#anyway the trans ppl keep winning

[sexc-snail]

"The liberals are brainwashing your children into being trans!!!" Factoid actualy just statistical error. Average liberal transes 0 genders per year. This Anarcho-socialist, with a bearded dragon 'child' who was behaviourally & outwardly male for 4 years before laying 15 eggs today, was an outlier adn should not have been counted.

[prismatiger]

AGREE WITH YOUR PREVIOUS POST. I like mean Loop as a facade only, but we know they still care and love...

Now I have a question, what's your favorite Loop takes/headcanon

Oh my god I'm so sorry I took like two weeks to answer this one I prommy it's not bc I'm exclusively a hater or whatever. I just straight up forgot to answer Oopsie. I'm putting this under cut bc it got long enough that you all would shoot arrows at me for putting it on your dash

Anyways there's a lot of Loop Thangs I like frankly. A big one that I enjoy is when fic authors in postcanon make the transition of Loop into the party structure kind of rocky. Usually bc Loop's neuroses creating a level 12 psychic barrier between them and the party + the inherent awkwardness of meeting somebody who's apparently super close in a way (that you'll never fully understand) to one of your friends. Who let's be real I feel like half the party (coughIsabeauandMirabelle) would catch the aura of "oh they do not like us at all" from Loop. I want Loop to be happy and with their family but you just know this bitch is going to make it as difficult for themself on purpose. The Siffrin Special.

I also just generally like when they keep Loop as a star postcanon. I'm not at all a hater towards Human Loop (in fact I think it can be itself an interesting setup for a Loop fic) but I do like Loop as a star more thematically. Something about having to accept that things have changed and moving on from it regardless. Also bc Loop being dysphoric about their body scratches a very transgender projection itch in my brain Yessss little star you're stuck in a body that draws unwanted attention and which you have no control over how it looks and functions in a way that feels fundamentally wrong to you. (Pointing at canonically transgender character) Yooooo this guy is such a cool trans allegory omg

Hmm what else. This is more of a sloops thing but I always enjoy in fics when they lean into the fact it's selfcest frankly. I've become a selfcest enjoyer bc of this ship I'll never get over that act 5 dialogue abt the cautionary tale where Siffrin says he never understood the moral of the story bc the idea of having somebody just like him who understands him. Oh my gyoooooooooooooooood. I want them to melt into sludge I'm always thinking of that analogy from superflyghtheart on discord comparing Loop and Siffrin to endlings of an endangered species. 💥💥💥It's like. This is less sloopy now but I'm caught between the intersection in my head of "Loop would probably benefit from developing their own identity as a person separate from Siffrin bc they need Something they have control over" and "Loop is of the Siffrin Species and they are significantly too sentimental to let go of the shreds of what they used to have, especially after having lost all of it once already". Both of these things are yummy as fuck when ppl smarter than me explore them and they're kinda the main Story Paths for postcanon Loop anyways so I'm always winning. So like idk tldr I like it both when ppl have Loop diverge a lot as a person and when they have Loop try their best to stay as much of a Siffrin as possible!

I'm limiting myself to four paragraphs so you don't all want to hit me with hammers but I do have Loop Biology Headcanons. I've explained mythoughts on their guts before and don't feel like recounting them but whatever True #codacheetahwarriors remember my deranged rambling. ANYWAYS I kind of mentally run on the assumption of Loop's body as like. The Universe couldn't keep Loop in Siffrin's body, bc they needed Siffrin to be in it (and I guess a system situation introduces too many factors of its own? idk). The Universe operates with the goal of fulfilling wishes with the least intervention possible, so The Universe makes a body out of cheap inorganic material (star-scrap basically). Miniature star for a head fueling the body with Craft energy (I'm not going to get into my conspiracy that all Craft is the same here). Molds the star scrap into a vaguely Siffrin-shaped/sized vessel and plonks Loop's conscious into it and calls it a day. So Loop's body as a poor simulacrum of a human body is like. They're capable of breathing but they only really benefit from doing it on a psychological level. They can't eat or drink and don't have a mouth because it would require a significant level of added effort to make a digestive system, when they can just derive energy from their star. They don't have reproductive organs because they're not made from organic material anymore anyways. They don't need to sleep bc their body never gets tired but they still do it because it's not really a great idea to leave your brain on running for too long anyways.

I fucking lied I'm on paragraph five bc the block of text is annoying me. To continue that's all a preface to say I think it's super fun when Loop has body functions that are weird and unpredictable. Their little frizzles on their body are reactive to their emotions the same way their headstar is, and feel like static if you touch them. Their head has a vague boundary so their eyes have something to be rooted to but the function by which their optic nerves work is unclear to everybody including themself. They glow based on intensity of emotion and the temperature of their star changes via specific mood. Bc I think it would be fun if the battlefield in twohats when from ice cold to boiling hot frankly. Ok these are all just my headcanons (temperature one very loose though I'm not a hard subscriber to it) but they're not uniquely mine it's just examples of what I mean. One I don't have as a personal headcanon but I do enjoy is when Loop feels the same physical sensations as Siffrin bc it's funny and I like inflicting misery on the star.

I'm going to shut up now like actually . Loop for your troubles

[trashcanwithsprinkles]

Honestly idk I have like a lot like A LOT of unresolved insecurities and rlly weird thought about masculinity, but uhh context is I am a trans man and I have ocd and it can lead to really messed up assumptions

Like this is far from the first time that I'm learning that something I've been obsessing over so much that I just kinda believed it to be true is actually not and i just let my intrusive thoughts win. And most ppl don't think like that, actually

Sorry for the weird ask, i think i do a good job at figuring out those things most of the time bc it's ridiculous (ALWAYS like not a single instance when it wasn't a delusion) but I also read mostly TERF content when I was still figuring it out so maybe it just stuck with me? (Kinda TMI tbf but I had like a couple months straight where it kept me up at night and I would get gender disforia until I manged to finally shut my brain down one way or another)

Anyway this actually eye opening so I'm gonna write it down and talk to my therapist abt it

