ngl it makes me want to die a little bit that it's so often trans people who feel that sex is mutable but oppression is always-forever based on asab in ways that allow them to demand that information from other trans people. like it feels fucking bad. it feels bad when it's people holding up someone who posts a lot of selfies as transition goals to a degree they have to clarify what they have or haven't done or what "direction" they're going in, it feels worse when people are out there like "caster semenya is not tma" or whatever the fuck. i am, as always, not a trans woman, but here's a sentiment echoed by many of the trans women around me who log the fuck off, quoted directly from one: "people who draw a clear line where they say that semenya or khelif are tme and then call me tma are just calling me male at this point".

like i get it. i really do. we seek community and shared experiences, and we feel betrayed when people have less in common with us than we thought they did. [*more on this later.] but that's not those people's faults and my god in the case i'm seeing play out on twitter rn this poor person did absolutely nothing to intentionally mislead people, just posted pictures of their actual kid self. who looks a lot like i did, because shockingly enough "we can always tell" doesn't fucking work for trans people either!

on the one hand i move in intersex circles which are unapologetically welcoming in cis "dyadic" people with pcos, because it serves nobody to draw a clear line where mutilation or genetics or some ineffable childhood suffering are what make somebody intersex, especially when most of us (esp in places like nz) have never been karyotyped and are being treated for symptoms without a pinned-down cause anyway. the more of us there are the stronger we are, the more pressure we can exert on a medical profession which doesn't like to consider how common outliers are, how uneasy sex is at all. and then on the other hand there's dyadic trans people on the internet who've yelled me out of spaces because a couple of traumatised incarcerated trans women i worked with as a prison abolitionist assumed i was also a trans woman and i didn't immediately tell them my entire csa-involved history of being sexed in varying ways as an infant and child and/or exactly how big my phallus was at birth or where in my junk config my urethra lives so they could decide i was tme or whatever.

returning to the * for a related but not identical thought: i think presuming shared experiences leads to some fucked shit in general! "oh we all had a radfem phase" or "oh we all were channers" no we fucking weren't and it's particularly obnoxious when me & mine are trying to build trans community locally to organise and resist the growing wave of far-right backlash against our existence, and there's just white people in there on a spectrum from "straight up being antisemitic and trying to get the n-word pass" through "handwringing about how they need to make space for people who aren't politically correct" to "handwringing about how brown people are right to be mad at them but doing shit fuckall". and then the other fucking brown people in the space are on some identity politics shit where they're like "trans joy inherently excludes those of us who could get deported" or "big city white queers are killing us by being visible instead of going stealth bc it stirs up the discourse" or whatever the fuck i've heard pulled out this year. there's a bunch of reasons i primarily organise outside of trans spaces and that's one of them. i've never felt more alone in spaces where people claim we're all the same than being left as the brownest moderator or organiser in a space full of people to whom "this is a safe trans space" apparently means they get to abdicate all other responsibilities not to lapse into presumed shared patterns that are fucking racist or otherwise alienating. i've never felt more alone than surrounded by exclusively trans people who sort people into boxes and assume everyone in those boxes has the transition goals they have. like i was on cypro until it disagreed with me to the point of endocrine crisis and now i'm on t and at both those points people were so fucking presumptive or entitled to my reasons or journey or personal relationship w my body

literally just submitted on (and was invited to consult on) the nz law commission's review of the human rights act and like. it's straight up fucked how many nz trans people fully do not comprehend that any "sex assigned at birth" type definitions fundamentally exclude migrants who have no way of proving it and many intersex people who happen to have been reassigned later or many times or never assigned at all as a baby. we can't make law with this shit and that's why we have to have symmetrical protections for all genders/sexes/expressions/presentations, bc naming and defining a protected class here often leaves the people who already are left out from those shared experiences of marginalisation out in the cold when they face violence

I will say. even though since I've had a pixie cut the number of random men who will hit on me is significantly lowered, it's still not the ideal number bc for me that's zero

[yingren]

thinking about how i said ren has a hard time expressing his feelings. but consider when he does tell someone he loves them, their reaction means everything to him. reciprocated affection will have him so excited and he can’t even try to play it cool. he’s also awfully addicted to praise. showing someone something he did/made and them being genuinely impressed? oh yeah, he loves that. loves the reaction, gets a little kick out of it, will work harder to see it again.

