Me: You can but you’re going to have to wait for half an hour.
Man: Oh no its okay I’ll just take whoever’s available.
Me: No one is available right now. It’s going to be a half hour wait.
Man: Oh its okay just give me whoever can take me right now.
Me: There. Is. No. One. Available. To. Give. You. A. Hair. Cut. Right. Now.
Man: what do you mean?
Me rapidly losing patience: I have a colour and my coworker has a Perm. We are both busy and there is no one else in the salon. So if you’d like to take a seat we can fit you in in 30 minutes.
Man: Oh….. Well I don’t want to wait.
Me: Then I suggest you make an appointment and come back and you won’t have to wait.
Man: So there’s no one available right now?
Me:
This is so much fucking funnier with the gif removed
My home will be a home with no loud anger, no explosive rage, no slamming doors or breaking glass, no name calling, shaming or blackmail. My home will be gentle, it will be warm. It will keep my loved ones safe. No fear, no hurt and no worries. I may come from a broken and twisted place but I will build something whole and safe. I’ll sing in the shower again, cook with a smile and dance in all the rooms. I will heal.
I’ve never had a reheading go this horribly before. I’d say I’m pretty good at beheading- I may have broken a neck once or twice, but never any parts I actually liked or intended on keeping, and usually a reheading is the easiest thing, right? Just a little squish and a pop and done, a complete person. But this time it just- it just won’t go back on the body?? Which is incredibly frustrating but also, like, why??
And the funniest thing is, I’m not even swapping a head!! This is a curvy dancer head going onto a curvy dancer body!! They match!! This should have been so simple!! But no, this head’s just flopping around like a limp flaccid idiot and my hands are all red and sore now but the head just isn’t attaching all the way!!
Today I did six beheadings and two other reheadings, and I wanted to get this one attached so I could take a picture, but somehow it just isn’t working!! The head is just getting squished around but isn’t stretching over the neck right!! And I’m way too lazy to go and boil the head just to make the slip easier!! And I don’t wanna keep forcing it cuz I might break something but this is!! So frustrating!!
Like, what could I possibly be doing wrong!! Fuck!!
I boiled the head and it popped right onto the neck in like two seconds.
I’m an idiot. Always do things the proper way from the get-go. Saves a lot of wasted time and struggle and ouchy hands.
BARBIES. I’M TALKING ABOUT BARBIES. I AM CUSTOMIZING TOYS RIGHT NOW I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER AND I HAVE NEVER BEHEADED AN ACTUAL REAL LIFE HUMAN BEING OR TRIED TO REATTACH A PERSON’S HEAD BY BOILING IT
People have asked for more specifics on what happened to my sister, and why I’m kind of stuck on it when it comes to both cotton ceiling rhetoric and the practice of terfing women for pretty much nothing. So here goes.
My sister’s a lesbian. She’s married to a nice lady and they’re very loyal to each other. She has the only happy marriage that I have ever fucking seen in my life, in fact.
We were at a party, and this woman absolutely would not leave my sister alone. You have probably run into this type of sexual pest; you can find them in many populations. “I’m married” didn’t work on her; she “didn’t believe” in monogamy.
She was so damned relentless that my sister told her to fuck off…and the terfing began. This unbalanced, narcissistic bitch was trans, and got her revenge for the rejection by screeching that my sister was a terf.
It was an LGBT event. EVERYONE reacted explosively and my poor sister started getting intensively questioned. We started screaming BACK at Trans Princess Sociopath to stop bothering married women for sex. Most people backed off and laughed as they realized TPS was way out of line and was pulling the discrimination card when refused. It’s a common asshole tactic, and apparently TPS had a reputation for being an asshole.
That in itself? No reflection on trans women as a whole, there are shitheads in every group like I say regularly. But it was the reaction of most other trans women in the group that really pissed me off. They just took her at her word. And she was fucking LYING.
Anyway, TPS didn’t like being called out for terrible behavior. So she and her handful of friends stormed off for a while, and we were relieved because we thought they were gone. Then they came back and surrounded my sister when she went outside for a smoke. And the biggest member of them started beating her in the face for being a “terf”.
I have PTSD. Everything between when I saw what was happening and when my sister got to the hospital was pretty much told to me by someone else because it’s all a big ugly blur. But it can basically be summed up with “I flipped out, pulled the bastard away on adrenaline strength, covered my sister’s body with mine and started screaming a lot until a bunch of people intervened”. There were cops involved. I don’t know who called them.