Again, sorry 😞

Didn't mean to give you a glimpse of my mind, it's a terrible place to see on a good day

honestly anon i think *all* of this is TMI but like im kinda fascinated that you actually came in and just told me all this ngl im very impressed

genuinely don't really know how to respond to this other than telling you my stance on the whole zhongchi/zhongchili thing? not as in like. admonishing you or anything. more- since you mentioned struggling w those things. if nothing else the post where i mention it is buried who knows where lmao

sparing the rest of you with a cut

now this is probably partially because ive been in fandom spaces for like. upwards of ten years now. but ive always been an advocate for unique ship names, as opposed to just the character's names mashed together or putting an 'x' in the middle

aside from the fact that i just think this closes people in on having to stick to one or the other (AxB or BxA for example) and thus keeps them from exploring different facets of the characters, this also, as you've probably realized, just- perpetuates the idea that people HAVE to be one or the other. there's no room for nuance. straight ships of course have their own trove of issues for this, but at least (whether for better or worse, mostly worse if you ask me) people there have a more general consensus on woman-bottom man-top. but for mlm wlw ships? since it's usually two men or two women, people lose that sort of- taken-for-granted system of deciding who tops or bottoms, and so they start going on sketchy territory trying to decide which traits will make the characters in these senarios which role. this obviously usually just results in feminine traits being associated with womanhood and therefore bottoming and masculine traits -> manhood -> topping. which is all bs if you ask me but that's beside the point

this all gets even more cumbersome when, as is the case for me, you don't even write sex scenes. or anything sexual for that matter (intentionally). so why should any of us care whose dick is going where if no dicks are ever going to matter. the most these idiots are gonna do is make out. do we want to assign top/bottom dynamics to kissing? i personally don't. what about the nuance if we do? it vanishes. it becomes boring. we go right back to the childish notion of dominating -> masculine -> man -> dick in hole -> top. isn't that super trite? where's the room for more interesting variation, more characterization? nothing wrong with a character following that exact ruleset, but shit gets boring real quick if that's all we do. and as you're likely far more aware than i am, anon, it becomes harmful for ourselves irl

this is my main gripe w ship names like AB and AxB. i use them because i am one person and unlikely to change established fanon at this point, but if i could, boy would i love to propose we start actually being creative about ship names. i was so pleasantly surprised when people started calling mualani/kinich 'pixelshark'. like?? 1) that's so fucking cute and 2) i don't immediately think who tops or who bottoms. yes you can make the argument that this is still in a kinich top mualani bottom order, but it's a massive improvement from like. kinilani. or something.

so when people ask whether i write chili or zhongchi, i wish i could just tell them neither. i couldn't give less of a fuck as to who you think is putting their dick where. it gets all the more... odd, when people assume it's one or the other based on the dynamic i present, which again always circles back to combinations or variations of masculine -> dick in hole -> top. this is of course not to fault anyone for how they perceive my fics! we've started using zhongchili here because it sort of combines both and thus leaves you thinking what is actually going on. like afaik zhongchili isn't used to specify one or the other? we have zhongchi and chili/tartali for that. idk where you got that from anon imma be real

but the point is that i wish i could avoid this mess altogether. i wish i could just put 'marriage chopsticks' or whatever in the ship name and speficy sex dynamic if needed. i wish the fandom would agree to always list ship names in alphabetical order so we could list childe/zhongli for tag purposes and not have to debate who's bottoming

but oh well

WIBTA for inviting my cousin to an LGBT meet up?

Cw: mentions of suicide and transphobia

I (18M) am a trans man and my cousin N (21F) is a lesbian who is very masc presenting. We're the only queer cousins in the family (at least in our generation) so weve always been good friends and shes been one of the biggest supporters of my transition, defended me from bigoted family members and always corrected family when they used my deadname/old pronouns. I lowkey hoped she would come out as a trans man or nonbinary as well. We dress in the same style which makes it so when were hanging out together one of us is gonna get misgendered since people asume both of us are trans men or masc girls. When N is the one being misgendered she doesnt bother fighting it since its more trouble than its worth but looking back i think it really annoyed her.

Earlier this year N was severely struggling with her mental health. I apologize for the wording i may have since i dont know the proper terminology for this stuff or any specific disorder diagnosis she may have (other than autism). She was having some sort of manic or depressive episode. She was dead set on pushing people away and making them hate her so she could take her own life without regrets.

I visited N once to give her my support during a struggling time but i stupidly told her there was nothing she could say that would push me away. She told me not to test her but i kept pushing it and i admit what happened next was my fault. She told me in a very cold voice that she was a terf, though that she didnt want me dead but that "we" (im guessing she meant trans ppl) made it so much harder for her to exist(???????). I didnt let her keep talking just and left her room, said my goodbyes to her family and just cried while driving home.

Im still not sure if she meant it or if it was part of her mental episode and just a way for her to hurt me and push me away. On one hand ig it explains some of her behavior? N sometimes complained when she got asked for her pronouns or being misgendered like I mentioned before. On the other hand, I gen do not believe she has been a terf all along esp with how supportive shes been of me. If she was a terf youd think she would try to subtly talk me out of it, but that has never happened. My friends have nicknamed her schrodinger's terf lol

Anyway, i went no contact with N for a few months for my own wellbeing. During this time i heard that she tried to kill herself a few times, which got her into a mental hospital. She was given higher doses of meds and seems to be doing way better.

We had a family reunion this week and i decided to approach her. N seemed a little hesitant to talk to me but stayed polite. I tried testing her and talked about the effects T has been having on me but she acted like she always had and congratulated me and even complimented me on how deep my voice has gotten. I wasnt satisfied cause i wanted an apology for what she had said to me so i pushed it more. She did end up apologzing but it was a very surface level apology. At this point i didnt want to keep pushing in case it set her off again so i just took her apology (plus i wanted my best cousin back) and spent the rest of the day hanging out with her.

On the way home my mom said she was happy me and N had made up and that i should invite her to the lgbt club meetings Ive been going to this year. It seemed like a good idea to me, she lost a few friends during her episode and she could make more queer friends here. If N is trans and just in denial it could help her get the resources she needs to feel comfortable coning out. If N IS a terf maybe having more positive interactions with trans ppl could change her mind on it. Overall i thought it would be a win for her.

I brought it up to my friends and some of them blew up at me. Their argument was that itd be exposing the other trans ppl in the group to a terf and putting them in danger. I truly hadnt considered this angle so im kinda conflicted now. She had never felt like an unsafe person before and now that her episode is over she feels normal again. Even if she is a terf i dont think she could actually cause harm? I want N to get better but i dont want to put my trans friends at risk.

So tumblr, WIBTA for inviting N to my lgbt meet up?

What are these acronyms?

