btw if u don't wanna be a girl u can just not be a girl. if u don't wanna be a boy u can just not be a boy. likewise for being a woman or a man or any gender that has ever existed.

there's no test you need to pass or license u need to hold to trans your gender - you can just decide one day that u feel like doing something different. if ur waiting for permission, i'm giving u permission. go be happy.

For my transition, the idea "I would be happier living my life as a man" was far more helpful to my journey than the question "am I truly a man in my very soul" or whatever. It doesn't have to be that deep. Your body is yours. Do with it what you want. Be who you want to be. Less pressure on "who you were made to be" as if that is some kind of immutable force. If you think that way you'll never stop questioning yourself.

tumblr in 2020:

• posts on your dashboard are ranked by how much the ceo personally likes them
• a widget on everyone’s blogs that publically displays their top five search terms
• images disabled altogether
• they ban you if you have a custom theme
• app crashes at a speed imperceptible to the human eye
• you can buy little outfits for the “t” logo with real money

No actually... It isn't

Oh and that fucking crab day post sends shivers down my spine btw. I say this as someone who owns multiple pieces of tumblr merch — support them if you want, or don’t, I don’t care, but we are NOT turning a tech corporation into our poor little wet meow meow who deserves all our money uwu. We are NOT pressuring normal ass people into donating to resolve a company’s millions in debt as if it’s some important charitable cause.

you guys love mean lesbians until theyre mean or theyre lesbians

we need to go back to hating tumblr. no more hellsite (affectionate). don't even think of giving these clowns your money. if i see you with a checkmark next to your name i'm opening fire

*sound of gun cocking* they can be disabled

tumblr's current business model isn't profitable and never will be and no amount of scolding from staff blogs or tumblr ad-free pay piggies is gonna fix that. don't let yourself be guilted into buying merch, badges or ad-free. you're throwing your money into a bottomless pit while the techbro ghouls running this website laugh about you at their next board meeting while applauding the shmucks coming up with new ideas on how to twitter- or tiktokify the website

''but tumblr needs to make money!!!''

if tumblr really wants its regular user onboard with keeping the website afloat then we should at least demand that they do the bare minimum in keeping the site functional. and right now, they're not even doing that. every change they've made lately has made the website/app worse. i should give my money to tumblr so what—they can make a more intrusive version of tumblr live? remove the chronical dashboard? come up with an even more transphobic way of doing content moderation? yeah, no thanks

This is true I think, everyone just has very normal and even-minded thoughts and opinions about transfeminine sexuality

"if there's one thing i know about being a trans woman it's that absolutely nobody gets weird or judgy at us for expressing sexual desire"
