Ok, things I’ve found in the Mad Max artbook, comics and interviews that shed light on daily life with Immortan Joe and the wives:
- Joe doesn’t actually need his mask. It’s just an air purifier so he doesn’t breathe in dust and gas.
- Cheedo is the youngest, and also the only…

Okay, our discussions on War Boys culture are great, but I don’t think we’re asking the right questions.
What do the Boys do when they’re driving in the desert for a full day on end and you have to use the bathroom?
Are there rest stops?
Are there toilets built into the car seats?
Do lancers just shit off the back of the cars?
These are the real questions, people.

I’ve also been uncomfortable with how much emphasis has been placed on Caitlyn Jenner’s beauty by cis people.
Yes she is beautiful.
But a woman doesn’t have to be beautiful to deserve respect or to be a woman.
And when I see the emphasis being placed on a trans woman’s beauty when she comes out with comments like “wow she really pulled herself together,” it makes me wonder if what my fellow cis people are really saying is “she looks like what I think a woman should look like.” And where does that leave trans women who don’t meet normative (and especially cisnormative) standards of beauty?
I just want to make sure we are celebrating the beauty and worth of all trans women, not just those who are white, famous, and wealthy enough to afford any form of physical transition they desire. And that as cis people we’re being self-critical of the ways we think and speak about trans people.

I think a lot of people have trouble understanding transgender issues because they try to see themselves as trans, but come at it from the wrong direction. i.e. a cis woman tries to understand transness by going, “what if I felt like/wanted to be a man” when she should be approaching it as “what if I, a woman, was so easily mistaken for a man that I had to pretend to be one”,
And I think this is something to keep in mind and to explain away when trying to get these matters across to people who’re new to the idea.
i genuinely never thought of it that way but dang this makes a ton of sense now
thismposst is the one that made me get it