[freeuselandonorris]

Omg ur back thank god you closed asks right as I was gonna send the ask about Lewis/trans!lando 😭 but anyways here it is this is long and ramble-ly but if anyone sees this and can make smth coherent out of this I would literally give you the world

So okay I imagine the first time they fuck is after Lewis wins something; a race, the championship, etc and he’s looking to celebrate and obviously landos slept with a bunch of ppl in the paddock and he’s talking to someone and taking someone home (maybe Daniel 👀👀) and he recommends lando. So Lewis asks him if he’s down and of course lando is and he’s kinda freaking out bc lewis could have anyone and he chose him?? so later that night when lewis shows up at his room, lando is almost shaking with anticipation at being fucked by The Lewis Hamilton. Another hc I have is that lando gets like ridiculously wet so all it takes is Lewis grabbing his curls to pull his head back to kiss his neck and he’s dripping already and Lewis comments on it the second he’s got him on the bed ass up; lando easily letting him move him wherever he wants. Hc #2: Lewis loves the typical porn dirty talk that would make you cringe if it were coming from anyone else but bc it’s Lewis its got lando shivering and dripping even more when Lewis pulls his underwear to the side and comments on his “wet little cunt.” And when Lewis finally pushes his (huge, lbh) dick inside and wastes no time pounding into him lando is done for and it takes him no time at all to start letting out little squirts on every thrust. The first time it happens Lewis does the Thing where he pulls out and tries to coax a big one out of him before shoving back in. It only takes a few more thrusts for it to start again and this time when Lewis goes to pull out landos had shoots back and he cries out a broken “no, please, just keep going.” And Lewis does and lando just… doesn’t stop squirting. At some point Lewis sneaks a slick thumb down to his arsehole and after pausing to ask for permission he slips it inside and the squirts get just a little bigger. And landos just whining for it harder and for Lewis to not stop and this might just be the best sex of Lewis’ life. lando finally cums with a sob, clamping down on Lewis’ dick, making him bury himself deep and finish inside. When he pulls out he gets a good look at their surroundings; the bed is soaked, lando having slumped down into a massive puddle that when he looks down Lewis sees is spilling onto the floor. Lando is wrecked; is thighs dripping where theyre splayed apart lazily where he genuinely gets scared he might have passed out until he sees his chest rise and fall.

They don’t start dating or anything, don’t even fuck that often which lando is almost thankful for bc there’s no way he could handle that every day. But they do meet up every so often when Lewis gets a good result. It’s just as good every time, until Lewis seeks him out after a bad race… and if he thought Lewis gave it to him good when he was happy, he’s in for the ride of his life taking Lewis when he’s mad…

(I hope this wasn’t too much feel free to ignore if it is I just started going and couldn’t stop lmao… kinda like…)

!!! this is hot as fuck thank you for blessing my inbox with it anon! huge fan of lewis/lando as a rarepair in general and even huger fan of trans lando squirting about it. what i wouldn’t give, etc etc

[somescenecatholic]

ALL TUMBLR PPL PLEASE REPOST THIS ANYWHERE U CAN! THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE PROTESTS ABT THIS BC IT'S PRIDE! This can't go on for any longer. TW: p0l1c3, h0m0ph0b14, tr4nsph0b14

Qween Jean, a Black and Trans community leader was arrested at a PEACEFUL march for Trans Liberation on May 31st, 2023. AS SOON AS THEY GOT THERE there was lots of police and they arrested Qween Jean. I'm not sure if she's out yet as I can't find info on tht. On instagram it says to bail support at 7th precinct 191/2 Pitt St, New York, NY, 10002

This can't keep happening, there needs to be nationwide peaceful protests abt this!! Demonstrations need to be everywhere!!!! IT HAS BEEN 53 YEARS SINCE THE FIRST PRIDE PROTEST! I say protest bc PRIDE STARTED AS A PROTEST! It can ONLY be a parade when we truly get our rights. We can't celebrate until we see our victory. Like, our victory is in the bag bc good ALWAYS wins but we need to take ACTION!

ALSO, ANOTHER THING! NOTE HOW WHEN THE NYPD GOT KICKED OUTTA PRIDE, THEY STARTED ARRESTING AND STUFF! If they actually cared they would let this go on. They would actually do smth and hold their own protests for police brutality and etc to stop. Ik there are good police out there who are actually helping out the communities but lets be honest, the system is screwed up. There is far too much corruption. You KNOW it's bad when even little kids are scared of the police! No, not bc they may look intimidating. But because they are literally scared for their life. Same thing with guns. I was walking home from the bus stop when I was in like 6th or 7th (i forgot) and I thought I saw a gun in someone's car tht was parked in front of me and I was scared to the bone. Thankfully it wasn't a gun, it was smth else.

Anyways I'm getting kinda off topic. But yk what I mean right? (if u got any questions, do ask, my dm's and comments are always open! ^w^)

I'm just so sick tht the stuff tht should be in HISTORY BOOKS is happening right in front of my eyes. Like there have been sm protests and stuff against this for FAR, FAR longer than I have been alive!!! (Ik im only 16 but still this is a srs outrage)

It srsly sucks that this is the world I gotta grow up in.

SO THAT'S WHY WE GOTTA CHANGE IT!

Any action u do can help the world change fod the better. Never miss an opportunity to do good! (big or "small")

SOOO! If u can, go to a local protest! Try to put ur community first, yk? Also, reblog this post and spread awareness about these kinda issues. I'd love to go to a protest buttt I do not have supportive parents and I don't have a car. ALSO, remember tht every act of kindness counts. And dont just keep it to ur friends. Support good local businesses, give compliments to everyone u meet, cheer ppl up, listen to others, donate to GOOD, TRUSTWORTHY charities, do NOT give canned food to food banks bc they need actual food, so give them money, and give homeless ppl money too yk? Ppl are like "WHAT IF THEY SPEND IT ON DRUGS AND STUFF?" Well ofc yea tht's a possibility but who says they won't spend it on what they need? Yk? Basically be a good person, support queer ppl and poc ppl, etc. The world needs sm more kindness. People say "HAH friendship, love, and kindness is such a simple concept tht's not needed". The fact tht it's simple says everything. If we had more of tht, all these issues would cease to exist.

Also, another thing:

PROTEST SAFETY RULES!!

Take water and stay hydrated! If someone doesn't have water and u have some to spare, waterfall it.

Keep face masks and switch your phone to airplane mode. This is a surveillance country. They know how to find you. And if u take pics, make sure tht ur location is extremely hard to pinpoint.

If a police officer arrests u, know ur miranda rights and STAY SILENT AND BE CALM! They will use what they can to take it against u. You have to think a stairway ahead of them. They can't say anything if u don't say anything! And justice will be served so dw, God's with you. Also, yes u can say ur manners like thank you and excuse me.

