#I'm transing everyone's genders this is a THREAT

[autisticrosewilson]

Heart to Heart

More transfem Grant and angst! Chronologically, this happens before my first excerpts. OOC slide because this is an au where he sucks less. Well. He sucks differently than he did before.

~~~~~~~~~~

Someone is following her. Has been for a while, and they're good enough that she hasn't caught a glimpse of them yet.

Greta scans the crowd but no one is ever looking at her, there's no telltale glint from any of the rooftops. She steers clear of every visible security camera but the feeling never lessens.

Their gaze is a prickle up her spine, and no matter how many times she changes her routine or her route home she can never seem to lose the tail.

In the end, the man finds her before she finds him.

"So how mad is he?" She can't meet the eyes of that mask, doesn't want to see what's reflected at her from the blank white lens.

"He's not-" Deathstroke starts but it's two AM and she is so very tired of looking over her shoulder and policing her own every move, lest she make an even bigger mess for herself.

"Of course not," she scoffs, "never mad, just disappointed." Greta quotes. "Always so disappointed." She glares at the sticky tile that's been bothering her all night, but that was the day shifts job and she's firmly refusing to pick up their slack.

"...He loves you." Is what the mercenary says after a moment of silence, gruff and quiet.

It catches her off guard enough that she looks at him. "You don't know that." Is the first thing out of her mouth, before she'even had a chance to process the thought.

"I do." He insists. "You're his oldest, you were the first one he loved."

"Did he tell you that?" She snorts, derisive and on edge.

Jarringly, he doesn't hesitate like she thinks he should. "Yes. He's told me a lot about you."

"..." She stops short, pursing her lips for a moment.

"... He's more sorry than he'll ever admit to you. He's not good with his words, but he wishes he made more of an effort. You deserved it. He'll never run out of things to apologize for to you. He just... doesn't know how to make it right." It's word vomit, desperate and nonsensical. Greta can hardly recognize it as a language she speaks.

Slade? Sorry? As if. She says as much, and the Terminator just sighs.

It's quiet for a while.

"He used to tell me stories about you." She says eventually. Deathstroke perks up, and she almost wants to giggle over how puppy like the gesture is. "I- I didn't know you actually existed, I just thought you were a hero he made up. I thought...that was what he wanted me to be. Like you. Like him. Like a man. " She runs a hand through her messy curls, undoubtedly making the tangles worse. "I tried," her voice breaks embarrassingly, "I was never the son he wanted. I don't want to be his son anymore. Never took him as much of a girl dad though." She sniffles, suddenly glad for the smudge proof mascara she splurged on last week.

Deathstroke looks...lost, hands hovering like he wants to help but isn't sure how. Now ain't that fucked up? She's so pitiful the contract killer thinks she needs help.

Maybe she should start therapy.

"He's an idiot. The biggest fucking moron that's ever lived, and he never deserved you." It's scornful, far too malicious for someone talking about the man who's paying him.

"Careful, he might take that out of your paycheck." She snorts.

He doesn't dignify that with a response. "His number is still the same, if you ever decide to give him another chance. Not that he deserves one." He adds. "But... I think he's more amenable to having a daughter than you might expect."

Greta shifts uncomfortably, tries to subtly wipe her nose and knows she failed miserably When he hands her a tissue, not that she has a clue where he might have gotten it. "I'll keep that in mind." It's not like she hasn't thought about calling before. Or just showing up at their doorstep and seeing how they react. Or sending them a post card or a magnet or something when she travels. Joey would like that, she thinks.

"Weird question but do you like, keep an eye on my brother too...?" She asks him out of the blue.

"Naturally." He admits easily.

"Is he safe?"

"As he can be."

"...is he happy?"

"..."

Greta braces herself against the counter with a wary sigh. "He's mad at me, isn't he?" She wouldn't blame him.

"Why would he be mad at you? He adores you." D assures her.

She shakes her head. "I left him there. I left him there with Slade knowing that if I'm not there he's got no one else to smack around. I left him there with both of them and their dumpster fire relationship. In that awful fuckin house with the nosey neighbors and their vicious kids."

She grips her hair to steady herself.

D is tense across from her, so still Greta bets he isn't even blinking. "He would never hit Joey."

"Course not, just me, right? Poor stupid Grant, never smart enough or strong enough or stoic enough or happy enough. Never fucking good enough." She wants to break something, wants to curl up and cry somewhere. She's starkly aware that she's at work right now.

