Every time you get a transphobic comment from someone awful, that's a shot in the war.

Every time someone shits on you for being open and honest and genuine, that's a war crime.

Every time your Parents intentionally deadname you, it's another day in the POW camp.

Every sexual assault, every hate crime, every stab and twist you feel is another fight, another casualty, another battle.

Remember what we're fighting for.

Women have reinvented themselves in the modern world over the last sixty years, going from a subjugated class to... Well, a Less subjugated class.
It's a work in progress.

Men... will never have a liberation movement, because they'd have to liberate themselves from

Well, Themselves. Abandon this whiny fuccboi Incel nonsense, abandon the myth of personal accomplishment, and stop stomping on anyone who's opening up emotionally or exposing vulnerabilities.

Who poisoned generations of Men so badly that the only way many of us know how to Love is by embracing womanhood?

Consider That one for a minute. How much of your dysphoria is due to the fact that you're Ashamed of feeling like a Man experiencing attraction, amore, or Love?
How much is because you didn't have any men around you who were emotionally literate? Who cared?
Where were the men who were comfortable and secure? Supportive? Sensitive?
women though...

But we're having Family Movie Night and it's Saving Private Ryan, oh, that's perfectly okay to watch with my 14 year old son!
Boys will be Boys.
Rape apologists.
Centralized Homophobia.
Rampant misogyny.

All of this adds up to cultural indoctrination designed to drive Men to Violence and Women to Fear. Who do you think profits most off this state of affairs when all is said and done?
Who paid for it?

Just think about it for a minute. Our mainstream culture is set up to produce Soldiers.
Public school, JROTC, first person shooters, and toxic masculinity in general Glorifies what amounts to organized Murder.
Oh, but Sex?!
Not until you're Eighteen Buster, Nope. We're not even gonna talk to you about or Acknowledge your dick.
Not supposed to even think about sex till you're eighteen and THEN you're supposed to marry a Woman and Bone for procreation Only.

Let me fill you in on the War On Love.
Started after WW2. The attacks on the Hippie movement in the late 60s, Kent State, the AIDS epidemic, school shootings, Homo and Transphobia in the 90s, and the rise of Incels and the Trump (bowel) movement are All historic battles.
There are Evil White men who want to destroy our ability to love one another through Herd Immunity. Poison enough people to all but the Approved kinds of Love that as a culture we lose the ability to love.

2017: She's still here. Turns out she's popular.
2018: *Gets possessed by her wholesale at ANE and she nearly wrecks my life. Spends the rest of the summer rehabilitating her* Guess I'm a girl part time now. :\

2002: I wish I was a Girl, they get to have so much more fun but I'm a sad fat dragon with no friends.
2006: I found another Herm who matches me perfectly and who loves me for who I am! I'll focus on being a Boy so I can be an engineer and support everyone.
2011: Evicted from eden
2016: *Hears a knock at the door and his old imaginary friend drops her duffel bag and leans in the doorframe* Hey, life went to shit, can me and the woodland critters crash here for a while?

Me: rough redneck gearhead and machinist, scientist grandfather, pirate godfather, grew up on a farm.

Also Me: Soft witch therapist and Oracle, grandfather invented fake titty milk, pirate godfather was a male lesbian, grew up on a Flower Farm.

Both situations are equally relevant. I got the genderqueer hippie childhood where the strong parental figures were always the Moms.

It will kick almost instantly, but apply pressure for one minute.

To separate, use wedges to slowly pry apart. Soak with WD40 or simple green to soften the tape.

This technique holds aluminum plates down under CNC machining. It's powerful magic

Thaumaturgy Thursday!
Gonna try and share some magic every week.
Today's magic: Sticking something to something else Hard, but still being able to separate them cleanly with no residue and no exotic adhesives or cleaners.

Double sided tape is for basics, to really hold something down, you need Painters Tape and super glue.

Clean and Mask both surfaces to be bonded, clean the tape of it's release agent, and burnish flat with a roller. Apply a bead of super glue to one side and bond.

Made up an Ecto Cooler vape juice for October, and it's mighty tasty.

Gender of the day: Vegan sex vampire

Also, Anyone reading this should probably follow @budgiebin@snouts.online. She's my Wife, partner.. uh, Woman I've shared almost thirteen years with....
She's my better half, and makes art and bread and researches ways to make Scratch and Sniff stickers at home. She's my Favorite Person.

Historic trans icons: The wicked sorceress Circe.

I mean, she could have been Trans. Mostly she likes turning men into Pigs. I think if you can do that sort of Magic, you probably don't have to Tuck if you don't want to.

From Here, where I am, where I Came from...
I can see and Do both sides. I'm welcome in the temple of the Goddess, and in the holy pits of V8.

And I have to be. The idea of conforming Only to the norms of one cisgender population or the other got me into this situation I'm recovering from in the first place.

Just... I guess don't make me pretend I'm into Sportsball for too long and I'll be comfortable.

I'm... Hm. Think Sigil, Angrboda, Gillpanda, Endium. I'm a shapeshifter who likes helping other people be their truest selves.

I had to explore not just both sides, but All sides. Relationships can be deep and meaningful and founded on not a love for one another but a love for a Third. I've seen the relationship that can form between Bassist and Drummer over a Decade or more.
I'll never have that kind of Mind Meld with @budgiebin@snouts.online, and we're gross soulmates.