Again, please repost this everywhere u can.

Remember,God loves u ALL, no ifs ands or buts. ACAB and love is love. Trans rights are HUMAN RIGHTS!!!!!

You matter and the right to speak and protest is a human right. This is our world and we have the power to change it!

(also please tell me if I got anything wrong in this post)

[alatismeni-theitsa]

Coming out story time, Γρεεκ edition. With a plot twist. Sorry for the long ass rant I just didn't know who else to tell my story who would get both the Greek Thinking TM and also be accepting of queer ppl.

Apologies for crude language (i think)?? I cannot describe it in a way that's as eloquent and beautiful as I want.

A. Μαμά.

I came out to my mother descriptively, because I knew if I said a Big Gay Word she'd instantly connect it to what she associates with Gay stuff, and I wanted to get her honest reaction, not what she thinks her reaction should be. And also because I Do Not Know what exactly I am (out of the whole LGBT alphabet, I could be Gay/Les, I could be Bi, I could maybe sort of kinda be trans but I do identify with womanhood in the Greek TM way so I don't think I can call myself NB? Anyway whatever, labels don't matter to me and only make me feel weird when applied to me), so there's that.

Specifically I said "Ma, I'm not only attracted to boys." Because that's the best I can describe my hauntingly persistent bisexuality as haha.

After the initial confusion, the first question she asked was "so you'd want to have sex with a woman?" A question I chose not to answer, one because Μαμά τι στο καλό θες να σου πω τώρα :/ and also because the answer is neither no or yes. It goes beyond just Mm Yes Pussy Nice for me. Reducing it to just that is making my skin crawl just as much as Mm Yes Dick Nice. That's dehumanising for me, I'm sorry. :/ My answer was literally "δεν ξέρω/δεν απαντώ" lmao.

And?? She may have accidentally come out to me too??? Without realising it?????

Because she said three things:

1. "Oh, when I was at your age I went through this phase as well." Which??????????? What does it mean if not the think I'm thinking of??? Ma have you really been in denial/the closet for 50 years?

2. "I was fiercely defensive of gay people when I was younger." Which, YES. As you should μαμά. Only it has created this haunting fear in me that in 30 years time, with "experience", I'll change too and I'll go against my gay brothers and sisters as Ορθοδοξία seems to want. Which I won't. I hope. I can only hope my heart won't change, even if I marry a guy and go ahead and have children of my own. Like... it doesn't make sense, HOW did she change her mind in the first place??? How does that happen to someone? Will it happen to me too?

3. "It's okay, I love you for who you are." In the end, all is good. Even if she thinks she's a phase that I'll grow out of, and probably would not allow me to think about dating/settling with another woman, she's not cutting me out of the will! She still loves me!! It's a win for me. :D

Also she approves of cute gender neutral nicknames because she's always called me that. Like: το ζουζουνάκι, το μαρουδάκι (εννοώντας πασχαλίτσα🐞), το κουφετάκι, κτλ.

I really love her little habits I'm sorry. :')

B. Αδερφούλα

I'll keep it brief because there's not as much to say. She's younger than me so she used to have a very much "oh ew wtf" reaction.

But recently?? She's been treating it like an inside joke??? Like, refering to me as "το τέρας" ή "το αρνί" because she knows I love being affectionately/jokingly called an "it". Also making gay jokes in rare occasions, which I love.

She's a little insecure about being perceived as Λεσβία for her fashion sense, and I regularly assure her that she can wear whatever makes her feel good and not worry about how others see her. Can she rock a γυναικείο κουστούμι like a boss? Fuck yea. Does that mean she's a lesbian just because she looks masculine and pretty at the same time? Fuck no, you do you boo. I know how much you like dressing like this. Nobody's opinion can take it away. And lesbians are not Bad either, so she has a lot to unpack in the future. But I'm still very proud of her and how far she's come since I first told her (long before mom actually) and I absolutely love her to death.

Also she called me a bottom. Shame on her. Gah, siblings.

Honorary entries:

C. Dad

I have yet to come out to him because he often ridicules openly queer people on TV. Like, οικογενειακά watching Eurovision the Maneskin year (every year really) was both hilarious and terrifying.

But, like?? He's also lowkey kinda Bi too in a repressed way? In the way that he's loyal to the woman he married but also making strong bromances when given the chance? It's so funny to me, because he has such a soft and fond expression when talking about friends he has sort of trauma-bonded with (term used loosely, but you know how Dads are).

I could also be just tripping and trying to seek comradeship where there's none because Parents are the ones a child seeks to relate to, but I'd rather not psychoanalyse me rn.

D. Granny

Also can I just talk about Passive Acceptance. Because granny (without knowing about my identity) sometimes refers to me and my sister as παλικάρι in a Gender Neutral sense ("δεν είναι μόνο τα αγόρια παλικάρια" she says. granny is a feminist icon without even trying to be. slay.) and it makes my woman-in-a-vague-sense-i-guess(?) heart do the little proud flutter thing.

Also does it make sense to be a non-binary when it comes to speaking English but sort of a woman (actually yes a woman but also yes and no at the same time because I look and act really soft cheery and feminine but I'm mentally also a τέρας από την άβυσσο και τα τάρταρα :D) when speaking Greek??? It's so confusing, how can I perceive gender in two entirely different ways at the same time what the everloving fuck. What AM I...??

Again, sorry for the jumbled thoughts, my last three braincells are busy rn χορεύing Καλαματιανό.

Γειαα! Παιδια με σκλαβωνετε με τα μηνυματα σας τελευταια 💗 Ειλικρινα χαιρομαι παρα πολυ που εχω εστω και λιγο την εμπιστοσυνη σας - εγω μια ξενη στο ιντερνετ - και μου λετε τις σκεψεις και τις ιστοριες σας! Το εκτιμω παρα πολυ!

Να ξερετε οτι ακομα και αν τυχον διαφωνουμε σε καποια πραγματα, μπορειτε να μου στελνετε μηνυματα. Γιατι ποτε δε θα διαφωνησω με το δικαιωμα καποιου να ζει με ασφαλεια και να ειναι ο εαυτος του (το οποιο ειναι ανθρωπινο δικαιωμα ουτως ή αλλως)

Επισης: Δημοσιευω το μηνυμα επειδη δεν υπηρχε καποια δηλωση που ελεγε να μην το κανω. Αν καποιος ομως θελει να μη δημοσιευσω καποιο μηνυμα ή να διαγραψω καποιο μηνυμα, ας μου το πει, δεν υπαρχει θεμα!

