Within the last couple of months, for the first time in my life, I started to consciously think that maybe I actually kind of deserve to just...exist? Like, I don't have to earn my life - it's okay to just live. Not going out there hurting anyone. Just taking care of my pets and my family and having my little life.

Of course, in that time, I've also had the cops called to my house for a "wellness check" and had my water shut off without notice or warning. So it kinda feels like the world is disagreeing.

Throughout this examination of gender-affirming care for transgender youth, several critical themes have emerged. Wilson's personal journey stands as a powerful testament to the positive outcomes of such care. Her ability to live authentically and advocate for herself directly contradicts her father's claims about the harm of these treatments. Importantly, her experience aligns with the broader scientific evidence supporting gender-affirming care. This scientific consensus, as detailed in the Yale white paper and numerous studies, provides a strong foundation for the benefits of gender-affirming care. Improved mental health outcomes, enhanced quality of life, and remarkably low rates of regret are consistently reported. It's no wonder that major medical associations, including the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Endocrine Society, all endorse gender-affirming care based on this robust evidence. Yet, we've seen how this evidence can be misrepresented. Claims that gender-affirming care is harmful or lacks scientific backing often distort the true scientific consensus. The critique of the Cass Review in the Yale white paper illustrates how selective interpretation of data can lead to misleading conclusions, underscoring the importance of comprehensive and unbiased analysis.

Also (and I know this isn't the point AT ALL) but whenever I've witnessed some trans chick being awful to someone online, they have been behaving like the bitchy cis girls I grew up with. So the very idea that acting like a Mean Girl proves a person was "socialized male" is just frigging absurd.

Every single one of us has been unceasingly pummeled by the patriarchy in its attempt to shape us into our proper roles. Socializing someone as "male" or "female" is a violent process and none escape unscathed. All trans people throw a wrench in the system, but we don't need to be beating each other with it.

If you see some trans women being shitheads to trans men and decide to go "see it's true they are socialised male" you are wrong, transmisogynistic, and still spreading bioessentialism and terf rhetoric. Just to make that extremely clear since I literally saw someone using this argument today.

You are not helping trans men, you are not helping anyone, your ideas are awful and your analysis of the situation is worthless.

BroCal 4 lyfe.

So, I had this idea of Dave being nosy (I love nosy Dave), and hearing Bro talking on the phone to someone, and it's a side of Bro he's never heard, Bro is all totally mushy and in love, and Dave really wants to know who tf it is, and he's trying to put together a picture of who Bro could possibly be dating, since Bro never brings anyone home, he's always just on the phone or probably camming them. Dave tries to sneak in when he thinks Bro's got them on cam, but all he finds is Bro sleeping on the futon with Lil Cal, his computer off. It's a mystery he just can't solve.

Turns out the call was coming from inside the house.

[Trans Dave and Trans Bro.]

Image description and text below the cut:

The image is a split-panel drawing, divided by the wall between the Strider living room (Bro's room) and Dave's room, captioned with "Bro gets home. 4:37am."

On Dave's side, he's listening through the wall. He's imagining that Bro is on the phone, the way he's talking and pausing and then answering. Dave is in a loose shirt and boxers, having woken up when Bro got home.

On Bro's side of the wall, Bro and Lil Cal are laying on the futon. Bro's tenderly placing his hand over Lil Cal's chest, like lovers. Bro looks very soft and smitten. He's shirtless and has facial piercings. Lil Cal has an arm wrapped around Bro's neck, and his other limbs are draping off the edge of the futon.

Bro: Hey, baby. Lil Cal: ... Bro: How was your night? Lil Cal: ... Dave, thinking to himself: is bro actually dating someone? why havent we met? Bro, rambling on: So, listen. I've been thinkin'. About what you asked last night. My answer's 'yes.' Obviously, no one will marry us here, but what if we do our own thing? Just us. Dave, internally: wait... wtf?!

