oh you're a lesbian who only listens to female artists and only engages with other women and has never even thought about a man and you want to point this out as something that makes u so very cool and enlightened you must be god's greatest gift to this earth my love do you want your 5 gold stars now

not to kinda get on a high horse about this because i know ive probably mentioned her more than i should (altho in my defense it’s because i was a fan of her when i was a teenager) buuut. for people who arent looking specifically at the allegations against her or her bigotry, i have to wonder if some of the attention on lily orchard from people who were never associated with her or victimized by her just feel vindicated at a trans woman making an ass of herself online

[foccaccia]

does anyone have recommendations for fictional media that has like. actual lesbians in it. not like supergirl Two White Skinny Girls, One Blonde and One Brunette Kiss media, or "its implied lesbianism!!!" but just regular fucking lesbians

better not catch anyone worshipping the ground that jesse walks on if he becomes a playable character too considering how long HES been supposedly missing like i better not see all these asshats on twt screaming crying throwing up over him when in the same breath they were up in arms about gun making it canon that maria survived and is alive,

[enlichened]

i hate that it's seen as an antifeminist or a bad/weird thing for someone to headcanon characters who are canonically women as transmasc/trans men or to explore that at all.

i feel like the afab trans people* who believe in "male/female" socialization are the same people who talk about how eeeeevery afab person has like trauma from being told to "act more ladylike." i'm not saying that never happens, but it annoys me when people paint it as this universal fixture of being an afab child.

i do not remember a single time in my childhood where i felt pressured to be more feminine. like, i did already enjoy "feminine" things, but i also sat however i wanted and played in the mud with the boys, that kind of thing, and all the people around me were totally cool with it.

i know that unfortunately my experience isn't universal, but that's kind of my point- you can't act like an assigned sex dictates everything about how someone was raised. you can't act like it gives every afab person some secret unique knowledge on misogyny. some of the most misogynistic people i can think of are cis women! when i was a kid and thought i was a cis girl, i held misogynistic beliefs even while calling myself a feminist, and obviously that's common.

like, i'm sure all this seems pretty rudimentary and it certainly feels like it as i say it. but my god, the number of transmascs i see online acting like they're incapable of misogyny makes me feel like i'm losing it sometimes. and i don't often post about it because i don't want to sound like i'm white knighting or anything; i don't want to sound like i'm going "haha wow those guys are crazy, good thing i'm one of the good ones ;-)" and i don't know if this post will come off like that but i hope it won't because that truly isn't my intention.

my intention really is just like... idk if i somehow have afab followers who think like this, please god examine it. every time you accuse trans women of "dividing the community" or whatever, you're closing yourself off from learning something indispensable. but more importantly, you are actively choosing to make yourself someone women cannot trust. the most valuable lessons i have learned when it comes to feminism and untangling internalized misogyny have been from trans women. so many people who were afab seem to think we have a uniquely pure understanding of misogyny, that everyone else can never understand it as well as we can. that is not true at all. i know for a fact you have met cis girls who were misogynistic as fuck. remember that.

*note: when i say "afab trans people" here i'm not "reducing you to your agab" as many people claim. your agab is directly relevant to the post. i mean this genuinely: please learn to move through your gut instinct of guilt/defensiveness. it's only human, but it will not serve you well in the path to self improvement. acknowledge that it's there, and then learn to listen and consider the things that trigger it anyway. that's the only way you'll actually improve in any meaningful way.

i cant describe it but people just putting meryl and milly in the background of vashwood instead of just putting them front and centre in their own piece genuinely feels like im being cucked like why did u even bother

like damn maybe id like the ship more if people didnt just go "theyr so cute and soft and married aahhh so so gentle and femme and girly theyr so cyute" then the only time they draw them is like. idfk them walking in on vash and wolfwood fucking eachothers brains out like god. all talk.

[marklikely]

like that l.a. times article is rightfully being dragged through the mud so maybe my complaining is redundant. but i think if you wrote "maybe barbie would get a nomination if she survived a mass murder plot" you should never be allowed to write again

[animucrystal]

i cannot take people who hate retellings of myth seriously go read the source material if you are so pressed. yes its important to know the source as to not do weird things like… defend calypso or circe from doing a coercion but also like if they keep the core of the story and characters intact (which is THE POINT OF AN ADAPTATION) then who gaf

[sammygender]

if zuko isn’t meant to be gay then why do they write him. like that

chnt s2 wishlist from an annoyed lezzer

marisol and salem, who are girlfriends, to speak to each other about something besides sydney (a man) or elijah (a man)

yvonne to be friends with a woman

yvonne to talk about something besides her male friends

literally any women to be friends with each other

[vonkarma2]

like yes women can be misogynists but this is an annoying as hell false equivalence. are the women who think men who don’t like them specifically must be gay in the room with us right now. im sure there are some out there but that is not a widespread issue and if anything this feels kind of stereotypical of women. that they are often vain and self obsessed.