Οκ switching off to English!

The whole experience is So Greek, damn! Starting with Mother, telling her Descriptively, her saying that she also liked women "one time", then considering that something is off with Dad as well, then mentioning the accidentally supportive Grandma who gives no shits... Πρεπει να εχουμε ενα σχετικο επεισοδιο στις Οικογενειακές Ιστορίες ετσι για την ταυτιση των τηλεθεατων.

Also, just because I am a nosy dramatic bitch, I would DEFINITELY bring back this conversation if this was my mum, and I would tell her "You know that you like women too, right? You can't just... lose attraction for a whole gender overnight. And they also say that sexual orientation is genetic......" Just to see her reaction and try to convince her 😂 (Don't attempt if you think it won't go well for you! 😅)

I'm really happy about how you handled things with your sis! Being perceived as a lesbian is nothing bad because lesbians are nothing bad! She can rock whatever she wants, like you said! There are lesbians out there who dress like "everyone else", meaning that clothes can potentially be a hint but you can never tell just by the clothes. She has a lot to unpack indeed but with more teaching moments by you, I'm sure she's in good hands.

Oooooh that Dad case! I have a theory here, knowing Greek dads. Perhaps he will be more supportive than you think. Not just because of the things you mentioned, but because he loves you and supports you as his child (from what I read). Greek dads can be ride or die, especially with their daughters. So, if you are confident enough when you tell him, if you look logical and self-aware, he actually might back you up and he might be the most supportive! Parents often dismiss their children because they believe that children are doing it for attention, or because of a whim. Greek dads, I've noticed, want things to be told to them with huuuge neon letters, otherwise they don't act on the situation.

For example, you can be like "Dad, I want to tell you something. (diretor hint: play it sad and worried here, he might feel the need to be protective instead of defensive) I like women too, and I have been feeling it for a long time. I didn't feel it because someone else "indoctrinated" me to it. It's a natural feeling to me. It is not a phase. I cannot switch it on and off like it's a hall light. Most importantly, this is not dangerous for me. I know that you might be concerned and we can talk about it. I just want you to know because this is an important part of who I am."

-- Again, assess the situation accordingly. You definitely don't have to do anything I suggest. And you can make the dialogue more or less cheesy :P In any case, when you talk to him keep in mind that he's an older man who grew up in specific decades and you have to make an effort to set things his way otherwise things will be lost in translation and neither of you will notice.

That's how I got an old aunt to support me. 😂This aunt was the type that says "A woman liking another woman?? Ιησούς Χριστός!!" I noticed what things she valued most (being your own person, having fun in life, not allowing anyone to step on you) and I built my case by telling her that the way I live at the moment gives me all these advantages. I also matched her tone, and I tried to see things from her side, which eventually helped guide her to the mindset I wanted to introduce her to. Sometimes many conversations and subtle hints are needed for this guidance. And they also need to like you because the Greek statement "το δικο μας το παιδι ποτε δεν κανει κατι κακο! το δικο μας το παιδι ειναι χρυσο!" will usually prevail over "A woman liking another woman?? Ιησούς Χριστός!!" 😂

What's more, some parents of queer kids already know what their kids are. They just don't say anything out of fear they will encourage this behaviour. Meanwhile the kids get stressed for decades about how the parents will react, and when they finally come out the parents, the parents are like "eh... we already knew, to be honest. We've been watching you hug and kiss girls since you were like... six. We just hoped that you'd grow out of it, that's why we didn't bring it up. We didn't want you to grow up into a behaviour that would separate you from other kids cause they would bully you and harm you."

The grandma is TOP, by the way! I feel like many older people really know what's important in life. The thought of two women getting married might never be palatable to her but she knows that alienating family members for harmless shit is not where it's at. I love her already!

On the "It's so confusing, how can I perceive gender in two entirely different ways at the same time what the everloving fuck. What AM I…??"

It is a fact that people slightly switch personalities when switching languages. English is a more polite, careful, and tip-toeing language, while in Greece malakas is a word of love if said to your friend 😂 And it's true that cultures perceive gender in different ways. So if you switch to US English and get into their mindset, they have another version of femininity. (Well, the whole country is diverse but I'm talking about the generic, permeating WASP stereotype of the preferred femininity in the US media)

I switch behavior in English too and sometimes I find that I'm more polite and "more feminine" there, which for me... eeeh not my style so much. (English makes us dysphoric, pass it down 😂😂😂😂)

Which brings me to another discussion. I am not nonbinary so I won't want to speculate on what nonbinary is and how it feels. Instead I will speak about a phenomenon sometimes seen in women, who, (sometimes!) need to be seen as a person (who deserves full respect) and not "just a woman" they take up the nonbinary label. Being a woman (or a man) comes with certain expectations and baggage and sometimes as a woman (or as a man) you can totally feel like "fuck it, I want to opt out" or "I already don't do these things and I don't want to ever do them or feel them, so I guess am actually not a woman/man".

I want to stress again that I don't imply non-binary people are this. And I'm not saying that's you. I'm just leaving this out there because it's very harmful when society makes you feel like "failing" at your gender and telling you "you are not a real man/woman because you don't do the X stereotypes", and some people fall for it want to "opt out" of their gender without realizing that in the process they're following the logic of... binaries.

Whatever you identify as should come from the inside, not from what society tells you a woman should be. Because, as you noticed, the Greek and the US society have different notions of what a woman "should be". Heck, you might move to Sweden and find out that out there you feel like Barbie while in Greece you may feel like Babis doing the exact same things😂 Don't rely on society and stereotypes, my humble opinion is. Rely on yourself. And it's okay if you don't have a definitive answer to "what you are". Just live and present as you are most comfortable.

One more thought that I have, which you can also take or leave, is about the sexuality part. I'm not family or a friend, and I don't know you well. I'm not an authority and I don't think my words are scripture. My speculation could perhaps help your brain cells stop χορεύειν τσάμικον γύρω απ τη φωτιά στο δάσος 😂

Sooo... have you considered asexuality?

Heeeaaar me out. Your confusion seems a bit similar to that of people who are asexual but don't know it yet. First of all, there's a difference between aesthetic attraction and sexual attraction. Asexuals usually start thinking they are gay or bi because their sexual attraction to men and women is the same. Zero. 0 = 0 after all 😂

At the same time, asexuals can often feel "off" in their gender and gender expression because automatically they don't subscribe to amatonormative rules and hence, they don't subscribe to gender rules.

