I just realized I don't want gender neutral bathrooms and changing rooms just for gender reasons. I don't even want them just for practicality reasons, or just for economic reasons.
I want gender neutral hygiene spaces because, in my experience*, women who are bursting to get out of a sports bra and/or pee are wont to say unkind things and excuse it as "between us girls", and men do not wash properly if they think the bro code protects them.
#gender equality#equal rights#diversity#trans rights are human rights#chronic pain#chronic illness#*a shocking number of venues think having one bathroom per gender operational in an entire massive building is good enough#even if all the elevators are broken#this includes my own employer#and the one before that#on the upside#I've checked in five european countries#very very few people continue making a fuss about you being in the wrong bathroom if you say “I need to PEEEEEE” and keep walking#we're all human#we all get the urgency of the moment#including that one bathroom attendant in Amsterdam Main Station#thank you for not making me pee myself in public sir#yes I noticed the men's stalls were also all occupied#I've learned to work around such things on days my mobility is limited but thank you for your concern#that being said#transphobes have a lot of stuff they're weird about#them insisting we should strive to limit our options to piss-scented cave or grotto walls literally smeared with blood is just extra yikes#I don't care what silly fairy tales the cishets have dreamt up about you#you are in public and what you're doing is nasty#wipe your ass#think before you speak#meanwhile every unisex bathroom I've ever been to has been a haven of cleanliness and peace#every unisex changing room has been an oasis of pleasant conversation with a 70% reduction in noxious deodorant clouds#gender was invented by big bathroom to sell more bathrooms#and it made bathrooms worse for everyone

I'm ngl some of the trans people on here say stuff that is actually indistinguishable from terfs were it not for the nouns they use. and it's always the same people who go so hard on the "terfs DNI!!!!" and calling anything and everything "terf rhetoric"
#the people saying nobody would medically transition if society wasn't transphobic#you know that's word for word what terfs think about us right 😭#and other stuff too but I don't have all my thoughts in order rn and if I word it weird people are gonna yell at me LOL#but I have seen a lot of trans men taking terf stuff while saying that they're fighting against terf rhetoric#*saying terf stuff#like if u read what they say you'd know thats wrong#trans#transgender#transphobia#o.

The Big Lie of Transphobia
There is a lot of really horrifying transphobic stuff going on at the moment, even relative to the baseline. Like arrests and federal repression in the U.S. and don't even get me started on that new policy from Facebook and the propaganda amplification that's going to do. So you may find yourself wondering what you can do to help.
As always the real answer to that is to just give all the money and other material aid you possibly can to every trans person you are personally aware of. Individually. Don't look for a charity to donate to, there really isn't one. Make those patreon pledges and write those checks and empty those wallets and cosign for those houses, go!
But if what you're really asking is, what can you do that won't personally inconvenience you, the best thing you can probably do is to really internalize that the Big Lie backing up all the transphobia out there is a complete lie, and convince everyone else you can too. And what's the Big Lie behind transphobia? "Trans women are men who believe they are women." As usual with these, I'm going to expound on that a ton under the fold here.
It really is the lynchpin of everything transphobes have to push. If you don't believe it, none of the things they're pushing for makes even the slightest bit of sense, but if you DO believe it, even if you aren't all in on the other hate stuff, it's going to warp the hell out of your perspective and make you a crappy ally. And wow is it ever deeply embedded in there.
So for what it's worth, as a reminder, when people make statements like "trans women are women" that is stating an actual fact. That's not some weird feel-good slogan that "really" means "you should treat trans women like they are real women" or something. It's just what we freaking are. We aren't men who have some strange mental illness that makes us think of ourselves as women, we aren't people who start out as men and for some reason make some kind of decision to become women. We're just women, always have been, just like any other woman.
If you've met a number of trans women, you can very clearly and plainly see that's true, but the thing is, most people haven't. And the lie gets pushed damn hard. Most people's idea of what a trans woman is, and for that matter, most other things about life, comes from what they see in TV and movies and the like, and on those occasions where a work of fiction features someone they'll call a trans woman, they tend to get some dude to put on a dress to play the part, which is usually also some sort of weird crazy murderous sex worker. Movies and TV also tend to depict cars as prone to burst into massive fireballs if anything goes wrong with them, glass windows as something you can jump through without being sliced up so badly by the shards you're basically going to die instantly, police as caring helpful people who try to solve crimes and return people's stolen stuff and such, and people with albinism as having strange magical powers. None of this is actually true in reality.
