Best Way I Have Found To Comfort People Who Are Endlessly Apologetic Of Things Outside Their Control

best way I have found to comfort people who are endlessly apologetic of things outside their control (often as a result of shitty relationships) is the jokingly hyperbolic accusation of [gasp] "so you're behind it all!"

like someone giving me directions who starts apologizing profusely when I miss a light as if it's their fault--[gasp] "it was you who petitioned city council to build this intersection in 1893!!" because it snaps them out of it and they laugh like. oh yeah. that's a ridiculous thing to blame someone for. I'm not that guy. you're not that guy. it works.

Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, this needs to be dragged out to a wider audience.

REBLOG IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS A TRANSFEM SAFE SPACE.

We need to show these higher ups how much we truly value them.

Edit: Changed the wording of the post and decided to put in a reminder that this extends to refusing to believe in bogus call-out posts for frankly minuscule thinks such as being horny or kinky, especially if the target is presenting in an ‘unconventional’ manner, (therians, etc.) this double standard where it is seen as ‘degenerate’ for transfemmes to merely exist in certain spaces, yet everyone else is fine to do so is disgusting and part of the reason for the backlash.

PUTTING TERFS DNI IS NOT THE BE ALL AND END ALL, YOU GENUINELY HAVE TO PUT YOUR MORALS OF BEING RESPECTFUL INTO PRACTICE.

Hey so I wrote a poem and um I'm gonna throw this here and see how it goes.

I am Not Trapped in This Body, I am the Body

AKA a pile of word vomit I made

I am not trapped in this body.

This body is all mine.

I do not move this body,

I am moving.

I am not trapped by my flesh,

Only how others perceive it.

I yearn to change,

But does the water not yearn to flow?

I pine to be able to change,

Just as the Oxen pine to be let out to roam.

So do not say it is unnatural to want to change.

For It Is More Unnatural

To stay

The same.

Please tell me if my poem was horrible. Like please I need to know so I can never post poems again. If i am not stopped I might post more poems

Idk what wet rat Wednesday is but I am here for it.
