Hey! My car just got a little mangled
Would anyone be interested in buying my book to help me pay for it? Or giving money in a variety of ways in this thread.
I need this car to keep learning to drive and eventually to get proper long term employment.

I should tap into the horror of being trans and out in highschool more often but i kinda repressed most of it so all I remember is the nice stuff like where my class mates made me a nice card wishing me luck getting on hormones/blockers.

someone threw a little tantrum about this in my mentions earlier and im still kind of annoyed at how entitled people are to demand i stop sincerely expressing my feelings about a political party that is explicitly collaborating with fascists because i will suppress voter turnout by not shutting up
if democrats think trans people's lives are worth sacrificing then i don't think they get to whine about losing their votes too

when I made this post it was like mostly jokey bit with every new episode I watch I look at mika and I'm just like “you are somehow an even sadder chirin”

you should watch ringing bell
okay so I made a joke to my friend about them being an adorable sheep girl and her horrifying wolf boyfriend

and now I am considering mikazuki as chirin from the 1978 classic "ringing bell"

I mean tell me the difference

Socialization theory has been so utterly mangled that people don't fundamentally understanding it's not Girl or Boy Programming, it's absorbing the dominant cultural values we grow up with.

If you grow up in a patriarchal society, you are socialized patriarchal.
My spicy socialization take is that we mostly use the phrase "female socialization" to refer to raising someone to be a people-pleaser so they don't get hit, and as people constantly at risk of getting hit, trans femmes receive it as much as anyone else
“Male Socialization” of trans femmes isn’t a real thing. Invoking it just shows you’re a bozo trying to misgender us.

Trans people were never really socialized as our AGAB. At best, we were pressured to mimic norms that gave us dysphoria.

It’s an obvious TERF / Blanchardist dog whistle. Do better.

It is *imperative* that, if we want healthy discussion about socialization, to understand it fundamentally

It is the instillation of *roles* and expectations for those roles, complete with the rewards and punishments involved

Talia points out in this thread how the programming lens fails miserably