So yeah, it's not even a little bit true. If you look at the people who insist the loudest that it is, you'll notice they are completely out of touch with reality and preach all kinds of ridiculous BS. Get it into your head that there isn't even a sliver of truth to it, and it's easier to get on the right side of a lot of things.
Are trans women trustworthy? Yeah? I mean, as much as the next person. Why wouldn't we be? Because some freaking weirdo is sharing all kinds of weird conspiracy theories and setting up weird freaking stalker shrines about us? Pretty clear who it is you shouldn't be trusting there.
Is it OK for trans women to play sports? Yeah? Why would that even be a problem? We don't have superpowers or anything. We're just regular freaking women. Well OK a lot of us have pretty nasty health problems leaving us a bit less physically fit than most women, but you know, doing athletic stuff should help with that.
Is it OK for trans women to use public restrooms? Yeah? Like honestly, I know a lot of guys get weird about women going to the bathroom in groups sometimes but there's nothing sinister about that, just sometimes you need to pull someone aside to ask if you can borrow some embarrassing thing or double check makeup or check if someone's date is as big a creep as they come off and you need to run interference. Mostly though people just need to pee sometimes, and society generally prefers that people do so in a toilet and not the street or whatever.
What about children being trans? Like... everyone's a child at some point? A lot of the downsides to being trans come from associated medical issues which can be totally prevented if spotted early, so it's actually very good to have kids look out for whether they might be dealing with those and get the appropriate medication, which is true for basically anything.
Well what about [whatever stupid BS derailment]? Yeah I'm addressing a group of people who actually need to have it explained to them that women are in fact women and not men, let's not go confusing people with whatever weird sidetrack you want to get onto.

consider; multiverse shenanigans with a spider!reader where they make some offhand comment about how their heat/rut is coming up soon and they'll need some volunteers to cover patrols while they're down and half the society is like 'o damn that sucks, yeah i can swing a tuesday' and the other half is like 'your WHAT is coming up???'
and it turns out that a decent chunk of the multiverse has no idea what a/b/o orientations even are and it somehow just got totally lost in translation until that very second that this was a thing. what do you mean omega???? what the fuck do you mean you just thought i was a really boring smelling beta?????????? y'all motherfuckers are SNIFFING PEOPLE?!?!?!?!
now consider a miguel that is not from an a/b/o verse hearing about this and doing a little research to figure out exactly what a heat/rut is and just getting sucked down a rabbit hole and going feral for the idea that you're going to be in a highly suggestible and vulnerable state for nearly a WEEK and he's going to miss it!!! he didn't get invited!!!! what the fuck!!! the man spends a solid 48 hrs immersed in really bad multiversal porn and comes out the other end hungover and weeping that he nearly missed out on this
so he takes it upon himself to do a little rearranging, some scheduling, some scheming, and lo and behold you find yourself stuck in this crappy half-built nest in nueva york with miguel, who has no real idea how he's supposed to actually perform for you while ur like this and is just making it up as he goes- and totally ignoring the cultural and consent issues he's digging up doing this bc its biology right? so its fine? people in ur universe do this all the time, he has no idea why ur complaining just let him help u out jeez-
Some rando Spiderperson intending to be transphobic: --and they want us to accept everyone as whatever they say they wanna be now, as if men can get pregnant!
Reader, without skipping a beat: what the actual fuck are you talking about, my father carried me and my siblings for 6 months
Miguel is just starting to know you and is actively trying to learn more about you and one day you just, I dunno, you two do a mission together and he gives you praise and you just look at him with a big smile 😊 and your ass straight up PURRS for a few moments and he's just like 🥺❤️ gatito... ❤️
The man sees you talking to Jess and Peter B one day and O'Hara is watching from a distance because he's, awkward and not sure how to approach you, and suddenly his super hearing can pick up someone in the room talking idly about you, or even explaining ABO stuff to another person. "Yeah, see em over there, holding Peter Bs kid? Those Omega always have nurturing instincts. It's cause they're wired to spit out tons of babies. They're the breeders. They even have natutal pheromones to calm down their mates and friends and children" and suddenly Miguel's ears are burning "youre tellin me my darling might wants lots of little babies running around? Fantastic."
