Am I emo enough

From the article (published before the ads were rolled out): "Even if someone flinches because they think I am a man buying tampons, the idea that people assume all women bleed and men do not adds to the stigma transgender people face all the time."

I feel sorry for the trans writer they decided to parade around to show off how ~inclusive~ they are. I hope they got paid.

Really makes you thinx 🤔

Ok, but one of the founding members of The Cure really did come out as trans later in life, which really explains everything

Robert Smith personally came into my house and told me to fuck gendered rules about makeup, hairspray, and liking kitty cats.

It was issued in the States with the title, "Boys Don't Cry", to really drive the point home.

The Cure's first album, Three Imaginary Boys, was about trans men, because we only exist as hypothetical constructs in cis "thought" experiments.

@melissasage For you red diaper babies out there. Hm, "red diaper baby" sounds a lot more insulting in 2019 than it did in 1959.

@melissasage Can't wait for the follow-up about what it would be like if men got pregnant.

In the real world, courts and hospitals make it hell for trans men to conceive, to the point of children being ruled not legally theirs even if they came out if their damn vagina, but in cis fantasyland, it would be really chill and an improvement on things because bros lol

Cis people are running an ad campaign positing the shocking/funny world where men get periods.

Omg wouldn't that change everything. I bet tampons and pads would be free and easily accessible.

For these wacky men who have periods.

Who aren't humiliated and shamed for having periods.

If men had periods, society would bend over backwards for them and they'd talk about it. All. The. Time.

Like, I don't want a wife and kids and a house in the suburbs or anything, I think it's all obvious garbage (because of them), but the people who have that love to have a scapegoat, don't they? Somebody to project their little fantasies of deviancy on. Meanwhile, I just want what every Millenial wants: stable housing, decent enough money, and all the older people in my life to fuck off.
