petition-please help UK trans people!

hi tumblr-the conservative party is back at it again. 

currently, the GRA (gender recognition act) says to transition “legally”, trans people have to: 

 get two diagnoses of gender dysphoria (including one from an NHS gender clinic, which have a 2-3 year wait time currently), 

prove you have lived as your chosen gender for 2 years, 

swear to live the remainder of your life as such

and  do all of this in front of a “gender recognition panel”, a process which is very humiliating and largely depends on people deciding if you are “trans enough”. 

in 2018, the idea was put on the table to progress the rights of transgender people in the UK. Including: 

 allowing them to self identify as their chosen gender (including 16 & 17 year olds, who have previously been denied the right to)

demedicalising the transition progress, no doctors would need to diagnose gender dysphoria to transition.

removing the cost to have your gender legally recognised

allow non-binary identities to be recognised

it has recently been leaked that the current government has scrapped these ideas [source  source]. Our equality minister, Liz Truss, is horribly transphobic and wishes to backpedal on the few rights we have. 

trans people have said for years that the GRA is outdated and in need of reform, and have had the tiny ray of hope that it may be changed ripped out from under us behind closed doors. 

petitions on the parliament website are legally obligated to be responded to at 10k signatures and have to be debated in parliament at 100k signatures. 

only british citizens can sign this, but if you are not from the uk, please boost it so your british followers can see!

thank you-and fuck the tories ✌🏳‍🌈

✋ everyone sign this and signal boost  ✋

Hey Everyone, It’s Shelly! I have a few things to get of my chest and I felt like this could be a good place to do so.

As many of you know or you may not, I made a petition last month calling for The Sims™ Team to fix the issue with the darker skin-tones in the game. I am making this post just to share my overall frustration with the franchise and as a creator as a whole. 

The Sims 4™ has been out since 2014. In that time we have had many patches and updates to the base game and yet after 6 (going on 7) years we still have YET to fix the skin-tone issue that we have had from the start. It is so hard to find accurate representation in this game. Sad to say this doesn’t just happen in The Sims™. The gaming community as a whole puts black and brown characters on the back burner and when it comes to character creation they will have a plethora of options for paler characters but then they will throw in one token black hair and call it a day. If these gaming companies truly care about inclusivity then they should be taking the steps to SHOW it. It really upsets me that The Sims™, in particular prides itself of creativity and diversity but have yet to live up to their beliefs fully. 

This next part isn’t a callout or me “coming” for anyone, but I have to make this example to show you all what I mean. 

Xmiramira is a prominent figure in the gaming community, she is a wonderful black gamer who has been playing sims for years. Mira called The Sims™ out for their lack of skin-tones several years ago and even went out of her way to make more skin-tones and colors for us black and brown players called the Melanin Pack. She did this in 2016 and here we are in 2020 and the base game colors have still not improved. Recently another YouTuber (who is great in her own right) made the request to have the ability to nickname cowplants. This feature wasn’t necessarily needed but yet in the latest patch to the game we now have the ability to do so. The only reason I am mentioning this is to point out how the The Sims™ Team doesn’t prioritize the things that players are asking for. It’s just really sad to see that a game that so many of us love not have the representation that we need. 

As a black creators we have to work twice as hard to get half as far. Even me as a black custom content creator, I don’t get as much recognition as my peers and to be honest, the black and p.o.c creators are some of the best in this community. This isn’t saying that our white peers aren’t great, but all I am saying is that you can see that there is a clear divide.

I hope that one day we can see a change. We shouldn’t have to rely on CC and Petitions to get the game that we deserve. If you all are looking for more skin-tones I made a list in one of my previous post. Here is a LINK for those interested.

If you read this whole thing, Thank You! Sincerely Shelly.

Everyone send in some prompts !

Ask box is open!

Hi, we’re going to be trying something new on the blog which is to do individual prompts! We’re going to be using a system similar to the commission style (emphasis on style, we are not charging, I promise) slots where each member can have some open slots that people can request a prompt from! Once somebody’s slots fill up, they won’t accept any more prompts. Your prompt will then be answered only by that member.

Here is a link to everyone taking part in these individual prompts. Each member has listed some likes and dislikes, aka prompts they’d be happy to do and some things that they might not want to. That way you can find the right person to do your prompt. Just remember to include the name of the member in your ask!

Please note that we won’t be taking any regular prompts right now. If you have a prompt, we ask you to send it to an individual from the list. Thank you!

We hope to receive your prompts soon :-) - s4ccfaves gang

Anyone wanna play with me ?

sweet switch- a little challenge for you and a friend

i was thinking… how fun would it be if i got a friends sim, and put them in my game? but in addition, dress them and do things like their makeup and go and actually proceed to make an edit like i normally do but with their sim! i thought the concept seemed pretty interesting. so i was like… why not share this little idea?

general consensus of this challenge; find a friend as a partner or just ask a mutual if you can have a sim of theirs and dress, do their cosmetics (if it applies) change their hairstyle, or even change their hair from mm to alpha or vice versa. and proceed to make an edit in your normal editing style. or just your standard post style! a little note: don’t change actual genetics of the sim! just 2 be nice yanno :)

but anyways i think that’s it! i hope to actually see people doing this so if you do feel free to tag me in your post(s)! 💛🧡🍯
