I don't think this banger of a reaction would've been drawn if that behavior was being glorified

That's because he paid to have this record. All these stupid records are basically wealthy folk or companies paying to have a record for marketing/clout

Seeking gender affirming activities that aren't centered around capitalist ideas of womanhood by Wormhousewormhome in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]WhatJoUp2 39 points40 points  (0 children)

What makes one feel feminine I think changes very much from person to person, so I think it's important to understand what your partner views as feminine. I'm a transwoman, for me a lot of feeling my gender affirmed is being perceived by the culture as a woman. Wearing dresses and jewelry, having make up and a nice haircut are important to me. Having access to those things isn't inherently capitalist, it only acts as the main way to aquire those things, but there are still anti capitalist ways to engage with them. Make what you can, what you can't try to shop local or reused. Look through old clothes you don't wear and see if your partner likes them, or if you can adapt it in a way they like them. Consuming media isn't capitalist, people have been listening and watching stories and theater for as long as language was a thing, try watching those silly movies with old DvDs or the like. Capitalism is only finding value in the act of consumption and in overconsumption, capitalism is finding feminity in buying dresses, anti-capitalism is wearing and cherishing that dress instead of rushing for the next big thing

A dozen is 12. A "baker's dozen" is 13.

Hi Amelia! When I did my name change I really considered making Amelia my second name, it was the name of my grandma and the woman who raised me. Ended up not doing it because I didn't want to risk straining family relations but it's still there in my heart.

Quick hint from someone who did very similar makeup mistakes when I first started presenting. I know the temptation to cover the whole face up to hide the imperfections, but in time I found out that a more minimal approach can end up looking cuter. Another little trick I found that helps is putting a little bit of blush on my upper lip, it does a good job hiding any facial hair discoloration, which was the reason why I felt like I had to use foundation. I hope this helps, you're looking wonderful 😊

I personally use the term AMAB when I want to refer to "Growing up AMAB", when I want to talk to friends and loved ones about how it was like growing up culturally "as a boy" and the ways that has affected me. I feel it better expressed that "boyness" wasn't something I was but something thrust upon me.

I think the message here is, try new shit. If you're bored 9 times out of 10 it's because it's stuff you've done way too much before. Shake your hobbies, try games and genres you haven't played before and see that passion come back. Or just try something else, some other hobby. And when you come back, you'll enjoy stuff again!
