It’s Jesus Respawn Day and I’m in the mood to cause some problems. Reblog with Christian Things that Christians should really value more (or alternatively, things Jesus + God said NOT TO DO that are being done by Christians).

Good morning everyone, I am ravaged by my curse (impeccable taste and correct opinions about everything)

[actualalivecreature]

are you nice to the butch trans lesbian who isn’t out publicly? do you respect the visibly transsexual gender freak you see at the bar? will you get to know the local trans man crowdfunding for top surgery without being on hormones?

Please take a few minutes to read this article. This is serious.

what a wonderful day to remember that there are real actual people in the world who fit your "harmful stereotypes" to a T and they deserve safety, love, respect as human beings, and YES, representation, because even the most stereotypical mother fucker has more going on in their life than just that. a LOVELY day to remember that your dislike of stereotypes should be based in a lack of variety and a watering down of human experience or an active distaste for those being shown, not your own personal distaste of Those People. a MARVELOUS day to consider that many of the stereotypes which are held up as Degenerates who must be Erased by the bigots are, in fact, people we should be protecting and empowering, and that you should NOT BE AGREEING WITH THE BIGOTS ABOUT THEM NEEDING TO GO AWAY.

Please don't assume all Christians are TERFs. I love trans people so much and I pray for your safety and that you'll be accepted and loved

Literally why aren’t bisexuals just allowed to be bisexual. You’re in a “straight” relationship and suddenly your entire relationship is called into question, you’re a default cheater apparently, you’re gross and icky and tainted from past relationships, you don’t face the same homophobia in society somehow bc you aren’t a *real 100%* queer. Bi women are fetishized and abused and bi men are tossed aside and forgotten or completely misidentified based on any perceived deviation from gender roles. Your entire identity is actually transphobic bc bi means two and how dare you not accommodate nb people when the identity LITERALLY ALWAYS HAS. Shut up AHUT UP.

"Biden is the best choice and he's actually really empathetic and reasonable but also you can't wait for a candidate that won't do genocide and war crimes because to become a presidential candidate you have to be willing to do that" see what you fundamentally don't understand is I'm not waiting for a candidate that won't do war crimes, because I know that. I cannot morally stomach this system, it's a joke to claim its democratic, and AMERICA DELENDA EST. this country is a plague on this Earth

on occasion, discussing pride-related things on tumblr can be impossible. some ppl (myself included) will not change their minds about things, and sometimes you just have to live with that. it is what it is.

That said we have no morals or standards if we get paid enough for something so if you drop us something like $3 on Ko-fi then we are available to hash out details and we will have a go at just about Literally Anything.

It’s Easter morning and I’m thinking. Agnostic though I am, I’ve always celebrated Easter as a time of reinvigoration, rebirth, renewal, etc.

I guess what I’m saying is take a look at what you care about most. Is it a priority? If so, great. If not, make it so.

Also, trans rights are human rights. Pass it on.

T4T extends to friendship

if you're T4T and exclude, alienate, gossip, and make other trans people feel uncomfortable or unloved; then you aren't T4T

just because we share trans identity DOESNT mean we are automatically friends, it DOENT mean we are besties now, but it DOES mean we should make an effort to make each other feel loved and included. we are all in this shitstorm together

A Proposal to Solve the Pronoun Culture Battle

I was thinking the other day that there are already gender-neutral second person singular pronouns in modern (if archaic) English: thee, thou, thy, thine, and singular ye. I propose we make a serious effort and bring them back.

Even though they are not used in everyday speech often, people still understand them almost intuitively.

Usage

Thee - means singular you, her, or him as the subject of a sentence: I give thee thy book.

Thou - informal singular you, she, or he as the object of a sentence: Thou have/has many of thine odds and ends strewn about!

Thy - singular possessive pronoun as your, her, or his when preceding a word stating with a consonant: Thy nose is warty and misshapen, ye varlet!

Thine - singular possessive pronoun for words starting with a vowel: I dream of thine eyes of tawny gold, so bright and beautiful are they.

Ye - singular or plural second person form of you - Fly thee away, ye scalawag, before thy buttocks be thoroughly kicked!

You - formal singular or plural pronoun as the subject of a sentence. You are the Mayor of Burgerville, Mayor McCheese. Thank you for your efforts to build this community library! This use as formal will probably be disregarded, but that’s the historical context.

Your - formal singular or plural possessive pronoun: get off my lawn, you cretinous urchins; your lawn darts are ruining my daffodils!

She, He - gendered second person singular pronouns. S/he has been dancing on the roof in the rain; I hope she doesn’t fall off!

Me - first person as object: Jennifer threw the football in a perfect spiral to me; thirty meters is an amazing distance!

My, Mine - first person possessive pronouns where the next word starts with a consonant or vowel respectively: my book was sitting upon mine octagonal coffee table. I know this an archaic usage, but it would bookend with thy and thine nicely.

Just as an aside, mine and my had also been used as thine and thy had been used: before vowel led or consonant led words.

In my opinion, the gendered pronouns would eventually be used less frequently eventually, because in most instances, the gender of the person is not relevant. That would probably take a generation or two to come to fruition.

So, we have: I, me, my, mine, she, her, hers, he him, his, thou, thee, thy, thine, ye, you, your, yours, they, them, theirs.

This also solves the problem of singular they referring to a known individual, although it will still be used to refer to singular and plural unknown persons and known and unknown things.

There, I’ve solved the pronoun problem!