MIASMA. GHOUL DICK SIZE HCs. FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY OFC and not because I intent drawing stuff

I’M SORRY BUT YOU HAVE TO SUFFER CUZ YOU WERE THE FIRST PERSON I THOUGHT ABOUT. AND YOUR BRAIN IS HUGE.

LET'S FUCKIN GO

Aether: Shorter but fat. Just over 5", but so t h i c k you feel him for days. Causes many jaw cramps. Uncut. Has a very pronounced tip that goes purple when he's edged for a while.

Aeon: Average, but really nice. About 6", not super thick, curves up towards his stomach when he's hard. Cut. Less sensitive for it, but that just means he can take more abuse. Lorum piercing.

Dew: LITTLE DICK DEW 4 LYFE. Short and skinny, 3" hard, so small and cute when he's soft. Everyone loves playing with it. Uncut. Goes so, so pink and slippery when he gets worked up.

Rain: The communal favorite, a real crowd pleaser. A solid 7", decent girth, sticks straight out when he's hard. Cut. Super duper veiny, and gets SO wet.

Swiss: This ghoul is PACKING. Hung like a can of Arizona iced tea I stg. 7.5", but so thick you need both hands to jerk him off proper. Uncut. Mushroom tip. Flushes super dark when he's close. Has a Jacob's ladder.

Mountain: I mean. C'mon. 10", average girth (for his size, comparatively he's as thick as Dew's forearm). Hangs down even when he's hard. Curves to the right. Uncut. Also very veiny. He's super weak to having the head polished.

Sunshine: Trans Sunny is REAL. My girl is a grower, doesn't look like much when soft but stiffens up to a solid 5.5". Slender, but nicely curved. Cut. Wants it pierced but doesn't have the patience for the healing process.

idk if you've said them before but what are your gender sexuality and disability headcanons for the cast?

The crazy thing is, no one has ever asked this before. That being said I will gladly answer with open arms and a warm glass of milk (lest you not ask for a cookie too).

The funny thing is I've kept most of these sexuality HCs for a while, but I'm always unsure what to assign Brian specifically 😭 That man be fruity but I've always got my sights set on him being a-spec also (but I quite like greysexual for him). For anyone wondering about the second flag on Hayasaka and Natsuki, that's the demisexual flag!

As for the gender one, I think my strongest HCs would be Ena and Jesse (trans Jesse 4 lyfe). For Latte, I don't really have a big preference, so I don't mind what other people say she is. And I don't know why but Hiroshi is kinda GNC to me. He just feels like he could be.

As for disability headcannons? Honestly, I don't really have a ton. That being said, Kaidou, L and Brian all have autistic swag and I will not be convinced otherwise 💪

[thatstormygeek]

yes and yes. but mostly...exhausted.

that thing where there’s absolutely no way for you to be trans and talk about That Author and the unrelenting avalanche of horrors in a normal way, so you spend two years writing this weird piece called “POV: you are two raccoons in a trench coat, both of whom are trans” instead 🫠

[pleuvoire]

me and the gang's judgment on gender configurations of blue lock ships:

nagireo - the ultimate applicable pairing that works as yaoi, yuri, or het in both directions. m!nagi+f!reo kind of builds upon and exaggerates the inherent "reo is the girl in the relationship" subtext of the original in a way that...doesn't super appeal to me personally but i can't deny it works on a narrative level and feels very fitting. on the other hand f!nagi+m!reo is EXCELLENT and me and the gc have latched onto it despite our usual heterophobia. what if a tall useless lazy gamer girl got discovered by a perky charming guy determined to make her the world's best soccer player... and what if they were t4t also.... and of course yuri nagireo fucking rules eternally

kunigiri - canonically het by default to ME (tgirl chigiri agenda 4 lyfe) but yuri kunigiri is also really good. butch x tomboy... gym rat muscle butch cis girl x androgynous bifeauxnen trans girl... i have no opinions on any gendered configuration of kunigiri that involve chigiri being a guy because that doesn't real to me.

