Y’all have got to stop reblogging shit from TERFs I swear to God

Okay here’s some fun wordplay for y’all: You’re on the website Tumblr dot com and you see a post about how men are all terrible. Men are often terrible, so there’s gonna be a lot such posts and most of them are good. Except in this case it doesn’t say “men” at all, it says “males.” Now put on your thinking caps and ask why OP would go to that trouble and sound like a space alien instead of saying “men” like a human.

It’s because the post isn’t about men.

I Detransitioned. But Not Because I Wasn’t Trans.

I had my first kiss with a boy long before I transitioned. At 17, I
knew I was a girl, but also that adults in my life weren’t ready for
that. I figured if I couldn’t be a girl, then I might as well fake being
a boy who likes boys.

It
was the winter of 2004. I remember this because that was when my little
heart discovered the Bright Eyes’ song, “Lover I Don’t Have to Love.”
On this perfectly executed, piano-driven, emotional-roller-coaster of a
track, Conor Oberst sings, I want a lover I don’t have to love. I want a boy who’s so drunk he doesn’t talk.

On
the desktop computer in the kitchen of my home in rural Maine, I opened
up AIM and typed out an away message with that lyric and then, without
waking up my parents, I crawled back upstairs to my bedroom to sleep.
