i feel like the queer community lost when we started policing labels and making sure everyone used the Correct™ labels instead of letting a person decide what feels right for them

[gnometa233]

"we need more weird queers" Y'ALL CANT EVEN HANDLE LESBIANS SAYING THEY EXCLUDE MEN.

At this point, gender nonconformity is about what the person says their experience is.

If a woman with a beard or a man with lipstick and a mustache says they're gender nonconforming, then they are! If a woman with short hair or a man with long hair says they aren't, they aren't! And that's not even getting into the awesome nonbinary, abinary, genderqueer, intersex, and general genderfuckery that may both be and not be conforming.

So much of what is even considered gender conforming or gender nonconforming is based on a world of exclusion. When we start defining one's conformity with whether they fit into white cishetero perisex standards or not, we play into the idea that there's only a very narrow window of what is considered worthy of time and thought.

so I'm not very tall at all (I'm actually pretty short, like 5'3 maybe) but I'm fat and walk around a lot and love picking up and carrying things pretty often. plus i have pcos which means higher testosterone levels. so, given all that, I'm relatively pretty strong.

and god, let me tell you, it has always been sooo fucking fun for me to wrestle my cis guy friends and pick them up and run around with them all the time. it made me feel so strong and euphoric to just throw them around like that. and something i noticed about it is that they could never win against me whenever i wrestled them. and they couldn't pick me up or move me around or try to restrain me for very long either, i was too much bigger and heavier and i could easily get out of it if they tried to.

i just can't stop thinking about taking that a step further, you know... grabbing a guy who's much taller but wayyy skinnier and lankier than me and just manhandling him, showing him that his extra height means nothing around a guy who's so much stronger than him. throwing him down wherever i want and positioning him however i please, because i don't even need ropes or chains or leashes or anything like that when i can easily just keep him pinned with my body weight, because i just weigh so much more than he does. showing him that i can do absolutely whatever i want to him.

because it doesn't matter how tall you are when you're pinned to the ground or forced to stay on your knees.

Just to minimize my chances of being genuinely misunderstood OR deliberately misinterpreted, and crucified for something I don't think, How Dare You Say We Piss on the Poor website etc...I'm gonna say this right up top. I absolutely understand why people don't like Thessaly as a character, if anyone does completely unironically stan her as some kind of feminist hero who Did Nothing Wrong uwu, I personally see it as a bit of a red flag. I don't like terfs real or fictional. In a vacuum, I could even completely sympathize and agree with the people who want her cut.

HOWEVER.

It's really something to me to see people clamoring for her to be cut, because she carries and expressed an ugly indefensible prejudice (transphobia) in words towards (1) person. Meanwhile Hob fucking Gadling enacted one of the most violent forms of antiblack racism I can even think of against thousands no, millions of people, the ripple effects of which still affect billions more today. Just a little light idk, profiting off the fucking slave trade and had to be told by someone else that it was bad...and he's a fan favorite.

People are saying Thessally being Dream's love interest reflects badly on him or is somehow endorsement by the narrative (?!?!?!?!?!? Didn't she (SPOILER ALERT AS IF IT MATTERS BY NOW) help participate in his extended assisted suicide? She's not painted as a great person to me just another character what are y'all SMOKING whatever fine. It's fine this is fine.) But shipping Dream with Mr. Former Slaver is not only not verboten or frowned on widely in the fandom but its THEE most popular pairing by far. So...why the difference?

Like where are the same fans who are saying Thessaly shouldn't just be more clearly shown to be wrong, she shouldn't even be in the show at all when it comes to Hobert's crimes??? Yes, transphobia is indefensible. Isn't racism?

And I hear the cries of "it's fiction!!!" Already rallying (if anyone who needs to hear this even sees it lol) to which I say:

HORSESHIT. I KNOW you don't, deep down, really agree because if you did, why get upset about Thessaly being included??? Why does what she said to one person matter if it's Just Fiction You Guyze. Fictional characters are allowed to do bad things and fiction isn't reality sweaty....except when you only apply that standard to fictional racists you like and simp for, but fictional transphobes you don't are SO HARMFUL they shouldn't even be portrayed in fiction.

Like. Give me a big fat BREAK. This looks like bullshit, no? I'm sorry, but I'd love for someone to try and give any other explanation besides one personally offended you or hit home for you, and the other doesn't.

And if that bothers you or you feel like it says something negative about you...idk what you want me to say??? You can't control how other people perceive you and that's how people outside this majority-of-the-fandom bubble see it. You don't need to respond, I just wish and genuinely hope this gives you a moment to think about why fans who ARE bothered by both (and not just paying lip service to being bothered by the one but railing against the other) are so frustrated with people saying everyone is welcome but in practice only bending over backwards for the comfort and emotions of themselves, and people they can easily relate to.

You don't have to like Thessaly (I don't. I find her an interesting antagonist, I don't stan her. And frankly imo likability is not. the point of her character) but you'll pardon me for feeling more than a bit cynical and side eying people's motivations for what seems a...pretty obvious double standard, on what fictional crimes related to real world issues matter to y'all, and which clearly don't. Either actually bring the same energy to the table for fictional people who committed atrocities, even if against a group you're not part of and thus don't feel the need to empathize with, or just carry on, but accept that you don't have the SLIGHTEST room to talk about cutting characters who do immoral things. And you also need to accept that you look like a hypocrite when you do.

I'd really appreciate some input on this, please.

because I've been on T for one year and three months now, and my voice hasn't really changed at all. it started a little (a year ago) and then... stopped. and it hasn't deepened or changed since - or not much, at least. (more context under the cut if anyone is interested. it's a bit of a vent, though, as a heads-up!)

it is the thing people get confused by the most when I meet them and introduce myself as a guy, which then always leads to uncomfortable questions and overall hurtful and awkward situations (I get misgendered a lot because of it; even after explaining myself and having introduced myself as masculine and correcting the pronouns and title multiple times, my voice always throws them off, apparently).

this has been frustrating for me (I know vocal therapy and/or training myself to speak in a lower voice are a thing, but this isn't about that. it's generally, even when I do that, my voice doesn't even remotely compare to other trans-masc voices on 1 year of T that I've heard).

and it might also happen that I have to lower my T dose in January because I've been having some side effects my endocrinologist is concerned about, so I've been feeling rather bad about all of this for a while now, and it's only getting worse. so, I thought to make a post/poll to maybe get some people's input on their changes within that first year. I just feel like in all transition timelines and experiences, that I've seen and heard from others, their voice has changed very significantly within that first year on T; but maybe there are a lot more people like myself out there, too. that's what I hope to see with this post, at least.

anyway, I'm sorry for dumping all of this here! but like I said, it has been frustrating, and uncomfortable situations keep happening that make me feel worse about myself and the "lack" of changes. (otherwise, body hair has been going really well, the hair loss is annoying, but okay, my shoulders/back have gotten broader, and my period has stopped; so I'm happy with those changes. also, psychologically, it has had a positive impact on how I feel about my gender situation in general. I don't want to downplay that at all!)

if anyone's read this far: thank you for your time, take care of yourself! <3

*trans, here, meaning anyone AFAB or intersex, who is on HRT with testosterone to masculinize themselves.
