7 Simple Ways to Say “No”
1. “I can’t commit to this as I have other priorities at the moment.” This lets the person know your plate is full right now.
2. “Now’s not a good time as I’m in the middle of something. How about we reconnect at X instead?” This lets the person know it’s not a good time. However, you also convey your desire to help by suggesting another time (at your convenience). This way, the person doesn’t feel blown off.
3. “I’d love to do this, but …” This is a gentle way of saying no. It’s encouraging as it lets the person know you like the idea but I can’t take part due to other reasons, such as prior commitments.
4. “Let me think about it first and I’ll get back to you.” This is more like a “Maybe” than a straight out “No”. If you are interested but you don’t want to say ‘yes’ just yet, use this.
5. “This doesn’t fit with what I’m looking for now - but I’ll keep you in mind.” Sometimes it is just best to turn the person/ offer down. Otherwise, the discussion can drag on and on.
6. “I’m not the best person to help on this. Why don’t you try X?” Again, sometimes it is best to say you’re the wrong person to help etc. If possible, refer them to a lead they can follow-up on instead.
7. “No, I can’t.” The simplest and most direct way to say no.

I think sometimes people forget that the gov is the corporations’ bitch, not the other way round.
idk y’all should treat fat men better. and i don’t mean mildly chubby guys i mean honest-to-god love-handles-and-double-chins fat guys. stop calling them shit like discord mods or gross weebs or nasty creeps or neckbeards or that they’re stinky or sweaty or beer bellied or whatever else. fatphobia isn’t cute, even repackaged in a neat little box of “ew men”
"trans men are sooo whiny for wanting to be in women's spaces like I thought you wanted to be treated like a man lmao" DID YOU FORGET ABOUT THE GYNECOLOGIST BEING TREATED AS A "WOMEN'S SPACE"? HOMELESS SHELTERS THAT YOU HAVE TO DETRANSITION TO STAY IN? OR DO YOU THINK THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND SNAPPY PHRASES YOU HEARD FROM VAGINAGODDESS AND HYGENICWOMBYN ON TUMBLR DOT COM
A lot of people focus on saying how strong you are. And they mean well. And sometimes it’s the reminder we need.
But sometimes… it’s the exact opposite of what we need to hear.
So, here’s a reminder if you need it. It’s okay to be weak. It’s okay to need to take a break. It’s okay to be tired. It’s okay to crumble. Your worth does not change. It’s okay if you don’t want to be strong. You are worthy whether you’re weak or strong.
I will never not be absolutely gutted at the fact that Soren grew up in a world that hated him, alone and scared, and turned into someone deeply untrusting when all along he had a family that loved him. Loved him enough to sacrifice themselves for a chance to save him.
He had a mother that never stopped loving him and uncles that would have adored him, did adore him. And he never knew them and they never found him.
It kills me that they loved him. It's so unfair that they love him and he never knew.
the concept of a freakshow never fully went away. nowadays people collect posts/screenshots of disabled/mentally ill people literally just Existing Online and put them on their accounts with the intention of displaying them for people to hurl abuse towards. And they think that this is a Normal and Moral way to behave and carry themselves.
Also? TLC shows are often freakshows rebranded to be inspoporn or "these are obviously freaks but we're HELPING them". I'm a literal bearded woman and had a TLC show producer reach out to try and make a show about me in 2018. See also: British tabloids and reality shows. They're even more aggressively obvious that they're into freaks. Freakshows are everywhere in modern media.

I wish, rather than “invisibility” more people used “erasure”. Invisibility reads like something that just happens.
Trans men and transmascs aren’t invisible, we’re deliberately erased.
Kill the idea that trans men are invisible.
We are not invisible, cis society knows we exist. They deliberately erase us when it suits their needs and they acknowledge us as silly, simple women or predatory men when it suits their needs. The idea that we are “invisible” only serves to further harm us. Our oppression is treated as non-existent, lesser, or not a big deal because of this.
Being forcibly erased doesn’t also erase oppression; it’s being done to further our oppression + the oppression of trans women. There’s a reason why trans men existing loudly as trans and being open about transition is treated like we are transing the impressionable youth. When we are visible enough to be seen and listened to, we’re a threat. When we are visible enough to be seen and listened to, the lies transphobes are laid bare for everyone to see.
Do not join the side of cis society and aid in our deliberate erasure. Do not speak of the transphobia against us as “invisibility”, suggest that we scrape by because we are simply forgotten, or call us “collateral damage”.
There is nothing invisible about the impact of the antitransmasculine rhetoric, it’s on the books. It’s in the laws. If it is “invisible” to you, it’s something you’re choosing to overlook.
Transmasc invisibility does not exist, what gets referred to as “invisibility” is actually transmasculine erasure, which is a huge function of how transandrophobia functions.
No more calling our oppression invisibility.

Humans have been giving their pets god names for millennia, not knowing that they actually bestow upon them the gods power. But it’s divided amongst all pets with the same name, so ultimately quite harmless. This morning, by a quirk of fate, yours is the only cat named Zeus.
Potential crisis prevented- my cat is already neutered.