OOH... i might have just come up with a new plot-line for blamore, and it is kind of diabolical, NGL 👀

[arsenicflame]

the fundamental basis of a 'sams izzy' for me is that he has to be someone canon izzy looks at and thinks "... i could have had this?"

i dont think everything would have gone perfectly if izzy had gone with sam, but i do think maybe he would have been happier than our izzy is when we see him, and i want our izzy to see that and just... wonder. wonder if he made the right decisions. was he right to go with edward? is he happy with his life?

DUST STOP SERVING WITH HORROR AND TAKE YOUR DEAD ASS BROTHERS SCARF OFF KILLER HES ABOUT TO HAVE A MOVIE REALISTIC PANIC ATTACK

[aparticularbandit]

This post is about current situations and etc. And I want to respect that and not fandom theorize on the post proper.

But this is why I feel that The Tragedy as represented in Danganronpa is so apt to our current climate (perhaps more than it might have been when it was released). Because, in my mind, that's what Junko did. More than brainwashing with videos, she took the unrest she saw in her local group and exacerbated it. The Tragedy of Hope's Peak Academy made it worse - and like with newspaper cycles that show graphic depictions of war and sometimes seem inescapable, she showed that to the people already full of unrest, already being radicalized to her cause. She coerced them to a place of wanting to burn the whole world down and then let them go.

And then that desire to go apeshit and burn everything down spread.

And like - I think this is most poignant so far in UDG because you can see that us vs. them mentality in the Warriors of Hope. Adults are evil. Children are good. Kill all adults, and you save all the children. Forgetting that children grow up into adults (and with the idea that they'll kill themselves before they become adults because they will suddenly stop being good when they grow up). DR2 gives you background explanation for how the Tragedy began (as does DR0), but you don't see it as actively on display by those who are part of the cause until UDG.

Junko literally told her people they had "no hope of any kind for any possible future" - driving despair is her entire bag, making people fall into despair is what she does - and then set them up for a "violent overthrow of society" because it would create more despair. She WANTED the more problems; she WANTED to destroy the solutions (and to be fair, Hope's Peak's research into Talent and the Izuru Kamakura Project was ALSO not a good solution. Just throwing that out there).

Junko's just the person whipping everyone else into a frenzy and then letting them go. Taking advantage of the despair they already have over how hopeless the world seems. And asking them if they want to go apeshit at the exact moment the answer to that is at the most yes it could possibly be.

❝ ... When two dudes get married, who walks down the aisle? ❞ Kazuichi asks out of nowhere, sitting on the floor surrounded by the bits and bobbles of a broken-down engine. It had been Hell to drag to their dorm- but worth every bit of effort considering the busy-work it provides his hands. His brain however, had been free to run amuck. Hence the sudden question, spoken before Kaz could think better of it.

After all, it's hard to frame a question like THAT as ❛ casual ❜ . Praying Gundham will think it's just one of his usual stupid inquires about Gay Stuff ( since Kaz hardly had much... safe exposure to the topic before Hope's Peak ) , he suddenly becomes very invested in the engine he's tinkering with. — (( he's not thinking about marriage™ or a Life with his boyfriend or anything Embarrassing like that shut up he's Not- fkjdgnkdfgd ))

@not-bcring

So used to answering seemingly inane random questions, Kazuichi gets his wish of Gundham paying little mind to how such a sudden inquiry might hold more weight than it seemed. Seated at his desk, the breeder busies himself with mending a hole in one of the mechanic's coveralls, mind too focused on not poking himself to even look Kaz's way. "I suppose it would be a matter of perference. Marriage as the common man knows it is yet another instance of Christianity inserting itself as the standard, such as with Christmas or Easter. There are numerous ceremonies around the world that do not feature the father 'giving away' the bride, nor the covering and subsequent removal of a veil as a show of submission and purity.