Mexican/Irish and also Catholic Miguel who wants one of those STUPID HUGE families where people have at least 6 kids and it's like "oh a typical Omega pregnancy usually has at least two or three babies in one go and theyre shorter than normal human pregnancies huh? Interesting :)"
Some members of the Spider Society are like "why is Miguel kind of lowkey being a dick to me all the time now" oh well its very simple you see, Miguel read your file and found out you're an Alpha and you share this weird connection and also natural biological attraction to HIS lil honeybee and He Hates You Now. Fuck off out his house and don't let him see you talking to his baby or else
He gets really close to you one day, I mean like physically, or hey maybe emotionally too, and he's hugging you and he gets a whiff of your scent and it's something he can't even describe, something that has a carnal biological effect on his where he just wants to keep holding you and hearing your voice like a drug, like it's oxytocin on crack, and suddenly in true scientist fashion he's researching you, your universe, its history, its medicine, its culture.
Can't help but imagine a Miguel who goes full yandere and gives no fucks about doing what he wants for darling and splices his DNA with Alpha DNA so he can officially claim you as a mate, scenting, knotting, and everything. Lyla gives you instructions to meet him in a specific place and it turns out he's been experimenting on himself and he's deep in a rut and suddenly your knees are getting pushed into your chest and you're getting passionately knotted and filled up by a grunting growling purring Miguel who's leaving love bites and kisses all over your skin, just, his size alone would make him hard to get away from, you don't even need to add Alpha instincts and being able to track your pheromones on top of that 😳
Miguel "just let me 'help you as a friend'" O'Hara who tracked when your next heat was going to kick in and maybe even drugged you so it comes at a specific time and he makes it where the two of you are together or even trapped or something when it happens and, here he is, "oh just let me help you, isn't it hurting" but like. We all know it's because he wants to. Like could you even imagine he's, you know, using his fingers and he goes to remove his pants or free himself or whatever and you're just like "no I'll get pregnant" and he just kind of has a Microsoft error window in his brain because it's like. Oh you'll get almost DEFINITELY pregnant? Guaranteed? You're trying to tell the man you dont want to and instead at least internally he's like "promise? 👉👈"

Hello! I have some questions for you, if you don't mind.
What does transspecies mean to you?
How did you discover you were transspecies?
How do you feel about the myth that transspecies makes fun of transgender people?
How do you feel about the idea that transspecies should not be used or people who are transspecies should stay hidden because it can be used against the transgender community
(A controversial one) Why did rad-q takeover the transspecies term, how does that effect the alterhuman community, and how do you feel about it?
Hi thank you sm for asking hehe :3 I love getting to talk about this stuff (and knowing that others are interested in hearing about it lol)
Long ass post below the cut
1. To me, transspecies is the rawest, most direct way for me to express my nonhumanity. It cuts through a lot of the vagueness and nuance of some other nonhuman labels (not that there's anything wrong with that ofc) and gets straight to the point: Im not entirely human and want to be acknowledged as such by my peers and society at large. It emphasizes my desire to move through life as nonhuman, and that there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I also like that it challenges the narrative of human superiority and the idea that species identity is purely biology based. For me personally, it also ties into my experience with being transgender, as I often see my gender as being partially nonhuman. Many things that are gender affirming are also species affirming and vice versa. But obviously you don't have to be transgender to be transspecies, one of my irl packmates and close friend is cisgender transspecies and she's awesome <3
2. It wasn't so much a "discovery" for me. My transspecies identity is very closely tied to my therianthropy, the species I identify as and see myself transitioning into are also all kintypes. So after I realized I was a therianthrope, it was kind of just a slow realization that it was also a label that fit my experiences well. Like most alterhumans I had heard the word used as a weapon against transgender people and alterhumans, so I had a very negative perception of it for a long time. I think the first time I ever heard it referred to in a not-outright-negative sense was in PDTherians "Trans-species?!" youtube video (which I do not recommend as a source of education at all it's a very flawed video that's riddled with misinformation) a few years back, and from there I slowly started to open up to the idea and yeah. The rest is history pretty much lol
3. To some degree I actually can empathize with the stance because I used to be in the same camp, and I know from experience that for a lot of folks it's just well intentioned but misplaced passion of trans liberation. But at the same time it's still a harmful belief and one I grew out of because I matured and learned more about the communities I was part of. Anytime you cast judgement onto a group of people with a harmless identity/belief/interest for the sole purpose of "they're too weird", that harms everyone, not just that group. In this case, hatred against transspecies folks implies that there is a right and a wrong way to be queer/trans, which is harmful not only to nonhumans but to all queer individuals.
