@flyanew genuinely my b

@clockyGoddess cant believe you did this to us

monkey paw'd fr

@JennaFights4You @tinybird420 @sfsn2000 these ppl r explicitly NOT our community .. like they're literally our detractors

@tinybird420 @sfsn2000 Christ, do you ever stop talking shit? Stop harassing people in the community, we already have enough shit to deal with.

OMFG she HAS to be a psyop. She literally has "womyn-born-womyn" in her bio, a policy that would exclude her. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womyn-bor…

this is literally just "misandry hurts trans women too!" repackaged lol

i know we're just having fun here but there's literally not a version of this sentiment that isn't at least a little transmisogynistic

RT @northstardoll:

haven't seen it dry yet but my new hair looked rlyyy pretty after the rinse 😌

@PastCassandra Cís queer discourse is literally people gaslighting each other into thinking they are being treated like trans people

two sides of the same coin

am i going insane or is the pic that spawned Rib Remodeling Discourse 2: Electric Boogaloo not very obviously ai??

@TheNC64 @TrisGreat @PastCassandra u don't think there's a significant difference between a transsex woman and her non-medicalized counterpart? as for examples of where the distinction would be useful , legislation immediately comes to mind

@TrisGreat @PastCassandra It makes a difference but I don’t think it is a significant difference. Should we make our own organising groups? Should there be transsexual only nights at the non-existent gay bars? Its like grouping trans people by has brown hair vs other.

*looks inside* "transition is about changing the physical body, not the social relation"

@wulfhildaa @PastCassandra idrk tbh. always felt weird (and císsexist) to me that the default state of all transsex women is the one that ppl feel the need to slap an asterisk on so i haven't rly thought of the least offensive way to present said asterisk

@clockyGoddess @PastCassandra Is there a better term to use, or is the only alternative to say "trans women who don't want bottom surgery" every time?

stop calling women non op you fucking fetishizer

@wulfhildaa @PastCassandra i dislike "non-op" bc it frames The Surgery as default

@PastCassandra Is there a better term? I feel like a label for this demographic is useful in this conversation. I say this as to whom such a term would apply.

@NightPunks @LilithLovett

@LilithLovett not everything yall hate is a fucking psyop, get off 4chan and you might just stop thinking that everything is some fucking conspiracy lmao

Why is it so controversial to acknowledge the fact that a trans person who transitions faces different experience, struggles, and marginalizations compared to someone who doesn’t transition and has no desire to transition in the future? Is this all a giant psy-op?

@wulfhildaa @PastCassandra yeah like i do genuinely appreciate not being Treated Like a Man but transition (for me) has always been primarily abt changing my body

@PastCassandra I don’t know, I didn’t really care for the changed social relation too much. But changing my physical body was great!

Pinocchiomoder

@brinehav3n genuinely laughed out loud

i genuinely don't understand why so many of y'all bend over backwards to validate cís ppl's """trans""" identities but i'd like to

tried this and ended up in the most codependent relationship the world has ever seen

@ShimazuSystems blaming millennials instead of capital lol

I think after an irl discussion I've pretty much placed where the issue is with the 'walled garden' internet, & it comes down to what generation runs it. Now there are edge cases, and exceptions, to be had here - so it's hardly exhaustive or definitive. I find the worst generation for this are Millenials (I'm talking the actual generation definitions, not buzzwords). Millennial culture has some great spots, and whatever, but has sort of hit a critical mass where it's just endlessly recreating things that Gen X liked. One of these things? Forums. I am old enough to have used Forums, and even maintained one for a clan in a game when I was a wee-lil teenager, so I thought I would know how it all was supposed to work, oh was I naive. Forums work on one premise: you have limited users, and growth largely hurts engagement. So what did Millenials do when they started to come of age in the 2000s? They started making things. Reddit was one of these things, built by & for Millenials and younger Gen X users who felt disenfranchised with power users on image boards & forums, and the endless controversies. In other cases, it provided a space for non-work safe content that otherwise very specific boards wouldn't tolerate in off-topics & wouldn't rely on exposure to Tumblr (then still very relevant, arguably at it's peak) and ultimately would inherit a lot of users following that sites crackdown on such content. Now Gen X, they still maintain some very good forums, they never actually 'died' - they work exactly how they should, still, to this day. This stuff never went away, it was just never intended for mass social media dynamics. Reddit reports 1.2 billion active users (mau), who knows how many are bots, but if this is to be assumed as correct this is literally a thousand times larger than it ideally needs to be to ever maintain the correct dynamics. So what happens when you create a platform trying to be something that it's not, far out of spec, user numbers exceeding limits by orders of magnitude & employing power moderator capabilities designed to control a thousand people at most? You get Reddit. What happens when people, predominantly Gen Z, try to escape that failing concept? You get Discord.
