I’m struck by the fact that as a trans woman I look more cis than some women I know who’ve given birth. I’m actually worried about a cis friend of mine if we ever get bathroom laws here.

captainlezbian ,

Try meth, might calm you down

captainlezbian ,

No it really isn’t. I’ve lived in two cities in my life and neither was like that. To put into context the drives LA contains approach calling Cleveland and Columbus Ohio neighborhoods of the same city.

Sure once you hit megapolis you get huge transits caused by density, but NYC isn’t nearly that bad. Chicago can be rough but it doesn’t come close. DC is delightful.

LA is uniquely “what if we built the most America megacity ever”

captainlezbian ,

Yeah a handful of people, but I’m terminally online when I’m between my terminally offline tasks

captainlezbian ,

Damn we’re already at the people have transitioned because of this social media site stage?

captainlezbian ,

I’m an engineer in a manufacturing environment

captainlezbian ,

Gold and silver are safe. Lead is dangerous for completely unrelated reasons. Cupric alloys are probably safe assuming you aren’t allergic. Speaking of allergic you can definitely do nickel if you’re completely not allergic to it. Aluminum should be safe.

Under no circumstances should you try tungsten.

captainlezbian ,

Maybe I’m just remembering the time I tried to bend tungsten and needed a bandaid afterwards

captainlezbian ,

Not in my dialect it isn’t. Cupric is at least how it was spelled in engineering school

captainlezbian ,

Yeah that’s as bad as the Cincinnati confederates. Like, motherfucker why do you think your city has a slavery museum? Go to it, it’s depressing but you need it

captainlezbian ,

Sounds fun. I like birds

captainlezbian ,

Well of course she can’t have side chicks. Homosexuality is a sin. Unless he does it

captainlezbian ,

And we shoot back. Yes the class war

captainlezbian ,

I’m attractive, moderately charismatic, large, weird, generally kind, and unable to shut my damn mouth.

I’m able to blend into my surroundings, but I have to choose to. The rest of the time yeah, everyone figures out who I am

captainlezbian ,

Shit, that’s an impressive deadlift

captainlezbian ,

Well yeah, antisemitism is antisemitism. Antisemites can and should fuck off, and we should aid them in that process.

captainlezbian ,

Based on that quote they need to spend less time banning books and more time reading them. Their grammar ain’t great

captainlezbian ,

Oh damn, that’s real good, I hope it applies to other states. My girlfriend’s son would’ve needed puberty blockers even if he wasn’t trans

captainlezbian ,

Individualism as a double edged sword. We’re more open to increased personal freedoms, but less open to collective solutions

captainlezbian ,

Power to the people must be accompanied by knowledge to the people!

Samuel Alito’s Wife Goes Full MAGA in Secret Recording ( www.thedailybeast.com )

Martha-Ann Alito, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, complained about the Pride flag, ranted about “feminazis,” and explained a flag design that she has been creating in her head in anticipation of when her husband is “free of this nonsense,” according to undercover audio released by a journalist and...

captainlezbian ,

On one hand I don’t believe in punishing people for their ancestors. On the other hand I don’t think her family ever left that party

captainlezbian ,

That’s why it’s less popular, these days aids gets more opposition funding than desantis does

captainlezbian ,

I try to be. Don’t always succeed, never recognize when I do, but try so hard my wife makes me stop martyring myself for others

captainlezbian ,

That’s how it was explained to me as a kid. But it was also made clear how it plays a pivotal role in aviation. Unfortunately it did have lifelong damage done to my sister, she grew up to be an aerospace engineer

captainlezbian ,

I’m nearly 30 and did them in elementary school

captainlezbian ,

I really like that, and will posit the transphobic chaser (chaser is the term the trans community uses to describe people who fetishize us) as further evidence. There are plenty of cis people who are attracted to us normally, they’re a huge chunk of who I date, and they’re usually somewhere between neutral and good with our issues. Sometimes you even get someone transphobic who found themselves attracted to a person who happens to be trans.

But then there’s the chasers. Some are attracted to our bodies as novelty, but a large chunk are virulently bigoted towards us, and they follow the same pattern. They’re ashamed to be seen with us (even if we pass for cis), overly focus on our genitals, and generally treat us like we exist for their fetishization of us. And this winds up with a nasty cycle of them trying to define our existence as a fetish, them attempting to push us out of “normal” society and into a life where we hide or are relegated to sex work, and in a society where they succeed we’re deemed disgusting immoral sex objects that only sick freaks are into which creates more of the bigotry by which fetishization spreads.

captainlezbian ,

Yeah, I think often the nuance in the criticism that’s easy to miss is that often when people automatically assume a homophobe is gay it can be used to absolve straight society of the homophobia it perpetuates by pretending homophobia is mostly an issue of self hate rather than one in which members of an oppressed class are taught to hate themselves by less focused bigots of the privileged group, and then are used to do the dirty work of homophobic violence. This is notable in conversion therapy where the people running it are “ex gay” but the people sending their loved ones or telling people to are straight.

captainlezbian ,

Reproduce. And they were infertile

captainlezbian ,

You could if you were cooler

When did you know a career was either the perfect or the worst match for your personality?