4. I think it's bullshit lmao. Shying away from it and outcasting the people who use it does absolutely nothing but divide us further and make us an easier target for discrimination. Categorizing it as a community taboo just turns it into ammunition for transphobes and anti-alterhumans alike. Turning against each other and fighting over stupid shit like labels is exactly what oppressors want, a house divided against itself cannot stand. It also just doesn't make sense, species identity is socially constructed, similar to gender, so why should people be forbidden from using a word to describe that experience just because it's misunderstood?
5. I honestly have no idea why radqueers do anything at all lmaoooo. But if I had to guess, I think it's because on some level, they know that nobody with any semblance of social education or moral compass is ever going to be on board with their beliefs, so instead of trying to fight a losing battle they just barge their way into other small, marginalized, and outcasted groups (alterhuman, altage, paraphiles, etc.) and try to claim them as "part of them". It's a lot easier to tell a group of people "Hey you guys are actually just like us so you need to support our ideology because otherwise you're just fighting against yourself" than it is to try to convince them from scratch that you're not a horrible person.
As for how it's impacted the alterhuman community, Im not entirely sure but luckily I think its effects have been fairly minimal thus far. The alterhuman community is significantly bigger and older than the rq community, I've only ever run into rqs on Tumblr and even here Ive met transspecies folks who had never heard of radqueers before. I think its biggest impacts have been on the transspecies niche specifically, since they often try to lump it in with transid's like "transrace" and "transharmful", which leads to the assumption from outsiders that they're inherently connected and that all transspecies folks agree with those stances as well. But I think as transspecies and alterhumanity as a whole slowly becomes less stigmatized and more widely understood over time, that belief will also fade and die off.
Sorry for the massive text wall lmao, I hope that wasn't too much info. But again thank you sm for asking ^^ I think it's super important that folks out there are interested in learning more about this stuff and that alterhumans are able to communicate their experiences to one another <3

sorry if this sounds rude but I really can't understand what you meant with your "its funny how theres so much 'callout posts abt transfems having weird kinks is Bad' discourse on here and everyones still too afraid to mention loli/shota by name" post
ok sure i can explain a bit more although its hard to tell what bit was confusing so ill just try to be as clear as possible
i see a lot of people talking about how its bad to call out transfems for their weird kinks. there's a lot of reasons for this, the idea of 'sexual deviancy' being bad is a transphobic stereotype that trans women are particularly vulnerable to, these accusations stick with you and can make life really difficult, especially if a large amount of your support network is online
but like the obvious corollary to this is there's nothing wrong with transfems (or others) having weird kinks. frankly i still wouldn't be a big fan of callout culture even if these accusations were always Real and Valid but clearly a big part of the reason why they're receiving pushback is that we shouldn't think being into weird porn is a problem.
