Trans identified people expect “cis people” to have some crazy narcissistic love for their bodies. Like most people of any sex raised under patriarchy have weird shit with their bodies it doesn’t make you all special
Gender can be a touchy topic. Ever since chopping off my hair I’ve been asked multiple times “when I’m transitioning”. I’m 100% confident in my identity as a masculine female. Hell, cutting my hair short, almost makes me feel even MORE female.
A big ambition of the LGBTQ+ community is to eradicate gender roles. My confusion lies in the fact that since I cut my hair, which enhances my masculinity, the only reasonable explanation must be that I am transitioning. However, it is perfectly okay for me to be a masculine female, just as it is to be a feminine male. It is also okay that I desire to look more like a man, without wanting to identify as one. I love having female body parts - yeah, I wish I had smaller boobs and narrower hips, but for me that’s just for aesthetics.
I feel as though we as a community have lost touch with those of us who fall in between the lines, and not even to the point of identifying as non-binary. Some of us may never find a label that fits us perfectly, and that’s fine, we’re all just somewhere on a spectrum. Someone’s identity should never be assumed or questioned - and it is entirely up to them to decide who they want to be. I’ve never felt more happy with myself as I have since cutting off my hair. Hopefully some of you can relate to this message and I’m always open to discussion in the comments.
may your 2022 be vampiric and homoerotic
sorry if this is a rlly rlly dumb question but i’ve heard a lot of ppl talk about men who were falsely accused of rape getting their lives ruined by the accusations, and i wanted to know your thoughts on this.
I’m here to take all questions, as long as the person who asks them is willing to listen and learn. So I hope you listen closely.
The most commonly cited figure says that 5% of rape allegations are false. This figure comes on studies done on college students, of which it is reported roughly 90% do not report their assault to the police. So, if we take the number of rapes that occur and the number of false accusations, that means false accusations occur at a rate closer to around .005%.
So then we must ask, what makes a rape allegation deemed ‘false’? The classic example in popular media is “young girl regrets sex, claims rape”. However, we’ve found in research that simply isn’t the case. What’s more common is a teen girls parent finds out she’s sexually active and files a rape claim, that qualifies as a false claim. Also common is grown adults caught cheating, rape claim filled, often then redacted when the truth comes forward. That counts as a false claim. You know what counts for the majority, though? Let me give you an example. In one case, the police determined that a rape had to be a false claim because people had seen the accuser let her eventual rapist help her take her ski boots off. This classified her claim as a false one. The police saying your claim is false gets it classified in those same fake rape accusation statistics.
So how many false rape claims lead to convictions? A study found that of 216 complaints later classified as false, only 6 led to arrest, and of those 6, only two faced charges. And then those charges were overturned. There is simply no evidence to support the idea that false rape accusations routinely result in serious consequences.
So then how do false rape reports compare to false reports of other crimes? Let’s run some numbers. Over a 25 year period, 52 convictions were overturned due to false rape claims. In that same 25 year period, 790 convictions were overturned due to false murder claims. So that means you’re about 15 times likelier to be falsely convicted of murder than of rape.
So in conclusion, false rape claims aren’t this massive issue people pretend they are. Additionally, if a man you know is acting very concerned that he’s going to get falsely accused of rape, you probably want to avoid being alone with him…these men don’t fear lies, they fear the truth of their actions. They fear accountability.

A good portion of the problems on radblr can be solved by not answering bait anons and assuming every anon is who they say they are. Just saying.

If people are using this still as slur its not really a reclaim, especially when the oppressed use it as slur, same thing with fslur
so glad I live in the TERFs get tomato juiced country maybe we could start branching into soups also
This is your periodic reminder that nine out of ten of prostitutes do not want to be in prostitution. If you care about listening to sex worker voices and trusting them to know what’s best for themselves, the best thing you can do to support prostituted women and men is to push for more comprehensive exit services.