An asexual can still have aesthetic attraction to people (just not sexual) and want a romantic relationship. An asexual can have aesthetic attraction to only one gender or many. There's a whole spectrum in asexuality, and there are ace identities like the aegosexuals who are actually not sex repulsed. They are interested in sex as an idea, but they just don't experience sexual attraction for people in real life. (Imagine it like, you like watching football for the rush and the technique, but there's nooo way you want to go down on the field and start kicking a ball.)

Their relationships with their significant others are often "queerplatonic" because the way they perceive gender and companionship (that is not friendship) is queer compared to the rest of society.

I thought about this cause you mentioned the "hauntingly persistent bisexuality", and also because usually the answer to "so you wanna fuck women?" is "eh…yes??" if you are attracted to women in the usual way xD But of course, it might be just your character, that you don't want to focus on sex despite having sexual attraction, and, as you said avoid "dehumanizing" the other. So again, my speculation might be wrong. If you know you are sexually attracted to people, and if you don't have to ask "what is sexual attraction tho?" then that's probably not it😄

Okay, I rambled for too long again but I hope this message has helped you at least in one way. Know that you are already slaying out there and you WILL CONTINUE to slay because you're a cool and kind person with great self-reflection skills.

Literally like. The heart of anti trans discourse has fuck all to do with trans people and everything to do with them punching down.

I'd defend trans ppls rights to live their lives freely anyway, because its right and nobody deserves to live in fear.

But fighting this side of the argument isn't just about defending trans people. It's about defending everyone's, no matter what their sex at birth, right to body autonomy and to living without the oppression of living in a world led by toxic ideals of what femininity and masculinity 'should' be. If they ever win this argument against trans ppl do you idiots think they'll really stop there???

The preoccupation with what trans people look like has everything to do with non trans ppls ingrained sexism. It's about self hatred and them kicking outwards rather than inwards. They can't keep up with these false ideals of what their gender is 'supposed to look like' so rather than attacking those ideals they go 'oh look, don't bully me, bully that person'. It's a problem for men and women but as a woman I can't help but see this highly female terf movement and see the ingrained sexism, that's making these women hit out at other women. It's about self hatred. Terf women are Terrified of not looking like this ideal picture of femininity that they've been told they have to be since they were little girls and hate any part of their body that goes against that, this self hatred is so ingrained in them, that they try and draw a neat box around everything a woman is and if they see any woman (no matter what her sex at birth) not meeting that they freak. It has fuck all to do with the people they are kicking out at and and everything to do with them hating themselves. I see them picking on other women (trans or afab) for body hair, how muscular they are, their height. It's fucking crazy. They are just parroting the toxic shit that people have picked on them for.

Some people look more like our societies ideal picture of what their gender looks like, some people look less like it. By trying to promote the idea that this isn't the case and that there is one ideal way to 'look like a woman' and one way to 'look like a man' you're being a transphobic piece of shit, yes. But you're also being a sexist piece of shit and are hurting cis and trans people at the same time. Even if you can't find the common decency in yourself to be decent to other human beings who happen to be trans, maybe acknowledge that you've fallen so far, that you no longer meet any definition of feminist, trans inclusive or otherwise. Trying to group everyone in concrete boxes is just hurting everyone.

cis man with gynecomastia scars: hi

the smartest transphobes in the world: kys tranny

and people wonder why I say that transphobia is a danger to everyone.

[justalilpearlie]

Aw man I heard you were getting hated on, I'm so sorry for that, I know it sucks. :(

Dont let the hate get to you because these ppl clearly can't understand what projecting is. (I swear 90% of the majormoon community or the one I've seen are all trans, including me and we are all just projecting on are silly guys)

But if you wanna look at the bright side of things, hate also equals more popularity which means there are more majormoon fans which ive actual been seeing a huge rise so thank you for that.( holy crap that poll helped a lot)

Also like that one anon said it just felt really rude and honestly a little transphobic because they were basically saying trans!pearl x Scott is a straight ship (and like you said straight man x trans girl = straight ship and so on.)

Sorry had to be that out of my system because I felt personally attack for my identity

-SP anon (sorry if my spelling and grammar is weird I'm really tired rn)

WAHHH SP ANON UR BACK HIIII

Yes I've been out in the trenches /silly

But its okay, thank you so much for your words, they really help a lot <3

It'll be okay

Also im sooo happy abt the increase in majormoon fans recently! Ive been so happy seeing ppl outside this very small community that is my blog using it, I even made a bunch of new mutuals!!

As always, im very happy to read you, SP anon, you have a special place in my heart, as cheesy as that sounds. Im just glad to see u around cus ur fr one of my real ones, one of the ogs hell yea!

Anyways, huzzah! The community is growing! Them trans folk keep winning frfr!

See ya around, friend :]

woke up to like 3 asks today all abt duck..... omg

[happyendingsong]

i saw people arguing against the women’s title match main eventing aew this week because it didnt have the post match story of the no stakes dudes tag match at the end and lmao almost like they could’ve like. written a story. for the women.

[pixeljade]

The thing is, its easy to see all thats against us and get anxious! But its doing us a disservice to abandon hope against them, in fact, thats EXACTLY what the repubs want!! We MUST keep our eyes on what we have on our side, and right now that actually includes:

1) One of the largest and most powerful megacorporations on earth (Disney) that is SPECIFICALLY targetting RDS

2) DJT actively fighting RDS, making a HEAVILY split vote. This is a war of the cults of personality on a level I've never seen before

3) TONS of legal battles against every move the repubs make, and many of which are showing success overturning these laws

4) about HALF the states actively putting protections for trans ppl, abortion seekers, etc into place

5) The LARGEST labor movement in this country in a century, creating organization networks which will lay the foundation for any resistance necessary

6) An increasingly-younger and more active voter-base with each successive election cycle

7) More and more progressive Dems willing to fight, including using techniques like filibustering against the repubs

8) The collapse of massive sections of the Repub propaganda network, including the end of Tucker Carlson's career

9) most recently of course RDS's utter PR nightmare of a campaign announcement which basically has made him a laughing stock even amongst his supporters

10) if DJT wins the repub ticket hes basically on the way to jail anyways, with no hope of escape short of a presidential pardon (and Biden isnt THAT dumb, I dont think). In fact, he may face a rebellion from the electoral college based on convictions

11) Biden's recent increase on wealth taxes (which is actually going to limit republican donor base significantly)

And honestly thats just off the top of my head!!! Its scary, dont get me wrong, and the republicans wont go down without a vicious fight, but the winds are most definitely not in their favor! What little power they still have is through outright rigging of elections, and people are ten times as alert about rigged elections as they were pre-Trump since thats been a hot topic.