and people tend to tiptoe around this part! they stick to the former talking points because they're more palatable to the general userbase than directly defending fetishes by saying stuff like you have to be nice to furries or gore art doesn't correspond to a desire to hurt people in real life
and there's nothing that people don't want to defend more than loli/shota content, to the point that even in these "don't do callouts over fetishes" posts often the issue is 'how dare you smear a trans woman by insinuating she likes or defends lolisho' and not 'who fucking cares'
which is like. kind of a problem if you happen to be a transfem who's also a lolicon (many of my friends)
in conclusion i don't necessarily blame people for acting this way (i understand the pressures of posting on this site) but I do think you actually do have to be okay with the weird fetish shit that gets called out if you're going to get mad at callout posts
this is a pro-lolicon account

intro post
hello, i go by dozing/doze on here (hermit is fine too if you still wanna use that)
im seventeen and a switch in the sfw tickle community. ive ran a few other blogs in the past, but abandoned them out of self-hate. i have not too recently accepted and embraced this about myself, and after lurking for a while, i have started a new blog.
i view tickles as a fun, silly, bonding activity for friends, lovers, or family, and just a cute part of the human condition. i adore seeing people laughing. i love laughs a lot. maybe a little too much.
i occasionally do tickle art and (rarely, but sometimes) tickle writing/scenarios. this blog will likely mostly consist of random thoughts, art, cute stuff i see or think, or other interactions within the community.
i love talking with others in the community like me, so never hesitate to dm me or anything. id love to chat and make a few friends here.
*unfurls a long scroll*

if you apply to any of the following labels, please do not interact with me or my blog. thanks!
NFSW or partially NSFW blog (unless you have tags i can block)
age 30 or older. if i meet you before then and you are a good person and we know eachother when you turn 30, i can make an exception.
feet-centered blog or someone with a foot fetish. you do you, i have no problem with whatever you like, but it is not my thing and makes me uncomfortable.
prefer solely/mostly heavy bondage or tickle torture and/or have a blog centered around it, again, you do you but it scares me lol
homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, sexist, etc. need i explain. i am under the trans umbrella and gay. so if you don't like it fuck off respectfully
think witchcraft/pagan religions are "of the devil" or evil or whatever. i am a practicing witch. i respect and try to understand all religions. please do the same to me.
proshipper or a proshipping supporter.
a vore enjoyer sexual or nonsexual. sorry and no personal hate to you but that stuff terrifies/disgusts me
enjoy/create irl tickling content. yes, this includes youtubers, actors, kpop groups, etc. they're real people and i feel that it is weird and icky to make that sort of content without their consent. thats a real person
these may change as i grow and i will likely do a post indicating it. thanks for reading all that.
anyways, even though im not technically new, i hope you all welcome me back to the community.

oh hi other anon no i didn't read any other anons on velvets blog specifically really i just saw we are talking about nonbinsry stuff that tumblr is talking about alot right now and wanted to weigh in with why it's frustrating and confusing to me!
i don't really want to say any one is "worse" at all! actually the reason i get frustrated is because how it's explained to me is that attributing a lot of things to exorsexism are claiming they're "worse" just automatically because that's claiming they don't affect binary trans people or theyre easier to deal with for them. like for example if i talk about how im treated better at the Dr's now that im pretending im binary trans as something thats exorsexist, that's saying im treated better because im lying about being binary trans. and i am lying to be treated better, but it isn't because binary trans people are treated better because there's no way to tell who's binary and who's not and so binary trans people are the same as nonbinary in this case.
and also ive been told binary trans people aren't treated better anyway, like that in the housing program they would also have been not allowed in, and me getting into the program by saying im binary trans and other things ive experienced like the Dr's is based on something else that's a coincidence that's related to me lying about being a binary trans person, but not about anyone being binary or nonbinary at all? but nobody will tell me what that thing IS. but i do believe what everyone is telling me that if a real binary trans person lived my life they'd experience the exact same things and not even be able to get out of it by changing what they say their identity is like i did (which i guess means it's kind of a privilege since a binary trans person couldn't do it?), but i don't understand WHY, yknow? like WHY does me pretending to be binary trans make me safer but for a real binary trans person they experience all the stuff i was experiencing when i was out as nonbinary? that's such a weird social phenomenon and i want to understand the rules and have words to talk about it.
but even the people explaining this stuff on tumblr never talk about how to talk about how to think about it instead, just that the popular way of thinking about it where nonbinary has oppressions binary doesn't is transphobic by lumping together trans and cis people as being oppressors (which ahain i understand and i don't wanna say it so i want new ways of thinking that help me talk about my personal experiences that don't imply they're because im nonbinary or because im pretending to be binary, and actually descrine whats really happening to me, because i think i dont understand what is happening to me at all since how i feel about it conflicts with how transphobia really works).
