I'm so serious once you start advocating for children to be banned from places like cafes and restaurants soon enough other marginalised groups are gonna get banned too (more outwardly that is). to me, your hatred for children is a litmus test for how much humanity you see in other marginalised people

yknow I really didn't think it was possible to make me angrier at JK Rowling but then I found out she wrote a book abt an autistic person being sucked into a cult (that's totally not an analogy for trans people what you talking abt) because they just can't possibly know what's good for them, they need their fathers to come and hire private investigators to get them out of a cult. And in the book autistic people are referred to by the r slur and called "a bit simple".
I didn't think it was possible for me to hate this paternalistic, honeyed head-patting, self-righteous, hate-driven HAG of a woman more than I did but fuck me here we are.

Youtube, I'd rather saw-style off my own leg than uninstall my adblock. You're not getting 14 fucking dollars a month to show no ads, are you kidding me

Hi! Sorry if this has been asked before, but I saw you said you have PCOS and are on T, can I ask about your experiences with the changes and what to expect? (I also have PCOS and want to start T soon! Its been funny reading about some of the early changes on T and being like...oh I've already had that for a while lol)
I’d love to rant about it! It depends on how high your T levels were before testosterone, really. They’ll take blood tests right before they prescribe you hrt. That way your dosage isn’t too high. Too high of a dose could cause blood issues and wacky shit, I was near the higher end of the range considered “normal” for cis women so I only need to take .25 mg each week.
A lot of the effects on T are stuff you probably already have. Hairy ass, acne, even weight distribution. Pcos folks are said to have an “apple” shaped body. That’s just testosterones weight redistribution working it’s magic!
Lots of stuff did change, though! My voice got deeper very quickly! From what I’ve seen, it takes months for other trans dudes voice to drop but mine dropped within 3 weeks. Facial hair grew in darker around that same time too. I’m already growing a shitty beard 7 weeks in! Essentially, from the looks of it, my transition timeline is gonna be a lot shorter than other trans dudes.
In a way, it’s like my body was waiting for that extra push of testosterone. Like Pcos was this puberty limbo. My cystic acne has decreased. My joint pain has all but disappeared. Brain fog is gone too! Now I can’t be sure if it’s my pcos being treated or my dysphoria, but either way, it’s improved my life tenfold!
I can’t guarantee all this will happen to you of course, so let me know how your experience differs once you start! Good luck on your transition homie! Stay safe and enjoy the ride!

another thing about lily orchard's vids that really kill their quality even outside of the batshit takes is that its soooooo clear she detests this job and only likes doing it for money. and like.... yknow, fair, you gotta make a living. not everyone loves their jobs and thats obvious. but a lot of people do video essays for the passion and engagement, to put their opinions out into the world and have a discussion.
when schaffrillas productions has a negative opinion, it's almost always in juxtaposition with a franchise or creator he wants better content from (or its for the bit) and its also entertaining bc hes not calling you a morally bad person for disagreeing with him. you dont get the sense that he resents the job, yknow?
watching lily in comparison is draining. she goes out of her way to make it look like her opinions are the Only Morally Correct Ones even when it doesnt matter and she speaks with such vitriol that you just feel bad watching her videos. she just comes across as exhausting

"greg heffley is a SOCIOPATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😱😱😱"
greg is just. a middle schooler. who is a shitty person, yes. but there's literally no need to throw ppl with personality disorders under the bus. you guys especially need to learn how to be normal around aspd and npd.

I have very mixed feelings about the way ppl use Kraken imagery in art of Ed but I don't think I'm capable of articulating my thoughts about it well. It's not every art that uses Kraken imagery, but some of it makes me very uncomfy.

Solangelo antis: Solangelo is a bad ship because it's ableist that Will wants to fix Nico who is heavily coded as autistic.
Solangelo antis when will is blunt and out of pocket without realizing, on edge in an unfamiliar situation, and struggling with black and white thinking about the underworld and healing: This is the worst person to ever exist.
