The Idea Of A Privileged Trans Paradise, Especially Within The United States, Is An Absolute Lie. There

the idea of a privileged trans paradise, especially within the United States, is an absolute lie. There are places where violence is more likely and less likely, depending on the population size and political/cultural breakdown, but you can be killed for being trans in New York or Portland. You can be harassed or denied treatment or fired or evicted for being trans in Seattle or Los Angeles. Your legal ability to defend yourself against this will differ but the harm done to you will not change. Protection of trans people is less about where you are and more about who you're with. Trans people and queers in general have had to protect one another in a hostile world for decades. With the liberalization/capitalization of trans and queer spaces and greater dependence on online communities came a breakdown of this survival community. That's why we have shit like Plume eating up the airwaves with their subscription based bullshit giving you info you could've gotten at the local queer/trans support group before it disbanded. Isolation is your greatest weakness. No matter where you are or how safe you feel, get a fucking crew, people you're friends with or just people in the area who will have your back. Get each other's numbers, stay in contact, and ANSWER THE CALL WHEN YOU GET IT

Ai can be fun to use as a chatbot but DO NOT USE IT IN PLACE OF ACTUAL WRITERS OR ARTISTS because that is SUPER DISRESPECTFUL and also basically plagiarism when considering how AI works (trained off of the works of others and thus incapable of truly uniqueness or originality) .

Hi,

It’s your friendly neighbor fanfic author here. In the light of this apparent new trend of people feeding unfinished fics to AI to get an “ending,” and some people even talking about “blanket permissions,” let me just say this:

I EXPLICITLY FORBID ANYONE TO FEED MY FICS TO AI. DUDE, THAT IS ABOUT THE LEAST RESPECTFUL THING YOU CAN DO. IF YOU DO IT, SHALL YOU BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM YOUR FANDOM AND WALK ON LEGOS BAREFOOT TILL THE END OF DAYS.

That is my anti-permission.

Thank you for your attention.

It’s also important to remember that something a person gets off to fictionally isn’t always something they condone or would practice in real life!

Do I think that the idea of a character like Albert Wesker or Medic Tf2 cutting me open is mad hot? Yes. Would I ever let someone do that to me in real life? Fuck no.

Some fantasies are concept-only, and just because you read about them and enjoy it doesn’t mean you necessarily want to do them in real life.

in order to not succumb to sex negative conservatism you have to accept that people will get off to things that are upsetting to you. and you cannot assume anything about what they have or have not experienced, what they do or do not believe, and how they act based solely on what gets them off. even if it's extremely confusing and disturbing to you. there are people who have only ever had heterosexual vanilla sex in missionary with the lights off, who actively contribute to more real world harm than your average fetish artist. kink is not a reliable source of information on someone's moral standing. it just feels good to think that way.

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)
