Hey Uh Id Encourage You To Go Look Thru This Post And The Linked Posts And Articles Abt Using Tme/tma.

hey uh I’d encourage you to go look thru this post and the linked posts and articles abt using tme/tma. They’re separatist terms that were made with the intent to act as though afab folks have more privilege for being assigned female at birth. They were made to push transmen and transwomen apart. I’m not saying you have to stop using them, I’d just like it if you could do research abt the terms, and decide if you still wanna use them, okay. just if you decide after research that you still do want to, and believe that they cause no harm, I’d rather you stop interacting with me and my blog.

You just seem like a nice and cool person so I wanted to let you know so you could do your own research instead of just outright asking you to not interact with me cus you use those terms without further explanation.

I hope you have a nice day, or night /gen /nm

I went ahead and softblocked you; I didn't see your dni before, and I apologize for intruding where I'm not welcome.

Firstly, I don't believe that afab folks have "privilege" for being afab. In fact, I don't believe that there is any use in attempting to define a universal experience via ASAB (assigned sex at birth) because one's ASAB musn't necessarily impact who they are, how they define, how they move through the world etc. However, I do believe that afab folks are inherently oppressed under a cisheteropatriarchal context, although afab folks don't all experience that oppression under the same system / on the same axis.

Secondly, I do think that framing tme / tma as "separatist terms" is transmisogynistic. Speaking about who is affected by transmisogyny shouldn't be "divisive", unless one has no interest in checking how they may perpetuate harm against transfems – which is transmisogyny.

I'm not sure if this was your intention, but it seems as though you are conflating "tme" with "afab", which is erroneous at best and dishonest at worst. There are amab tme folks. Being tme is not about your asab, but rather your proximity to transfemininity. We can't have productive conversations if we aren't willing to engage honestly with these ideas.

Lastly, the post you linked is full of transmisogynistic dog whistles, but I'll address the claim that "everyone is affected by transmisogyny in variable amounts, including cis men and women", and therefore transfems creating terms to better discuss these matters is "backwards and wrong":

I see nothing wrong with tme folks discussing the ways in which they experience misdirected transmisogyny. In fact, it's very productive to point out these injustices wherever and whenever one can. I do see something wrong with these conversations decentering those who experience the brunt of the systemic violence, discrimination, and disenfranchisement: transfems.

If you are not a transfem or identify with transfeminity, aka tme folks, you should check how you perpetuate this idea that transfems speaking about their experience is divisive, unless you are fine perpetuating transmisogyny and silencing transfems.

the time honoured tradition of tightening up the graphics on level three

Worked on tidying up the graphics settings some more for today's Nightmare Kart dev post!

Spent most of today fixing up the FPS changer, so here's the game running at a higher FPS than the default 30 (the capture software caused the fps to be unstable just fyi!)

A woman went viral for being turned down for a next interview for a role, she asks the recruiter what she did wrong, the recruiter tells her they were “concerned about her lack of effort in her appearance.”

She explains she wore a freshly ironed blazer with a collared top. Her nails were painted a professional beige. She got a blowout for her hair, so a professional style. She had on subdued gold earrings.

The only thing she wasn’t wearing was makeup; she states she really doesn’t wear makeup, and only had chapstick on, as her skin is sensitive. Her lawyer mother has already explained she has no legal case against the company for any type of gender-based discrimination.

Just in case anyone wants to ask why feminists still refer to the “pink tax” or rail against more and more elaborate makeup trends being pushed on girls and women.

Women being punished socially for not wearing makeup is still a feminist issue.

I was today years old. That is disgusting.

No Child Left Behind is one of the worst things to ever be incentivized in schools. It was signed into law when I was 14. Reading Rainbow was my show as a kid. LeVar Burton played a big part in why I became an avid reader to date. The joy of it. It's an adventure around the globe and through different time periods without stepping on a plane or time machine.

Children parrot behavior. In grade school, I always wanted to read the same amount of books as my teachers (50 books) and managed to double that each year. Before No Child Left Behind, book fairs and Scholastic catalogs were a serious matter like your grandma's Fingerhut catalogs. Libraries were (and still are) a wonderland.

Reading comprehension and proficiency in schools has been declining for decades. A crisis. The joy of books isn't pushed anymore and I'm always saddened by it. It's one of the reasons why I post my book reviews and recommendations on here, as well as posts from others to encourage reading and (novel) writing. Kids will parrot your behavior while the education system sadly fails to return as that example.