We pressed charges. It was that far over the line. We didn’t make any friends in the local trans community in the process, though we would have pressed charges on literally anyone who beat my sister up. They ignored that and the brute’s violence, and decided that my sister and I were terfs.
I had to explain a million times the difference between “anti-trans” and “anti-specific assholes”, until I just got tired of it and stopped trying. It opened my eyes to transactivists’ cult-like behavior and mentality. It also opened my eyes to the real issue: it didn’t matter if my sister accepted trans women as women or not if she wasn’t giving up pussy, if she complained, or if she retaliated against any of them–even in response to violence.
And that is why I am FURIOUSLY protective of lesbians who are being pressured to provide sexual access to people they’re not attracted to, and ostracized and threatened when they refuse. I have come as close to being in their shoes as a straight girl can–close enough at least to genuinely empathize. And until the community stops turning sexual entitlement into a political movement, and rationalizing and denying the behavior of violent creeps like TPS and her thug of a friend, I will remain heavily critical of transactivists.
i have been thinking about ‘pronouns are gendered’ as an argument that ‘he/him lesbians’, ‘she/her gay men’, and any other combination like that is impossible nor ‘valid’. i just realized what exactly made me feel sketchy about it.
its basically right in the statement, ‘pronouns are gendered’. not ‘sexed’. gender is a social construct, sex and biology are not.
language itself is a social construct too and pronouns were always puzzling to me in the matter of grammatical gender. it is more or less easier in english, ‘she’ for females, ‘he’ for males, ‘it’ for everything else. though, not always, use of pronouns was pretty fluid historically and it still changes, like, ‘he’ used to be neutral pronoun. im multilingual and pronouns and gendered words in other languages i speak/know/studied dont make any sense anymore. my native language only has feminine and masculine gender and everything is either ‘feminine’ or ‘masculine’. even more, we have different sets of endings (specifically 6, 3 feminine and 3 masculine) and there are feminine words that technically seem like masculine words, since they share the same ending.
pronouns to me are all inherently based on the concepts of femininity or masculinity, aka its a construct. they are not static in many languages (there are ones where they dont even exist), they flow, they change their meaning and even though in general masculine pronouns are used for biological males and feminine ones for biological females, its not always the case and it is not static.
meanwhile other words, especially technical terms, have strict meaning and they dont exist to fluctuate and are not based on aesthetic. male, female, homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, they are not ‘aesthetic’ terms and they are not inherently ‘gendered’. i mean that they dont refer to ‘masculinity’ and ‘femininity’ the way pronouns or gendered words in languages do, they refer to specific biological and traceable patterns. you cant identify out of your reality. and no amount of hormones will change your biological class, be it sex or sexual orientation.
‘lesbian’ and ‘gay’, though, might be a rather aesthetic terms, unlike ‘homosexual female/male’, but tbh stealing them from gay community is vile. if not to mention that we already see what it led to.
also i have seen people stating that ‘he/him lesbians’ and ‘she/her gay men’ somehow harms both gay and trans people and i dont even get why at this point. what kind of ‘harm’? are you talking about confusing trans and gay? there are enough sources for cishet people to know the difference between two, so its not our responsibility. there are plenty of them who just wont care and wont listen and its just useless and weak to bend over for them. if they cant hear us, its their problem. or, for example, dont you think that having lgb and t in the same acronym also creates confusion? yet, people who are against he/him lesbians and she/her gay men for the sake of ‘clarity’ are first ones who defend ‘t’ when ‘drop the t’ goes around.
besides, i see much more harm in this identity > reality thing. it led to a heck ton of things, like many cishet people think that sex change is possible (which already creates dozens of sub-misconceptions), or, if they are educated enough, they think that we are delusional and mentally ill (no, not in ‘dysphoria is a medical symptom’ thing, but in ‘they live in denial and fake fantasies’ kind of thing).
on posts regarding homosexuality not being fluid, some people often note that ‘maybe your sexuality is fluid, maybe bisexuality is fluid, but homosexuality is not’ and i used to agree, but you know what? enough.
no sexuality is fluid. at all.
homosexuals are born and die homosexuals. heterosexuals are born and die heterosexuals. and bisexuals are born and die bisexuals.
i realize why people might claim that bisexuality can be fluid, but it is not! preferences change, but bisexuality always stays. preferences are fluid, but sexuality is not! same with monosexuals, their preferences change too, but they are still sexuality they were born as.
if not to mention that any kind of ‘sexuality is fluid’ statement can be used as a fallacy to push gay people in het relationships or as a weird overcomplication of things that are not supposed to be complicated in first place. which also breeds plenty of misleading concepts.