I'm trying to give someone advice on choosing a career that will suit them better than the one they're in and hate. I wanted to get together a list of good questions for them to ask themselves so they can use the answers to compare options like "do you prefer to work sitting or moving around," "do you want to not work weekends"...

captainlezbian ,

I learned engineering and I were going to have the occasional personality conflict about the time I realized I’m an extroverted woman. Thankfully I’m a sarcastic asshole that thinks she’s the smartest person in the room so I can often recover from it

captainlezbian ,

I need everyone to ignore this and keep Ohio home prices low

captainlezbian ,

It’s more than that it’s also to trap victims of sexual violence

captainlezbian ,

I miss the old Reddit femdomcommunity. I also just miss a lot of women oriented communities

captainlezbian ,

Like I love it here, but women focused communities are so important I run one irl

captainlezbian ,

Not in my experience. Diagonal down is easy to pull

captainlezbian ,

I learned it trying to fix a coffee maker. It’s news to me that it ain’t a coffee specific word.

captainlezbian ,

Exactly that. I picture it as one of those big jugs on an industrial coffee machine with the black or orange plastic to indicate if it has caffeine

captainlezbian ,

That’s rude. As a slutty woman I think even prudes should be allowed bodily autonomy as well.

captainlezbian ,

An attempt to further associate abortion with the perceived immorality of sluttiness and to assert that all needed abortions are due to preventable choices on the part of the individual needing them. I wish it was true, but I live in reality.

captainlezbian ,

Ok but the night of long knives is a thing that very much did happen. It wasn’t that gay Nazis saw the error of their ways, it’s that their party stabbed them

captainlezbian ,

Yeah that’s the thing, they’ll be really nice to your face as they take away your rights and protections. They know you’re one of the good ones. Right up until you start expecting something of them.

The left expects things of people. We expect you not to be a racist, and so racists think we can be pretty mean. We expect you to not be a misogynist, so we wind up being mean feminist killjoys…

captainlezbian ,

I find gay republicans often dislike gay culture (which is fine, it’s not for every gay person) and struggle to understand that some people will gladly call you a friend while firmly but quietly opposing an aspect of you, and that other people can hate your guts while they stand up for your rights.

Israel phasing out use of desert detention camp after CNN investigation detailing abuses | CNN ( edition.cnn.com )

Israel has transferred hundreds of Palestinian detainees out of the shadowy detention facility of Sde Teiman in Israel’s Negev desert, a state attorney told Israel’s Supreme Court on Wednesday during a first-ever hearing about the facility where prisoners from Gaza have allegedly been held under conditions of extreme abuse....

captainlezbian ,

It’s ok because they have a deep connection between their genetics and that dirt.

captainlezbian ,

Yeah I like the first three for the reasons you gave though flat design’s main issue for me is that it feels empty and corporate but like it thinks it isn’t or it’s trying to hide it. It’s the design opposite of the long form ad. The other designs here had a message and feeling, and yes it was always “futuristic” but this one isn’t. It’s simple without purpose, animated without life, and artistic without message. It’s the art style equivalent of my landlord asking for a quote about “the unique culture and experience of [complex]”.

Compare it to art deco which calls on you to acknowledge the grandiosity of the time. Honestly it could use a modern reinterpretation and revision of something like soviet realism to challenge it.

captainlezbian ,

And I’ve consistently been of the opinion they should barring certain crimes. I hate this felon’s guts, not a fan of most felons to be honest, but a vandalism felony as a 19 year old? Drug dealers? And that’s not getting into felonies I’m questionable as to if they should be crimes.

How to fix Korea's birthrate? Put girls in school earlier, controversial report argues ( koreajoongangdaily.joins.com )

"Notably, Chang's report claims that biological females develop earlier than males do, so requiring girls to enter school at younger ages will create classes in which the two sexes are of more equal maturity as they age. This, the author posits, makes it more likely that those classmates will be attracted to each other, and...

captainlezbian ,

It’s that easy in most countries (though really just making it not a financial detriment to reproduce is better), but in South Korea it’s more than the money. A lot of South Korean women are withholding reproductive labor due to the intensity of the cultural misogyny

captainlezbian ,

Huh, I definitely would’ve guessed it was New York City. I suppose I was mistaken about the ethnoreligious diversity of my neighboring country

captainlezbian ,

Are legal experts widely arguing it was unfair? Every lawyer take I’ve seen has been that it was if anything overly fair
