No honey they're a murderer to YOU, but to ME they're just a traumatized girl who was feeling silly

another thing i dont like about the belief that soulmates are a strictly romantic thing is like... people in this fandom will be like "aiura and saiki are only not dating because hes aroace" which does not make sense and is weird 😭 so like you think soulmates have to be romantic but it can cancel out if one of them is physically incapable of feeling romantic feelings... which, even though its STRICTLY romantic in your mind, is apparently totally possible and somehow more acceptable than just not dating your "soulmate" because you dont like them like that

"theyre not dating AND hes aroace" makes sense. "theyre not dating BECAUSE hes aroace" does not make sense.

I love explaining gay people to my dad without explaining gay people to my dad

I think its so funny that each player got a quirky semi-game related fun fact about themselves in their stats except Bowie and Cameron LMAOO

also it really is shit how several popular bloggers were like. Horribly bigoted towards ace people when it was cool, but once it stopped being trendy they 1) deleted those posts so receipts couldn't be pulled 2) maybe put up claimed "redactions" or said "omg its been years if you really wanna know wether i still hate those people dm me" but never apologized for their behavior lmao. I don't think any of the people who did that actually changed, I just think they know it's not such an acceptable/fun target to bully anymore. It's really sick how that type of bullying was encouraged for years and how few people repented for their behavior.

the thing that intrigues me the most about the upcoming episode is that — while i could be wrong — it seems to me like the creatures kind of actually like Sean. like, the thing disguised as Draven at the top of the episode was trying to reassure Sean that he doesn’t have to feel obligated to run himself ragged doing chores in exchange for being allowed to live in the chapterhouse, tried to empathize with him over their losses, etc. all in addition to the “we’re just the same” comment they keep making — manipulation has not seemed to be part of their MO so far, I think it’s possible they actually mean something by it, and i’m curious to see how that might color the latter half of that final confrontation

Taking a break from fanart to writting fanfic has def given me a ton of ideas for paintings and I think this is why I need to embrace my adhd

gonna be honest I see anyone talking about this "my gender is more complicated than yours" shit as someone who genuinely cannot comprehend that other people that don't share certain traits with them can still in fact have rich interior lives. as an agender trans woman who uses she/her I've never had anyone say it to me who wasn't (usually unknowingly) transmisogynistic

see but im not talking about "rich interior lives" and the assumption that i am is exactly what im talking about. i am talking about the actual physical way that reality treats and percieves me in comparison to the way it treats and percieves you. saying my gender is "more complex" means to me that i am physically incapable of existing in a strictly binary world and that there is no thing i can pass as bc "binary man" and "binary woman" are both incorrect for me. and the Cisiety in question does not allow androgyny to exist - it is exclusively the timeframe people have to decide whether they think you are a cisman or a ciswoman, or a failure and a freak. i dont subscribe to that "binary privilege" shit, thats not how privilege works. but there are differences in the ways both you and i can navigate this strictly binary Cisiety!!! and those differences deserve to be named, imo

like. again. i dont have to comfort you about your own internal sense of gender before youll listen to me about my experiences in the real world as genderqueer. as a different sort of transsexual than you.

(and bc i Know what binary ppl love to say: i know not everyone is 'capable of passing'. what i am talking about specifically is the difference between being unable to pass as a cis woman or a cis man vs being unable to pass bc what i am does not exist AT ALL in a binary society, and both of those things are incorrect ans unattainable.)

(anyways if that language is too imperfect for you thats like fine but. its just confusing to me, i dont get why its hard to understand what we are talking about here. our experiences w our nonbinary genders are completely different! why do i have to discuss them like theyre the same?)

[snobgoblin]

being a trans guy is weird bc it's like you feel alienated by language a lot of the time. you feel invalidated when you relate to things only girls are supposed to relate to and you feel invalidated when you don't relate to things boys are supposed to relate to. it's just kinda weird sometimes. it's hard to explain

I think sometimes we allow people to act this way specifically Because "this is a funny joke." because the idea is that the target (in this case men) is perceived as fair game specifically for not being Able to be hurt.

it's funny to objectify men because men are the ones who do the objectification of course. let them get a taste of their own medicine, it's not like it can hurt them.

but it Can, because the problem is the behavior, not the target. and normalizing and giving a pass to that behavior unchecked allows for people to be toxic and harmful in plain sight.

and while I think it's worth pointing out that allowing this behavior to be pointed at Anyone is bad, it Is the marginalized who are hurt most by it. because there Are men who are marginalized, and marginalized people who are wrongfully considered to be (or treated as) men. and They are the most affected by being dehumanized or othered.

a person doesn't have to Be marginalized to be hurt by another human being, but not recognizing that seemingly privileged groups Do have marginalized people within them (people whose gender can even be a factor in their marginalization) is part of what helps to normalize the behavior. by pretending that there are no vulnerable people within the group you can feel good about "punching up" and ignore the ramifications of what you're saying.

I Also think people get away with a lot of open (if casual) bigotry pointed specifically at marginalized people by Being funny. to the point people will share said bigotry without even realizing it

here's the thing. I don't think that men and women can't be friends. I do think, however, that some men can't be friends with women. bc they are misogynists and don't see women as people. so if you as a man say men and women can't be friends I think you're telling on yourself
