#yes the trans community has

[scarletalchemy]

Growing up as a trans person of colour is odd, because we're hardly ever acknowledged, let alone centred in conversations. I think a massive symptom of this is how many of us have 'white' names, as our chosen names.

I'll use myself as an example, but i've noticed this as a growing trend. My chosen name, until recently, was 'Scarlet' and i got this from the world i was raised in. Its objectively a white name, with white roots, for an Arab woman. (Currently I'm trying out Yasmeen instead).'

And then this is used against us, because we are frequently assumed to be white. People judge online communities and are like 'you're white', trans communities are white, etc. But the only reason we even have these names is because of these attitudes.

Its annoying.

pretty please, my fellow progressives

Could we please all keep in mind that the concept of "The Jews In General, or A Specific Type Of Jew, Controls Education, Government, Media, and/or Banking", is a longstanding antisemitic trope?

And most of all, that it is false??

No, a marginalized group does not also control education, the government, the media, and/or banking?

No, Jews do not secretly control these things and just pretend to be marginalized? No, Jews have not secretly been accumulating power since the Holocaust, granted by too-generous gentiles, out of pity?

No, it isn't better if you just mean a specific subgroup or kind of Jews. It's still specifically Jews.

It's like when people who hate trans/queer people are fine with rich white cis gay men. So they think it's not bigoted to blame "people with blue hair and pronouns" for the downfall of society.

We all know this means, "I only see some of you as human like me. You have to speak and act a certain way to count. Everyone in your group has to pass a test to get into the Good group."

Doesn't work.

Sure, it gives them plausible deniability to the people who matter to them. But everyone else can see exactly how they feel.

We've all known for years that it's bad to think of a marginalized group as having some "good ones." Rein it the heck in, please.

Because YES, all of those examples are ones I've seen implied, or stated outright, over and over, within the progressive community. This month alone.

i am not anti sam but i sometimes find myself hating sam because some samgirls are super into bio/gender essentialism whether or not they realize it. sam is a woman and dean is a man and sam is the victim and dean is his abuser like what show are you watching?

Happy pride month and remember kids

-Making a character gay after the book is finished is not representation

-Having your only gay character to be a celibate who dies alone because the only person he ever loved was literally villain is also bad

-also finally making the character gay In Canon on a movie but also making the villain lover to be trying to apparently stop the literal holocaust is not a good look either

-Making wherewolves a metaphor for HIV and then making one of the only two prominent wherewolves in your story to be a predator who pray on young boys is absolutely horrible and not good representation

-Also allying yourself with people who opposed the right to marriage for gay people and then using gay people to justify being a terf is also a rather bad and disgusting thing

-The vixen mean bisexual woman is a bad stereotype

-Using plausible deniability by making your bi characters weirdly confuse but never setting on whether or not they are actually bi is bad

-Stop burying gays

-Yes even if the gay is buried before the story started this actually makes it worse

-(not about books but) naming a trans character Sirona Ryan was just malicious compliance and rather childish btw

-We need the sweet teen gay rom coms, we need the sad gay stories, we need the painful coming of age books, we need evil gay people, we need those the only thing we don't need is another secondary character baddly written as a second thought on straight media

-Lesbians exist and If your "lgbt book rec list" is just gay man I don't trust you

-speaking of lesbians stop with the bullshit of "there's too many stories about butches" because there really isn't

-Dont try to cut the "TQ+" from LGBTQ+ because trans and queer people have your back and trust me if they lose their damn rights you better believe you are the next on the chopping board honey it's delusional to think that this moral panic will stop at drag queens and trans people

-Stop begging marvel and Disney for crumbs and go consume media from indie gay people for the love of god

- And lastly have a good pride month and remember it's not just about "all love is love" it's also about "conservatives really want to do genocide on queer people so please stand in support"

TRANSGENDER JESTER BE UPON YE

[gnometa233]

"Trans men and lesbians can date!!" "Trans men and straight men can date!!" "Lesbian includes attraction to men!!!" "Labels mean nothing just use what you want!!!" what if I threw a rock at you.

[clowningcrows]

hello trans people in my phone. first of all i love you and i'm glad you're alive. second, does anyone know why my gender and body dysphoria may have gotten at Least a million times worse since i accepted my identity as a trans guy and started trying to present in a way that matches how i feel?? bc i would have thought maybe. just maybe. that it would be the opposite but! alas

[obsidianstrawberrymilk]

Anyways thinking abt how Miles’s monologue to his not-Mom at the end really reflects how it feels to be a POC queer and not feel like you belong even in your own community having to keep secrets that hurt everyone yourself included and wanting so desperately to be supported by people like you only to realize they won’t support you either (sans Hobie, Margo and Pavitr - other teens of color) so you seek refuge in the place you grew up in only to realize you still don’t belong there either

istg non lesbians need to back tf out of lesbian conversations and lesbians need to get their shit together

a small edit for a little more context: this post is inspired by a tiktok of a girl talking about another girl (their both lesbians) said she slept with men as a form of self harm after breakups. everyone in the comments immediately started claiming that she was as actually bisexual. i want my community to be a safe space

[slut-lord]

i kinda want to write a deep dive essay on silence of the lambs WRT gender and transmisogyny bc it's actually a much more complicated topic than a lot of people realise

[deoidesign]

Hi! im not sure if you read tags on reblogs. But your recent drawing of Steve in trans colours.. was that meant to be a reference to the Vibes he has, or is it a confirmation of anything...? He'll still be transition goals no matter the answer, but i was just curious how /hj or /srs it was.

It's serious! He's trans. Got transed by werewolves.

[wild-at-mind]

If you ever see me becoming one of those transmisandry people, please fucking call me out immediately.

husbeast watched To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar with me and he LOVED IT and i could just cry little tears of queer joy. this movie means so much to me as a queer person and as a gender nonconforming and a just generally socially non conformative person.

if you haven’t seen it, you gotta.

"X is so genderidentity-coded" this "Z is b-sexuality and i will fight people on this" that, "10001 reasons why character C is [insert sexuality, gender identity, disability etc.]" shmat.

can we just go back to saying "I headcanon this character as being X, Y, Z"

If I see one more person use "[insert disability, gender identity, sexuality]-coded" in context of

"I personally view them as [sexuality] and a representation of [sexuality] and it's a positive thing and I will be upset if someone disagrees"

My brain will melt.

No one will fight you over headcanons, but some people will fight you over saying that a canonically pansexual character is 'actually lesbian/asexual/gay etc.'