isarin - dude toxic yuri isarin slaps so fucking hard. girls devouring each other and tearing each other to pieces with their teeth let's GOOOOOO!!!!! m!isagi+f!rin isn't viable to me though because if isagi acted that way to a woman i would have to fucking kill him. on the other hand f!isagi+m!rin with isagi being a deranged straight girl about it is kind of interesting like maybe straight girls should get to attempt to tear their love interest's throat out with their teeth as well except the problem is i can't really see any male version of rin being into women even in an au. and also if you want deranged girl isagi then yuri isrn is right there. have i mentioned yuri isrn rules

ryusae - tbh ryusae is eminently yurifiable because sae has all those elegant ice queen tropes going on and shidou is a faggy gyaru so it's really easy to just flip them over that line. and guess what? yuri sdse fucking rules. and furthermore i think it's really fun how much yuri sdse fanart gives off t4t vibes and we've got a whole t4t yuri sdse mind palace over there in the gc. het sdse is less good though because as oomf said, either sae is the woman and it just feels like the same pairing but less fun (also i would have to kill shidou for talking like that to a woman) or shidou is the woman and that honestly makes sae look kinda gay like wdym you have this super hot gyaru gf obsessed with you and you just act cold to her 🤨

that's all the bllk pairings i have any real feelings about. the conclusion of this post is that yuri fucking rules and het is only provisionally allowed sometimes. thanks for tuning in

Ok I don’t want to go make art and I don’t want to go find something good to scrounge up and post so I will instead spout assorted madcom headcanons. these are far from the last you will see from me.

- sanmos 4 lyfe (big sloppy heart emoji) they are both like playfully flirty in diff ways with other people but also so so monogamous at the same time they love eachother sooo much have the healthiest relationship known to man. ignore all the killings.

- 2bhank with the same energy as medic tf2 x heavy tf2. but like also 2b is catboy herder for hank. he holds the laser pointer in the relationship. hank isn’t like full creature I’m still the kind of girlie to place him solidly as kind of the stoic and dysfunctional sociopath but he’s got some of those beasty tendencies in him. the two have such strong attachment to each other but they both have such difficulty expressing it. hank doesn’t know how human well and 2b simply isn’t a soft person even when he wants to be. but they work with what they have. deimos and sanford are so invested in their relationship they chitchat about it constantly. in the most supportive way they want it to go well they just talk about the two being cute and try to help when they hit rocky points. the power couple is so stable they can take on other couple’s drama.

- I don’t know what the ship name is for tricky and hank but there’s like a tiny bit of that too. tricky is hank’s crazy ex but they were never in an actual relationship clown has just been desperate for the dick day one and has not let up for a single second. especially after the halo fiasco literally everyone hates them but they stay silly

- whitehank exists because of something along the lines of hank’s genome getting copied to aahw database when he went in the magnifier and using that agency got the bright idea that if they can’t beat hank. they can make their own. I don’t know actually how she should fit into everything but I like the idea it feels appropriately silly for madcom. the only thing I’m really decided on is that she eventually switches sides and 2b, carrying the entire trans community of nevada on his old man spine, hooks her up on titty skittles and him and hank informally adopt her because cold sad clone babygirl needs parents. she’s like all of hank’s feral swagger if you made it sopping wet and also like garage band punk. I can’t decide if she’s musclegirl as I’ve drawn her before or make her skinny legend I need to lock down the vibes. One important design thing that i know is coming however is that since she’s a copy of mag hank specifically, while hank gets demagnified in my little post canon design shit, she does not, so she is de facto tallest out of the. what do you even call the gang. just the gang? agency for hank wimbleton? the motley crew. the dnd party. nevada’s most wanted. that one actually works we’ll go with that

- funny thing I’ve considered for sheriff is that after whatever happens in project nexus dude just. pisses off somewhere. half hooks up with jeb to make a neutral party for people who just want to fuckin live. while jeb’s on the offensive side of that trying to actively stop the madness sherrif is the defensive side just making settlements for normal people to live they lives. something along those lines. it’s quaint. him and whitehank get together maybe. little guy woos the giant cryptid lady with his southern charm.

