Someone: What's your sexuality?

Me: well you see, I never had a serious crush on anyone. Also, I had trouble understanding what a crush even was for most of my life. Also, I identified as aroallo for a while because I thought I was aro but not ace, but now I think I'm ace too. Also, fictional crushes. Also, I enjoy learning and reading/sometimes even writing about kink but have no idea if I would be comfortable actually participating on it. Also, some days I'm perfectly happy like this but other days are still confusing and shitty because it's all still new to me. Also-

The TikTok queer community is just, SOOOOO close to being transphobic loud and proud. This person had pansexual in their bio. Like okay, let’s do the work FOR the oppressors!

And I’m not trans. Don’t get me wrong, maybe my opinion is wrong!! But I don’t think anybody who identifies as something, and purposefully plays with gender on the opposite spectrum, is going to attack you. Some trans people take pride in being confusing. Every trans person I’ve ever met was kind and understanding and if you are getting defensive like this over a fake scenario, YOU are the issue.

Why are you imagining this scenario. Why are you possibly IN this scenario? Being gay doesn’t give anyone a pass to openly be an asshole to others in the community and the comments were like a stomping ground for other gay people to say “yeah….you know I DONT like it when trans guys wear feminine clothes, or when a trans girl talks about her JUNK?”

And the speed at which I clocked who was transphobic was intense. I would say impressive but they’re not hiding it, so I don’t have to really look. Anyway, if you see one of these videos, speak up. Make ‘em feel bad. They should. If you’re gay and think you have the right to disrespect others based on the way they look, guess what! I’d doesn’t matter what you identify as, you’re on the side of the people who don’t like you either.

Sorry for the water filter but can I be honest the more I think abt it the more I kind of hate this post. I think it'd be better if it didn't namedrop an actual real life trans person for the sake of going "ew, I don't wanna look like THAT" (especially when contrasting him to these random guys, all I hear in "Elliot Page does not look like Just Some Guy" is basically "I don't think Elliot Page 'passes'"), but even then I think it's interesting how "I am a trans man who wants to present traditionally masculine" is presented as like, the hot take of the century. Should we throw a party. Should we invite. idk. Buck Angel

i think it's pretty neat that selwyn and natasia, and possibly lark, are pansexual because this gives rise to two speculations;

all demons are pansexual; incubi succubi concubi discussions over. its time for cambions.

i am a demon; therefore I'm hot af i just need those goddamn tattoos-

it's kinda sad to me that yahiko can only be Naruto. Back in roleswap you said the Ame 3 were swapped too and i could see how konan and nagato were swapped w the woman being nagato and konan being Sasuke but i was racking my brains trying to figure out how yahiko was swapped... (Other than him being alive when nagato wasn't)... But nope he's just Naruto like in canon but alive lmao

So I am the worst source alive on this, because I barely remember the Pein arc that I last read 15 years ago. I'm not saying I'm correct. I am actively a terrible source. I'm out here just reading the wiki. However.

It seems like he's not exactly Naruto. Actually, it seems like Nagato "God Complex Let's Kill To Stop Killing Pain Is The Purpose" Uzumaki got that idea from Yahiko, exactly as Kakashi got his philosophies and fake personality from Obito. I was surprised to read this, as fanon!Yahiko is really "just basically Naruto", but it looks like he's kinda sketchy. From the same source (just the wiki.) it seems as if Nagato was the sensitive, pacifistic, kind one. TBH, even in canon Nagato was Woman Gendered at first. Trans rights.

I've shown extremely little of Yahiko so far, and the extremely unreliable narrator Kakashi has been interpreting him. When I decided to give him elements of Naruto's personality, it was through making him the kind and gentle and therapy-no-jutsu type. One might wonder if he picked up those traits from the dead Nagato. If so, who is Yahiko underneath that?

You'd think that swapping Naruto characters would be really easy - just, like, have the three man cells pass their genders to the left, it's fine. However, when 1/3 of every group has nothing going on (obviously, either the character who died from the start or the. Woman), there is nothing to swap with, and it actually gets pretty hard. I'm also thinking about group dynamics, needs of the plot, and what's most interesting/funny/fucked up. I'm improvising much more than I normally do.

