Blackout poetry exists on a dual axis from "banal" to "insightful" on the input side and "kind of deep" to "incredibly fucking dumb" on the output side, and while taking something banal and producing something kind of deep is well and fine, for my money taking something insightful and rendering it incredibly fucking dumb is where the real art is.

Decided to fix some transphobic posts @fixing-bad-posts style. I find it the most therapeutic thing I can do when I run into transphobia in the wild. I put image descriptions in the alt text. Note: the “try testosterone” post was screenshotted on a different post and I edited that post screenshotted it.

All photos used are my own, image descriptions in alt text.

the internet is great because a conservative will spent a significant chunk of time writing an in-depth, essay-style post about how transgender people are ruining the world and going to hell when they die and then someone screenshots it, covers up parts of it and posts it to tumblr so it just says "trans is s wa g"

I sent the original to @fixing-bad-posts but they usually do Tumblr posts so I thought I'd do my own

trans is our Nation's blessing

What reg's letter really said

Ladies, gentlemen, frogs, queers, queens, kings, monarchs, entities, wizards, gays, slays, faes, racecars, taco cats, Bob, those who transcend gender and material labels, ikea furniture, all of the above, and other, I present to you, the final form of regulus black's letter to the dark lord...