- the auditor is workplace sexual harassment personified. simultaneously in the fanfic suave way and the restraining order kind. they talk like stephan weyte. they think they’re soo cool and when someone doesn’t think they are when they want them to they run away and cry.

- I wish I could come up with something for jeb to like round out the primary cast but like honestly he’s the one I spin around in my head the least. I like his motive of make shit normal but maybe he’s just like too clear cut. he’s already got a full character there’s nothing for me to add.

thank you for coming to my ted talk

Top 5 moments of your life thus far.

These can be good, bad, or any variation thereof.

Please feel free to disregard if it's too personal of an ask.

Honestly, I... am so boring. Not a lot has happened in my life to be honest, for better or worse.

Top has definitely been deciding to make those Scream posts back in March, I've got to talk to and befriend so many incredible people because of that, and I've never been in a better place mentally. Even in my low moments, I've bounced back faster than ever before. It's really made a significant impact on me as a person and helped continue my growth, and I don't have the words to describe how thankful I am. This fandom experience has been my favourite so far from the past... god, 20 years. I want to give a special shoutout to Bailey and Dreamer, who have inspired me so much and I am so incredibly lucky to call them my friends, I don't remember what it's like before they started talking to me and gave me a chance. One that people really haven't before. Friends, real friends, aren't something I have much experience with.

I guess another formative experience has to be my first foray into fanfiction, I was like 9, maybe younger, it was Pokemon, it was an independent little website as was the norm back in the day, AAML 4 lyfe. God I feel old. Anyway those fics were NOT APPROPRIATE and I still think of them to this day. Would love to reread them, but doubt they're still around, and even if they are it would be impossible to find I think.

Over a decade ago now, when I was much younger, I made a couple of fandom friends, that ended badly, but I don't regret making them. They were important and formative for me too, and more importantly, one of them was the first person to ever call me Kai, instead of my full username Kaishei, although now I tend to go by Kailyr, and that... it changed my life. It felt right.

Uhm. I can drive? I passed my driving test in 2021... on like the fifth attempt or something in two years - and barely at that. The instructor literally said I was a borderline fail, but he decided to pass me because he can see that I know how to drive. And also because I said I was probably going to give up if I failed. I hate driving, it's very stressful, but necessary where I live now.

Oh, when I was like five - yes, literally 5 - I played my first real video game, back in 1999. I'd played some, some educational ones. But this was a real video game, and it was - there's a pattern you see - not age-appropriate. The game was Dungeon Keeper (Gold), and it is to this day my very favourite game of all time, the game that nothing since has matched for me.

As a bonus, here's some things I'm really looking forward to: Top Surgery, eventually (the UK trans medical system is a joke); Dreamer coming to visit me next year; when I eventually get to go visit Dreamer on their turf too; and getting to decorate my new bedroom in the house my parents have just bought, and having some real space to make it my own and exist.

[thatstormygeek]

I've never been that into binding for a couple of reasons (beyond the obvious):

I'm not especially dysphoric about my chest*, and

My boobs were big enough I had no hope of even flattish. Closest I would get was the appearance of smaller boobs.

I did buy a couple of binders I used on rare occasions (like my friends' wedding) because the constant she/hers I was getting combined with the prominence of my unbound chest (here's that * from up there) to be fairly distressing.

All of that to put into context that I have found...I don't know if "success" is really the right word. Comfort, maybe? With sports bras. Specifically these. I'm basically in one of these 24/7 (no, not the same one). Yes, even while sleeping. For me, they keep everything contained and controlled to the point I don't really notice or think about my boobs most of the time. Which is exactly my goal.

To be 100% clear, I've only worn the u-backs, so I can't speak for any other styles. I have no reason to assume they'd be less comfortable, if those are the styles you're comfy in.

That's all. Just...putting this out there in case it's ever helpful for anyone else. I was reading a post about something and this popped into my head and here we are.