Trust me, I only go with fanon when it's the most interesting. 'Just kinda Naruto' Yahiko is way less interesting than what he seemed to have going on up there. One of the rules of the story is 'everybody is the exact same person, just different alignments' - so you have to look at the sunshine boy and wonder where is the person who inspired Pein towards supervillainy. He's there. Kakashi just hasn't noticed.

the ability to change fate... that's the power you were fighting to stop.

redraw of something i made at 14!!! wild how time passes

[cheriscelestialsolarsys]

fuck man. what if i wasnt a guy though

An argument with my mother about my gender a while ago

Me: “well, i’ve kind of always felt a little wrong for this body”

Her, frantically scrambling for a pen and paper to write ideas down on: “well, what could it have been as a child to make you feel so wrong that you resorted to THAT”

Me now, thinking back on it: “well maybe i’m neurodivergent/possibly autistic too”

(emptying out my drafts, here’s one)

[hismourningflower]

i find it bewildering that people talk about my pronouns and how i’m experimenting and not able to find what i’m comfortable with right now. a personal reminder that religion doesn’t excuse basic human decency and understanding.

my gender has not changed since i was 16, i am merely unsure of which pronouns i’d like to be referred with and honestly, i lean towards all even if you see me use some over others. regardless of whether i changed from they/he to they/she recently, i’ve used they/them since i was 16 and that’s not a wild concept to use them if you “can’t keep up” with me finding what fits me!

Under the cut are mostly self-insert doodles of decreasing quality. Again, not much directly tied to Team Fortress 2. Might as well toss these out while I have no access to my puter. Much yapping under the cut and in the tags incoming.

Another self-insert, this time less of a "here's me as a tenth class" and more of a "here's my game experiences translated into the class I would take the place of". The Cleaner. Although I guess they could still be wearing either suit. It doesn't matter that much.

That one Convict's Case taunt with Backup would be extremely funny, because the man would be on the verge of a breakdown (he does not want to go to jail so bad you have no idea). The second image- I owe no explanation. You know what I am. You see the pattern with my favourites.

The duality of the man. Resting face versus "just heard you express interest in religion/Russian folklore" face. He's not that hard to make friends with, when you pull him away from all the explosions.

Some doodles of trying to figure his face out. Unfortunately, the more I stare at him, the more I worry that he looks like A Certain Guy With The Last Name "Kazarin", and the fear of never being original in my life caught up to me.

Don't look at me, don't perceive me, I refuse to explain any of my actions to you.

Hey

This is like a /pos question bcs I'm trying to learn more about gender :>>

How come you're a boy when you have your boobs showing? /gen

I was raised in a rlly strict household and I'm confused, how does it work?

Sorry if it's an offensive question, I'm just really confused :<

HAIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS NOT AN OFFENSIVE QUESTION AT ALL DON'T YOU EVEN WORRYY!!!! iii am genderfluid so that means i am a Girl and i have tits and a cunt:3 buuut on some days, well, most days i simply feel like a Boy. btw i'm a terrible person to ask for an explanation i am a terrible teacher lmao aaanyway i was born a girl but i just don't feel like that most of the time and that's the easiest way to put it. i am a girl and i am a boy. just depends on the day.

gender isn't all about your physical features, like yes i have tits but that doesn't really stop me from being a boy. girls can have dicks and boys can have pussies and that's what life's all about babyyy!!! i think the way to start understanding gender more is just to be more open-minded because you're right - it is fucking confusing. buut just forget about the typical binary rules and honestly remembering the boys can have pussies and girls can have dicks saying is a good little thing to remember lmao

[chiropterancreed]

i feel like rockstar lestat will have a mostly femme and queer fanbase, and instead of getting weird and uppity about it like so many insecure men do, he'd embrace the hell out of it. i feel like he'd do interviews for his music, maybe before the concert or any music videos come out, and he dresses typically masculine for them - of course, he's mixes fabric textures and wears complimentary colors, but because he makes rock music, lots of "manly men" can assume he's like them.

until the concert. walking out on stage in a corset, fishnet, black leather and a face full of makeup. he should be like cher and have costume changes!!! and he loses more and more clothing as the concert goes on, and all the weird music dudes who where excited are just... surprised.

singing with his beautiful deep voice, drawing the crowd in with his beautiful face and music. i just feel like he's not for the typical "dude" crowd. and he'd be proud of it!

he's not at all insecure in his masculinity. he's an 18th century man at heart (with all the problems that come with it). he knows what and who he is, and he's not going to let anyone tell him otherwise.

[lunar-wandering]

funniest part of my gender tbh is that sometimes i'll be laying around and just have the thought "holy shit am i a guy right now??? wait. wait. hold on. oh my god i am."

[friend-of-a-cat]

The Gender Crisis™ is still Gender Crisising™ but I don't have time for that right now lmao.
