#to all my trans peeps

[asymmetricallyanxious]

So! Since some people are clearly INCREDIBLY dense, let me make myself perfectly clear. If you are buying that game, I do not like you and you deserve to feel any and all guilt that decision brings you. :)

I do not condone death threats or any other harassment or hateful/violent speech towards any human being. However,,, letting someone know they are actively causing harm and by knowingly doing so have lost my respect and any trust/validity in my eyes is NOT harassment. It is simple fact.

I personally have never gone into anyone’s comments/reblogs/replies/etc. and shamed anyone. Ever. However… this is my blog and I hope all of you buying this racist bullcrap feel shamed and ashamed of yourself. I hope your experience with it is terrible. I hope you take one look at that disgusting excuse of a “plot” and vomit. I hope you learn from your mistakes and do better.

But if you don’t… you do not deserve my respect. It’s very simple. I feel like a lot of people have said this in much more descriptive terms than me, and I’m not looking to engage in discourse, so I’m not going to attempt to change your mind. I will say that if you are thinking of buying this game, and you’re feeling guilty? Good. You should feel guilty.

We are not children anymore. I would hope for everyone’s sake that we have grown the capacity for compassion and love of human beings. I would hope we have all learned to think critically and use kindness. But if you haven’t… you should do some self reflection, because blaming trans people for your guilt over a nasty decision YOU MADE is NOT OKAY.

I personally don’t care if you disagree. I personally don’t care if you’re an ignorant misogynistic racist transphobe. But DO NOT claim to be an ally and disregard it when it’s convenient to you. You do not get to spit in my face and tell me it’s raining. Shut the fuck up and go be a bigot elsewhere.

If you disagree do not argue with me… you will be blocked immediately and I will move on with my life secure in the knowledge that my worldview is not based on insecurity and vile hatred. I am actively working on being a mindful of others as I can. This does not make me weak or soft or stupid or whatever the fuck. This makes me actively stronger and smarter than any terf has ever been.

I will be blocking anyone who comments/replies/reblogs any stupid ass comments. If anyone wants to add their rants on this post feel free. I’m tired of this shit. I’m angry. It’s okay to be angry about other peoples harmful behavior. It’s okay to call them out. It’s also okay to block them when you get overwhelmed or sad at the state of this shitty world. I highly suggest playing the block game with any terf/idiot in the replies/reblogs. It’ll help you to just slap a ban hammer on them and move on. You will live rent free in their minds knowing they took time out of their day to reply and you didn’t bother responding. And you can move on and never think of them again!!

Anyway, to any of the many people being harmed by Rowling and her nasty terf cult. I love you. You’re allowed to be upset, but just remember this is ignorance and insecurity. None of this is your fault and you are beautiful. We are beautiful. Have a beautiful day lovelies! 💜

i've started to think a lot about how one might manage being non-binary / trans in a post-soviet country. atp, as a russian, i think i was immensely lucky to have been able to use they/them pronouns for a while, in a confused-but-still-got-the-spirit social circle anyway--they didnt know a thing about being non-binary but supported me nonetheless. i myself have met nb and queer individuals too, even without socialising much. but now im wondering how do people go about the actual process of transitioning on hormones here. well, how they did, anyway.

I had one of my gay guy friends who I haven't talked to in a while ask me "so who's your boyfriend~" and I realized, in that moment, that I haven't told most of my friends I've switched teams and my gay man homosexual relationship is now a lesbian they homosexual relationship.

The pretty fanart of the ladies in space made me watch a Signalis let’s play

I don’t know what happened but that was fun

OH MAN, Signalis is a trip. I love it so, so much enough that I wrote fifty-something poems for it lmao and it's lived rent-free in my brain ever since. I haven't watched anything more recent on it because three pistols brainrot, but if you want to dig more into the horror space lesbians (because it is very confusing depending on your playthrough, for sure--and it only gets BETTER the deeper you dig), these two videos in particular are very good, very relaxing, and so well-made imo:

sometimes, when the impostor syndrome kicks in and i start to doubt whether i really am trans or just faking it, i remember that transmasc people also exist and all the doubts go away

what i do respect radblr about is they pushback from conservatives radblr spaces like radtwt would be like ‘we should allow conservatives cuz they have the same goal we do 🤓🤓’ um no those bitches do not

Twitter in its entirety seems like a nightmare tbh. I seriously feel like people on there just use it to be political and stalk other people 🤦‍♀️ I have always preferred tumblr and I am definitely a feminist today because the women on here have offered me so many thoughtful and nuanced and Understanding perspectives, even when I was trans-identifying and totally closed off to what they had to say 💝

also I hate conservatism in both economic and social praxis and I think marxism has a huge influence over 2nd wave feminism in America and radical feminism all over the world, and idek How ladies get into "radical feminism" without realizing that conservative goals are Directly opposed to feminist goals. The only thing modern conservatives and radical feminists have in common is believing that people are the sex that they are born with, and the resemblance ends there.

Does anybody know how life works? Please explain?? How to human???

[axvwriter]

I feel like if I ever ask anyone if they’re afab or amab then my brain has gotten completely confused. I want to know what pronouns ya want me to use as I don’t want to be mean or rude.

There are times where my mind gets things confused or just fails to understand things. Like for a long while I simply failed to understand ftm and mtf until I one day saw it spelled out as female transitioned male. (Or something close to that and I’ve misremembered the exact words.) Which seeing it spelled out finally got my mind to click. That ftm basically means trans-man.

And that trans-man means identifies as a man. Which I felt real stupid once I thought about it. Like why would trans man possibly mean identifying as a woman? If you’re identifying as a man, using woman would make no sense. Yet my stupid brain failed to connect those dots until more dots basically drew the line for me. Absolute facepalm.

Though I feel like I could get myself confused about terminology as afab and amab simply because I’ve been seeing a few people use it instead of saying cis woman or cis man. I suppose afab is technically correct for cis women but isn’t afab (assigned female at birth) and amab (assigned male at birth) usually used in cases where that person no longer identifies with their agab (assigned gender at birth)?

When writing about a cis person when genitalia are relevant, why can’t they just say cis woman or cis man?

What’s with some people thinking cis is a slur? Do they think it’s short for being called a sissy? Or do people naturally bristle when being called a word they don’t recognize? Shouldn’t the more natural response be to look up or ask the meaning of a word they don’t know?

For anyone who doesn’t know, Cis is basically the opposite of Trans. Trans and Cis are latin prefixes. (The links are to merriam-webster dictionary if ya want all the possible definitions.) Cis isn’t a made up word to insult people who aren’t trans. We use words like cis as that’s simpler and shorter than saying people who aren’t trans.

y'know what? I'm gonna say it

asking if someone is afab or amab is transphobic

the only people who need to know what gender you were assigned at birth are medical professionals and potentially sexual partners. otherwise, there is literally no reason anyone needs to know your agab

"but I have trauma with amab people" "but afab people are annoying" that sounds like a you problem and does not justify asking people what's in their pants. because that is what you are doing – just with politically correct terminology

you cannot call yourself a trans ally and then ask to know what's in someone's pants. end of story

(also? some people aren't afab or amab. neither sex nor gender are binary)

[gender-euphowrya]

honestly it's just so weird that the whole outrage over trans people existing in public has given people the idea that it's okay now for them to completely stare at and scrutinize and study every inch of other people in public bathrooms

like whatever happened to walk in, find an available stall, do your business, wash your hands, leave

when has "take a second to analyze every other person in the bathroom" become a new step