how you feel doesn't conflict with how transphobia "really" works, that's just transphobia working in a different way
trans people aren't oppressors just because they can be exorsexist just like trans women aren't oppressors because they can be transandrophobic or trans men aren't oppressors just because they can be transmisogynistic
binary trans people aren't the authors of your experiences so like straight up you should stop listening to them to the extent that you do tbh they're just wrong about some things and that's okay, it's not bad of you to recognize yourself as more of an authority on non-binary issues than they are

✩ [PINNED]- okay! doing this... again!
hi! i'm vic! i'm a shapeshifter!
people who follow me and like my posts might know me - i'm that 'raccoon with a phone'. but recently, i've found myself more like as a shapeshifterkin! i can't stay just in one form - and even if polytherians exist, it just doesn't feel right to me. it's just.. not my thing. that way - doing my research, for weeks, i found out i'm actually a shapeshifter. i hope you, folks who know me, will still keep up with me even with this change! (and new followers and friends are always welcomed too)
i will not change the contents of this blog - as it will still be about me. i'm not that active around here, but i'd be happy to make some friends, so feel free to interact with me! (just don't be weird.)
about me!
✩ i'm diagnosed with adhd - therefore, i might have trouble with a few things. be patient with me!
✩ i am in A LOT of fandoms, and by a lot, i mean A LOT. here's a list of all the stuff i like - but beware, they're a bit.. mixed up!
i like dandy's world-regretevator (or roblox in general), rain world, sweet tooth, amphibia, murder drones, dungeon meshi, arcane, sonic, cookie run kingdom, mouthwashing (anya kinnie!) pjsekai, vocaloid (will update when i remember more stuff!)
✩ i am not a therian, but I do miss turning into animals. I can never turn into one specific animal, therefore, i might feel like a cat, sometimes, but have wings, or horns! my phantom limbs are completely random, and they change constantly - but they aren't frequent. i'm more like a creature stalking the woods, which occasionally eats people. i dont have a constant form i like to be in - i'm everything, and nothing, all at once.
✩ have in mind i often change pfps so just recognize me by my username :3c

Oh damn it, The Boys has a spinoff?
Not too long ago, I wrote about The Boys, and how I have a few issues with it. And when writing about season 4 in particular, I mentioned how off-putting it was that the right wing characters in the show were constantly shouting about the protagonists loving trans people as a dig, and how weird that is to toss out there when there don't seem to be any trans people in the show at all, let alone any the protagonists associate with. But there IS a trans character in Gen V, the weird little spin-off series they apparently made between seasons 3 and 4 that I was unaware of when I wrote that. So out of some combination of morbid curiosity, feeling the need to maybe amend my earlier statement, and let's be honest, an act of self-harm, I just sat down and watched that too.
In a lot of ways, I hate this even more.
The premise is that all the characters here are going to a special superhero high school in the setting of the main series, and there's this whole tease through like half the show about how there's a big competition where the top student in the school will get to go join the big superhero team from the primary series which feels a hell of a lot like they were trying to maybe lure in some of that Hunger Games fandom or the 5 people who haven't totally denounced those seven doorstops from the most famous transphobe in the world or something, and maybe also trying to pretend the main character from this show would end up on that show which... just does not work? Like if a character joins the superhero team in The Boys it means they're going to be revealed to be a nazi or they're going to be almost immediately sexually assaulted then killed, or possibly all of the above, and that's not really something you'd want for any of the main cast in this show here, because a decent swath of them are more or less good kids and all. Like is it even a spoiler to say it ends by going all shaggy dog story with Fascist Superman showing up for a quick cameo at the end to declare everyone remotely likable an ideological threat and them being thrown into a secret prison? Probably but look you could have stopped reading when I said how it ended.