"...You are so much better than anything he could have made you." He says softly.

She stares vacantly at the counter between them. "I don't think I would have survived what he wanted me to be. I think I would have killed myself trying to be like him and I don't think it would even matter. Sometimes I wonder if he wishes I had, and then he wouldn't have to deal with how ashamed he is of me."

Her fingers dig into her arms hard enough to bruise and the metal counter creaks when Deathstroke mimics the motion, leaving indents of his fingers.

"He never wanted you dead. He loves you so much it hurts to think about." He insists and Greta can't imagine why he's even bothering.

"Good thing I'm not around anymore then, out of sight and out of mind. He can go back to pretending he only has one kid without my constant vexing presence." She drawls bitterly.

D just sighs and it sounds so very tired. "...I'm not here to convince you to go back-"

"Could've fooled me." She sniffles.

"-just think about it." He pleads with her.

She doesn't manage more than a nod before she abruptly decides that this is enough vulnerability for the night, and maybe the rest of her life. Her eyes ache, her face is blotchy and red, her dollar store eyeliner is probably smeared beyond being salvaged. She kicks him out and spends the next fifteen minutes in the bathroom trying to make herself look a little more the strong independent adult she's been trying to become.

The house looks the same as it did the night she ran away. There's a noticeable absence of Joey's toys in the yard that makes her chest ache, the yellow paint is starting to chip, the garden looks too wild and ecologically diverse to be HOA approved.

Things must have gotten bad after she left, for mom to let it get like this.

With a lump in her throat, she approaches the door. It's the most notable difference, the same shade of white as the old one, but it's thicker, the lock so advanced as to be out of place in the gated neighborhood, and there's no windows - just an almost hidden security camera staring at her imposingly.

Her fingers barely brush the doorbell before the door is being flung open.

Greta freezes. There's a girl. 13 or 14, brown skin and eyes. And white hair. Distantly she's aware of shouting in the background, slowly getting closer.

She walks away. She registers the shouts of her name at about the same time she slams the door shut. She floors it, tires squealing on asphalt and probably leaving nasty tracks for Susan to gawk at.

A lot of things have changed since she left, saw wad prepared for that. She's changed to. She's got a science degree. She's legally cha get her name. She's been on HrT for almost 4 years.

Joey's mute. Mom lives in New York.

And Slade has a daughter. A daughter who looks nothing like mom. A daughter too old to have happened after the divorce.

Fuck him. Fuck them both. How could he- why would he- it doesn't- she can't-

Her phone is ringing, despite the fact she put it on DND. She knows who it is without looking, and she just barely refrains herself from launching the damn thing out the window. She'll do it once she gets on the highway, so D can't try to bring it back to her like a cat with a dead mouse.

Passing the Welcome sign feels the same way it did when she was 16 and too stupid to know what she was doing. Like she's lost. Like an ending. Like missed calls and lonely nights and nightmares with no one to put her back to bed.

At least she has a car this time.

[nerves-nebula]

i feel sooo sick haha like. what words am i allowed to use for my oppression as a trans masculine person, genuinely. how am i supposed to express the intersection of the systemic misogyny i face with my transness cuz despite it being an intersection of transphobia and misogyny we can't really use transmisogyny (which is reasonable. Like, i get it, that'd be confusing and that term wasn't made with us in mind) but like. where IS the term made with us in mind? where's one that hasn't been run into the ground by people who take it in bad faith?

where's the terms and theories made by us about our place in and outside the gender binary and how we're a threat to it that society hates, where's those theories that are taken seriously by other trans people! and if they exist outside of a few rambling tumblr blogs then why haven't i seen them.

every time i see a term coined to address my specific set of intersections people absolutely HATE it because they hate the idea that anything even vaguely masculine could be the point of oppression. i'm not even a man, i've got no affiliation with men, i've got tits and a beard. people call me she and her every day. there is like bare bones nothing for me.

every day i see people insist over and over that terfs and transphobes don't target us, that they never targeted butches, that because in some places girls can have short hair we're prolly just fine. as if terfs and transphobes don't use "mutilated little girls" as a talk point and see us as traitors and try to correctively rape us- as if they don't want us as dead as everyone else just because you don't pay attention when they say they do.

