#attraction to transness

[objectum-conceptum]

Hello. ☺ I have a few requests if that's ok. 💗

A term for when ur attracted to pictures, a term for when ur attracted to the concept of transness, and a term for when your attracted to restaurants. If any of those terms already exist, can you pls link them for me? Been scavenging for the past few days and I can't come up with anything unfortunately. 🥲

Yeah of course! Here's some terms and flags, though I'm not the best at naming things

Photojectum- An objectum term for being attracted to photographs

Transceptum- A conceptum term where you are attracted to the concept of transness (note: not a trans fetish, attracted to the *concept* not necessarily the *people*)

Popinajectum- An objectum term for being attracted to restaurants. Comes from the latin word 'Popina', commonly meaning restaurant, and the word 'Objectum'

i've been thinking a lot about the word "representation" and what it means and how it's changed over the last few years, particularly when it comes to the writing/publishing landscape but also in movies and tv shows… and i really don't like it anymore. to be clear, of course i think it's important to have diversity in your work, i'm not saying i hate the concept of representation. but i do really dislike the way it's used now, and i really just hate the word itself

in a broader sense it's just become a marketing tool. i'm not impressed by any publisher or author who just describes their book by listing all of the minorities/identities the characters represent as if that should be enough. it feels very gross, very exploitative and disingenuous. it also really bothers me because it's always marginalized identities- which i understand Why, but it feels very othering to me (and again. Very exploitative as an advertisement). you would never list out "cishet able-bodied white man" as a character description to pat yourself on the back over. so why do it to everyone else? why insinuate that one is the "default" and the other one is "special"? (and when i say this i'm mainly talking about advertisements/marketing. i understand why people would specify about characters in descriptions with the plot, but i don't like to see an ad that's just "this book has gay people!" with nothing else)

which then leads me to my other point, which is that a lot of people treat "representation" as if it's "too hard." like "oh i don't know enough to write about that, i don't have that experience, etc" which is a fair way to feel! however… it's weird that people only say this about writing trans characters or characters of color. i'm writing a story right now with a character who is really into motorcycles. i personally do not know that much about motorcycles, so i researched what parts are what & what different kinds of models there are & what basic bike care looks like. i guarantee Most people will have to google something at some point in their writing process. so what's the problem? it also, again, feels very othering when authors treat certain groups of people as "impossible" to write, "too hard" to understand. they are just.. people. you write them as a person. and then you figure out the rest later.

and i think part of the refusal or fear to write something outside of your experience is because of the way representation is treated as So Special. these characters are So Special that they aren't allowed to be anything other than "representation." they're Not allowed to be characters with complex emotions and interesting motivations, they have to just be Trans or Gay or Disabled or whatever. they're not allowed to be people. which means, at the end of the day, we loop right back around to where we were at the start….

there is bad representation. there are depictions of certain marginalized people that are harmful and that are damaging, i'm not trying to minimize that or argue against it at all, in fact we should all be mindful of that while writing and reading. but i also think it's possible to swing too far in the opposite direction as well and put certain groups of people on a pedestal and not allow them to do anything at all but be Perfect Representation, if that makes sense.

I am very annoyed with everyone now reviving the “good omens (book/s1) was queerbaiting” debate. what part of “angels are generally sexless” and “crowley and aziraphale are canonically non-binary” and “‘I am THE southern pansy’” did y’all miss

[spocks-kaathyra]

the thing abt the term "帥t" is that yeah, it pretty much just translates to butch, and no, I would not describe myself as butch (bc I'm not lesbian), but 帥t is still, like. the best description of my gender that exists. I'm butch but only within a chinese cultural context

lrb slightly different topic but I think sometimes about the chaser I slept w a few years ago who at that point in time was the first person to rly make me feel wanted and valued and respected in bed and like yeah I wouldn't have wanted to date him necessarily but he was kind and considerate and I did not feel like he dehumanized me in any way, he just happened to be someone who liked the kind of body I have

(someone makes a good post abt an issue i care about

(unlikes it real fast bc OP added an unnecessarily hostile edited note towards bi lesbians)

[carbonateddelusion]

there's part of me that worries that it's weird I'm putting so much thought into pre-transition Mari, but 1. I'm ALSO a trans person 2. it's a big part of her character so I think it's natural that it needs to be developed

This is a thesis I've had for a while but after years of observation I really can confirm that the main difference between straight women and bi women is that straight women peg their boyfriends as like a "feminist takedown of his Male Ego #peg the patriarchy" and bi women peg our boyfriends because we like hole