Also the protagonists being mostly likable kids with superpowers. kinda just completely breaks the whole premise? Like the one thing The Boys does that I approve of is shout very loudly about how much right wing scumbags suck via what I'm sure they'd describe as a metaphor, but really we're just kinda largely overlapping with a theme of superheroes being inherently evil and horrible... and that's just kinda not a thing in the spinoff here at all, outside of some really limp references to the series proper and teasing out a season 4 plot threat at the 11th hour. Doesn't really seem to try and replace
All the stuff I hate is totally still in here though! Demonizing kinky sex stuff, really pushing for shocking gore and making people weirdly squishy accordingly, and trying to talk about serious stuff affecting women and minorities, but not having the perspective to do that well and coming off a bit weird. I'd almost say it is at least a little less bad and gross about women but (warning the rest of this paragraph describes really tasteless stuff) the opening scene of the first episode is the main character discovering she has blood control powers because she gets her first period, plays with the resulting blood, freaks out when her parents try to check on her, and accidentally totally explodes them with blood daggers. Because yuck girls are gross I guess. And then once we've established she has blood powers we clumsily try to make a whole thing about how she has to cut herself to get access to them like how all those teenage girls are cutting themselves these days. And to really hammer that home, her roommate has shrink/grow powers that are activated by doing the whole binge/purge thing. And no, we aren't trying to make any sort of larger point with the imagery with either of these besides "ew."
The rest of the cast besides those two get introduced as the cool popular bitchy maybe racist mean party kids who do drugs and kill random bystanders trying to show off with powers which feels like they were maybe trying to do some kind of parallel with the super hero team from the main series and then I dunno maybe got some real quick feedback that that's lazy and did a 180, or maybe they were just trying to kickstart messy teen drama because this show doesn't really have any real like... themes or point to it. This gives us the really weird setup where a character gets introduced using Magneto powers to accidentally slit someone's throat and the lead being offered up as a sacrifice to maintain his reputation and then having him just be the goodest boy for the rest of the show. And also this means that trans character we have gets introduced as a gatekeeping bigoted popular kid so... yeah...
Probably isn't going to come as any sort of surprise here, but the creative team behind The Boys doesn't handle this here trans character super well! To be fair, they do try! The character in question is eventually pretty plainly one of the good guys after spending a whole lot of time on this weirdly drawn out thing with them being this coldhearted gatekeeping popular kid who is somehow simultaniously looked down on for being "a bigender Asian," and we're at least picking and naming a flavor of trans there.
Buuuuuut OK we've got this AMAB trans character who has this vastly preferred girl form, and parents frustrated by that noting they could just always stay in boy form, and something like half of all form switching incidents are sudden ones when starting to make out with people or immediately before/after having sex, and look it is REALLY hard for me not to suspect they started with an absolutely monstrous take on a trans girl built out of a lifetime of bigoted scaremongering and misconceptions, ran that by a sensitivity reader, and tried to salvage what they could while making adjustments. Plus you know, trans character with nothing but cis friends, HRT does not seem to exist in the setting, being bi but hopping over the gender fence to keep all romantic or sexual relationships "straight."
Another thing I have to get into is that while the show ultimately doesn't have a point, and goes all shaggy dog story, there's this whole thing where the school has a secret torture dungeon and the protagonists break someone out who suffers from, if I properly recall the term used, "schizophrenia or something," and wow, get this, you're not gonna believe it, in addition to being prone to fits of violence and sometimes seeing people who aren't there and maybe they're puppets sometimes, he's a weird spongey blank slate who needs all of like 1 minute to be talked into becoming a genocidal fascist in the last episode.
But anyway the one token trans character still never once interacts from anyone from the original show and is like 4 or 5 degrees removed from the person being smeered as trans positive so turns out I don't need to correct myself with that complaint.
Also I'm just gonna go ahead and not watch any more of this when more is inevitably released I think.