andd like. nobody gives a shit??? about us?? ever??? about our rates of rape and suicide?? about our reproductive rights?? we are almost always an afterthought and our terminology is ridiculed mercilessly or we're called "afabs" and told we're trying to talk over transfeminine experiences even when we're actively trying to point out the similarities between different kinds of trans peoples lives! i see myself in you and you can't see me as anything but an annoying "afab" whining hysterically??!!!! how is that not misogyny??? cuz i've got a beard????

AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW WHITE PEOPLE FACTOR INTO THIS.

and i go on here and see all these posts that are trying to be progressive about shit but do it by separating us into afab and amab and insisting that our experiences are just SO DIFFERENT. its miserable. i am miserable. it's so isolating.

[runthepockets]

I think transness is seen as a subculture more often than not, at least by white trans people, which is really.....fascinating to see as a black person. Growing up my politics were always shaped by an indisputable aspect of my identity that I couldn't shirk off or hide. Compare this to my transness, which I can easily hide or cast aside whenever I want (and very much do on multiple occassions.) This might be part of why white trans people get a little too involved and touchy about LGBT representation and politics and whatnot, they never really had that culture or pre-existing, immutable experience of marginalization like I did, so every microaggression feels like the end of the world cus institutional corruption and violence hasn't shaped their worldview like it has for a lot of the rest of us. Their identities are important and they should be allowed to celebrate them, don't get me wrong, but it's all latteral and circumstancial. A white trans guy will experience less scrutiny if he passes, I also experience a lot less scrutiny for my choice to abide by traditional male gender roles, but I'm probably always going to experience some level of scrutiny cus of my skin.

I think this is also why some more fringe folks see things like wanting SRS or to go on hormones as "becoming an assimilationist", or "selling out". They engage with transness the same way they would a music subculture, they see "wanting to make changes to your beautiful natural transgender body (garden variety transphobia but use a bunch of emotionally provocative language to make it radical, this time)" the same way Punks see Kim Kardashian wearing that stupid luxury Crust Punk jacket, which are two completely different experiences entirely. But they don't have anything better to do or talk about, so they're dickriding other trans people about it.

There's cliquey things about black culture too but, I find them less relevant the more I age, and less hurtful the more I see other black people as human and not one dimensional bullies in cartoons, or the biggest immediate threats on my person like white supremacist society tried to socialize me into believing. Like, no one calls me an Oreo for liking rock music anymore, no one thinks me a "sellout" for just naturally being a nerd who calls out anime moves when jumping off the couch when we have, like, Candace Owens and Umar Johnson types to worry about. I don't think white trans people have quite had the same revelations yet. And, ykno, everyone goes at a different pace and being trans is pretty scary rn, but damn. It's really not that hard to just mellow out and think logically instead of reacting on every kneejerk. There's cool people, there's assholes, there's people in your circles that you're gonna like and people you're gonna hate. It's the human condition. You're not special.

[trans-advice]

Not me taking gender identity quizzes and smiling like a lunatic every time a quiz correctly genders me as male. I even had a quiz assume I was cisgender male and I almost died of happiness. Is that wrong for me to feel that way? I feel like I'm invalidating my trans identity.

First of all your gender identity is valid. You are the one who gets the vote because you are the only one who has to be you 24/7 for your entire lifetime. Your gender identity is a "male". Screw the gatekeepers!

Gender affirmation art etc is meant to combat the gaslighting committed against us by cisnormative racial capitalist patriarchy. (The methods they've used against us are horrendous & I'd trigger myself if I brought them up.) People sharing affirmations, etc, is meant to help people with fewer spoons (such as fatigue from stereotype threat & minority stress) to be able to have things they do. Point being is, you were already affirming to yourself, you're just getting help from others in getting things to ground yourself with. Screw the gaslighters!

Second of all, demographics are not monoliths, and there's diversity among, to use your specific case, males, both cis & trans. Demographics are different from relationships are different from communities are different from leadership are different from activists. Point being, the reference points are obviously not going to include everyone.

Thirdly, gender euphoria & happiness are awesome, take it where you can get it. If you feel awkward about where you're getting it from, then look for more sources. I do sense you're feeling some alienation from these quizzes so I'm going to explore that now.

Gender identity are not to do with gender (non)conformity. Trans vs cis to do with whether your gender identity matches the one that was assigned/designated for you. A personality quiz should only ask your assigned gender at birth if they're going to gauge your transness or cisness, and based on what you're saying it seems the quizzes are conflating transness & gender nonconformity together, so based on what you're saying I get what you mean by thinking that they might be doing a micro aggression of thinking trans is gender-lite and cis is gender-full strength.

