i’m sure you don’t have transphobic opinions on neopronouns

i'm glad you're sure! this is not the first time i've been bullied over pronouns, because some rando once threatened to report me to my department for teaching about neopronouns in an intro linguistics course.

I hope yall enjoy my original posts.

I'll tell you a story.

When I was a kid, and through my teenage years, me and my dad would talk about some of anything in the car.

Girls, band, music, philosophy, religion, jokes, funny or ridiculous stories, science...I like my dad. Actually, I did the same thing with my brother too

I must say I got spoiled by that because now (I'm 42 now) any time I'm in the car with someone, especially someone who I think will understand me, that's exactly what I wanna start doing.

This blog, I guess, is kinda me sitting in the car with you.

We're all cruising through life together, and I might occasionally just pipe up with whatever I happen to be thinking about. If you think of it that way, my blog might make more sense.

❤️

In any case, please enjoy my blog. I truly do try to write everything with love.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here

Blue Eye Samurai is trans, right?

I just finished season one and have some thoughts. I'm a fan of the author is dead and personal interpretations of media being valid, but if the coming arcs turn this into a queerbait situation I will be sad.

I read Mizu as a gay trans man who does not have the language or examples of transness present in his society to come to an understanding of who and what he is. Even for me as a trans person now it was really hard to come to full a understanding of myself and my desires with so few examples to identify with. I went for years living in an in-between state, verbally and internally denying my identity, and making failed attempts to assimilate into cis roles before I figured out what is really going on. I can't even image how much harder this would be for people living in the past.

Mizu's tendancy to want to confide his real sex to people he is close with feels to me exactly like what I have to go through when I am deciding to come out to people as trans. I live as a man now, and now people that I meet perceive and refer to me that way. But being trans is still a big part of my experience, and something that I often feel a desire to confide, while I also worry that it will change how I am perceived and treated. Mizu doesn't want to be treated as a woman, but he also doesn't want to deceive those he cares for. And he also wants to be with men and desirable to men, which creates another place of tension against his identity.

We see Mizu attempting to assimilate into the role of wife, and it is clear how uncomfortable in that role he is. The more his husband Mikio allows him to be himself and express his masculinity the more Mizu falls in love with him. He wants to be treated as a man and an equal in society, to be one of the guys and to spar on with Mikio on an even field. But when he finally fully shows Mikio his true self, the formidable swordsman he is, Mikio is repulsed and rejects him.

I think the most powerfully trans moment in the show was when Mizu was at the brothel and reacted to the sight of two men kissing. As a gay trans man he instinctively identifies with the two men.

It's possible that the next season will attempt to scrub Mizu's character of queerness and chalk all of his behavior up to pragmatism. We have this season, and it is trans as hell, but it would suck if the next season were to change Mizu to fit him into a cis narrative.

Perhaps Edo period Japan did not have any language to conceptualize what it might mean to be a trans person, but this is a modern piece of media, subject to modern analysis and interpretation. Considering how much blatant trans coding is built into Mizu's character, it bothers me that the creators refer to Mizu as 'she' while the character is almost never referred to that way in the show, and have nothing to say about the trans interpretation other than "oh that's cool, yeah you can call her 'they'."

All my summer clothes are femme. I'd go shopping, but I don't have any money until next week.

Im on a field trip to a historical museum and instead of saying male and female bathrooms he said normal people and people who wear capes I'm having a great day

[ihopeitgetsokaysoon]

Ma'am?

I don't want my body

I hate her for being small

Not little, just unthreatening

God forbid

She takes up space

God forbid she complains

I hate she's a her

I hate that I tried

I tried to be a boy

I still wish I were

But I gave up

I'm all of it

I'm none of it

I'm girls

I'm not

I'm boys

I'm not

I'm nothing

I wish

I don't really hate her

I wanted to love her

But she hates herself

She didn't know it would be hard

She didn't transition back

She never got the chance to start

Only people who understand me

Get to call me like that

I'm still dynamic and fluid

But it hurts

I'm stuck like this

I'm stuck like this

And it breaks her heart

I'll never be a boy

I could try harder

There's options

I can't afford them though

I don't care

I don't care

It doesn't hurt if I don't think about it

Just like everything else

In. Our. Lifetime.

A poem about the end of dictators and billionaires. Written by Princess Mihai

Friday, December 8th, 2023

I will live to see the day when all humanity is free

The rich and influential losing all they used to be

Inspiration, art, and talent, common future we define

With an eye upon our history lest we continue blind

I will hug the nearest person and await the final breath

As the people put the last remaining dictator to death

He would revel in the glory of our misery and tears

And imagine that he takes some sort of power from our fear

In reality, in truth the only measure of his fame

Is the seething boiling hateful way with which we speak his name

There were many who have vanished, precious few stepped down with grace

Many thought themselves too rich to meet their end with boot to face

No one needs a billion dollars, in the end you have a choice

Will you die to keep your money or support the people's voice

I will see the final dictator lie down and face defeat

Nothing further they can purchase, no one else that they can cheat

Where will you be on that day when all humanity is free?

Holding onto all your money? Making good your plans to flee?

Or will you come stand beside us, friends and neighbors, hand in hand

To every people, color, gender, sex, religion, love, and land.

End EVERY occupation.

Peace. Now.

Zero billionaires.

Life wins. Love wins.
