“Women and non-binary people” stop. Do you mean people with marginalized genders? Do you mean gender-oppressed people? Then say that. Stop refusing to recognize the very much gendered oppression of other trans people. There’s not some chasm of difference between how our oppressors treat a very masc non-binary person and a more binary trans man. I’m also non-binary and very much oppressed for my gender but because I’m transmasculine I could never feel comfortable in a space that marketed itself like that. Tell me what the real harm is of letting gender-oppressed mascs into spaces discussing gender oppression is. Because the consequence of not doing so is denying them space for their experiences just because of their gender identity. Do better.

Someone made a post about fat mannequins but it got a little off the rails so I'm reposting them sorry op but you're deactivated anyways

[ID: three photos of mannequins in stores. The first photo depicts two in a neutral post with a more masculine figure, wearing casual button-up shirts and chino pants. The second photo depicts a more feminine mannequin in a somewhat relaxed pose, stretching their shoulder over their head with sporty clothes on. The third photo depicts three mannequins in relaxed stances with more feminine figures, sporting overalls, a sundress, and a simple tanktop and leggings. End ID]

sometimes I think about the fact that Anne Lister gets called the First Modern Lesbian when her (allegedly) more femme and non-male-attracted wife Ann Walker is apparently...nothing? a nonentity whose queerness only exists with a masc woman to cast it into relief?

anyway. happy pride.

...I seriously cannot stress how much I hate tags like "Give us BAMF Aziraphale" because it seems to imply that he's not badass.

He IS. Tell me how well most people could endure 6000 years of consistent, persistent demoralization, harassment and shitty treatment without snapping?

Do you know how HARD it is to be kind when you've been put through a system that actively discourages kindness and softness, a system that tries to beat it out of you - not physically, but still. The fact that Aziraphale got through all of that and is not just still kind, but still has the capacity to be kind to the very people who hurt him, is fucking remarkable.

Aziraphale is badass. Period. Full Stop.

It's well past time that we stopped equating physical and fighting prowess as a measure of badassery. Just about anyone can exercise and get strong enough to fight someone. Just about anyone could possibly get weapons training. Neither of these things is half as brave as putting yourself in front of a crowd of people and holding off 70 demons with just conviction and a candleholder because it's the RIGHT THING TO DO.

EDIT: I had to add this while I was thinking of it.

I feel like people are buying into Heaven's version of badassery. Angels were made to FIGHT. To fight the last big battle against demons and Hell.

Aziraphale is a deviation because he DOES NOT WANT THAT. He doesn't want to fight a war that will hurt billions and destroy the world. His defining moment in Season 1 is when he stands in the face of the quartermaster and refuses to fight the way they want him to. Instead of a weapon, he chooses to find another way.

If anything, I would think it's leading to the idea that Aziraphale feels he must fight, that he has no choice, and then, when it comes right down to it, finding another way. A kinder way. A BETTER way.

By the standards of Heaven, Aziraphale picking up his sword and fighting would be Normal. Him refusing and finding another way is what makes him Unique. THAT'S what makes him badass.

I’m glad more ppl are calling out the tropes of interracial relationship btwn poc/ white where they have the brown skin one be taller and masculine and aggressive/ protective while the white one is seen as small, fragile, feminine and need protection. Especially in regards to monsters where the werewolf is the poc and the white one is the rich vampire. I love the idea of poc werewolves but not when they’re seen as animalistic, more aggressive and masculine. Like the poc can be a werewolf but short and soft and kind meanwhile her vampire can be white but more animalistic because vampire can shapeshift into different animals beside 🦇

Clawdeen Wolf is the only Black lesbian/girl werewolf I accept. /hj

But yeah otherwise I agree. I have a post about this very phenomenon lying around on here. Either on this log or princessefemmelesbian, but I can’t find it, to my dismay. I do remember tho that I reblogged it from @lesbianslasherfilm, so if anyone else finds it, then please let me know!

I just hate the masculinization of Black women in general but especially in wlw ships with lighter/white/non-Black women, it’s gross and unnerving that people think that Black women can only be the “man” of the relationship. Never the feminine partner as they don’t want us to outshine the non-Black woman. I once saw a webcomic about a lesbian princess couple. Of course the Black princess was the strong masculine knight and the white princess was the girly sweet damsel in distress. 🙄 Also heard that some nb/white/light-skinned wlw seek out only Black female partners who are masculine or butch or try to force their Black femme partners into those roles. It’s sad. But I don’t let those attitudes define me, Black femmes exist, no matter what. And there is a space for us. We will always thrive.

[hypnagogics]

can you be butch even if you're like.... have no muscle, are not tall, know nothing about construction or cars and like your hair long.....

Me looking at an mlm ship: He would not fucking be femme

Everyone and their mothers in the comments of a post about lesbians by a lesbian: "what about meeeeeee, what about me, why isn't this post specifically catered to meee? I just don't get why everything on the internet isn't about me 🥺"

Being really passionately into your own genderbend au is all fun and games until someone has a different completely harmless headcanon about something you happened to have an extremely strong-set belief in and oh no it appears i have written a small essay in my tags on marik ishtar gender identity. How did that get there

Being Bisexual is sooo cool we can be any gender and be attracted to any gender any amount, we lovvvvve women and nonbinary people and men and even if we only ever date or fuck one of those we are still Bisexual. We aren't "half straight, half gay", because that's not how sexuality works. Sometimes it feels like we don't have our own community but tbh that's because, the Gay community? We in there. The Lesbian community? We in there. Trans community??? We in there!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!

like actually and genuinely I do think fried green tomatoes had a deep impact on my queerness as a child. I watched it when I was about 7 and at that age I was OBSESSED with male characters that acted like idgie: devoted, head over heels for a girl, the Big Hero with a little snark, the underdog. and it was the first time I saw a female character acting like that and towards another woman no less. I didn't really understand that they were gay yet, but I knew that I saw myself in idgie and that movie became so so special to me. and now as an adult and a butch... it's just always so comforting to rewatch

I’ll be honest if it were me I could not just announce in my dating profile that I was “femme4femme” like that would be embarrassing 2 me. Truly
