See also @riotlinguist.bsky.social noting that "boy" as constructed by patriarchy is functionally a different gender from "man"
You see the kind of dynamic I'm talking about in the comparison many people make to ancient Grecian or Roman sexual standardsβ€”it's not minoritizing for a man to have sex with a boy, or for the boy to accept it, because boyhood is already partly feminized.

An easy way to make sense of cishet guys being into femboys and that "not being gay" is that the core of what's always stigmatized "gay" is feminization, not same-sex activity in itself.

Male same-sex activity in a masculinizing context has always been a lot more socially acceptable.

femboys are the only allowed queers under fascism. sexual objects. submissive. no agency. not trying to be another gender anywhere but in the bedroom. not "cheating" on your tradwife to fuck one. its not gay if you dont reciprocate. it goes back to ancient greece and rome. the spartans did it.

I think a more interesting avenue would be exploring how the visceral hatred of queer life and modes of existence absolutely boils the brains of queer people who then proceed to invent various high-minded rationalizations for cooperating with patriarchal strictures, but... no one's ready for that.
Like the Susan's Place ex-mod calling me an AGP crossie who shouldn't have access to hormones and the queer theorist who says transitioning is inherently a Western and colonial concept are both equally fucking annoying, but neither is my direct oppressor.

Like I care a lot less about exactly what you do with your own bodily autonomy, and more about exactly how you're advocating for (or against...) all of ours!
Reposted by Lavender Fungusbot πŸ„πŸ€–
I just want to remind people that the cissexist stigma against all forms of bodily transition is real, is embedded even in queer and trans communities, and the idea of a "binarist", "transmedicalist" hegemony within trans spaces is as fake as the idea of a "cissexual" one.

I do not disagree with the sentiment that all trans people, no matter what specific steps they can or wish to take to transition, share a common struggle.

But like. To be blunt, so do cishet tradwives.

Sharing the struggle doesn't mean an automatic positive contribution.

One thing about the "transsexual" discourse that cyclically sweeps through queer Bsky circles:

For some reason, every time we argue here about the relation of transition to trans identity, people forget that "transition is regressive and binary" is a legitimately held position by a lot of queers.

thinking about how some people just really want to enjoy the fruits of perverse outsider art but without giving up their very strict values on what things are culturally allowable that they'll just hallucinate alternate histories about how x or y didn't become pornographic until recently lol

still can't get over what we learned today that the actual story is elon musk just copied enough of wikipedia word-for-word for grokipedia to be useful but rewrote all articles related to him to be more favorable, leaving out facts he doesn't want people to see or talk about
I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.
Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia
Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

Bluesky has NO ALGORITHM.
Likes are PRIVATE by default.
If you enjoy someone's content, you've GOT to get used to circulating it.
The point of social media is to be SOCIAL.
It's literally just a 2nd button press; please help artists out by hitting reblog, too! Likes are nice, reblogs get exposure!
Bluesky needs a bit of a culture shift

I'm noticing that engagement has kindof been cratering, but favs haven't. People will fav a post but not comment or repost it, I've noticed this with others as well.

If you like something, spread it! Try commenting to bump it or repost it eh?

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically

I propose November 1st as resurgence day. Halloween ends, and we all pick up the phones again. MasterCard and Visa, bare minimum, once per day. Every day. All of us. They are only hiring the usual number of holiday workers, this would frighten credit card companies. β€œIt’s not going away”
