TT: I went to the store with my mom and said I wanted the lesbian candle.
TT: She looked at me and said, and I quote;
MOM: u have enouhg lesbian shit already how bout getitng a gf for once thag's pretty lesiban to me
TT: During pride month, too. Like, Mom???
TT: Can you guys stop rebubbling my worst moment ever?
Wanted to draw something to acknowledge the questioning and closeted members of the queer community! All these kiddos from Lunar Boy ended up questioning themselves in the story at different moments in their life, some figure themselves out and others are still open to exploration~
I love that the quote "I already like you, every part of you- even the parts you're still figuring out" has been so beloved among readers. Even if you can't celebrate openly, you're still a part of the family!
the fact that this was my first ship speaks volumes, like of course I seek out the most problematic, toxic, aggressive person in a show and pair them with a dramatic, whiny, obnoxious brat. The cycle repeats itself again and again
I made the mistake of looking at politics first thing in the morning and now I feel like I’m gonna vomit please for the love of god we’ve just gotta grit our teeth and vote
Sorry not to be insane about fictional characters again but like. Nimona’s big “monster” scene. How she realizes nothing has changed. How she discovers her “allies” were willing to turn on her the moment there was a reason to do so. How her roar is an anguished scream. How something as simple as a kids commercial about slaying monsters, something nobody else even bats an eye at, causes so much pain. How what she turns into is so unlike her usual shifting. How the director was ready to destroy innocent people to get rid of her. How it didn’t matter to the director if innocent people got hurt just to get rid of this “threat”. How the director, just as capable as hurting people, isn’t the one demonized. How this moment has been quietly building up the whole movie, even though she brushes it off, even though she pretends not to care (how she seeks out a supposed murderer because he may understand her, how an arrow to the leg isn’t a big deal to her, how she plays up the “monster” stereotype but hates being called one, how her first breaking point is a little girl showing the same generational hate that Gloreth showed, how she always explained what she was as Nimona). How done with all of it she is. How she gives up. “I see you”.
How Nimona is such a fucking queer story that it makes me explode
I really like this blog cause it's supporting of transmasc lol! So I think I want to share my story with this one annoying kid 😊 (expect the worst the kids delusional) so I had eventually decided to come out to this thing, next day? "Oh My mOm ToLd Me ThAt YoU cAnT cHaNgE yOuR GeNdEr!" tried to explain to him that he shouldn't believe his mom all the time and hes like "NO! SHE'S MY MOM!! I HAVE TO BELIEVE HER!! RAGHHHHH AGGHHHH DJKSIAJDKSOSHF" so yeah, now I know how transphobic kids come from transphobic parents. May come back with more experiences idk
how old is this kid? if it’s a kid under the age of 10 or so, then it makes sense for them to believe their parents since most kids still idolize their parents at that age.
somtimes a boy's just gotta recognize the girl he used to be and acknowledge what she did for him and then move on to keep living his life knowing she's watching proud of what he's done
I've been doing a lot of grocery delivery in the country lately, so I ordered myself a nice bumper sticker so I fit in with everyone else's stuff :)
I've seen a lot of these lately, but they were all of a pride flag I don't recognize. Not sure which gender/sexuality has the red and white stripes with the blue with white stars in the corner, but I guess it's an ok design. The rainbow is the traditional LGBT flag, though, so I feel it symbolizes the collective queer community a little better and will be a little more noticeable/recognizable than niche flags, like this stars and stripes guy.
What exactly is the problem with "queerphobia"? I prefer the word "cisheterosexism," personally, but that's just as vague. Why can't there be words for a more broad phenomenon which includes the more specific forms of oppression OP of that post is demanding be acknowledged?
Okey dokey so this is in regards to this post: https://www.tumblr.com/fandomshatewomen/749573906105614336?source=share
And I’ll say, speaking for myself, I’m actually pro-the-term-queerphobia. Because I think it very accurately describes the process that these people go through. They come across a person who does not act in the ways that they expect them to, but they’re not gonna go through the whole rigmarole of “I have interpreted this to be an X type of person therefore I expected them to act in Y types of ways, but they have not and this is upsetting to me but that’s okay because people are allowed to upset me” they’re just gonna jump straight from that confusion to disgust/revulsion/anger and displace their poor self-regulation onto you. Or me. Or whichever queer/non-“normal” person they happen to have interacted with that day.
That being said I’m just one of the mods on the fandomshate blogs, and there’s a whole bunch of you in this audience. Feel free to reblog and add your thoughts or send in messages and we can continue the conversation :)
bold take we aren’t ready for is that people think they’re trans just because they don’t align with society’s “ideal” gender roles when in fact it’s just their personality. or because of internalized biphobia.
