essentially the post is accusing avery (again, the victim of targeted harassment by multiple users AND the ceo) of sowing discord between trans women and trans men. because she dared to point out that actions against her are specifically transmisogynistic and that trans women specifically are targeted in this way.
Ok I reblogged a different version with more info, I didn't even know about predstogen before this, but it is true that trans women seem to be disproportionately targeted and banned on this site and honestly anything that only aims to cause infighting in trans and queer communities shouldn't be trusted

Age Gap anon from yesterday:
Your ask was very long so while I still wanted to reply to it, I put it under a cut to be considerate of other people’s dash scrolling. Hope you don’t mind.
I think a lot of the Anon stuff is based on the “give it to me now” culture that so many people are accustomed to. A lot of the idea of being polite has all but disappeared in younger generations. I know that’s a generalization, BUT teenagers/people in their early 20′s these days are so damn entitled that it boggles my mind when I see them complaining about things on social media or witness their behavior in places like stores or at amusement parks.
So the idea that they can hide behind an anon feature, or an online account where no one knows who they really are and make these same demands doesn’t surprise me as much as it could/should.
I’m the same way with non-age gap content that I choose to consume. I’m open to reading new stuff from new people, but there’s definitely a group of writers that I always return to because I know what to expect from them. This is true for fic and for actual books, too.
If you’ve (or this anon) has followed me for any length of time, you’ll know that there are certain things that I have never and will never write, and it’s for very specific reasons. The idea that my mind can be changed by sending over a snarky anon message, or making a ridiculous “suggestion” is laughable.
Maybe it’s because they’re used to other writers 100% catering to requests. Maybe it’s because they think that their explanation will be a tipping point.
Maybe they think that every single person on this site is writing and posting because all they want is the feeling of validation that comes with high note counts and they don’t care what they post as long as people see and interact with it?
No matter what it is, they’re not going to find that from me.
You’re absolutely right - when a writer isn’t interested in or well informed about something that they include ... you can tell. It comes across in the writing almost 100% of the time, and I don’t want to be that person. *Could* I write age gap or daddy kink or pregnancy or angst for the sake of angst or borderline abusive relationships that are based solely on a physical connection and nothing more?
Yes, I could - and I might be able to do it passably, and it MIGHT get me more likes and follows ... but I’m not going to. Because I don’t WANT to.
As you said, there are people that those reading these types of things know that they can go to for this type of content. There are people you just genuinely vibe with when it comes to what they write and how they write it. Good. I’m glad that these people have their go-to accounts. That’s what those writers are there for, and it’s what they want to provide the fandom with and that’s their choice - the same way not writing those things is mine.
At the end of the day, these anons are going to keep doing what they do, and that’s their choice, but I wish that more people would stand up for what they believe in when it comes to taking criticism or advice or writing every single request that comes their way, no matter the amount of interest they themselves have in a story or plot.
It’s OK to set boundaries. It’s OK to tell people “nah, I’m not going to do that” - and to not explain why. I just happen to be a lot more vocal about my reasons than others.
Thanks for sending this, anon!
#ask something-tofightfor#anon asks#about writing#anon writing advice response#there are things i just do not want to write about#and so i won't#this anon makes a good point that there is a definite place for people that enjoy this content to look#and that there are plenty of options and go-tos#it's also really interesting to me that some people that are writers who enjoy reading something sometimes choose not to write it#you learn something new every day!

SO APPARENTLY OOT LINK AND TP LINK ARE RELATED BY BLOOD????
TP LINK IS A FAR DESCENDANT OF OOT LINK??
OMG OOT LINK GREW UP AND HAD CHILDREN-
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT??
Oh! Yeah, they're related. XD
Most people know that since it's more or less mentioned in TP and was later confirmed by Nintendo themselves. (Spoilers?) The Hero's Shade is Time and he teaches Twi the moves he knows, that's why he's able to move on in the end.
I think it's sweet, personally.
#pinky replies#I'm marginally impressed by how this fact dodged you so much ^.^*#but hey!#you learn something new every day!#but that's why there's a lot of connections between the two#XD

