i know i have made this specific gripe before but from the salesfloor, with love: stop sidesaddling your cart you take up the entire goddamn aisle and knock over all my nice displays with your oblivious wide turns the handle is right there it is literally easier to push the cart than to pull it why do you do this i want you to stop as much as i want to understand aaaaaaauaughghghggghg
my own fucking roommate..... this is what father gascoigignine meant by beasts all over the shop or whatever
i have a theory that people feel silly putting their little hands together up on the handle, like it's too feminine or something
related: have you ever encountered one of these maniacs
no but one time my coworker saw an instacart shopper finish loading up the cart into their trunk and instead of walking it back to the cart return they lifted it up and hurled it over the fence and down the hill into the road below

A hatred of men is an essential part of transphobia against both trans women and trans men.
Genuinely curious how you would explain the transphobia of the far right with this logic.
Does Matt Walsh hate men?
Yes.
He hates men who do not conform to the patriarchy's ideals of manhood. He hates gay men. He hates men of color. He hates fat men. He hates men who are too thin. He hates short men. He hates Jewish men. He hates disabled men. He hates poor men.
He hates any man who does not conform to white American Christian cishet patriarchy.
And a hatred of men is not the only part of transphobia. You'll notice I said it is a part of transphobia. Misogyny - a hatred of women - is also a part of transphobia.
This week I am very happy to present a collaboration comic with my friend Chrissie, who has been generous in sharing with me her experiences of gender dynamics in a technical field, and then helping me craft them into a comic narrative.
Whenever I see Chrissie’s work I’m always impressed at the cool, creative things she does. When we were discussing this comic, she told me: “I find men persistently try to direct me lots now too, which is probably the biggest problem I consistently run into”, and my feelings around that fact are a terrible and familiar blend of frustration, sadness, and lack of surprise.
When we talk about the differences in how men and women are treated professionally, especially in technical fields, we are often dismissed with ‘everyone has to deal with that’, or ‘women need to demonstrate more confidence with their skills’, or ‘they’re just trying to be helpful’, or ‘it’s all in your head’.
It’s frustrating when we know something like this is happening, but we spend so much of our time actually trying to get people to believe that it’s a real phenomenon. I find narratives like Chrissie’s validating in that she has a comparative set of experiences and is like ‘oh yeah, people totally think I’m less competent at my job now. it’s totally a thing’. So, can guys just believe us already and get on helping it not happen?
I work as a vet tech at an exotics clinic, since transitioning to male i get AT LEAST half as many questions as i use to from clients. Our older male clients specifically who could spend 15 min grilling me about the info i was giving them, dont give me shit anymore!!! I tell them their bird has x going on and the treatment is y/z, and theyre like “okay, thank you sir”
Intead of the “well, did the DOCTOR say that? I want his opinion.” Kind of shit
Maybe I’m too autistic for that, but I literally cannot grasp what the fuck must be going on in the heads of people who use services of a professional, THEN start doubting their qualifications/thinking that they know more about this field, and yet still fucking proceed to use said services.
Like, if your prejudices make you see other people as incapable of performing their work, maybe have the courtesy to Fuck Right Off?
one of the things i noticed taper off sharply as i became more and more masculine was i stopped being corrected on the words for tools. as a girl in boy’s clothes i HAD to use the right words for EVERY tool i picked up, pointed at, or casually mentioned– and since a lot of tools have multiple casual names, someone was sure to correct me no matter what i said.
once i started passing, i could just snap and point and say ‘pincher thingy’ and someone would hand it over without comment.
anyone who acts like there's some kind of implicit understanding or sisterhood between all women is straight up lying
i made this post specifically about a friend of mine, so let me say this: if you want to be a girl, but feel like you can't because you would never be comfortable in The Club of Womanhood, don't worry! feeling like an alienated little weirdo who will never Get what other girls seem to pick up naturally is in fact an extremely Girl experience

Gender Troubles: The Butches
As encapsulated so perfectly in Alison Bechdel’s ‘Fun Home’:
As a butch woman who was once a wee butch girl, I can attest to the sheer power of this.

it bears repeating in a more gentle manner but in the nicest way possible, there is a really issue with discrepancy when you talk about issues happening in different countries. when it’s anti-trans/gay laws in north america and western europe, it becomes “genocide”. when other countries, like mine, have jail and death penalties for being gay explicitly, it becomes a matter of “oh it’s illegal there” and sometimes, insidiously, “that’s just how they are, they’re less progressive.” and i need you all to know this is white supremacy talking and i, a gay person living in a country under the threat of death penalty, am as much of a victim as you are.
