the trick is to never want

why am i the one who has to reach out when i want something. it's all so much work

Personal story:

I knew I wanted to be childfree (a “childless cat lady”) before I even realized I was queer or trans. There are some clear intersections between these experiences that aren’t often explored. I “came out” as not wanting children when I was in preschool. I could never see myself as a parent (with no judgment for those who do, of course!). The rhetoric used against me when I came out as queer and trans in elementary school was remarkably similar to that of not wanting children. They told me I’d “grow out of it” or would “regret it later,” especially because of my age. I was allegedly too young to know that information about myself. This “compulsory natalism” has followed me throughout my life.   The current moral panic about population collapse is part of the same paternalism over self-determination and the struggle for bodily autonomy. Whether it be Elon Musk’s racist fearmongering over “low birth rates” or JD Vance’s “childless cat ladies” comment, it’s no coincidence these figures are also campaigning against trans people.   Recently, these natalist groups are claiming we’re pressured to live childfree by our culture. I find it as ridiculous to claim that society pressured me into not having children as it is to claim it pressured me to be trans. Unequivocally false. Society glorifies parentage as the pinnacle and purpose of human experience, particularly for women. But I could not be happier with the sterilizing effects of hormones and surgery. I consider it an added benefit to transitioning that few people talk about.   We can - and should - be invested in society’s future regardless of whether we have kids. Neither parenthood nor its rejection is fundamentally individualistic (although both can be). We can care for one another no matter who we are. But the belief that parenthood is morally superior is a deeply reactionary and coercive idea that we need to flush out of our communities. We must respect one another for decisions about our own bodies. This childless cat lady wouldn’t have it any other way.

sometimes you see with sudden clarity that you are a transsexual doing drugs in her room alone on a thursday and comprehend the sheer extent to which your parents would be horrified by the course of your life and how funny that is and it does genuinely make it a little easier

if I can't be an AMAB cis woman then you can't be an AFAB trans woman sorry

i think the main character that differs transmisogyny from transphobia + misogyny, is the goal.

trans masculine individuals experience what we'll call "corrective misogyny", where they experience a derision of their chosen gender in an attempt to push them back into the class of [cis]woman this is transphobia + misogyny.

People I think confuse this with transmisogyny because it involves transphobia and misogyny, but transmisogyny is not "corrective". The point of transmisogyny is to push trans feminine individuals out of both the class of man and woman, into a gender underclass, a subaltern as some have called it. There is no premise of "rescuing" trans women. trans men are abused in attempt to bring them back into the protected underclass of women, while trans women are abused in an attempt at the opposite, the intent is explicitly to push us out of all protected classes.

early FFXIV quests: defending the locals from protection rackets, helping them with their chores, making yourself known as someone reliable who people can call upon. early Runescape quests: performing a mob hit. violating export restrictions. vandalizing a public park and murdering the groundskeeper when he tries to stop you.

Before everybody realized it was really dumb and didn't work, there was a short period of time where cavalry in full plate armor rode into battle with a carbine and a sword. Historians widely regard this era as "rad as hell" and describe the tactic as "totally fucking sick, like, holy shit, could you imagine?"
