This gave me the mental image of cis male teens breaking up estrogen and snorting to try and get high

who among us
also fuckin hilarious, i am the evidence. its me!
Wait, you're not supposed to be doing that?
LOL, so I was raised in a Mormon home by a fuck of a father that thought I was too girly for asking to join my sisters for ballet lessons. He forced me to play all sorts of different sports, hunt, and other manly things like changing the oil on the car. He managed even to get my mom on his side and she hated him. They loved to show me the latest book they were reading to help them correct all of my bad behaviors. Use to wave them in front of me like my neurodivergent ass even understood what was going on. Its not strange that things have stayed the same since I was a kid in the 90s. Its just sad how they have to rehash the same stuff over and over again.
I felt the book thing. My mom was, and still kind of is, the stereotypical "autism mom" who had all the books, puzzle piece t-shirts, key rings, and all that jazz. Although, she was surprisingly supportive when I came out to her which I didn't expect considering how I was also raised in a very hyper conservative religious household, but I'll take any win I can get at this rate.
Glad you managed to pull a victory on that! My Mom and I are still on good terms amazingly enough. She still denies I am neurodivergent in any way, claims I am just a lazy human, and she was a perfect single mom raising her kids in the face of impossible odds. I sometimes feel like I dodge a bullet compared to what you had to deal with though. In the end tho my mom at least uses the right pronouns and name for me which is what keeps us on speaking terms.
Hey, another exmormon here
I can't imagine how tiring it would be in a relationship with a person that would "submit" to me. I'd like a partner not a project, please and thanks.
Right? I want to be with someone who wants and chooses to be with me. Do these people have no sense of romance in their soul?
reminder that the fascist model of gender is hell on earth for everyone involved and needs to be rooted out in its entirity
Can't wait to call it "the fascist model of gender" this year at Thanksgiving when it inevitably comes up.
Thanksgiving
I skip this torture by simply telling my family to go fuck themselves and going no contact
I fucking wish I could do that.
It's funny because my mother in law won't bring up her bigoted opinions on transfolk when I am around but will to my wife who is almost as far left as I am. She knows I will say something.
If the topic gets brought up this year I am gonna say "Hey, we aren't allowed to talk about trans rights when I am around." and see how that goes.
do manly things like hunt animals and mow the lawn
not American but, why mowing the lawn is a manly thing?.It's just pushing a machine with wheels.
At least in the case of my own father, lawn care is an activity that takes several hours to complete and can be strategically timed to ensure he never has to help out with any other indoor chores like laundry or cleaning - you know, "less manly" things
It has a history that goes back over a century, starting with a crude imitation of the old gentrified English idea of "you look rich and successful if you have carefully maintained grass instead of edible crops on your property" and it expanded into a mass produced obedience ritual (propagated on actual TV programs and "educational" propaganda before feature films in the 1950s-1960s) where every homeowner was expected to show their Protestant Work Ethic pride by maintaining an inch-high fuzzy rectangle of obedience in their front yard, sometimes while drenching it in chemicals to further strip it of an actual ecosystem.
Ultimately it's manly because it adheres to pretenses of manliness. In Burgerland, obedience is manly.

American lawn culture makes gardens that look awful. A country estate's garden is supposed to be a work of art. this is what it's supposed to look like
My local aristocrat would be embarresed if his sheep were seen on a garden that looks like this

That truly looks like death to me. Or Phoenix AZ.
not to praise this aristocrat you understand, the EU gives him all the rural support money because he owns all the land and he spends it all on his Hitler painting collection. Well gave he shall have to find some other way of paying for Hitler paintings now
which is a big part of why I think the EU's rural areas support didn't really work in Britain as it was designed for countries where more rural people actually own land
Love how we can't stop these people from pretending to be real medical professionals because of our f r e e d o m s but they can outlaw trans healthcare in half the country.
Everyone in America should just pretend to be a doctor and just start giving medical advice all the time until it undermines the healthcare system entirely.
GOP-Established alternative credentialing bureau that sells PhDs to transphobes
As a doctor the medical solution to fascism is a bat to the brain
This is just the logical extension of crisis pregnancy centers (fake abortion clinics ran by evangelicals)
That shit being tolerated by liberals too afraid of fighting fascism is how we got here
