There was a post a few years ago about the things in Twilight which are actually pretty good - like how a human who has turned into a vampire might keep breathing, just out of habit, yet feel strange because there's no relief tied to the action, or how a group of vampires who don't sleep take it in turns holding a baby as she sleeps.

I'd like to add one to the list: in the final book, Bella says that she loves Edward and her daughter, but her new love for her daughter doesn't diminish her love for Edward, as she previously thought it might. I wonder if this is tied into the author's experiences with motherhood and concerns with jealousy and a baby getting the attention and affection that was previously reserved for a partner. Instead, Bella says she has more capacity to love, and it's quite a sweet passage. She says there's not enough time in the day to adore her daughter; not enough time at night to cherish her husband.

Anyway all of that is undermined by the fact that she named her daughter Renesme

the part in eclipse where jacob says “sorry, I don’t have any leeches on speed dial,” and edward replies with “you could have reached me at bella’s house, of course” is so savage y’all edward took no prisoners

You’re always going to be young in someone’s eyes and old in someone else’s, talented to one and terrible to the next. The worlds never going to agree on a definition of what you are so you might as well ignore that shit and be whatever the fuck you wanna be for yourself.

My dear lgbt+ kids,

If you are cis and you support trans people in a "pure of heart and dumb of ass" way, you probably do more for the trans community than the highly educated ones.

Yes, I said that in a funny (or provocative?) way but I am being sincere. Many cis people assume that being a good trans ally is something you need to study for: You need to know all the correct terms and always need to phrase everything exactly the right way and you need to know everything about trans history and current trans issues all over the world and you basically need to approach trans people like they are a walking pop quiz.

This mindset can make you less of a good ally - because it keeps you from supporting the human beings behind those words.

If someone insists that I am a woman and you think "Is this misgendering? Can I just call it misgendering or do I need to add that it's transandrophobic? Is that even the correct term? Do I have a source that proves why misgendering is bad? Oh, I better don't say anything, I don't want to hurt anyone by wording it badly", you mean very well! ... but you help much less than someone who just goes "Shut up, you are being weird".

Now I am not discouraging anyone from educating themselves on trans issues. That's still a very good and important thing to do! But please let go of the idea that supporting trans people is super complicated. You don't need to know everything - you just need to care about us.

With all my love,

Your Tumblr Dad