#the boys#gen v#trans#misogyny#it must be so weird getting contracted to do cgi work for these shows and having to render every pore on multiple screen filling penises

Just a short notice. I know you all are probably sick of seein me in the tags but it's better than reading the weird stuff yourself. Please keep away from the user ghosthyena74. They're defending kndbrainrot (draws kids in inappropriate situations, harasses artists, stalks people, and admitted to liking incest) and is blocking anyone who tries to educate them on why they should block them and stop feeding into them and their actions. I've been told so far that they blocked at least one other person who tried to explain aside from me. It's also possible this person is transphobic as they use words like "he/she" when "they" could be used which is a common transphobic move *BUT PLEASE DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT ONE. I CAN'T CHECK THEIR PROFILE ENOUGH TO FIND OUT MYSELF - LET ME KNOW IF THERE'S ACTUAL EVIDENCE THAT PROVES OR DENIES!*
I really didn't even wanna mention it honestly but the way they're going about this implies they support kndbrainrot's actions which, obviously means they're proship or in support of proship/profic. Completely immature way to deal with being told that someone is bad but these responses are the cherry on top lmfao. Check your following, I've heard they follow a lot of you guys with proship supporters DNI in bio. I'm so sick of these profics and profic defenders in this fandom and I'm sure you all are too so I'm glad to give an easy block so you don't gotta listen to their defenses. It's disgusting reading messages defending someone who drew children in inappropriate situations for me personally.
Considering how much more lengths you have to go to for defending someone who clearly did wrong vs just blocking them, this user is probably someone you wanna avoid. This entire fandom agreed it was just best to let kndbrainrot figure out how morally fucked up their actions are themselves if they didn't wanna learn via elaborate explanation, so someone actively encouraging this young child to keep making gross content and enjoying fucked up stuff is... Not ideal

i don't mean to stir up more controversy so feel free to not post this ask, but like. yeah. i don't get it. is harry potter a shitty franchise filled to the brim with subtle bigotry and glorification of various nasty outlooks on humanity? kinda, in my opinion, yeah. is it written by, and profited off of by someone actively using their platform to cause harm to human rights? yeah. would i ever want to engage with the content or fandom? no not really. but does this mean that anyone who even breathes in the direction of Harry Potter content is condoning all this bullshit, or kissing the author's shoes and ideologies, and giving them money to harm the people they want to harm? uh.......... no, not really. what the fuck
like............ yeah. like you said it's a huge franchise. literally a silly little Tumblr poll that will realistically get under 10,000 votes, let alone notes or discussions, is not at all going to compare to the reach she already has. and it feels weird to twist the blame that way— this author is using their writing and manipulation skill to earn lots of money and do awful things with it... and suddenly it's the individual fans' fault that she has that money and reach? and not just the fans, but even people that don't actively go out of their way to excommunicate fans of the media?
sorry to rant in your inbox i just. im pretty sick of all this "inaction against a major celebrity is the same as condoning their abuse of power and influence" stuff that people throw around instead of criticizing why our social power structure is based on popularity and engagement in the first place (which is bound to put the most cultish, manipulative, influential, and charismatic people in power). idk it just feels really skeevy to blame people who enjoy or passively tolerate something that's expertly designed specifically to be appealing by a master manipulator.
you don't have to post this (though i also don't mind if you do) i just wanted to like. bring some of my takes into your inbox cause these anons sounding like they're accusing you of queer blasphemy or some shit over literally just.... letting someone hate their anti-blorbo/love their blorbo that they think everyone else hates.... are just really putting me off. like do they get that this is the "oil companies tell poor people global warming is their fault" argument all over again?
This has been sitting in my askbox for a long time because I wasn’t sure how to address it or whether to even address it or just delete it, as it feels like a topic that’s bigger than I am and I can’t ever properly address all of it. But all I’ll say is, while I agree that not all discussion of Harry Potter or other shitty medias is promotion and we as individuals shouldn’t be held accountable for the actions of a transphobic billionaire, it is still important to approach the subject with nuance and make sure the ways in which we talk about it do not spread harm. I think that’s why so many polls decide to ban it and other medias from their polls, because most of them are designed to find the “best��� of something and to insinuate that something from one of those medias can be the best could be harmful. That’s why I’m not gonna post any asks that defend the series as a whole or the franchise as a property, because it’s not right to even humor those who want to downplay transphobia and antisemitism (among others). Aaaanyways all this to say if people discourse about Harry Potter characters in the notes or askbox go for it just remember the real people impacted by the bigotries present in it when considering the way you want to make your discussions