Silly Game Time: Use a random letter generator and look up a plant that starts with that letter. Post a picture of it! How cool do you think it looks on a scale from 1 to 10?
Tamarix ramosissima
WOAH. That plant looks funky as hell. I personally don’t think it looks that pretty, per se, but it sure is interesting. 4/10

oh huh that's really neat! altho' what was fascinating me was, well, this is the Thomas Hardy that I know better:
so that's quite a different look for the fellow!
just a fun, curious question for everyone as the matchup comes to an end, how far do you think Nelson would have got in the rankings if it had been Oozora Yuuhi instead?
all love to Jim, of course, Horrible Histories is everything and perfect
These are from the Japanese all female Takarazuka Revue's production "Trafalgar" staged in 2010 by Cosmos Troupe; here is a bonus picture with Captain Hardy (Yuumi Hiro)
also I would like to add thank you for running the matchup! It has been so fun, an absolute delight! I hope it has been as much fun for you as it has for everyone else!
oh Interesting!!!
I think one of the things that definitely sways how these polls go is just the size and visibility of the fanbase here on the Website, and I'm not really sure of the scale as regards Takarazuka vs Horrible Histories - but hey, you never know, we could have seen some very different results out here!

Baby that is not an enrichment activity
Baby... Baby no you... Child...
I know you like to play with crinkly things but...
Aaaand into the messenger bag she goes.
#snake#snakes#hognoses#hognose#pets#scoria#scoria rose#there's nothing dangerous in my messenger bag#and the candies are individually wrapped the bag is a stiff plastic she can't suffocate on at least not with me watching her#she really really really likes playing in bags and crinkly things#and has wanted to pay in my messenger bag every day#I had to put my drawing supplies in a zipper up bag in it to make it safe#as when she sees it she will wiggle and point at it and keep asking to go in it so it's just easier to make it safe and let her play in it#“Did you get any new things?”#she loves snooping in it#XD#that may be part of the reason she likes investigating bags#“Something new is in there!”#her sister hasn't learned this yet and is still trying to get over the world outside her enclosure being big and scary#Scoria just needs a moment and so long as I'm there she's ready to explore anywhere#we are the trope of the sweet little innocent girl and huge scary beast who will protect her at all costs#Scoria is the sweet little one

Mr. Spamton, have you ever tried sewing before? The patterns some people draft up are bamboozling to the mind, for sure...
-Silly woman who tried, but only managed to stitch together lopsided "pillows" from t-shirts and stuff them with cotton balls
#he so silly#It takes a little bit of staring to get used to the angle honestly but eventually.... eventually ill do enough of them to be able to piece#it into motion rather than stills#one step at a time :-33#He's so excited to tell you that lol hes so proud he's been able to upkeep that nasty thing#im sure he had to learn at some point or another after it got some tears or something.#[you've got mail!]#spamton#spamton g spamton#deltarune#deltarune spamton#deltarune chapter 2#i hope you guys arent under the impression that five fingers one these is a friday only thing lmao#fifth finger friday is every day for ygm because i dont have a strict posting schedule... he is free for now#i like the way this one looks a lot and maybe its cause of the new angle i fought with#eventually in a month or two ill hate it but for now im happy with it :-3

"The Alolan name Keokeo comes from keʻokeʻo (Hawaiian for white)."
It exhales air colder than -58 degrees Fahrenheit. Elderly people in Alola call this Pokémon by an older name—Keokeo.

My (now former) coworker told me I was asexual, then tumblr confirmed it. Tiktok told me I was nonbinary. Everything’s Gonna Be Okay told me I was autistic (and then my autistic online friend was surprised I didn’t already know that because they clocked me immediately just through online interactions). Now TikTok is trying to tell me I have dyspraxia which I’m like 99.9% certain is false. Whatever symptoms I have is just overlap from other issues I have, such as the above autism, PTSD, and carpal tunnel.
But it really does make me wonder what new thing I’m going to learn about myself because I live in a world where social media exists and I can interact with other people and other things and have open discussion about things I’m unfamiliar with. It’s just really neat.