"There are many couples who forgo a ceremony as a whole and simply sign their marriage documents. In the end, it is the pair looking to be joined in a union who decide how to consummate the ritual. In truth, I have never understood such a union beyond societal norms and simple tax related benefits. The sentiment can be meaningful, I suppose, however in terms of practicality it escapes me."

imagine how drastically different spending a day with barton could be as his friend though... like, it's literally a coin flip between him doing something illegal but perhaps objectively kind of funny in a 'wtf is happening?' way, to him doing just completely morally bankrupt. and for the first thing, i'm talking about barton stealing all of the candles of a certain scent from a store because he liked it and because 'they're already making enough money.' or, for the latter, barton not telling your muse anything about how everything they're doing that day is to prepare for him to MURDER someone. which then all of a sudden comes to a climax when he kills them like that is a totally okay to do (and this is sarcasm, OFC jsjsj) while he genuinely thinks he looks like this to your muse afterward when he just committed a damn atrocity:

Spoilers/Leaks for JJK 247❗️

I read this when I saw the fan translation was out and have been SO busy since, so my thoughts are everywhere. But Yuuji!!

Liked this chapter, although very sad over Higuruma (my favorite new character of the culling games ;-;). I expected many deaths with the Big Boss fight and unfortunately he had a lot of death flags and not much of a future :( Despite the Nanami comparisons both from fans and in the manga, he’s been a huge comparison to Yuuji for me too, with their guilt, “death wish,” and desire to fulfill their role. Not a mentor like Nanami or Todo, but closer to an equal in their attitude and approach. His fate makes me curious to what Yuuji’s will ultimately be.

I actually think Higuruma’s death was fairly well done. It’s clever that Higuruma thought of using curses from dying to his advantage. One of the better (side character) deaths in JJK, although I’m slightly confused on how RCT works since Higuruma got it. Are Sukuna’s slashes too deadly and quick for Higuruma to heal from?? If it wasn’t for his last words being a way to strengthen Yuuji, I’d say there was a chance of survival, but that’s extremely unlikely.

I’ve only quickly looked online and have both seen comments that Yuuji isn’t fast enough to defeat Sukuna and also that the blood technique was Yuuji’s??? I’m not a powerscaler so I’m possibly missing things, but I don’t know what sprung up those???

Expecting Ino (part of that new gen.) and Choso to survive this fight. At least with Choso, he needs to live long enough for Yuki’s sacrifice to not be thrown completely in the garbage.

I’m enjoying this fight SO much more than the Sukuna vs Gojo (although not as much as the recent Takaba vs Kenjaku or Yuki/Choso vs Kenjaku) especially from the protagonist side, but I mostly want Sukuna lore soon. There needs to be something else to make his character more captivating if this fight will continue. Or else it might feel repetitive and uninteresting to have the same routine of characters dying to him. There were a LOT of fans making fun of Sukuna being a cursed or neglected child, but I don’t mind having backstory, especially if we get more into his whole thing with cannibalism. On top of that, the protagonists need a small victory or perhaps even an update on Megumi for the same reason.

I’m not sure if Yuuji has RCT, but I’m inclined to think that him being unaffected by Sukuna’s attacks was a result of either being a cursed object from Sukuna’s CE or (possibly) eating his brothers (also cursed objects). Love seeing Yuuji fight and I hope Higuruma’s death isn’t in vain.

Honestly, the way this chapter ended was very cliffhanger-y and I’m expecting something to go wrong OR a classic shift of perspective. I don’t have much else to say because the direction of this chapter depends more on what I see following it. Sukuna still hasn’t used his fire powers, revealed what the hell allows him to have those powers, etc.

Hoping for some good stuff in later chapters (sooner rather than later), mostly with Sukuna’s character or the fight progressing. At least there’s around a year left in JJK—need that to be enough to conclude this and Kenjaku’s backup plan (along with character conclusions).
