#boo transphobes

i feel like pride month is the perfect time to reminisce on two instances i've had of coming out, one very negative and one very positive.

negative: (very transphobic, you've been warned) coming from a trans girl: "you can't be "genderfluid" you're ruining all the work we've put in because you're a straight girl that wants to be special. you're not really trans so don't act like you are."

rating: -10/10, still to this day i feel uncomfortable identifying with the trans community and calling myself trans or even genderfluid, i just say i'm genderqueer abd get nervous when other people call me trans bc i don't want anyone to call me out and then everyone think i'm some imposter

positive: coming from my brothers: "we don't care who your bring home as long as they're not ugly. you can do better than that."

rating: 100/10, no notes. also had a lasting impact but that impact is making me giggle when i remember it

I'm so tired of people complaining about MM's portrayal of Thetis, like I generally don't like to post negativity because no. And I'm not the type to complain about "media literacy" because half of the people who complain about it don't even know what media literacy and critical thinking is, and the other half are just self important arseholes who believe that their only redeeming quality is that someone in high school told them that they were smart

But to anyone who ever said that MM was demonizing Thetis. I'm taking away all the complex women characters until you learn how to be nice

MM wrote about how a woman that was forced to have a child she probably didn't even want, then come to love him, only to learn that she was going to lose him very soon anyway

She was panicking, so she tried to be controlling in hopes that she could achieve this one thing that maybe could prevent her child from dying

And she was so focused on protecting him, that she didn't realized that she was hurting him

In the end, she has to come to terms that in her way to protect this image she had of him in her head, she ended up hurting her real son and didn't even knew him

Thats why she asks Patroclus to tell her about Achilles in the end, to understand who was he beyond what she wanted him to be and comes to terms with the fact that she could've spend all that time being happy with him

But then I see people going "ThEtIs ShOUlD bE a GoOd mOm"

Like of course, reduce this complex character that this woman is, an imperfect person and an even more imperfect mother to just a stereotypical good mom without other personality trait other than being a good mom; thats sooo feminist 🙄 (it's sarcasm)

(And why should she ever be kind to Patroclus when shes A GODDESS!?!?!? Patroclus is like an insect to her!!!!)

I'm not saying that MM is beyond criticism, like why are Menoetius and Pyrrhus soooo one dimensional. But when you're criticizing some part of the book that's not even true, it makes me think that some of you went "I personally don't like it therefore it's bad iabdkabhsishsysk"

Shocking, but you don't liking something doesn't mean it's inherently bad

...um Lily, do you know what a terf is?

I don't think a trans person could be a TERF, but what do I know.

"Baby Lasagna should've won, robbed uncrowned king" Oh he should've won? What, because he's a man? Because a man has to win the Eurovision? Man-o-vision?

Yea that's what yall sound like when you say Nemo only won because they're nonbinary. Ridiculous isn't it, go cry about it

Who ever follows me go boo this person. She's a MAJOR transphobe and a Trump supporter

I wish the world could swallow up people like these and make them burn for hundreds of years so that they can regret what they've done in this world 💀

Bro, stop declaring to yourself and the internet that you want the upcoming Harry Potter series to bomb. Have you seen how successful Hogwarts Legacy was? Joanne Rowling and her franchise are not going to dwindle down in popularity anytime soon. Stop harassing people and let them enjoy a series they love. Just chill :)

I hope you and every HP stan gets cement in their water pipes :))

remember transphobic tumblr staff!!!! fuck tumblr staff!!!

Happy Pride Month everyone! Remember 4 months ago when the CEO of this platform harassed and chased a trans woman off this website just for posting her transition timeline, then chased her to other social media platforms to continue harassing her, and threatened to call the FBI if she continued disputing the multiple dubious terminations of her blogs that did not violate tumblr's terms of service in any way? And despite tumblr staff insisting that the CEO was acting against their interests, the broad transmisogyny evident in the site's culture and moderation policy has still not been adequately addressed?

When the Hospitals of Regina Foundation invited former Saturday Night Live star Rob Schneider to perform at their Four Seasons Ball fundraiser, they probably weren’t expecting to have to issue an apology. However, that’s exactly what the Canadian charity ended up having to do, after the increasingly right-wing and controversial comedian reportedly offended the majority of the audience at the event by telling anti-trans and anti-vaccination jokes. The Four Seasons Ball took place in Saskatchewan, Canada on Saturday (1 June), with Schneider’s allegedly misogynistic, transphobic and Covid-denying jokes going down like a lead balloon with the audience, with some attendees claiming the comedian was “booed off-stage”.
