i bet i woulda figured out my gender and some other stuff a lot sooner if i'd ever learned how to think about stuff like themes and metaphors and narrative parallels in stories beyond the most fucking basic ass middle school english class ass surface level. ah, to be a human who can pick up on a subtle but beautiful writing technique without having to be beaten over the head with it

I'd like to ask you what gender narratives you found most compelling in Homestuck!

genuinely i think June/John is one of the most competently & sophisticatedly written trans narratives i’ve ever read. this early line from Homestuck has stayed with me so much that i routinely think about it whilst lying in my bed staring at the ceiling trying to sleep

i think this paragraph has more to say about gender than the entirety of Bechdel’s combined works

Being an asshole is not in the DSM. Not everyone you hate is mentally ill and not everyone who does bad things is mentally ill either.

The DSM is a highly flawed and politicized way to define mental health disabilities that I have a lot of personal gripes with, but even THEY don't have "Shitty Asshole Disease" as a mental illness.

radical statement here but people in red states aren’t subhuman and they don’t deserve to suffer and die because they have shitty state governments
