ill probably delete this in a minute but ive just been fuckin boggled by what ive seen across tumblr in the last few days in particular. its why i havent really been around. like holy fucking shit, its really like some of yall just dont want a chunk of the trans community to exist. like some of yall are thisclose to saying it verbatum. way too many already have. 'shut up sit down be quiet and smile for us' type shit, gee where have i heard that before. oh yeah my entire life cause i was forcefully gendered as someones daughter. shock horror i know. you might be surprised to remember and/or learn that very few trans folks know theyre trans before we're 5, or even 10, and that that gendered experience stays with all of us in both/either small or large ways. either bc we literally dont have a solid identity yet (bc we're very small children), dont have the words, we're repressing it out of fear from how others will treat us, we're actually enjoying or enjoyed being another gender in our childhood, or we just genuinely didnt fuckin know until shit lined up later in life. weird isnt it that transmascs dont pop out as 6'1 brick shithouse cis men when we're born so yall know for certain that we're confused lost girls/women oops i mean big dangerous scary men. its almost like we're transgender too. none of yall actually know what intersectionality is or means

sometimes I worry im unknowingly making my friends engage in fetish content for me when I have OCs who have “getting pregnant/having bio kids as a trans man” as a plot point. and then I remember that I do not find those OCs particularly erotic in any meaningful way and am in fact just. doing normal oc things with characters who just happen to be trans men

Gonna make a list of queer characters that don’t outright state their queerness because a certain group of people complaining about the handling of a certain character’s arc from a certain game is pissing me off

“They didn’t make her say she was trans so that means that they’re giving us a ‘fuck you’/we need confirmation or it isn’t valid and transphobes will be transphobic/they’re queerbaiting!”

Shut the fuck up

The fact that we’re even at this point is a miracle in itself and needing every character to explicitly say their orientation and/or gender identity shows how ignorant you are, not just regarding media literacy, but also on queer history

By your myopic lens you’re discrediting a lot of queer characters that didn’t and/or couldn’t outright say that they’re queer

Characters shouldn’t have to outright say their orientation and/or gender identity for you to consider them “good rep”

That perspective is ridiculously narrow minded and downplays the importance of previous queer characters that helped pave the way to where we are now

Update: Here it is!

“so sad being a harry potter fan/jkr stan and a transphobe pick a struggle” ok but how’s it a struggle? ?? because weird losers i don’t know will try to bully me on the internet ??? y’all are just smug because you were nobody in high school and now you feel like you win at life because you have internet clout from tweens and perverted adult men plus the duds who jumped on the bandwagon because they have zero values and beliefs of their own …. like stop projecting i promise no one gives a fuck that you’re “different” it’s still annoying and your green shaved head and mushroom tattoo aren’t punk or even really that cool at all….get a grip fr …anyways i’m gonna struggle by A) being objectively right and B) enjoying my childish stories that have no shortage of material (and more on the way!) to keep me entertained

"you don't use queer because you're so desperate to be normal!!!" if you had to partake in one conversation with me irl your bones would melt from how weird and cringe I am

[garbage-floof]

Rant/Vent

TW: Transphobia and Current State of Trans Rights in the US

I hate holidays. Because sitting in a room of people who pretend to care about trans rights while not doing anything to help them, while continuing to misgender and deadname me after four years, while saying that it’s not that bad in the US, while saying it’s wrong for me to flee for my own safety, while saying that no one is actively trying to kill trans people, is fucking terrifying. They know nothing on the matter and say that I’m being a “pretentious prick” for telling them information on the matter. They say there isn’t a genocide against trans people. They say we’re exaggerating.

I’m sorry but trans kids are being taken from their families. Trans people can be arrested for dressing like themselves. Books with trans rep are being taken off shelves. Hundreds of bills are proposed that would ban us from existing. Countries are now offering up asylum to transgender Americans.

No trans person I know doesn’t have an escape route planned. We’re being killed, wiped out from existence. We are terrified.

I have had to hold my kids and tell them that if worst comes to worst I will get them out no matter what. I’ve had them send me photos of go bags asking if “will this be enough?” I go to my classes everyday scared that will be the last time I ever do. I have a group of seven I have made a plan to get to the border with. I’ve been given death threats within the past week to my face. Sure, as my bio family said, some areas aren’t “as bad” but no 13 year old should have to be making escape plans. No one should. No one should be fearing for their lives instead of just living them.

We are stage 7 of a genocide. And I’m tired of only trans people caring.

[sporkberries]

I really really dont know what im going to do to be entirely honest. I’ve been planning on transitioning for years its something I’ve anticipated and something ive been working towards and now.. i cant. Through no fault of my own my opportunity to vastly improve my quality of life and treat one of the causes of my depression is completely all gone.

homestuck ramble about the beta kids and their weird queer identities

Jade Harley is trans and figured it out super early and yeah her grandpa is old fashioned but also doesnt care. like yeah ok I'll call you jade you can be a girl i guess why not. yeah you can buy a bra and grow your hair out. and she lives the best life bein a girl n shit and the rest of the beta kids always knew her as a girl cuz she figured it out so young so win win

um years years later idfk i havent finished homestuck yet john is talking to jade like wait you're a transgender ?!! o wow no judgement but i couldnt tell haha and jades like ok thanks john smiley face

n johns like isnt it normal to feel like a girl sometimws though how often do you have to feel like a girl to bw one and jades like what and johns like dont get me wrong im definitely a boy but sometimes i can imagine myself as a girl and it feels cute i guess? and sometimes i feel like somw other unknown thing and idk its probably stupid but how did you figure out you were a girl and not just a girl sometimws and jades like ok john i think u might be a girl and johns like what

long story short john becomes john/june goes by she/they mostly shes genderfluid and is still a boy to an extent but shes transfem and starts to present more neutrally/feminine and shes like woah thats awesome so cool i didnt know i couls do that

similar thing happens with dave and rose

rose realizes shes a lesbian very early on and she can just tell that dave is fucking queer but she doesnt say much about it cuz she figured shed let dave find out on his own. she jokes about it sometimes like haha dave are u drawing gay porn or something and dave jokes back like haha totally but it completely slips his mind

fucking years later daves like hey howd you figrue out ur a lesbian and rose tells him and daves like hm. its not the same for boys though right cuz like the way a guy is attracted to something is soo different and rose is like. the gay gene runs in our family dave and i think ur gay and daves like no. fucking way

dave goes thru a crisis realizes he was in love with john this whole time and is distraught about it because john likes girls and wouldn't like him back the same way and then finally after a lifetime of denial and slight internalized homophobia hes like okay maybe i do like dick and rose applauds him like about fucking time bro good for you

waves hello hi i havent finished homestuck this is just what runs thru my head at 80 miles per hour when thinking about it
