My Roman Empire is the way Emma and Regina were so clearly made for each other and that them falling in love would have made an incredible/influential storyline, but the writers were so afraid of success and good writing that they decided to turn two independent, powerful women into damsels in distress who base their happiness on the presence of men. And they did this for the sole purpose of proving to SQ shippers that Emma and Regina were straight.

I don't know why I delayed posting these for so long, but here are the twinning photos in Mille Rose with @fannyrosie 🌹

vkeiprincesse and I went for a house visit back in May, and we had a light afternoon meal with cold tea and lots of delicious cheese! And the lovely Madame Bissonnette was there❤️

Fanny's coord breakdown is here. My coord is much the same, except the underskirt is Mary Magdalene, hair comb Henriette (Japanese indie brand), and our shoes are Fluevog.

Meanwhile there's tons of stories that DO treat the beliefs of the locals and natives of any area as phony mumbo jumbo and only Our Facts And Logic Civilized Science can solve. Including Dracula retellings (the Voyage of the Demeter does this for example).

The consequences of colonization, xenophobia, and racism has been disastrous to humanity.

I didn't know about that part of the voyage of the Demeter, I didn't watch it after all. However, I would like to know what excuse did the writers pulled this time; considering that the whole thing of the Demeter is how the only person who has the knowledge to stop Dracula from murdering everyone aboard is the romanian first mate. Who doesn't do it because:

a) His fear of the monster who has been terrorizing his home for centuries.

b) The very real fear of his crewmates dismissing his knowledge as paranoid superstitions, which actually happens after the first mate threw himself into the sea, by his own captain!

Which ends up with the captain lamenting that he didn't do enough to stop the massacre, but still makes an effort to stop Dracula himself from controlling the whole ship by tying a rosary to the steering wheel with his hands. Again, putting the faith on a holy object that for the victorian audiences would have been an idolatrous act. Subverting the expectations around the faith put on modern science, and deconstructing xenophobic beliefs of the characters despite Dracula having xenophobia within the narrative.

Easy to understand, no? So, it's truly ironic how the bar regarding the respect of native cultural folklore based on knowledge is on the ground, and there are still stories tripping on it. If an old orientalist book like Dracula managed to put respect on the cultural beliefs of locals of Transylvania in the writing, and an author in 2024 (with all of the knowledge available right now) decides that any beliefs in the real setting of whatever book they are writing do not matter, or worse are there to elevate the Facts And Logic Civilized Science, then... The past never left us at all.

Its not a shock to me that most "transandrophobia doesn't exist" people are trans women, mostly white trans women. They have a very specific image of what a trans man looks like and it's only two categories: the hyper fem, tits out, make up, twink trans man who doesn't pass nor try to and the hyper masculine, bearded, t'd up, all the surgeries, big buff trans man who you could never clock. They genuinely think every "transandrophobia truther" is lieing about not getting privileges they don't fucking have.

They genuinely believe every trans man passes and therefore we get male privilege and they get backed up by trans men who do pass and think a cis man making rape jokes with them and asking about their lift set is male privilege. Lemme shatter the illusion because as much as you like to scream about some wide spread privilege that doesn't exist, most trans people, in general, do not pass. This is especially true for trans men due to the hyperfocus society puts on feminine features. I have never met a fully passing trans man and I've met over a hundred personally irl. never. I know they exist but the fact y'all think we, en masse, get male privilege is factually just fucking wrong.

Trans men are not more acceptable or palatable to transphobes. Trans men are not more likely to pass. Trans men in mass do not get male privilege by virtue of our lack of passing and our medical history. Most trans men are still affected by the gender pay gap and thus can not afford surgeries.

You do not acknowledge the existence of non-passing trans men, only uphold the voices of trans men who pass and have the money for surgeries (a small percentage) then wonder why trans men laugh in your face when you make claims about male privilege we do not experience.

We are more likely to be conversionally raped than you. We are more like to be forcibly detransioned than you. We are more likely to experience domestic violence than you. We are more likely to experience hate crimes than you.

Trans men's hyper visibility in online spaces dose not transfer to real life visibility. You are more likely to see white cis gay men and white trans women in any media or ever mentioned than even white cis lesbians or white trans men. Your rhetoric is the origin of the "theyfab" myth. Our issues are invisible to you cause you do not care about other trans people besides yourself and other transfems. Everyone and their trans mother knows about transmysogny and the issues you personally face yet you expect trans men to be silent about their issues and feel like they should be silent because they are men. Trans men are more likely to experience litterally all forms of violence over trans women in every single avenue of violence that exists; religious, sexual, domestic, familial, etc. We are more likely to be stopped and abused before we socially transtion than anyone else due to hyper vigilance of society over afabs. You can scream all you'd like about how we only bring up our sex/the gender we are often raised as when it's convenient but you always ignore those often traumatizing experiences when it's convenient for you.

Many Transmascs and trans men had a traumatizing upbringing because society views us as "bad women" and " bad women" get treated so much worse and by many more angles than "bad men" specifically because we were forcibly assigned as women. You take advantage of a lack of nuance in the community by trying to group us with cis men specifically because you group yourself with cis women. News flash, neither of us and our experiences should be grouped with ANY cis group because we do not have cisgendered experiences.

I seriously think you think you are the most oppressed group in the trans community and you are not, not by a long shot. You are not the most oppressed group in the transgender community and that's a statistical fact. The most oppressed group, by far, are two spirits and cultural genders by virtue of them being inherently indigenous and indigenous people being the most oppressed race of people in the community regardless of the location they are indigenous to.

You are literally taking advantage of the things that were drilled into transmascs at a young age to be seen and not heard and to be quiet and let others talk, that they are lesser than everyone. Everyday there's a new story in the community of a cis man or a trans woman getting a trans man/masc pregnant to hurt them or force them off t or to detransion, this is not a fucking accident. You are not men, no one ever said you were, but you sure love to silence them like they do.

I'm not quiet, you do not intimately know our issues the same way we do not intimately know yours, You don't get to tell us what we do and don't experience and the fact you'd rather cry wolf and suspiciously call us "bitches" than hear us out, tells me everything i need to know. That alt right to trans woman pipeline you said you escaped? Yeah, you didn't. Ur just an alt right trans woman, Try Again.
