Hey cool, this would've killed me and will kill others

Like banning people with depression from transitioning is insane and s move specifically made to make sure we kill ourselves because gee golly i wonder why a pre transition trans person would have depression and what solution the entire medical community has for that condition

I'm sorry to say that today i have become anglo Considering how much "Twinkie" has become entrenched in the popular consciousness of American snacks i gotta say that was very underwhelming

It's so fun being a trans woman because if *any one of us* does something strange in public suddenly it's global news that we all have to answer for Like it's not even someone doing a crime, although that happens to. Just doing anything strange or uncommon at all. Oh you had a mental health episode in front of someones camera? Time for infamy. you dressed strangely? Time to become a meme

It's fucked up to hear shit like this when British India alone destroyed systems of government and infrastructre, destroyed sustainable agriculture and substistance farming and consequently caused the deaths of nearly a 70 million people in india alone

That just includes famines and doesn't even take into account the brutal violence and mass displacement of peoples to make way for raw material extraction that also caused thousands and thousands of deaths

So this got 160k views in a week, smashing all other records from previous videos. Thank you so much, but also, you're encouraging me to "take my time" and "not rush" my videos, which is clearly nonsensical

No but really, lesson learned for the 5th time. It's way better for me to take more than 4 weeks on a video if the end result becomes better.

Plus, i can afford to have sponsorships slightly less often.

Some trans people are so obsessed with "passing" that they can't even talk to a trans woman who, in their view, doesn't fit within the mold of what a trans woman should be without cringing.
And that's fucking unhealthy. Like, i get wanting to pass. Go for it. But once it begins to affect who you can even *look* at without feeling bad, that obsession is purely damaging. It's not driving you to self fulfillment, it's driving you to hate other trans people.

Getting called 'love' and 'darling' by airport security while trans, in the UK? Wild experience English honorifics are strange, I'll never get used to them

In the glorious peoples kingdom of Sweden they sell any alcohol over 4% in the government monopoly store.

State booze fucks

It's a way to regulate the prices better, make sure that they're not selling to people that maybe shouldn't have access as well as centralizing the options so there are hundreds of kinds of wine and liquor, and not just a small selection of popular stuffs

It's very popular

I'M AT THE ZOO AND LOSING MY MIND, HE ESCAPED! The cops (keepers) came and dropped him back

Apparently I was too well functioning a child to have adhd, despite my adult scores being like maxed out so now I got a folder telling me to use Google calendar lmao Sure, I have severe memory issues, structural cognitive issues and can't have a normal job and keep pushing things to the last minute so I'm always stressed but never get any work done but I'm sure the calendar is gonna help

Here's the video where I read out the entire short story

unfortunately Hirschfeld cut out the ending. Prude

Forgot about that time Magnus Hirchfeld talked to a patient about the forced feminization porn novel they wrote. Trans women never change

Brains aren't gendered in a very obvious way, stop using "my brain is female" to claim some biological reason for transness. You think you're doing a good service but you're just cementing gender into brains instead of chromosomes and they're both equally wrong. Gender is more complicated than "a body part is my gender"

For pride month, please stop rooting your gender identity with your flawed perceptions of what biology is because not only is it wrong, you're handing transphobes an easy argument against all trans people

Lmao I broke my arm the day before I shoot my next video. Anyway, enjoy my video featuring a cast

Can't be avoided I think, just got out of xray

https://twitter.com/Potatopolitics/status/1407943746453393411

Yep, broke. Don't need a cast but got my arm in a sling for the next 6 weeks lmao

Guess who went skating on rollerskates and instead fucked up her right arm? Haha anyway Hey Alexa, how can you tell if your arm is broken

Fucked up that Hitler leads the nazi party to popularity based on an anti-communist pledge, stamps out communists and other leftist groups, privatizes industries, raves about how much he hates communists and then 90 years later some nerd on twitter thinks they *were* communists I'm confident that McCarthyism was actually a communist plot. I'm sure of it, just listen to the one time McCarthy said he cared for an american worker?? SOUNDS PRETTY COMMIE TO ME

The British empire was an unambiguous evil entity from its start all the way to its end. This is common knowledge outside of British universities and outside of racist colonial believers.

By every metric the empire made the world it ruled worse. Extracting wealth from the world to pool in Britain using violence, slavery, concentration camps and genocide did not somehow make the victims of this into better citizens of the world. Instead it destroyed the cultural and living history of hundreds of millions.

I'm sorry but there's a big leap between "it's kinda nice that the environment is helped by this crisis. Some good news out of all this bad"

And

"ecofascism is good actually and all the poor people should die" I've seen a ton of people call folks ecofascists because they comment on that a river is clear. Not even saying that people are the problem or anything like that, literally just "hey, it's neat that the water is clearer now"

Trans women are so often placed upon pedestals and then hounded after for anything. this is about Contrapoints

Listen, I don't agree with Natalie about a lot of things when it comes to gender and sexuality. but. Some of the response I've seen recently have been flat out misogynistic. It's possible to deal with a phrasing or take you don't agree with, without actually being transphobic.

I've seen so many "This is why we don't trust trans women" takes. Like, come on

re: A vice article about straight men attracted to trans women, and some related discourse around that. This has *nothing* at all to do with any other YouTuber, this is specifically based on the discourse around the vice article. Don't fake drama.

Thread: There is a culture of shame among men who are attracted to trans women. There is fear of being seen as "gay" or "not as manly" or whatever if you were to date a trans woman.

There is also a lot of transphobia directed at trans women.

The case against Caster Semenya is a dangerous precedent. The only way she is allowed to keep competing in sport, due to her naturally high testosterone, would be negative doping.

This is absurd and has strangely also led to transphobic harassment towards Caster This is despite Caster not even being trans in the first place. She's a cis woman, by all accounts. But now, due to scaremongering about testosterone levels, a cis woman now has to undergo medications to artifically *lower* her *naturally* occuring testosterone levels to compete.
