Talkin’ ‘Bout My S-S-S-Socialization →
cctcd:
Excerpted from Natalie Reed’s blog:
Growing up amidst male socialization when one’s gender identity is not consistent with it is a horrifying and traumatic experience. Nothing about it is in any way a privilege, and one does not internalize or adapt to it in a manner at all similar to how a cis man does. Rather than it being a means through which one develops confidence and a sense of...

Would you get that tattooed on you?
NO?
Then don’t get this:

Anime and the Social Construction of Race
zeezeescorner:
A common misconception about anime cartoons amongst uninitiated audiences in majority-English-speaking countries is that anime characters are drawn to look ‘White’ rather than ‘Asian’. First of all, neither of terms are factual fixed categories - they are social constructions. That is, the meaning attached to race, whether ‘White’, ‘Black’, ‘Asian’ and so on, and the groups...

The participants – all white – watched simple videos in which men of different races picked up a glass and took a sip of water. They watched white, black, South Asian and East Asian men perform the task.
Typically, when people observe others perform a simple task, their motor cortex region fires similarly to when they are performing the task themselves. However, the UofT research team, led by...
Trans Socialization

Gonna be another one of my rants~ so we’ll see where this goes. Also note that this is all my personal experience, and if it’s similar to yours that’s great, but if not then that’s okay too.
Basically I’ve noticed how a bunch of people want to say CAMAB trans people have experienced male socialization and CAFAB trans people have experienced female socialization.

I’m gonna rant a little about a very important issue and I’m tired and my words aren’t coming out right.
I don’t know how many people following me know this, but to legally change your gender in Sweden, you need to be force sterilized. You are not allowed to save your eggs or sperm to have any future children. You are not allowed to be married.
These laws are exactly 40 years old,...

So I am potentially about to get evicted from my apartment due to fees on late rent and I also have unpaid medical bills concerning an accident I had right before Christmas which resulted in a twisted leg and deeply bruised kneecap that I cannot afford to pay off either. I have no money for food and no money for the other bills I pay that are coming up in the middle of the...

Dear Customer who stuck up for his little brother,

sweetupndown:
you thought I didn’t really notice. But I did. I wanted to high-five you. Yesterday I had a pair of brothers in my store. One was maybe between 15-17. He was a wrestler at the local high school. Kind of tall, stocky and handsome. He had a younger brother, who was maybe about 10-12 years old. The only way to describe him was scrawny, neat, and very clean for a...

All filmed sexual acts in the Christian Porn genre are genuine intentions to create life, performed by heterosexual married Christian couples.
i bet there’s a ton of people who have a fetish for impregnating who’d get a real kick out of this.
