i agree in a vacuum (and have even made similar arguments myself), but as talia bhatt has pointed out, there’s no contradiction in the minds of those who think medical intervention in service of aligning a body with the ideal of their assigned sex is reinforcing what’s already “natural,” they believe those categories exist a priori

i’m ambivalent on the value of pointing out the double standard. i’m sure some people might be convinced by it if they haven’t given it much thought before, and i’m skeptical of any argument’s ability to change the mind of a committed chauvinist, but i guess at the end of the day i’d at least prefer if cis liberals were more focused on raising awareness about attacks on our care and ability to exist in public than dunking on fascists for also taking hormones when that’s never been the foundation of their problems with us anyway

intense, outward homophobia/transphobia is kind of unavoidably born out of some degree of personal gender/sexuality anxiety, and I think it’s unrealistic to expect people never to point that out. gay and trans people are also victims to that anxiety, and I say that with personal experience. BUT, mocking the anxiety itself and mocking what having such acute anxiety about gender/sex implies instead of the structures that give rise to that anxiety is still reinforcing queerphobia. that needs to be pointed out, criticized, and redirected to more productive ideas

oh you’re right my bad, a cisgender man breast growth competition

ooh i’ve heard of There Is No Antimemetics Division, i’ll have to check that out

envious that you got to live in a world where a trans breast growth contest actually existed, if only temporarily

yes, but i decided not to read the scribblehub because by the time i heard of it i knew a novel version was being written (though i’m tempted to read it now to note the differences)

what are you reading right now?

anyone here heard of/read Estro Junkies?
I need more chronically online trans people to discuss this absolutely unhinged book with

this is what my calc 1 professor gave us to brush up with when i took it a couple years back. they’re just videos though, if you want everything to stick you’ll have to spend some time grinding problems.

there are free textbooks here https://openstax.org/subjects/math
the instruction isn’t very thorough, worth skimming when you need a quick refresh. use it for the exercises. I’d go through the Algebra + Trig book and Precalc, you’ll need to understand trig pretty well to get through calc 2 hell

you’re in it
