new rule

every time you think about a body part that you don't like (me for example, I don't like my facial hair) you must immediately think about a different part of your body that you do like.

for example if I'm feeling dysphoric about the stubble on my face, I must also think about how I like the curvature of my arms, or how I like the unique amber-green coloring of my eyes. it can be any compliment about your appearance that you can think of

I feel like one of the main things that makes dysphoria so rough is that there isn't any balance between criticism and compliment, and the more you think about parts of your body that you don't like, the more they become a focus in your head

sorry for the rambly post but I'm going to be trying this, and I hope it helps someone else who sees this post too

Went to block another TERF and saw a “ladies, here’s how to spot one of those sneaky stealth trans women on dating sites” post that very genuinely read like satire even though it clearly was not. One of the listed bullet points was (honest to god) “Men have longer bones than women, so check their femur length!” so I guess TERFs are really out here trying to examine people’s fucking bones like you can really tell how long someone’s femurs are through their god damn pants.

There was also a whole other section on identifying post-op vulvas (which, like…if you’ve already gotten to this point, clearly the bone length thing failed you) and one tip was like—I’m paraphrasing here—“If there’s hair near their anus they’re probably a man! Women sometimes have this too but their butthole hair is way more feminine so it’s easy to tell the difference :)” so I’m pretty convinced that whoever wrote it has never seen a naked woman in their life (cis or trans). Possibly they have never seen another human being before; it’s really unclear by the way they seem to think men and women follow the same phenotypical principles as the orcs in World of Warcraft. Like they deadass watched Pixar’s Brave and accepted the sex dimorphism of Merida’s parents as biological canon.

The other list items were like… ‘tall’, ‘has a lot of body hair’, ‘deep voice’, ‘small butt’ (?), so I guess I’m trans-woman-passing now despite being AFAB, which at least means I don’t need to worry about dating a TERF by accident.

You know what I usually like to call the assumption that women are naturally dainty and hairless? Misogyny and racism! If you have the barest ounce of material understanding it’s obvious that biological essentialism is antithetical to the goals of dismantling misogyny and achieving gender equality. But hey, don’t worry—TERFs are the real feminists here for sure! You can tell by how short their bones are.

you're getting distracted again. focus.

drink a cup of water, tie your hair up, pull on your comfiest clothes, get your desk clean and ready, print out past papers, set your notes out, turn your laptop on, turn off all distractions, take out your stationary, open your books, take a deep breath, and just start.

Hold the fuck on no way WW3 jokes are trending on Twitter when this is an extremely serious situation that’s threatening to destabilize an entire region. No way everyone’s gleefully looking at this as if it’s the grand show finale they’ve been waiting all along. There is no fucking way
