you shouldn't transition)
it's a waste of resources/privileged/bourgeois to transition. it's kind of morally suspect that you would transition and still ask for help ever in your life. why should we support someone who's transitioning if they're obviously not oppressed anyway.
DIY HRT is too dangerous. you could hurt your body. you could get arrested. your life will probably end if you take HRT. if you can't access HRT legally, you just shouldn't take it. not for transphobic reasons!! just for your own sake <3
like when will it end

Some TMA blinkies I've made so far! Credit is nice, but not necessary. Made in Pixel Studio! (150 x 20)
P.s, sorry for the low quality! I can't really help it. If anyone has any way to fix that, lmk!
Re-listening to the entirety of TMA right now and I refuse to listen to any new TMAGP episodes until I’m done and it’s starting to kill me. What do you mean Melanie and Georgie are back in the same episode?? What do you mean they mention Jon?? Are they back in the original TMA world? Is Melanie in TMAGPs world? Currently on episode 147 and I’m binge-listening my best to try to finish before they release this weeks episode cause I don’t know if I can keep this up 😭
My first proper TMAGP art and its on the day Season 2 airs hxbdbd
They make me physically ill I'm going insane
Alr so I’m not super into either, but RQ stands for rad queer which is like this group that believes all sexualities are valid and I’ve seen a lot argue for paraphiles being valid which is an issue, and TMA stands for Trans Misogyny Affected. I’m not a fan of TMA/TME(trans misogyny excluded) stuff because everyone is different, just because you present a certain way doesn’t mean you don’t experience trans misogyny and I think it creates a weird made up binary and is grossly misused.
The Magnus Archives fans are going through it rn:
*looks up TMA, the abbreviated version of The Magnus Archives* BOOM NEW DISCOURSE TERM NOW INSTEAD OF SEEING YOUR SILLY LITTLE BLORBOS YOU GET TO SEE DEBATES/HATEMAIL/ETC ON “WHO IS REALLY TRANS” AND OTHER COMMUNITY INFIGHTING!
*looks up rq, the abbreviated version of rusty quill* BOOM ANOTHER DISCOURSE TERM NOW INSTEAD OF FINDING INFO ON THE COMPANY YOU WANT TO MELANIE YOURSELF!
yeah
Quick sketch of my doomed boys maybe someday i will finish it
Part of the reason I'm so adamant about encouraging people to get comfortable with bugs, my own interests aside, is because we cannot have a bright, solarpunk future without them.
A green future is not a bugless future. It is, in fact, a fairly bugful future. If you care about ecological stability, then you need to start with bugs, because they're the most at risk with our current use of pesticides.
