"don't worry about how other people perceive you" okay but like how they treat me is frequently determined by how they perceive me and I would prefer people be niceys to me
Sometimes I absolutely hate being a trans man who hasn't started transitioning whatsoever, it's not like I'm in the closet or anything but sometimes it seems as such. I hate how I act and I hate how others act towards me. I was talking to a guy and he said "you're a girl who wants to be a guy right?" Along with "Do some dumb shi and I’ll show you what it’s like to be a guy" and I've heard of others experiencing the same shit but I never thought it would happen to me. I hate liking men and I hate liking women because I hate being viewed as a "lesbian" when I date a woman and being viewed as "straight" when I date a man. I hate who I am, Im not okay with this. I will never be able to love a man the way cis men do. I will never be with anyone I find desirable because they view me as a woman and there's nothing I can do to change that.
This is cringe but I had to say something bc I feel like I have to 🤯
Hey just a heads up if you're going to Minneapolis Pride this weekend, if you pass a booth with people asking you to watch a video and they'll pay you a dollar, don't do it. They're a group like PETA that's trying to trick you into watching a graphic video about animal slaughter. It's a ten minute video of animal gore that they're trying to play off as activism. If you are any type of sensitive to gore, don't watch the video.
This isn't any sort of criticism of vegans or vegetarians, this is just a friendly warning about groups that want to show you animals dying and covered in blood. Regardless of your opinions on animal welfare, that's not okay to show to people with no warning.
It's so weird watching the internet enter into this period of major anti-consumer changes which will almost certainly give birth to new alternative sites that will become the new juggernauts of the internet, or some new age of consumerist horror never before seem.
Between the Tumblr porn ban, reddit blackout, Twitter's implosion, TikTok threatening to be banned every other month, Netflix cutting off sharing, nothing seems stable anymore.
I'm just pack rat hoarding and copying down all the life-tips, artists names, resources, and shop names I love before it's parent site inevitably falls into the abyss
