me and coworker: okay. we're getting rid of a ton of old records. they're sorted into price piles, you just need to write down the price and stick them to the record sleeve. if it doesn't have a sleeve, do not stick it to the vinyl bit, because the adhesive gunks up the grooves and affects how they play. okay?
new guy: yeah man!
us checking up on him 20 minutes later: ��😂
him: i did not put stickers on them 🫡
“why do trans men reference their agab so much” i mean being defined out of feminism and left with very little ways to make people understand our experience and oppression as trans men does have something to do with it.

And that doesn't even touch on bureaucratic issues and access to healthcare.
One reason I didn't change my legal gender before getting certain gender affirming care is that, strictly speaking, insurance in my country (as in many) does not cover gynecological care for men.
They factually do it here, but it can be quite the process to get them to approve it. Some gynecologists will refuse you (my former even told me they would no longer be able to see me, after I change my gender marker), just because getting insurance to approve it can be such a hassle.
I also opted to get certain things done beforehand, because things like sterilization, hysterectomies or oophorectomies are possible to access for "women" if they have relevant health issues that prescribe these. But if you have something deemed "women specific" like PMDD or endometrioses or symptoms associated with your period and you have a male gender marker, there is technically no regular way to get it treated. Because for one: men don't get gynecological care. and secondly: men can't get these diagnoses. Someone will need to fudge something to make it work.
Like factually you and a doctor argueing on your behalf can make these things happen, but it's really just due to the good will of whoever processes your case for the insurance, not because there are any laws that protect your access to healthcare in this case.
Certain approved computer programs for doctors offices don't even let them put in certain diagnoses, if your gender marker doesn't match, similar programs used by insurances can mark a request as fraudulent.
they mean a lot to me
Well you see minors under 25 years old should not be allowed to get gender reassignment surgery because what if they go to the clinic but instead of giving them a normal penis the nurses mess up and give them the evil penis. That's irreversible

We gotta stop aiming for unique and interesting baby names we gotta start naming every single infant straight-shot middle-of-the-road ass popular common unisex names like Alex and Sam. By the end of 2031 I wanna see 100% of kindergarten children named either Alex or Sam and you know what, let’s make ‘em all Smiths and Johnsons, too. In an age of digital tracking give your baby the gift of total functional anonymity within the panopticon
If Elon Musk owned Tumblr he would nuke your blog for this.

sometimes I wonder how y'all are obsessed with specific characters and I'm like "why them" but then I remember that sometimes its literally not your choice you just look at them wrong and all of a sudden they're taking up your every thought forever