You then ask whether you should feel as if you're turning your back on the trans community for this gender affirmation? My answer would be no. However, for purposes of operating as a community, I think discussing say toxic/settler masculinity with say communal/decolonial/decarceral masculinity would be something to explore. But I would also say this would be on the basis of ethics instead of saying what gender identity you are. Screw the bosses of racial capitalist patriarchy!

TLDR: if you think you aren't supporting the trans community enough, then seek out opportunities to be with trans people & even lgbtqia+ people. Misgendering yourself does not support the community.

Good Luck, Peace & Love,

Eve

Hell yeah! Would love to hear about your ocs!

Oh damn, I was dead for a while, and didn't realize there's such a demand. Alright anon, for you, I'll share some. I have way too many to list all of them, but here's the most used ones. I don't think I'll post pictures yet because I'm very selective on where I post art I commission, but maybe later. Posted under read more because of length.

Leona MacAonghis - My first ever vorish OC, and has a special place in my heart. She's a goliath fighter that started as a D&D character but later got used on other things, and I am in the process of trying to write a story featuring her. She's a typical excitable young hero that tries to do good and help everyone, even if her appetite often gets in the way. Her mentor is extremely disapproval of predators so she couldn't develop her natural abilities when studying under him, but he eventually accepts that part of her, and after she strikes off on her own she starts to train her very high vorish potential too. Physically, she's 2.75 meters (9 legs) tall, with fair skin, green eyes and a red ponytail. Her body type is muscular and curvy with healthy amounts of body fat, and like most of my OCs she has sharp teeth because why not.

Seraph - Lazily named seraph oc, the excuse is that her true name is impossible for mortals to comprehend. She's para-causal in nature and her true form can't exist in the material world, but she can interact with the material realm through an avatar body she creates. She has no physical sex, but chooses to present herself and identify as female. Seraph serves a deity that spends most of it's time in solitude, minding it's own business, so most of the work managing it's realm of creation falls onto her and her fellow celestials. After several billion years of service in the highest planes, she eventually got bored, and curiosity drives her to explore the universe, where she learned from the entities and phenomena she encounters. Most of all she gains an appreciation for mortals, and yearns to understand them, and get close to them in any way she can. She ends up also learning a few vices, primarily gluttony, and has gotten addicted to eating. She solves most of her problems with her mouth, and also prefers to learn about new things by ingesting them. Seraph has a tragic and lengthy backstory in one of her iterations, but I'm too lazy to go into it here.

Lurk/"The Knight" - my self-insert persona and the character in the PFP, a large knight in full white plate armour carrying a greatsword. Mostly exists to be eaten by women I find attractive, including my own or my friends' ocs, but occasionally I do serious stuff with him. Has no concrete backstory.

Betty - former enforcer bot that grew a personality, rebelled, and transed her gender. Now mostly serves herself, but will occasionally still protect her city from threats to fund her illegal body modifications. Purposely replaced her normal batteries with a matter assimilation reactor that acts as a digestive system, and feeds primarily on humans and their property. Because I'm a degenerate and also she exists in a superhero setting, she will sometimes eat a giant monster however, and can temporarily grow larger to fight them because I like mecha stuff.

I have a lot more, but I got lazy. I'll share about them later, this post is already very long overdue.

[eowyn-igneelcheshire]

This was before I realized I was bigender and my gender dysphoria doesn't really come from my hair anymore (I like my long hair and have come to terms with the fact that I will be misgendered for it because even cis men get misgendered if they have long hair) but I feel this is worth mentioning:

I've wanted a side shave for YEARS. I hated having a full head of hair, I still hate how having a full head of hair looks on me. When I was in sixth grade I was constantly begging my father to let me shave the side of my head and I was constantly getting shut down. Eventually I just said "fuck it" and one day when my oldest sister and I were having a "date day" I told her I wanted my side shaved and she immediately took me to get it done. First thing my father does when I get home and he sees? Threatens to never let me see her again. She was my sister and she was living with my mothers who he legally could not stop me from staying with because he and my birth mother agreed on joint custody in the divorce, and he still threatened to never let me see her again. It wasn't until I think two years later that I finally had access to a hair razor again, and he was still pissed every time he noticed I'd redone my side shaves (I started doing both sides).

