i should move my ass to twitter where people explain shit and try to make their ideas accessible but fitting in there would require being able to actually talk about myself. out in the open. & people reading it

this has been bugging me for ages does the materialist qualifier in “materialist feminist” actually have a definition? bc the majority of people i see IDing with this are terfs and it seems to be a synonym for their “you can’t argue with objective reality” & “trans oppression is immaterial” schtick as if that’s anything but an ego stroke. “im actually a Perfectly Objective feminist”

but I’ve also seen trans women use it and in that context it sounds like it’s somehow related to marxism (or inspired by?) and basically i have no idea what this term means when not used explicitly for transmisogyny. basically: where can i find a beginner’s guide to materialist analysis, how does it separate from other oppression analysis and, how can it mean anything at all when two nearly antithetical groups can read into it and decide it suits them both perfectly

call out post for the animation industry: every cartoon is looking a bit idk…. cartoonish. fucking amateurs

criticizinganimation:

on that note, i’m gonna make a post about something that has perplexed me for a long, long time

why the hell do most cartoons look great in the pilot, but the actual show’s animation quality is objectively inferior???? granted a LOT of these are just personal taste but i wanna see if people agree. why does this happen??

examples including but not limited to:

hi hi puffy ami yumi:

(pilot, it was traditionally animated too)

(main show, cheap flash)

steven universe:

(pilot)

(main show)

bee and puppycat:

(pilot)

(main show)

oh and my favorite example: ok ko

(they made an entire episode of the characters just watching the pilot lol). where the girl main character (enid) had normal legs and anatomy

(main series)

(pilot)

are u. serious. pilots don’t have strict deadlines and artists tend to go overboard making it look good above anything else. the actual shows are made under deadlines, so designs need to be significantly simplified. if you’re drawing every single frame, then each line on each character is an investment to have to repeat that same line a hundred thousand times a week. time and budget means to have a show look ‘pilot good’, you’ll get an episode once a year if you’re lucky. animated pilots sometimes take a lot longer.

if your complaint about animation is that it has to be simplified then u need to blog about something else tbh

all my followers are reblogging that post on how “if youre a trans man on t for longer than 5 years you will get uterine cancer” and

1) the link is a huffington post article,

2) im not a trans man but ive been looking and cant find any sources on long-term testosterone use having an increase in cancer rates,

and 3) im not saying this is fearmongering trans ppl but it sure is cispicious

trans men on t: just get your junk checked up by a doctor once a year, you don’t ever need a hysterectomy unless your doctor finds something concerning. if your doctor or anyone else says you MUST get a hysto after a set amount of time, DONT BUY IT

that doesn’t even make sense, considering uterine cancer is associated with more exposure to estrogen. also this article doesn’t have anything regarding trans men, but it does say that exposure to testosterone shows no correlation with proliferation of the cells lining your uterus

long story short theres not enough information on long-term effects of hrt to definitively say “this is going to give you cancer” especially when theres a five year timer on it.

the other post had about 4k notes last i saw – which is hundreds of trans people who now believe transitioning is going to potentially kill them in a few years. please be more critical of what “trans information” posts you post and reblog, because this is straight up cruel

Hormones to cis people are treatment until it comes to trans people, and then it’s death warnings.

TERFs have done more harm to feminism than any other group within feminism because they are both the group most willing to ally with the right-wing in order to achieve their goal of oppressing and marginalizing trans women, and they are the group most likely to actually hate men in the sort of violent, over-the-top way that is often taken and used in propaganda by anti-feminists. They are simultaneously the group helping to open up rifts in the LGBT+ movement, and the group that openly says and writes things that clearly only help the reactionary right-wing build their propaganda base.

TERFs are harmful and only harmful. Trans women are women and I love all my trans friends. TERFs can fuck off.
