#As someone who isn't cis

Shout-out to feminine-presenting transmen, you deserve love

Shout-out to masculine-presenting transwomen, you deserve love

Gender isn't a firm box. Fuck gender roles, long live gender identity

It's insane how Pei Ming slutted his way through life and slutted it up even more once ascended, banging mortal, god, ghost, and demon alike yet he managed to be known as The God of Love. People wish STDs upon his hoe ass and STILL pray to him for luck with romance. Meanwhile one unfortunate government mandated typo and poor Feng Xin is forever known as Thick Dick Daddy 27. Like how is that fair.

unwarranted Cis Opinion but I'm getting really uncomfortable w people responding to bathroom bills by posting pictures of trans men like DO YOU WANT THEM IN WOMEN'S BATHROOMS

bc like. no they're men. they should be in men's bathrooms unless that feels unsafe. but. it really feels like it's not helpful to lean into the idea that seeing someone presenting masc or being read as a man in a women's bathroom means You're In Danger.

like I know several butch women and NB ppl who are really scared around being on T or getting top surgery bc they're not men and they don't want to be in the men's bathroom, and in that circumstance stuff like growing facial hair or reading more androgynously can be really fucking scary when people are being primed by propaganda to be on edge and hyperreactive to anyone who doesn't look like their idea of a Cis Woman.

and I'm not laying that at the feet of the people saying "hey uhhhh trans men are men and don't belong in women's bathrooms" bc it is not their fault. it's the fault of a concerted effort to make it difficult and dangerous to be trans or substantively gender nonconforming in public.

but at the same time idk I guess it just worries me cause sometimes it feels like "you fools! you are worried about this group of trans people bc you think they're the Lurking Danger of Men In Bathrooms? WRONG! the Men Making You Feel Afraid In Bathrooms are actually THESE trans people!" when in fact neither of those groups using the fucking bathroom is a problem. just piss and mind your business. people need to go where they need to go.

anyway this country is a hot fucking trash fire that somehow accelerates its descent into open fascism more every day so it's all super good and normal. so don't take this too seriously tbh cause it's somewhere near #2535654476457899009765 on the list of priorities for Queer Discourse right now when the fucking human rights commission is actively rescinding protections from trans people. Please ignore my gibberish.

yeah you're allowed to "have preferences" or whatever the shit but if you treat people like ticking time bombs because they've got a penis I think you should really re-examine where that's coming from and idk, grow up a little

[bunnyboy-juice]

im begging people to turn on the post dates for your feed bc sometimes i see ppl rb advice with good intentions but the advice is from 2010-2017 and therefore is WILDLY outdated!!!! and that's not good!!!!!

[ai-the-broccoli]

it's something I've thought about for a short while, but...

transmasc and/or nonbinary Hotori Yuzuki . is this anything

(I say into the mic, to an audience of like barely anyone really though, there are so few posts in hotori's character tags)

[tirfpikachu]

i guess while you're studying the blade i shall protect dysphoric people in my humongous blanket full of secrets and treasures and awesome foreign snacks that i totally bought with real money

[rabbithaver]

listen i will always support the idea that being mean to complete strangers based on their appearance is bad actually.

like yeah the patriarchy sucks and should totally be dismantled! but how the fuck is being an asshole to individual people because of a trait they can't help going to like... do that? you don't know shit about kevin on the street corner. you have no idea if he's a feminist or not. all you know about kevin is that he fits your definition of what a man looks like.

frankly i think there's a lot of "leftists" out there who just want there to be a group it's okay to lash out at because they're scared

stumbled across this rly old doodle from 2019 and had the sudden urge to redraw for some reason. i think i've improved since then haha

anyway, trans rights!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

(good lord we need em so badly)

ugh, i can't indulge in my man-hating as deeply as i want to on here. i'll find blogs that resonate with my beliefs towards them, scroll 4 posts down and find out they're a transphobe. and as much as i despise men, i cannot bring myself to hate trans people. i'm sure there are toxic mtf trans people who haven't unlearned their male entitlement, who want to continue hurting women by invading female spaces, but this group as a whole faces their own oppression and are not the sources and upholders of patriarchy.

unlike cis men who are by and large all bad, it's a demographic that actually requires our discernment to not exclude and hurt those who don't mean us harm. we should be critical of cis women too, who we all know are not innocent by default since a huge chunk of them choose to love and support men and their heinous behavior. and even then, i am willing to be understanding (to a point) since i understand patriarchal brainwashing is a hell of a fucking drug that usually takes some kind of trauma to wake up from.

"It's not dysphoria" I say as I write an entire assignment on my own invisible queerness and gender identity, and as I feel like tearing my skin off and crawling into a cave forever

[grimark]

not that anybody asked but i do think terms like "cis+" or "cisn't", which i've seen thrown around in relation to the prev post, are a bit unnecessary. to me, it just seems like excessively atomising a fairly common experience, which is the desire to not be subject to the more uncomfortable and restrictive aspects of socially constructed gender roles. and sure, it might never even occur to a lot of cis people to do this kind of introspective analysis of their gender identities, and they might therefore be lacking some of the additional perspective of someone who has, but i don't think we necessarily need need a special new category for it. when you get down to it, "cis person who has previously questioned their gender" and "cis person who has never felt the need to question their gender" are both still cis, which in theory is a value-neutral description and a perfectly fine thing to be.

There's something so specifically infuriating when someone uses one of your experiences or your demographic in an argument, especially if said argument is about spreading hatred or is just so wrong. They "speak on behalf of the ___" to say such fucked shit.

"You're not thinking of the ___!"

"I literally am ___. You saying that adds nothing as you do not speak for me or for other ___. Shut up."

[maburito]

Been so long since I saw dumbass on this website that I thought they had gone extinct but clearly not
