anytime i've mentioned this i get c/s women telling me "but my mom didn't teach me those things either!" and like that sucks, but you don't have the same exposed weak point that glows red when you miss these skill checks the way we do lol

@oncloud_e As a cis girl I still get called a boy and have been bullied by entire discord servers. Transphobia affects everyone. And no, I wasn't taught how to do makeup or how to shave or how to put in a tampon by my mom. 'idk girl I think it depends'

@oncloud_e I remember reading a reddit thread when a guy was astonished that girls could tie their hair into a ponytail w/ one hand (which I didn't know about + seemed SUPER hard) only for a chick to reply "you haven't been around women enough, have you?" Thanks for the gut punch, sis 😊

@oncloud_e Also these things were also taught to many cis women by their siblings, classmates or friends while growing up as a child/teen. Most Trans Women do not get to grow up as a girl & miss so many of these opportunities. Wish there was more grace given to us who transitioned older.

@oncloud_e This is why I try to step up and give mom-facts to new recruits to womanhood. Women's razors? Shit, don't waste money; get an old fashioned safety razor and shaving soap instead You'll have the smoothest legs known to science, even subatomic particles will slide off you.

@oncloud_e i feel this every time a c/s girl tells me that all girls go thru certain things. like yes but also my experience is so fundamentally different j by existing

No middleman means no markups. Add $0 delivery on your first order and 100s of deals, and staying on the couch starts to look financially responsible.

@oncloud_e Yes they do. Like obviously it's a different experience but not knowing how to do things women are "supposed" to know how to do genuinely has people devaluing their worth as a human being.

@oncloud_e Do you think it's affirming to know that the trans woman experience is the same as the ciis woman experience in many such cases? Like we all experience misogyny together, bullying for not being girly enough, feeling awful for not being taught this stuff, etc

@oncloud_e @LivvyDumm so many of these people simply don’t realize that a lot of teaching occurs subconsciously like ‘girl behavior is modeled, that’s still learning?? AND way to completely miss the point’ smh

@oncloud_e Who ever is most autistic should make a meta analysis of what the most important skill checks are and turn it into a Google doc. Only way to save everyone

@oncloud_e I really do feel like a Gradius boss sometimes. Gigantic glowing neon red weak point.

@oncloud_e Just cuz other women's moms didn't teach them doesn't mean that they NEVER learned. A sister, cousin, aunt, friends, youtube vids when young cuz wanting to fit in. It's not the same as trying to learn those things when you're already in your 20s or 30s or whenever. It's rough 💔

@oncloud_e also like all of your peers learning along side you and getting to discuss and learn with them? at least for makeup and fashion

@oncloud_e Sometimes a mom isn’t a birth giver, sometimes a mom is your friend who you watch makeup tutorials with in middle school. The concept still applies.

@oncloud_e Like what kind of stuff? I heard some girls carry extra pads in case a stranger needs it, so like that?

@oncloud_e @OrangeKittyDoll Fuck I messed up my makeup, if some adventurous fuck hits me with a boomerang it’s over

@oncloud_e as a cis woman who relates to this sentiment, i did not consider the insensitivity based on context. thanks for sharing this 🖤

@oncloud_e Why are y'all trying to distance yourselves from other women?

@oncloud_e you got a bigass eyeball exposed every time you do that, legend of zelda style

@oncloud_e Its kinda funny for me in that my father passed when I was in my teens, so I had to teach myself a fair bit of the "being a man" stuff, like shaving (which i started out for a long while doing without shaving cream). Parallels at different stages of life.

@oncloud_e If anything that makes their mom look worse

@oncloud_e It's so embarassing googling stuff like "how to take tight top off", I still do it the "manly" way

@oncloud_e Eyeliner | +7 Dexterity This armor has the effect of being gender affirming. (Applied inaccurately while being transgender exposes the user to hate crimes and other unwanted slurs.)

@oncloud_e Right it's like, your mom might not have taught you all of it, but for an overwhelming majority of us, our mom's taught us *none* of it

@oncloud_e Lool yeah, they also dont post porn all day and spread around their autogynephiliac fetish am I right dude? These women

@oncloud_e cloudy is a giant enemy crab

@oncloud_e @FalcoNat38 That mental image was... interesting.

@oncloud_e @serversidesarah People don’t really think about the things their parents taught them