I'm of course not about to bet my life on our corrupt electoral process, and theres still the question of whether or not our country is headed for civil war (I think its more likely well see a sortof cold civil war than open warfare), but I at least have hope that this particular election is about as in-dems-favor as can be.

Honestly its looking more and more like this election coming up is an easy win for the Dems, which would make me sigh with relief but we all know theyll find ways to fuck it up

[butchviking]

tbh i think the post is representative of a theory (radical feminism) taken to it's natural conclusion, not an argument for a long term solution to issues around public restrooms. the point being made is that it's a natural extension of radfem beliefs that transmen should have access to female only spaces, no matter what their secondary sex characteristic have been changed to look like. of course, because this is based on a political theory, it would require everyone to act according to the theory in order for it do actually make sense in daily life (otherwise it would require external enforcement). the reality, of course, (and i think most radfems know this) is that a long term solution is not a set of ideas, but policies like the ones you described, that will accommodate for the realities of daily life, such as that we judge people's sex off of a few seconds of interaction with them unless we have reason to reconsider it.

idk i think in most cases where someone talks abt the "natural conclusion" of an ideology its like. not actually a natural conclusion at all. like it would be the natural conclusion of the one simple statement "a woman is an adult human female". (perhaps w an added "womens spaces should be for any and all women and only women" but u could say thats implicit in just the phrase "womens spaces" anyway making it a natural conclusion there but whatever.) but no ideology is ACTUALLY built solely around one single statement. radical feminism isn't just that one statement it's a movement comprised of many many women who agree on some core tenents but also have plenty of varied & complex beliefs. so i don't think there IS any one natural conclusion to 'radfem theory' bc there's not even one radfem theory or one radfem point of view. aren't ppl always talking abt how dworkin was pro-inclusion of transwomen in the feminist movement? (forgive me i dont know specifics on that i havent read much dworkin i hate ebooks so bad im SORRY.) she was very definitely a radical feminist but she clearly didn't have all the same conclusions as many other radical feminists.

& u say (and i think most radfems know this) abt shit requiring practical real-life solutions/policies but im not so sure they DO! not on this website anyway. i think a lot of women who call themselves radfems dont truly understand that having like. 3 core beliefs and no complex personal views built around that will NOT translate into reality. and i think many many more do /technically/ know that but would rather waste time dumbing shit down and sticking rigidly to what they think are the official radfem party lines or smthn cause they want to win arguments on the internet. and i think a lot of trans activists do the same. and i think that's why ppl keep having these dumb arguments instead of actually trying to agree on a solution and BOTH push for that solution to be implemented in real life in a practical way.

[aizenat]

Listening to conservative commentators “blame” the lack of a red wave this election season on things like mail in ballets and democrats being able to appeal to independent/undecided voters is wild. Tomi Lahren legit on Fox News stating, in laymen terms, that democrats won because people voted.

And they phrase it like it’s a bad thing! Oh people exercised their constitutional right to vote, something not all of us had until recently, and that’s why republicans lost. Because how dare people we don’t want voting actually vote! Like how insane do you have to be to make that your point! And to say it so blatantly. Like voter suppression is unconstitutional, but conservatives don’t care if it gets them their votes.

This line of thinking is ironically why people came out and voted democrat this year. Because the message has been that letting republicans win means the end of our democracy. The way I’ve heard that said so many times this election cycle. And then to pretty much prove that point by unironically saying “we need to get a handle on these election proceedings!”

Most people do not like trump. He lost the popular vote TWICE. Most people do not believe he lost in 2020 unfairly. Most people, especially moderates/independent voters who can go either way with their votes, do not like the culture war shit republicans keep trying to bank on. Wages are stagnant and inflation is drastically raising the cost of living. People don’t care about “big government spending” because that’s not what is making the cost of living go up (talking about Oz’s campaign in PA vs Fetterman’s free healthcare and lobbying for abortion rights which voters are going to care more about as that directly impacts them).

Republican politicians have become so out of touch, leaning into the most radical and zealous of their base instead of actually trying to relate to those moderates who want to see real change and do not like the culture war shit republicans have been running on for the last decade. Ppl are tired. They want to pay their bills, not debate who goes in what bathrooms and who should get married. The average American isn’t looking for a total upheaval of our capitalistic system, they just don’t want to be crushed by it. And at no point do you hear these republicans talking about tax breaks for the working class. They’re not talking about incentives to encourage companies to pay their workers well. They’re not talking about cracking down on predatory loans by banks or free childcare to working moms parents or safety incentives at schools to prevent mass shootings and the such.

Nope, they just want to keep running on building a costly wall that doesn’t impact the vast majority of Americans, bathroom bills when the average American not living in a metropolitan area will likely never meet a trans person, and robbing women of their right to decide not to risk their lives in childbirth. And then cry and blame trump or people ACTUALLY going out to vote on why they can’t win.

Republicans don’t stand for anything anymore. They just try to bank on “hey, at least I’m not that yuppy drinking soy lattes amirite?” But look at Fetterman! He is an Everyman! He gave speeches in jeans and a hoodie! He looks like the grumpy white men who work in my insanely white-male conservative industry and he believes in free universal healthcare! He believed in a living wage as the minimum wage! He believes in a woman’s right to choose! And you expect working class Pennsylvanians to vote for the tv fake doctor yuppy over this guy???? The guy who looks like the dude we call over to fix out dishwashers or would chat up at a car show or see down in jersey fishing for a relaxing weekend????? The guy who looks and lives just like us??????

Republicans are nuts and what they really need to get a grip on is building a case for why we would want to maintain the status quo because the longer we live in it, the less reasonable it seems.

