Just so like... it's clear... anyone who censors words that contain "man" or "men" to anything like "xxn" that's TERF shit.

Any reference to women/womanhood that solely revolves around having a uterus or "womb" is TERF shit.

Any sentence where the OP says they support people being "trans identified" with quotes around ""transwomen"" or ""transmen"" is TERF shit.

I'm seeing a lot of you baby Tumblr gays out there not knowing what these specific TERF dogwhistles look like.

"Wombxxn" is an incredibly dumb way of spelling "woman" that treats the word "man" like a slur and also reduces women to their ability to give birth.

"Trans identified" is their way of saying "this person calls themselves trans, but I don't believe they are."

Saying "People should be allowed to identify however they wish, but we still need to protect women/children" IS TERF SHIT.

Learn to identify this garbage, because not all TERFs are going to spell out their intolerance for you. Some of them are going to try and seem reasonable and polite and normal, and it's fucking dangerous to our community.

Also unpack any internalized transphobia and your transmedicalism, because both those things will have you quickly siding with TERFs and bigots.

Reminder that T doesn't make you more violent.

Reminder demonizing masculinity isn't good, for anybody.

Reminder that excluding trans mascs and trans men out of your discussions of trans issues is bad, actually.

Reminder that you shouldn't expect trans men to be "man but better", not bc of their identity as a man, but because of their classification as a human being and a complex being capable of both good and evil.

Reminder that bioessentialism is bad. Always.

Happy Day of the Dead!

[ash-sword-06]

In a truck stop bathroom washing my hands today and 2 boys, looked about 5 and 9, came in with their little sister who looked maybe 2. The following whispered conversation made my entire day

"We have to wait, there's a lady in here!"

"That's not a lady, he has a mustache! We can be in here!"

"Some ladies have mustaches! And she has boobs!"

"Well some guys have boobs! Like Uncle Jake!"

"Uncle Jake is fat!"

At this point I could not contain a chuckle and both whirled around with identical looks of panic on their faces. I smiled and said "it's alright for you guys to be in here so your sister has help, don't worry. And I'm both! That's why I have boobs and a mustache. Some folks are just built that way"

(In unison) "Ooooooh!"

(older boy) "So do you use Sir or Ma'am or both?"

"Both, but I prefer Sir"

"Cool! Well thanks Sir! We have to help our sister now!"

This was in a small town country truck stop and both boys had "Murica" type stuff on and neither of them had any issue at all with these concepts. Their mom approached me while I was in line about 10 minutes later and apologized for them bothering me in the bathroom (they had told her about the interaction) and she and I had a lovely little chat too. I got to introduce her to the term "intersex" and her reply was "I think I've heard of that before! I didn't know that was the word for it. Amazing how many different ways God can make people!"

Sometimes the world is good. More often than you might think, if you give it a chance. It's not all bad loves <3

we alternate whether Sam, Sebastian, or both of them are disabled anytime we're writing sambastian. we can't bear to write a story that doesn't include at least one physically disabled character so it's always present, and we embrace them both in cathartic ways

a chronically ill Sebastian who uses a metallic purple cane, to try and help teach himself to be visibly disabled even in public places. he finds joy in the shiny colour of it, and it's a good reason to use a cane that's his favourite colour. he's kind to himself, and tries not to push himself too far, but oftentimes he's so adjusted to his daily pain and fatigue that he doesn't even notice he's pushing himself until it's too late. he'll cry out of frustration at being forced to stay home a day or three to rest, but still he'll lay in bed or watch movies with Sam to avoid pushing himself. he's open about his disability, referencing it early if people can't see his cane outright, because he has so little energy that he refuses to spend his time with people who won't care about his well-being

Sam we instead characterize as restless and almost in denial of how bad things are - not quite, he does know how bad his flare ups get, but he'll sometimes choose to ignore it and accept the consequences of it getting worse later. there are times that he'd rather saddle his future self with extra pain if his present self can skate when it's a nice day for it, even if the energy isn't quite there. he struggles to use a variety of mobility aids because they tempt him to leave them behind, but when he leaves the house in a wheelchair he puts focus on the ways in which it helps him. he's still in the midst of coping with it all, still unfamiliar with how to grieve the type of life he no longer has access to, and so sometimes he ignores his own needs in desire of the blissful ignorance of forgetting about it for a few hours. he's getting better at things, he's learning to listen to his body when it asks him to stop, but he's still figuring it out. it's hard

when both together disabled sambastian, they are tired and aching in tandem. they trade bad days when possible to help when one of them is feeling better than the other - Seb will push Sam's wheelchair since it helps keep his balance, and Sam never lets his boyfriend leave the house without his cane. some days they lay together exhausted, thankful that the other understands them and is comfortable with spending an entire day resting. even on days when they both stay home, unable to so much as reach their boyfriend's house, they sit in voice chats or sync the music they listen to or simply text in between hyperfixated distractions so that they don't feel so alone
