  • Another reply acting like this is a dumb thing to remind people. Maybe I’m dumb too.

    But we used to have a fan that blew air across the bed. Husband loved it, I hated the feeling of air moving across me and would be buried under blankets to avoid it.

    After a medical procedure he was sleeping in a recliner for a few weeks while he healed.

    I adjusted the fan and ceiling fan so they move air around the whole room, just not directly across the bed. I can sleep without barriers for air tickles, we get the white noise benefit, and the room feela cooler. It works for him too this way when he’s in there and keeps him cool enough (I’ve asked)

    Before that I had just assumed you had to be directly in front of a fan to get the benefits, especially when it’s too hot outside for the AC to work effectively.

    JP’s tweet heavily implied he would react violently or argue with someone to their face if they say “cis” to him. The response implies JP would, in fact, do neither. JP would instead scurry off with maybe a mean glance and then whine for an hour from the safety of his podcast.

    The response to JP is making fun of false bravado, toxicity, and whatever the word is for people that take everything as a personal insult - even a simple fact that JP is a cis man.

    Granted, some people can deliver obvious facts in a tone that can draw blood. And some facts do cut into insecurities really deep.

    But JP, based on his rhetoric should not be hurt or insulted by being cis. He is instead angry about people existing that are trans and threatening violence over a word.

    So no, I don’t think this is mocking men having or showing real feelings. It’s mocking the talk-tough toxicity that gets pushed to cover genuine emotions.
