[trash-and-trash-accessories]

I do want to note that the whole "women are allowed to dress masculine and wear trousers" thing needs to be viewed in its historical context:

People fought for generations to be allowed to dress that way. They fought hard to be allowed to wear pants. Blue jeans were a symbol of feminist revolution. Women were barred from workplaces and schools for wearing them.

This is not some a natural fact that women dressing masculine is less shocking and humiliating. That normalization was fought for and hard-won.

And yet so many people erase the struggles of those people who fought to make that happen and pretend that it's just normal and natural that people don't see women "dressed like men" as ridiculous.

The Marriage of Figaro has what's called a "breeches role" which is a woman wearing men's clothes playing am ale role. This was done partly due to the vocal range requirements, but in many cases it was done comedically. It was risque and sexualized or comic relief that a woman was dressed as a man.

Anti-suffragette posters mock women wearing pants - well they were bloomers and split skirts back then - and mocking more masculine cut styles of clothes. This was meant to portray this as ridiculous.

They mocked the "new woman" in Weimar Germany, lamenting that they were too masculine.

This is a political cartoon from the 1920s depicting a woman in masculine dress deciding which bathroom to use:

Sorry but you're erasing these struggles and flattening history when you say this shit.

Women were killed and institutionalized in the struggle to make this happen. It really fucking bothers me the way it's framed as "people just don't find it as weird when women dress masculine."

Yes they fucking did. Until women and transmasculine people fought for their right to wear what they want. It's normalized because people struggled to normalize it.

And it's not normal everywhere. There are many countries where it's still illegal for women to wear pants. Afghanistan, for example.

Even in the US, it's forbidden and considered ridiculous in groups like the FLDS, the Amish, and the Hutterites.

We are flattening and erasing the struggles of women when we say these things. I know we're trying to build theory here but you can't build solid theory on a foundation of lies.

"Oh so we're not allowed to say 'trans men are men' anymore? So you think they're women? You're a transphobe?"

What they actually said: "Ugh, gross, trans men really are the men of the trans community."

Times like this are when I need more people to be aware of the term "malgendering," the kind of transphobia where someone validates a trans person's gender identity just to use it against them. We can all tell all you're doing is applying your negative stereotypes of cis men to trans men, and it's not transphobic to call you out on it. Trans men do not become shittier people when they transition and you are awful for implying they do.

TERFs die mad: you just reblogged a nasty transgender person with pronouns and all who did this historical look to explore their cultural history as well as express their own nonbinary identity in a way that resonates with them. An edit I wish I didn’t have to make on this post

I’ll try to post the actual pictures I took soon, but I was bored today and wanted to shirk some other responsibilities, so I decided to do some general vague Minoan or Mycenaean look since it’s been on the mind and also my hair was looking really good today and I wanted to take advantage of that haha

silver and gold - professor!leon kennedy x reader

Professor Kennedy is marri...ed?

Well, perhaps a better term would be pining. He's relatively young, a survivor of Raccoon City, and a PhD candidate, so professor is a term he tends to steer away from. So, it's unsurprising to find him blinking doe-eyed at another professor, questions spilling past his tongue at his peer who's studying a similar topic, desperate to understand more from his... friend?

The issue lies in the fact that the two match rings, pretty silver and gold on their respective hands, carving exactly the same as the two of them wander around campus with similar books and discuss similar topics, so many of Leon's students really wonder if he's married or one of you are just... oblivious.

You entertain his questions, and he entertains yours, and the two of you bump shoulders while walking across campus, your bag sometimes on Leon's shoulder as you click through your laptop.

It's a term of respect, though, to call Leon a professor is more about respect than formality.

So, some students get a little nosy, asking during office hours if he's dating you, to which he always responds no.

Because he's not dating you, he's married to you.

Not that his students need to know.

HELP AHED AND HIS FAMILY IN GAZA!!!!

I've been contacted personally by Ahed ( @ahedfamily ), a 33 year old man who lives in Gaza with his wife and 3 children who are 9, 6 and 1 years old.

For over a year, they've had to suffer through the onslaught in Gaza and have been displaced 3 times, their home that Ahed worked hard to built being partially destroyed and unliveable. They made a fundraiser which is currently 26% fulfilled.

Throughout the siege, theey have had to travel long distances to wait for food and water with no guarantee they will have food on their plates. His children suffer from malnutrition. A bag of flour costs $250 and is often unavailable. Please keep in mind that they have a 1 year old, who depends on her family for basic function. In addition, his kids have had their education completely disrupted for a year.

All this family dreams for is peace - Ahed wants his children to live a freeing and blissful childhood, something that is impossible currently in Gaza. He wants to escape this siege to live a peaceful life with his wife and kids and you can make a difference and help this family.

Please consider donating to their fundraiser, absolutely nobody deserves to live in these conditions for any time, let alone over a year.

Please donate at least 5 euros/USD to help this family of 5 survive day-to-day. Costs of groceries are painfully high and finding any shelter, let alone a small tent is hard. Please appeal to your senses and share externally, reblog or donate if you can. If you can afford 5 USD/euros for a coffee or a snack, consider donating that money to this family. The smallest amount from countless of individuals will add up.

Costs to travel outside of Gaza are exorbitant, and this family deserve to live a simple, peaceful life. Please share and show your support to Palestine.