Anyway, republicans get fucked. See you losers in 2024. ✌🏾

[normal-thoughts-official]

Thots on a figure skating au??? 🅱️lease

hmmmmmmm ok so disclaimer that i know nothing about figure skating so i'm just making up whatever

you got me in a difficult position here cuz on the one hand, i'd love for magnus to be a trainer/coreographer. i think it suits him wonderfully and that while obviously he is great at dancing and loves it, i think that he's more on the creative side of things, you know? so i could imagine something like figure skater alec and trainer magnus. and like alec is a shadowhunter so of course that demands a high level of control over your body that is similar to a figure skater's

but at the same time its funny to me to try to imagine alec figure skating when hes a fucking giant like that because like hes so big?? and when ur big like that ur kind of like... mandatorily graceless and clumsy to a degree methinks (not in a like oh hes always tripping and blushing way, more like the "you're on my leg, you asshole" blooper), because things aren't made for you. like really its an actual matter of accessibility sometimes, especially if you actually have the proportions of a real person like alec does (well, except for the yaoi mcfuckhands. they look big even compared to the rest of his ridiculous body he just b standing there and im like christ edward fingerhands we get it) cuz then Everything Is Bigger Than It Should ya feel

so yeah i can't really imagine alec in like, spandex being all graceful and shit, but at the same time rationally i could imagine that for his character, but also no. so i can't really go with that idea without laughing

but also i can't imagine him as a trainer/coreographer and i don't know who the fuck else is involved with figure skating anyway so is alec like, the janitor or some shit???? some fucking basketball player who sees him at the olympics??? lord help me i have no idea

OK SO IT'S BEEN LIKE 5 MONTHS SINCE I FIRST PUT THE FIRST PART OF THIS ANSWER IN MY DRAFTS (rip anon im so sorry) and i THINK i got it!!! alec could be like, the uhh personal trainer? physical trainer? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN like the one dedicated to making sure the figure skater's body is. capable of. dancing. idk how to explain it but you do get it don't you??? ok

i'm mostly going off my dancing experience here (i had dance classes for like, 10 years of my life, and ugh i miss it) and like besides dancing you always have to train like lifting and doing localized training and stuff because you can't really dance if you don't have strength and flexibility and stamina and all that stuff. the only time i would willingly work out was for dancing lmao especially when i was in my hiphop crew. anyway

and while for me the one responsible for that part of training was the same person as my teacher/coreographer (or when i was doing hiphop it was just. on me to do that lmao but i'm not complaining) i figure when you're a professional and not just a dumb kid that's probably two different people, right? if not it is now. idc

i could go with figure skater magnus and trainer alec but also im really feeling the dynamics of coreographer magnus and trainer alec? like it'd be cute/funny to see them trying to work together for that ya know. so sorry that this feels less like a figure skating au especially since it took me so long to answer it but aaa

but also i mean as a coreographer magnus would have to know how to do it obviously so you would most definitely get a figure skating magnus. alec going to close up the gym and seeing magnus practicing by himself just for fun, anyone? and magnus looks gorgeous as ever way more gorgeous than whoever they're coaching but that's just alec's opinion and magnus kind of stops like "oh, i didn't know you were here" and alec's like "oh oops. anyway keep going you're great at this" and magnus feels a little self conscious but soon he gets lost in it again because really he loves doing this and alec is just appreciating the artwork :)

ANYWAY the dynamics of trainer and coreographer are fun. magnus showing up to alec like "hey alec so i need some heavy lifting on them arms cuz meliorn [idk i don't have any better ideas for who they could be coaching] is gonna carry an elephant onstage" and alec is like "uhh" and meliorn is like "a fake elephant" and alec is like "i mean good but i still have questions"

and magnus is like "obviously we would never use trained elephants, the way they are treated is inhumane" and alec is like "you're completely right but also that's your only worry when it comes to meliorn carrying a real elephant?" and magnus is like "i'm sure you could pull it off ;) you're the best after all" and alec gives him that amused smile

advantages of meliorn: they don't care about the flirting anyway since they are literally Like That too

also magnus and alec working out together off the clock, some ogling on both sides and just generally funny competitive shenanigans. especially cuz like magnus is hella fit but alec works in that stupid gym so he knows what he's about. and alec's all smug about it like "i can lift more than you :)" and magnus is like "oh yeah? let's see how you do in the ring" "no" "yes" "no" "why, can you not do it?" "yes. i know my limits" "well that's too bad... because you're going in anyway"

cue alec falling on his face probably but also like goddamn it he's competitive and he's not gonna let magnus have too much of a win so he tries his best rip. anyway then we probably get some hip touching bullshit when magnus tries to explain it to him and magnus is flirting the whole time and alec's laughing and it's sweet

i have half a mind to make up some angsty backstory about how magnus used to be a figure skater too and his partner was (you'll never guess it) camille and then she pulled the rug from under him and he kinda left the competitions altogether for a while. and then he came back as a coreographer (listen, he loves to dance, but creating is one of his favorite parts and he was always involved in coreographing anyway. his old coreographer and him were always having a blast and camille did not like it) and this is kinda his debut as a coreographer at some big shot competition idk and he just feels like he has so much to prove?

lol bonus camille's new coreographer is lorenzo so the hating magnus squad is in thick against him and it's a whole thing you know

OH MEGA ANGSTY camille got him out of the competition because she outed him as trans and he was declassified because something something transphobic bullcrap so he wasn't allowed anymore. i assume this was like right after they won because of course she wouldn't compromise herself, or maybe it was at the beginning/pre-stages of the championship so she had time to find a new partner. yeah that last one and then she won with the coreography that he had helped them create. im saying she did that because he broke up with her finally after years of abuse both in work and out of it so she did that as revenge or to make sure he couldn't have his passion anymore. and it took magnus years to build himself back up as a coreographer this time because transphobia (and racism) in the market but guess what? he is extremely smart and talented and creative so now he is back at the championship and he wants to show the world what they have been missing on

hmmmmm also i implied this is in pairs since magnus and camille used to be one so i think meliorn's pair would probably be izzy and maybe that's why alec's involved? like he was already a personal trainer or whatever which his parents were fine with even though it's not of course as grand as they would've liked (meaning they were total asses about it) but when izzy decided to go into sports/art they lost their shit and didn't want to support her so, you know, alec did and became her trainer. which is just as well because he is the best so like, deal with it. not saying they like kicked her out or anything (esp cuz i imagine part of alec's reasoning is that izzy stood by him when he came out and if they didn't kick him out over being gay they wouldn't kick her out over being a skater but y'know) but they definitely wouldn't support her so they both also feel like they have a lot to prove

lol me: i have half a mind to make this angsty. also me: paragraphs and paragraphs of angsty backstory

anyway they win obviously idk what to tell you they just do cuz we stan talent. camille is second for maximum drama and vengeance, the lightwoods try to get the spotlight once izzy wins and she and alec tell them to fuck off, they advocate for specific rules prohibiting ppl to declassify trans ppl over being trans and that's all i have tbh

sorry it took so long to answer daiudsauihda but i hope that outline is at least interesting for you!
