Share a BookPatti Smith's "A Book Of Days"
We were lucky enough to get the chance to see Patti Smith in person recently, and got this book along with our tickets. I've been in a reading funk lately, but this book was a nice way to dip my toe back into reading, and I found it incredibly moving! There are so many women I learned about such as Alice Ball (invented the cure for leprosy but her work was stolen) and Maryam Mirzakhani (first woman and first Iranian to win a Fields Medal), and I love that she uses her IG to share their stories, among other things.
I wasn't following Patti on IG so all of the photos in her book were new to me, and I really enjoyed it.
Too bad mental gymnastics wasn't in the Olympics... got a gold medal contender right here
Yeah but she would try to play on the men's team...
Honestly I don't think we should segregate mental gymnastics. I've seen some unbelievable performances from both sexes and I can't say either has an innate advantage.
Agreed, that's a sport that doesn't have advantages by sex.
Denial and delusional thinking are powerful coping mechanisms for both males and females. 👍
That's a lotta words and effort to say you're a straight womAn. At least she's got the male behavior down of using 1,000 words to say nothing at all...
Yep, gotta have the word salad and gaslighting otherwise you're just not man enough lol.
A woman in a straight relationship calling herself a closeted gay man? Am I reading that right?
Shit, you know her bf thinks it's exactly that too. Probably some kink shit involved as well, always is. Women like this are always targeted by creeps. They're in a vulnurable place( or straight up denying reality, case in point) and predators can smell that a mile away.

Why wouldn't you date them? Are you some kind of bigoted transphobe????
I love the hypocrisy of these people. WE aren’t allowed to exclude them- that’s a “genital preference”. While they can flat out state they are excluding others like themselves because of their genitals.

excuse of "my own dysphoria won't let me date other transwomen/transmen, I just don't want to see similar anatomy that would trigger me"
The woke answer to this is that they need to work on their "internalized transphobia" and should get that in order first before they seek out relationships. Since transphobia is an inexcusible crime and makes so many people literally kill themselves (according to gender extremists), you should never risk committing this supreme sin just to get laid.
ETA: Also, the TQ never lets female sexual assault survivors off the hook for saying penis triggers them and they therefore don't want to see naked men in women's changing rooms. Obviously a TiM's penis is a ~fEmaLe PenIs~ and there's no good reason to be triggered by it unless you're an evil transphobe. But trans "men" are allowed to be triggered by perfectly normal, functioning and totally male manginas?
totally male manginas
I spit out my coffee. 🤣🤣
"trans" is the new priest class. They can say and do whatever they want and if anyone calls them out, they're a blasphemer.
Why wouldn't you date them? Are you some kind of bigoted transphobe????
I wish I had a Twitter so I could tweet this at her in the replies. Then sip my tea while I wait for her to block me lol.
Kpop fan and a trans gay man???? Pick a struggle lmao
Just say you're straight and GO.
Ah, but then she wouldn't be sPeCiAl. Can't wave a flag that used to have a rainbow on it if you're just a bog standard woman. /s
I wish there was a way of tracking these girls so that in a couple of years time we can see how they end up. I know the majority of shit they post to SM is just them thinking out loud and trying out different personalities but I really want to know how long it takes them to snap out of it. I mean, how embarrassing would it be if they are still like this at 24?
That cognitive decline side effect of transition is clearly for real . . .
So only trans people are allowed to have genital preferences. Thats totally fair and not at all hypocritical!
That’s because these idiots conflate “gEnDer” with sexual orientation thanks to the T being lumped in with and forced on the rest of us. She’s a regular ass straight girl, who’s probably just a tomboy, that likes guys. There’s nothing gay about that, these kids are just stupid or don’t know any real gay people in real life. Either way, it’s just sad how the T is preventing people from using basic common sense
It's great to have a hobby, but this is getting silly. And homophobic, that too.
you gut out the trans part in the title lol, got me confused for a second
So a straight woman
This can stay since it has already generated conversation, but in the future, content like this should go in o/TransLogic.
Rules for thee but not for me!
normal people are transphobic if they reject people based on genitals but for trans people it's A-OK!
that's a lot of words to say that she's a straight woman who isn't feminine.
Oh I see, it’s fine when you have a sexual orientation as straight person trying to skinwalk gay people, but actual homosexuals aren’t allowed to.
So you’re a straight woman. Got it.
Wait, no. She's a pENiS FeTiSHisT. I thought people weren't allowed to feel "uncomfortable" with the thought of having sex with a specific type of genitals. "Straight" is wanting to have sex with the opposite genderwoo self-denomination to the one you chose for yourself, that has nothing to do with "penis" or "vagina". Same for "gay". That's why a lesbian should necessarily want to have sex with her bepenised "trans sisters", otherwise she's just a horrible bigot. Right? Weren't these the "rules" they tell us to eDuCaTe oUrSeLvEs about? No cherry-picking now, hun. Some transmen have vaginas. And you absolutely have to want to fuck them.
Also: why do these people need to announce their genital preferences on social media? It's almost like they're... oh, what was the word for terfs? Yes, "genital-obsessed fetishists".
That only applies to those of us who aren't gender-special. We get called bigots. Being gender-special allows people to have all kinds of preferences, even biases, and the rules don't apply.
Yes, just a really stupid one.
Came here to say "that's a lot of words just to say you're straight." Lolzzz
It's probably not even a woman, most likely a teenage girl (i'm basing this solely on them being a fan of the boygroup NCT)
