No cause it's not funny at all when perisex trans ppl pretend to be intersex to "avoid trouble".

Being visibly intersex didn't protect me from trouble when I was 5 years old. It brought me trouble. I was 5 years old and people already made unwarranted comments about my lack of easily gendered features. I was never allowed to exist without my gender and sex characteristics being interrogated and punished repeatedly.

You're not protecting yourselves at all. Those who hate trans people hate us for not existing within their narrow scope of gender and sex. Intersex ppl have to face this from birth. I would know, man, I'm literally both.

If people are willing to call a child a "eunuch" and physically grope them as an act of public humiliation because they're intersex, as was done to me... Do you seriously think you're doing something by pretending? You're making things worse for yourself and for me. Stop it. I'm sick and tired.

And using intersexist terms while doing it, too, like "hormonal disorder/deficiency"... I'm not disordered or deficient for having a different body than you. Go directly in the bin if you think that's an okay thing to say.

I'm so tired of it. You don't understand. The violence inflicted on my body has happened since before I was old enough to know what my body parts were all called. You have no idea. You really, truly don't understand how exhausting it is. I'm not outraged anymore, not even upset. I'm just tired and want it to stop.

I want people to stop exploiting my body and I don't think that's too much to ask. Especially of other trans people who are supposed to hold community with me. The fact that other trans people are openly flaunting the fact they exploit bodies like mine for their own gain makes me want to throw up. You people are foul.

Trans Day of Remembrance should make trans people feel celebrated so they know their lives are meaningful before they die.

now I'm even more curious on how angela's childhood went

Oh! Nothing much!

tw: kinda themes of eating disorders, bad parenting, and bullying, i`ll try not to talk to deeply abt it, and go soft /i hate these themes and can relate/ but yea, just in case

She...Just got unlucky with friends here, where her creativity wasnt really appreciated, especially on holidays ( i have a hc that Swap!Angela liked using all unconventional stuff she could find in her way of expressing herself, and that looked cool, but she was in the wrong place to show )^: ), yeah, girl got a very small group of friends, and even they arent that nice, her teachers treated her better smh- and after one b-day she got the nickname "Two bits". What a friendly nickname!

Bad parenting there(not physical tho), no one wants to have a daugher that didnt get only 2 points for perfect score on the test.. Of impolite and wont finish eating the dish your friends cooked, just cause "The way she cooks is gross, i think she sneezed on the fish".

...And her tutor said: "Why would you eat so much anyway, girl, you dont look like youll need the food for 2 years" , so the prev point kinda more complex. So girl kinda became a picky eater. We dont talk abt guilty midnight-snacking on "bad" food in childhood, girl was SO ashamed when her mom found out she ate some cheese

The tutor was fired after parents questioned Angela abt wrapping paper from some burger and pressured kid to tell `em abt it-

Thanks to the childhood Angela now have a weird qurk where she NEEDS to know the price of your gift in events, so bring the receipt too(unless its from da family. Marcus is a perfectionist and very picky, Ant is always asks before gifting, so she knows in advance, and Hazel is a small bean & all her presents at that age are important)

What‘s up with yotici? Are they still around

Yeah they're still canon. Last I mentioned them was briefly in the Imperial Wardi food post because their larval young are often caught as bycatch and eaten. They might come up again when I expand more on the Jazaiti people because the shallow sea on the west side of the peninsula is where this particular region's largest yotici pod is based out of.

By and large, the majority of landdwelling peoples do not communicate with yotici or even recognize them as sapient, and they tend to be categorized as fairly intelligent and very hostile sea beasts. The peoples who have established mutual lines of communication tend to be smaller, localized populations who depend on shallow seas for their subsistence, and don't tend to have mass influence (in a game of cultural telephone, "We have established treaties with the people of the sea grasslands to graze our wammi in peace in return for protection of their gardens and gifts of trade" becomes like "THE YANTI OF THE LOWLANDS SAY THAT THE GREAT BEAKED SEA-BEASTS SPIRITUALLY COMMUNE WITH THEM, AND THAT THEY MUST FEED THE BEASTS OFFERINGS OR ELSE THEY WILL DEVOUR THEIR SEA-CATTLE. WHAT FASCINATING HEATHENRY")

Yotici are not often involved in the affairs of land people beyond sometimes being hunted with harpoons, or drowning sailors/fishermen for hunting them with harpoons/threatening their gardens/just pissing them off. They're sometimes hunted by subsistence fishing communities (and their larvae are frequently caught in nets) so most established relations tend to be hostile (with no lines of communication or full comprehension that both parties involved are People).

Most yotici cultures have such fundamentally different modes of living and communication from landdwelling peoples that many yotici don't fully recognize them as People either (also thinking of them as mere beasts, if very intelligent ones- they can even use tools!), which reduces the frequency of even attempting to establish communications. Most yotici are just kind of out there doing their own thing.

Aw geez. Okay. Guess I'll talk about that too since I've seen it on my dash

I try to avoid queer discourse especially on pride month but I'll just give my two cents here so i guys know where I stand on this I guess. No I don't want further discussions, I'm tired.

I don't like the hostility towards afab people who identify as transfem. I understand where it comes from. I understand the resentment because afab transfems don't face a lot of the real life struggles and discrimination that amab transfems face. And at first the term "afab transfem" sounds like an oxymoron so it's easier to dismiss its validity.

But saying stuff like "AFAB TRANSFEM ISN'T REAL IT CAN'T EXIST!! YOU'RE INFILTRATING TRANS SPACES!!" is too broad of a statement to make to not hurt other marginalized groups and ironically enough only ends up being exclusionary.

The type of people I've seen claim the label afab transfems are usually systems, intersex people, multigender people, ftmtf... and they're not trying to erase what it means to be a Trans woman or invading Trans spaces. They're trying to find a label that fits their gender journey.

The argument especially starts becoming iffy when it basically reverts back to "Genital = Gender" which sounds like TERF rhetoric and I am NOT touching that with a 10ft pole.

IF there are cis women trying to infiltrate Trans spaces by pretending to be trans like yeah, fucking call them out. Get their asses. But they're not being afab transfems, they're being assholes.

Everyone's gender journey is different and weird and scary, especially if you end up identifying with a gender that doesn't fit the "norm" and in the end you don't know these people or what their gender journey is. There are a million reasons someone might not feel cis. These people should be welcomed, not harassed.

At the end of the day in the eyes of Transphobic legislators we all look the same to them and they all hate us equally. So infighting is just dumb and unnecessary. Especially when afab transfems are such a miniscule minority in the queer community they cannot feasibly pose any threat to other Trans people. It's their lives, not yours, if they're not harming anyone, let them be.

no reposts including twitter right? even if it’s just a screenshot?

hm, ideally yes. but if you’re sharing it within a small community with credits i don’t really mind. i get anxious when my art leaves the target audience especially when i’m not in control of it so if you’re gonna use my art for ship wars, then is a very loud and clear no.

the ‘no reposts’ is a strong ‘no reposts’ for pinterest and tiktok because i’ve seen people post my stuff out of context and attract weird comments.

you can also use my art for edits and profile pics with credits <3

i do love that someone thinks that this makes for compelling criticism of localization instead of sounding like a 4chan greentext about weebs' heads exploding when the anime says 'bob had four red apples' instead of 'bob had four apples that are red' (the literal translation that has been butchered by localization)

[theinfinitedivides]

the face of someone who made her future stepdad do push-ups on two fingers bc he said he could do + beforehand told him he was getting all sentimental on her while she worked her magic. Azad ily bby but i'm sorry i wouldn't have waited that long to fold the minute she winked anything goes. anything she wants it doesn't matter
