  • Transgender people often (wrongly) get their gender identity conflated with their sexuality. Transphobes already have a visceral reaction to a transgender person, so those feelings automatically extend to how they see a transgender person’s sexuality. And as others have mentioned they may be projecting their own perversions on other people. They have an unhealthy view of sexuality in general, which may be the origin for their transphobia aswell.

    When I came out to my mother as transgender she had a hard time dealing with it. She seemed to have a weird fixation with my sexuality and sexual orientation whenever I tried to educate her on the subject, even after I explained to her that sexuality and sexual orientation is not related to my transgender identity.

    My mom has always been a prude when it came to raising her boys and constantly would police our vocabulary and sexual jokes. But she had no issues making jokes and comments about my sexuality when I came out to her as a transgender woman. So I can only assume she had unresolved issues with the way she sees sexuality in a way that it makes her uncomfortable and she was projecting her own perversions and unhealthy view of sexuality onto my transgender identity. Because to her why else would I transition if not for my sexual perversions, since that’s the only way she can see world.

    On a side note, ever since I started my transition I pretty much stopped watching porn all together. I masturbate less and my mind isn’t constantly fixated on sex and I’m able to experience the world through a much healthier lense. When I’m attracted to someone now, I’m not distracted by my sexual impulses as much and I’m much better able to connect with them as a person. So in short, embracing my transgender identity has dramatically decreased my uncontrolled sexual impulses. So when people paint us as some sort of deviant perverts, it’s actually quite the opposite and nothing could be further from the truth. Not to mention, our sexuality is only a sliver of our transgender identity and we don’t care for strangers making it a focus.








  • You see, Trump has to come out and openly say he is building a fascist regime and fly swastikas and call it the fourth Reich. These people have a reduced cartoonish understanding of history and political and economic systems. So unless reality matches their cartoonish notions then it doesn’t count. And even then they will be twisting themselves into knots trying to explain how it’s not ackchually fascism same as people are doing now with denying Elon Musk doing a very clear nazi salute


  • If nobody has mentioned this to you yet, use a high gluten flour (pizza flour) which hovers at around 11-14% gluten I think. This allows to make dough with really high hydration. Experiment with seeing whats the minimum amount of flour you can add to the water before it stops being liquid. (Make sure sure you are kneading a lot, dough can appear liquid but it could be the gluten wasn’t worked enough yet) Once you find that limit work closely to that range. As others have said here, activate the yeast with warm water and sugar, you can probably get away with adding more yeast than you think. Make sure that bitch is foaming. Let it sit in a warm environment for it to grow. And when you stretch it out, us minimal flour, again let it sit in a warm environment to let it grow. You can spray water on top of it while it sits to keep it from crusting