My hair didn't have anything to do with my being "transmasc" in a way (being afab and identifying as both male and female kinda way), but it did foreshadow his response when my mom accidentally outed me to him. He did the exact same thing. Threatened to take me out of school so I could never see my friends again (because a few where trans/nonbinary and the boy i'd briefly dated---and am still very good friends with---was trans and he believed they'd somehow "manipulated" me). As if that wasn't bad enough he told me I was going to commit suicide if I did any kind of transition. He told me he used to be friends with a trans person (I don't know if they were a man or a woman because I don't know if he ever actually gendered them correctly) who jumped off a bridge after transitioning and swore that I was going to do the same. It's been three or four years and while the 2-4 hour threats and "warnings" lectures have been less frequent, he still won't correctly gender me on my boy days and has banned me from talking openly about my gender around anyone he knows (including his friends and any of his family). He doesn't even acknowledge that I am both male and female, he keeps saying I'm "non-binary" as if the male part of me just doesn't exist. To him and everyone he tells, I am not male and female, I am female and "genderless." And he is not the only one who sees me that way.

Everytime I see "transmascs don't suffer" I want to scream. We do suffer. I am not allowed to be male, I am not allowed to be she/him, I am treated as "she/they." I'm not that masculine, (I have a picture of me on a boy-day in a tight dress on my graduation announcement) so I'm seen as safe. The transmascs who are masculine? They're seen as a threat. A trans man has a big bushy beard and wears jeans and a t-shirt, and he's forced out and excluded because he's "threatening." You know what people say when that shit happens? "Well if he were just more feminine..." Fuck. You.

Transmascs and transfems both suffer in different, equally harmful ways, and if you think otherwise you're part of the problem. Hell, I'd even say you're transphobic---even if you yourself are trans---because being accepting/part of one type of transness does not exclude you from bigotry towards another.

I'm so tired of seeing transmasc's suffering downplayed

[lookwhatilost]

notes on nashville:

on conservatives and ideological framework of violence – the right wing model of why mass shootings happen seems to be a spiritual crisis theory of events. mental illness is interpreted as a presentation of this, and this compounds with the assailant being trans-masculine. the right generally seems to see transness as this scary, socially contagious, hypothetical delusion. or folie a deux via tiktok and twitter. so, even if they try and tie this back into "gender ideology", their presupposition is that the root cause is abnormal psychology, which isn't the same to them as political philosophy. i hope commentators pick up on that, because it's important to make these sorts of distinctions when we talk about starkly different views of gun violence in this country.

if you want my slipshod analysis, i think it's not mental illness so much, but what happens when you let the 24hr news cycle play with guns. but i don't want to derail too much.

on the categorical issue of stochastic terrorism – i've always really hated this term. if someone has told themselves that violence or destruction is warranted if it serves the right ends, anything in their media diet can inspire this. hell, not just the media diet, even their own philosophical conclusions! to pull a page from environmentalism, eco terrorists have historically been the types to justify extreme measures because they see this as less than proportional to the existential threat of climate change and/or industrialism. ted kaczynski is the most notable example of this, but so are the parade of clowns in later decades who did some arson to save the environment.

when the massacre happened last november in colorado springs, many were quick to blame tucker carlson and libsoftiktok for fomenting the climate that led to it. if you believe you're behaving in self-defense, retaliation is justified, so the logic goes. and i don't want to sound like some kind of ~enlightened centrist~, but extreme political polarization creates an environment where everyone feels perpetually under attack begets this in both directions. this is something worrying to me.

what's also relevant here is the narrative of trans genocide that's been floating about. at risk of being controversial, this is a huge misrepresentation of the set of heuristics gregory h stanton developed as warning signals that could potentially be turned around. this poster is frequently circulated, but i don't think it accurately captures the meat of the essay that spawned it. if you play fast and loose with the simplified descriptions, every marginalized group is going through an "ongoing genocide". stanton is very deliberate in how he characterizes the acts. i don't love to be a semantic nerd, but genocide is an action. there are pundits and politicians that i believe, if given enough power, would begin genocidal actions. but we're still at a point where we can do something. this is why the distinction matters.

that all said, this juvenile interpretation of events has been spread impulsively and uncritically by social media pundits that young people gravitate towards. i've been hearing and seeing it nonstop – they want you dead, they want you dead, they want you dead. i wonder if those pundits have the self awareness to know the thing they're doing might result in the stochastic terrorism they've bleated so much about. have you ever considered that your words echo beyond your comprehension?

