#why not women

[emrys-rusts]

I was teasing my friend about her having a crush telling her "haha couldn't be me how embarrassing" and she pointed out my various crushes on soft and/or broody big strong men (drumtits brian) and I will never recover from the horror that befell me in that moment

The movie Wicked is proof that any source material can be vastly improved by simply making the intense female friendship much gayer + the mutual male love interest both wildly bisexual and lowkey down to just be their third

yeah this is a self-evident biological hierarchy. that's why we have to enforce it with violence

very funny (irritating) to me that everyone whined and yelled about stupid rainbow capitalism and how performative wokeness/allyship is a net bad we should all refuse to support and now like.

tumblr is doing nothing for pride and target isn't selling much (if any) of their pride collection offline except at certain stores (in democratic areas, basically) and build a bear has a much tinier collection than normal and all the actual pride stuff is on their "adult" website (not sure if it's in stores, but pride = adult is a hell of a message)

there are genuinely good criticisms for performative allyship in all its applications. it shouldn't be the only thing we expect from people and companies. but if all the shit I see being called performative stopped tomorrow then in terms of the LGBTQ+ community especially we just. wouldn't talk about queerness or queer issues or celebrate pride or do anything.

open your fucking eyes. we are very close politically to having gay marriage rolled back. now companies are basically being let off the hook to even make a miniscule effort (which matters to the people who don't have access to any other kind of support in their communities! which normalizes the community in public spaces!) because the only reaction they have gotten over the last few years are negative ones from BOTH sides.

we are so entrenched in discourse at all times for the sake of our OWN performance of who is the wokest and who is REALLY an ally or a good community member that we have basically handed over all the work of activists of the last several decades to the other side because we'd rather scream at each other over fucking chicken restaurants and shit than the real life backsliding that's happening.

and this goes for other shit too. feminism, poc rights, all of it.

also. trans rights aren't discourse and aren't just culture war arguments. in case any terfs think they can spin this to be antitrans.

will never understand the misogynistic inclination to pigeonhole every female character into the "exasperated sensible mom friend" role as if there's anything better than a woman so devoid of maternal instincts that she makes wire mother look soft. woman who rolls over and walks out onto the balcony to smoke a post-coital cigarette alone and leaves without a note or any kind of acknowledgement after sleeping with you because she can't stand the vulnerability of sleeping next to someone, or waking up beside them the following morning. woman whose idea of relaxing is abusing substances alone in a dark corner somewhere, and snarling and snapping at anyone who approaches her, regardless of intent. woman so emotionally unavailable she fails or refuses to notice that her lame ass partner is trying to push the divorce papers until they've taken the kids and left a heartfelt but scathing note pinned to the fridge. woman with more vices than genuine friends. woman whose expression stays blank and arms remain limply at her sides when you wrap her up in yours for a hug. woman without a gentle touch in her body, with nothing but rough edges and sharp angles.

okay is she being actually immature or is it just a woman over 30 expressing a human experience you find to be immature.

like yeah. at certain ages... let shit go. im not defending the real immature shit. im not defending the karen you're picturing. i worked in retail i hate those people too. (once somebody got mad at me because she didn't like how our winter window decor was a snowman smoking a pipe. i wish i was joking).

but men at 57 will write books about how 17 year old girls are soooo sexy. they will invent worlds where women have to be naked for "armor reasons." they will write songs that treat women as objects. people rush to defend them. meanwhile a woman at 35 will be like "heartbreak is hard, actually" or "i feel betrayed by a friend" or "i am struggling with something emotionally." immediately people will say stuff like this woman is 35 by the way. by the way this woman is SO OLD to be experiencing this. BY THE WAY.

im 31, almost 32. the other day a poet was blasted online because at her "big age", she had written a poem about feeling unloved. top comment was "this woman is 29 by the way." this woman is too old to still be useful, by the way. she has to behave better . maybe if she was a good wife and mother she could stop existing loudly, and the story could continue on without her. this woman has served her purpose, by the way. she's so cringe, by the way. at 29 - so old! - she still hasn't figured out that her existence should be one of shame.

reblog for women 👍👍💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪

[wewontbesleeping]

the weirdest fucking thing to me is how men will be like "it's so hard being a man. no one cares that i'm sad. the loneliness we experience could NEVER be understood by a woman" and then also be like "btw i never talk to my friends and i don't know their names and i love hanging out with men because they don't talk about their stupid emotions all the time. women could never understand a bond like this." like ???

The "trans men and females" part bothers me...

Okay, I said I will talk about my stance on JKR in a previous post, so here it is.

I DO NOT, AND WILL NEVER, TOLERATE HER OPINIONS.

SHE IS HURTING THE TRANS COMMUNITY, AND BY EXTENSION, THE WHOLE LGBTQ+COMMUNITY.

I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT.

TRANS MEN AND FEMALES DESERVE BETTER THAN THAT. THEY DESERVE TO ENJOY A FANTASTICAL WORLD JUST LIKE THE REST OF US.

THIS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A TRANS SAFE BLOG.

Now, I know some people are pushing for the HP fandom to, well, stop being the HP fandom - and that's where I disagree.

We shouldn't have to stop reading and watching the stories we love because of one stupid, bigoted person.

If anything, we should KEEP reading them and give JKR the hugest middle finger by making what were her books our own.

One way I'm doing this is by heancanoning Luna Lovegood as a trans female - also, it just makes perfect sense for Luna! 😀 (I LOVE MY GIRL LUNA)

There are other series out there that have been written by people just as bad as jkr - if not even worse.

But should we stop reading those books too?

No. "Love the art, despise the artist." If you do some background research on ~certain~ authors, I can promise you will find some unsavory things that they support and/or have done.

I have also done my own research and found, here on tumblr, a couple trans people's opinions.

The first person said he was not going to let JKR's hurtful words ruin his enjoyment of the franchise - and it shouldn't control us too!

The second one said they were going to pirate the Secrets of Dumbledore and recommended everyone to do the same - if they can. She did not have any qualms about actually going to the theater or buying the movie.

As a matter of fact, when the SoD movie comes out, I will be buying it - for the actors, directors, costume designers, ect. NOT for JKR.

NEVER for her.

Yes, I am aware that she will be receive part of my money - and using it to further her bigoted ways.

But also, the directors, Warner Bros., and the actors will be getting part of it.

It's for THEM.

I suggest instead of screaming at people online for buying HP merchandise, turn that time into donating to pro-trans companies - to battle the antis.

The only way we can take those bigots down is by stopping our inner hate for each other and using it to support our trans friends - even if we do not know them personally.

I do not know a single trans person, but I would like to let you know - ALL of you- that I am and will always stand by you.

THIS IS A TRANS SAFE, PRO-TRANS BLOG.

AND THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE.
