Oroonoko, The Royal Slave by Aphra Behn (1688) is anti-racist because it is explicitly against race-based chattel slavery. It is not, however, anti-slavery, just makes the argument that many black people have royal blood in them and are therefore intelligent and driven leaders of men, unsuited for this kind of labour, and make bad slaves who will lead the slaves into rebellion because it is their destiny as monarchic heirs to be leaders of men. There's a line in it that's like "honestly JUST as many white people ought to be enslaved as black people! Race is a terrible metric for this decision!" she takes pains to talk about how hot the protagonist is because he has a European nose. It is utterly bizarre to read by 21st century anti-racist sensibilities.

The thing you have to keep in mind about Moby Dick is that it’s an explicitly anti-racist text written by a white guy in the 1850s. So you end up with stuff like Ishmael spending an entire paragraph complimenting a Polynesian guy on his skull shape.

By age 17 my boobs were 30E. I was small, and very pretty. And yet, my cis older brother with long hair has been catcalled more than me. I've been sexually harassed on the street once, ever. My family did not differentiate between gender at all; my older sister shaved her head at 12 and it was no big deal.

My earliest memories of gender was "I am not good at being a girl." The sum of "female socialisation" has been an uncomfortable standard that I could never seem to meet. I actively tried to socialise myself more as female. I now perceive my childhood more through the lens of my autism than my assigned sex. As an adult, it mainly comes up as "no, actually, I was also raised female and you are in fact being an ignorant sexist shithead to trans women"

And the only people I see framing gendered socialisation this way, in the way thats fits how I'd describe mine, has been trans women talking about the inherent violence of male socialisation. The alienation, the treatment of you as an aberration. Sex comes up as a topic and they look at you with interrogation like this is a test you can fail, because they know something is wrong with you. The exclusion, the patronisation, the judgement. Twisting yourself into a worse version of yourself to meet a standard that has and always will only hurt you.

The way some transmascs talk about violence by men against "women and people who were socialised female" is just, so short sighted and ignorant? It wasn't having a vagina that made me vulnerable to the men who abused me, it's that I was autistic and my "social skills" were people pleasing and denial of my own discomforts. It's the same shit for every trans woman I know who was abused. It's not "the female experience". I'd go even further to say that if you grew up in a stifling sexist environment that dehumanised you, the issue is not "female socialisation", it's childhood abuse.

Anyway, sorry, I was talking to my friend about this last night and it bugs the shit out of me.

Why do I keep seeing transmascs and trans men insisting or implying that all trans men are "female socialized," or "understand the female experience," or "navigated the world as a woman." Because yeah, sure, that can be true for some people. especially if you weren't gnc at all as a kid and didn't crack your egg until well into adulthood, it makes sense.

But they don't stop at saying they had that experience. It always comes with an addendum that trans men, as a group, all can relate to this experience. I don't know about the entirety of my demographic, but I never got even a little bit of what some of them talk about. I didn't even believe that women were scared of going out at night until I kept consistently seeing them say it, online or wherever, for years. I never realized catcalling was a thing until I saw some women complaining about it on reddit.

But they posit it as some sort of, you're safer than cis men, right? You know what it's like? Which, on top of being patently, demonstrably false in the case of myself and many other trans men, holds some unpleasant and often outright hostile implications about trans women. And they always deny it, but if you can't even conceptualize someone like me who grew up gnc, and never got the bulk (or any?) of whatever we consider to be 'female socialization,' what does that say about what you think trans girls went through, growing up? I don't want to speak for them, as I've never experienced that firsthand, but I can guarantee that (if you're even a little bit obviously trans) people don't treat you like a cis kid of the opposite gender. By and large, they don't get treated like cis boys.

It just makes me mad that we're taking this inaccurate framework that (ever so conveniently) puts trans people into the box of our assumed birth gender, and trying to fancy it up and use it with a faux-progressive veneer; never mind the way that transphobes use it to bar trans women from being athletes, or using the bathroom, or having access to any gendered resources they need. It would be bad enough to try and dust it off and use it even if it were largely accurate, due to the aforementioned connections to outright transphobia, but it literally is patently false. Not in all cases, obviously, but why are we trying to revamp this untrue, inaccurate generalization and pretend that we can make it 'trans-inclusive?'

Some days, it was extremely hard to stay hopeful. Elizabeth wasn't the most cynical person one could ever meet, but she certainly had a lot of reason to back her occasional bouts of pessimism. To find a safe space and company that made Elizabeth feel nothing but contentment and positivity was rare and so deeply cherished; Elizabeth felt very lucky to have found herself with Lorelei by pure chance. "You got it," she nodded, following orders easily and going to wait by the front counter.

She was already replaying their entire interaction in her mind while she waited for the other woman to finish up her work; Lorelei was so enchanting, and Elizabeth couldn't help but think about whether or not she had been as smooth and as charming as she wished to be in response to Lorelei. Thankfully she hardly had any time to overthink, as Lorelei was back in a flash, clearly skilled in her work.

"I wouldn't have been able to do it without your help, you really did all of the work," Elizabeth waved away the compliments directed at her, though the rosiness on her cheeks remained. The rosiness grew into a deep red blush at the presentation of a rose; Elizabeth's grin grew alongside the blush. "Thank you very much," she felt at a loss for words. "I really appreciate that Lorelei," she took the rose, smelling it delicately before holding it close to her chest.

Lorelei smiled at her, she couldn't stop smiling at her, her cheeks started to hurt a little. "You go wait down by the front and I'll meet you down there in a minute." She took one more second to look at her, before unsurely pulling away and walking to the back.

While there she worked as quickly as she could, she didn't want to be away from her for long. Her mind began to wander, imagining the girl just on the other side of the wall. She wondered what her hair smelt like, or what her skin felt like. She imagined looking into her eyes, and leaning in... Lorelei finished wrapping up the flowers in a nice boquet, nothing too fancy given the time frame, but they would look great in the house, Lorelei thought. She looked around the back room, at the various bouquets in various stages on completion, and noticed one in particular, lined with roses. Lorelei snuck over and plucked a small one from the sides, a nice present she could give Elizabeth. Turning back around, she grabbed a piece of paper to write a note for Elizabeth, 'Welcome to town! -Lorelei.' She contemplated putting a heart at the end, but decided against it, a little bit too forward for her.

Lorelei scooped up the flowers in her hand, holding the rose between her thumb and index finger, and walked back out to Elizabeth. "Here you go! You picked some really nice flowers." She paused, for a second, seeing Elizabeth's beautiful face again. She found her thoughts and placed the flowers on the counter, and handed the rose to her directly. "Here, a little gift from me to welcome you to the town. On the house." Lorelei would buy her a hundred roses, god, she feels like a teenager.

Could not think of what IH! Sonic would specifically say to King Sonic— I just thought along the lines of compliments on his skills in the kitchen or hospitality. I honestly just wanted an excuse to draw them interacting bc brainrot 💔

Also I just wanted to draw King Sonic

Especially since I'm on the shadow path...maybe I can do small magic until I can get to the bigger ones? Any tips?

The way Die led Toshiya further on the ramp probably so that he would have more space to fall to his knees and be closer to the crowd, then bumped into him and they ended up fused as one.