ah well, that's enough. disagreements? comments? questions? send them my way. this is my nascent stance and i'm not hardline committed to it.

[lgbtqwriting]

Hello, I'm working on a fantasy story with LGBTQIA+ characters in it, and I was wondering if I could get some advice. One of my main characters is a trans girl, her name is Andie, and I was thinking of writing out her friends and her twin brother being supportive of her in various ways. Like her brother using his allowance to get her vocal training, her friend who works at the potion shop (which in my story is really just a magical pharmacy) getting her estrogen, a giantess who doesn't let anyone dare deadname her, stuff like that.

But, I'm wondering, is that supportive in a good way? Is there a wrong way to show her friends and family supporting her? The story wouldn't just be about Andie transitioning, but since it is part of her character it should come up at points, yes? I'm thinking about doing it subtly, just dropping small hints that she isn't cis, I don't want that "omg she's a guy?!" joke, (cause I hate that) but I don't not want to bring it up, cause it's an important part of who she is, so I'm wondering how to write it right, and show that those around her are supportive an appropriate way. I've watched and read some things on how to write for trans characters, but as far as I know I don't know anyone trans, and I'm not trans, so I'm worried about doing this wrong. Apologies for the ask being so long, and if there's questions about my goals or characters feel free to message me, but any and all advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance ❤

Apologies for the (very) late response, it's been a hectic year.

First and foremost, I'll point you toward some of our older posts addressing the elephant in the room re: navigating transmisogyny while writing transfem characters. (Disclaimer: some of them use outdated and/or provocative language, but this fortunately doesn't take away from the quality of advice.)

On flashbacks

Writing gender dysphoria & gender questioning as an outsider

Hopefully these resources will help you gain a better baseline understanding of not only how to write trans characters, but what sort of threats they might be up against and how they'd try to deal with them.

Ideally, you ought to write up a rough draft of a scene where your transfem character comes out or discusses elements of her transness, and then pick through it with a proverbial fine tooth comb looking for words and phrases that set off your 'this is stereotypical' alarm bells. This would be the lowest maintenance method of revision, plus it would help you gage just how likely you are to fall into that trap of regurgitating harmful stereotypes.

From what you've described, I think your sense that something is 'off' stems from recognizing that you haven't decided how your character would deal with the transmisogyny she faces, which is a whole new ballpark.

While it's admirable to put effort into exploring the discrimination your characters might face, I think it's important to ask yourself questions like "does my story need to talk about transphobia?" and "how would the plot be affected if this character's identity was respected by everyone, even the antagonists?"

When in doubt, don't hesitate to play around with the building blocks of your story.

why the fuck

are truscum/transmed and anti-shipping blogs coming up on my suggested blogs. does someone I follow actually follow these.

now is probably the time to remind everyone following me:

-truscum not welcome, the only requirement for people to be trans is to say they're trans. there is no such thing as an invalid trans person. gender is fake and made up. dysphoria is only one aspect of transness and not the end all be all aspect. someone can change their gender four times a week and still be valid. so what if it's a phase. exploration is healthy and natural. i will never ever tell anyone they're not trans.

-people have the right to make whatever fanfiction they want, even if it contains csa, abuse, assault, murder, incest, whatever- so long as they maintain healthy boundaries, properly tag and contain their work so it isnt exposed to people it might trigger, and dont have harmful attitudes about real life people. even if it sounds romanticized. even if they're not survivors. even if it grosses me personally out. just tag it, just maintain healthy boundaries, just be mindful of real life human beings. abusing someone verbally, doxxing and sending threats for making content that makes you uncomfortable is never okay.

- real life MAPs and abusers not welcome. if you hurt real people or think it's okay to be creepy about real life people this isnt the place for you. my endorsement of fiction is not my endorsement of real harm.

- terfs, radfems, swerfs, anti-kink people and anyone else who buys into that nonsense can leave, this won't feel like a welcoming space for you and I dont intend it to

this tumblr is a ghost town anyways and I'm only here to reblog jjba art and aesthetics, so I genuinely don't care if I purge followers for this, lmao.

im really not one to participate in discourse and i really generally like things that are considered "cute" and "acceptable" but those who have been here long enough know i was into nbc's hannibal, black butler, homestuck, etc and have reblogged and created plenty of "problematic" material about abuse, gaslighting, violence and other dark themes. im a survivor and i dont like being spoken for or over by people who dont have my best interests at heart.

just like.... know what you're in for.
