    I would have felt better about the body scanner thing had the officer not then demanded to pat down my right shoulder

    I don't like being touched by strangers and I have no idea what it was the scanner saw >_<

    honestly though i was expecting so much worse and all i had to do was put my stuff into a box that went through a conveyor belt thing that was pretty cool and walk through another cool thing so actually it was rather nifty, even the line was reasonably quick

    also one of the TSA agents was cute

    The lines were reasonably quick for me too, which was impressive because, well, Chicago O'Hare at Christmastime, I expected a long wait, you know?

    It saw your secret.

  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
    Every girl has a secret in their pants and it is called their peepee. If they don't have one then they aren't really there because there are no (cis)girls on the internet or in real life.

    My secret is that I'm a cisgirl and I pretend not to be because I get attention.
  • Security's become less of an issue now that coming home from school automatically means a 3-hour flight. 

    If we could just advance it far enough that I don't have to take my laptop out of my bag, we'd be set.

    This article kinda bugs me. Like, on one hand, yes, it's vitally important that the issue of suicide in the trans community be addressed, but on the other hand, it was written because people kept bringing up the suicides of transmen in discussions specifically about Leelah Alcorn, and people called them out for derailing from the original subject. I'll be honest here, it feels kinda like men trying to dominate the conversation again, whether intentionally or not.

    i, too, have felt loss

    Social Security cards have to be one of the dumbest things America does.

    You're supposed to carry this card around with you your entire life, but it's made of paper flimsier than the average business card and you're not allowed to laminate it.

    Was there a shortage of actual, you know, plastic cards at some point??
  • kill living beings
    I have considered this as well

    my conclusion is ugh
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    I don't think anyone's wanted to see my actual Social Security card in years, and I have the number memorized anyway.

    when they gave me my national insurance number, they also gave me a plastic card with the number on it

    those were phased out not too long ago, these days you're expected to just remember it

    On one hand, I can't blame trans men for trying to wedge themselves into the conversation since they tend to get overlooked even in the trans community.

    On the other hand, they definitely could've been more tactful about how they went upon doing that.

  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    misogyny and violence against transwomen are both serious problems

    however i feel that transmale privilege, insofar as it exists, is fairly insignificant and severely exaggerated on the internet, whereas cis privilege screws trans people of both genders over, so i don't see what's gained by telling transmen to stay out of conversations regarding trans suicides

    am i wrong?
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    (i am not trans, so it's very possible i'm utterly wrong here)
  • kill living beings
    it seems i am not good at expressing myself today
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    Except transmen aren't being told to stay out of conversations regarding trans suicides. They're being asked not to go all "Hey guys, did you know that transmen commit suicide too?!" in discussions related to a very specific suicide by a transwoman. By comparison, it would be like me going into a conversation about Andi Woodhouse and saying "Hey, hey, transwomen die as well!" unprompted.

    And let's be blunt here. There is a very real history in the trans community of transmen talking over transwomen and non-binary folks in shared spaces, be that discussion panels or whatever else.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    oh, i see

    so derailing a conversation about a specific suicide with an agenda
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    (And of course, on the extreme end of the spectrum you have misogynistic assholes like Chaz Bono and Max Wolf Valerio, although somehow I doubt transmen want them as representations either)
  • And let's be blunt here. There is a very real history in the trans community of transmen talking over transwomen and non-binary folks in shared spaces, be that discussion panels or whatever else.

    this rather surprises me, as i almost never hear anything about transmen

    most likely a weird experiential fluke i guess
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Yeah, i don't know what i'm talking about.  i'd noticed there was quite a lot of hostility towards transmen on tumblr, and it bothered me, that's all.

    Sorry Fossilmaiden.

    i believe you but man, this is not what i've seen in my own experience. weird
  • I have also never seen much case of transmen talking over transwomen.

    Indeed I do see a lot of self-proclaimed "trans feminists" talking about transmen as though they're the scum of the Earth.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Nor is that my experience, honestly.

    But i wonder if tumblr has skewed my perceptions of these things.
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    Honestly, I think part of it may be because of that perceived invisibility. Statistics have the ratio at roughly 1:1, but there's so much focus on transwomen in the mainstream, it makes it seem more like 1000:0.
  • kill living beings
    hmmmmm just about to say something that would be bad if i said it wrong. having a no-hit today

    Be really really fucking careful when you say stuff like that about transmen. Because there is a a surprisingly large contingent of trans folk who seem to absolutely hate them. And I've seen the effects that shit has.

    IRL I'm friends with two transmen. Transmen in the southern United States, who are also being shit on by people on Tumblr, which should by all means be something of a safe haven for all trans people. Three guesses for the kind of wondrous effects the latter part combined with the former has on their mental health. It ain't fucking pretty.

    Who would be the title character in an episode called "Werewolves of Townsville", I wonder?

    Also I'm sure it would include non-copyright-infringing knockoff of "Werewolves of London"

    Apple phones usually are, at least compared to most alternatives.

    HTC phones come close, but Samsung phones are just kinda...eh?

  • Moto's recent work is also kinda pretty, tbh

    The 360 and Moto X are like, perf
