Thread I posted on my Twitter regarding people slandering Michael for seeking help from a therapist after playing Killmonger. People are so sick.

1) He isn’t “weak” for going to a therapist

2) Even if you didn’t think he did a good job as Killmonger, that doesn’t invalidate his feelings/emotions

3) Again, regardless of if you thought he didn’t do great as Killmonger, he still had to go to a dark place filled with nothing but pain and turmoil in order to portray Erik, who is nothing like Michael in real life.

Y’all will literally find any reason to hate this man, whether it be because of who he decides to date or his decision to seek out therapy due to feeling depressed. He does nothing to anybody and it isn’t fair that he’s met with such criticism.

Anyway, I just needed to get this off my chest.

[strangerinchitown]

A black girl will be spending years in jail because she had a mental health crisis. PLEASE READ

Meet Saraya: she was experiencing a mental health crisis. Police came and tackled her. She is 15.

Saraya Rees is a 15 year old biracial girl from Coos County, Oregon. After being abruptly instructed to stop taking her antidepressants by a local pediatrician, Saraya went into psychosis. In her manic state, Saraya poured a small amount of gasoline on the floor. Her parents called Coos Health & Wellness in hope that that would send mental health advisors, Coos Health & Wellness sent the police. While still in psychosis, the officers arrested her, questioned her without her family or lawyers present, charged with attempted murder and assault, and sent her to juvenile prison for 11 years.

ELEVEN.YEARS.

This is not justice.

This is inhumane.

Reminder, Black people suffer from depression. Black people can be mentally ill. It is okay that Black people suffer from depression. It does not make us, especially Black women, any less strong or resilient. But when you wash all of our concerns away by calling us that, you’re invalidating our struggles because they don’t fit into your perception of Blackness. Cut it out. And yes this is for Black people too.

All I Need in This Life of Sin

[strangerinchitown]

You guys, I still have yet to watch Jingle Jangle (I know, I know, I should, I will) but y'know what MY favorite black holiday movie is?

A movie about a black women, Georgia, who finds out that she's going to die in 2 weeks, and finally decides to do all the things she wanted to do and hoped for.

In other words, a plus size black woman having the time of her life, blowing money, being happy, and multiple people admire her and fawn over her. I won't spoil the ending, but I reccomend this movie for EVERYONE, especially my black followers who need a break from the trauma-struggle-violent-"woke" movies we've been getting for a while.

It also has one of my favorite quotes that I live by now.

"Next time... we will laugh more, we'll love more; we just won't be so afraid."

Writing Trans Characters: Corrections of Common Mistakes

These are just a few quick, basic things that should be taken into account that I notice a lot of writers get wrong.

Not every trans person is “pre” or “post” HRT or surgeries. It can be pretty stigmatizing to think of trans people’s lives as part of those two categories, especially when those things have not always been part of their plan or they do not want them at all.

“About 14 percent of trans women and 72 percent of trans men said they don’t ever want full genital construction surgery.” So for the record, your trans man character who doesn’t want bottom surgery is part of the majority of trans men.

There are loads of different kinds of surgeries (even if we’re just talking about genitalia, even if we’re just talking about one type of genitalia).

“Transition” is a really vague term. It includes all sorts of things for all sorts of people, and it has no start and end date usually. It can literally be just coming out and that’s it.

“Transgendered” is not the preferred term because it is not a verb, it is an identity (an adjective).

A great guide for phrasing things in a good way is the GLAAD media guide for writing about trans people. There’s some stuff in there that’s less of a consensus within the trans communities, but it’s very minimal, and what is there is not harmful.

Do not misgender your own characters when narrating things.

“Transwomen” and  "transmen" are not the preferred wording. There is a space between them, because as mentioned earlier, trans is an adjective. These are still women and men.

There usually isn’t a reason to feature or talk about surgeries or your trans character’s body in general within the plot. This doesn’t mean “avoid it at all costs” - just ask yourself if it actually is necessary. Most people asking questions related to surgeries and the like do not actually need to include that information.

It’s a common misconception that all trans men have vaginas and all trans women have penises, are perisex etc. The people who have penises cannot be summed up by saying “trans women and cis men” because not only does that exclude a whole lot of nonbinary people, (or how everybody generally is born with a phallus, but I digress) but intersex genitalia is extremely varied, and countless trans people do undergo surgeries. Most post-op genitalia looks indistinguishable from the kind that cis people have.

Gender dysphoria =/= body hatred. Here’s a link where I explain what gender dysphoria feels like for me.

Trans people are not “born in the wrong body” (some folks may use this phrasing to explain things to cis people who have no familiarity or patience to understand, or because they do actually feel that way - but it is by no means a catch-all).

We did not “used to be a [GAAB*]” and we are not “biologically [GAAB]” - we are who we say we are, even when we are closeted, even when our shape was different. Some folks who experience gender fluidity are different here and it’s not uniform - but it is still inappropriate for cis people to use these phrases.

he/him =/= “male pronouns” etc. Don’t gender pronouns! Not everyone who uses these pronouns is “male”.

The terms “female body” or “male body” are not helpful in explaining what a certain body is like. They have no uniform way of being, especially taking hormones, surgeries, and intersex persons into account. And if you identify as female, your body is female. It is your body.

ok so, i have a minor character in my story who is nonbinary and i want to refer to them without using their name. I need a gender neutral word similar to woman/man but i dont wanna use person because it feels too vague. Are there any words i could use?

If this is in a modern setting you can use enby, ie “an enby”, “the enby”, multiple enbies etc. Otherwise you can refer to them by their occupation/role, eg the doctor, the florist, the farmer, the customer, and so on and so forth. 

- mod Laini

Personally I prefer people just use “person” for me and not enby. Enby was specifically coined as an equivalent of boy/girl and I feel people using it for me is aging me down in a way that feels off. I really don’t think you should feel the need to avoid person. Inclusivity and neutrality aren’t necessarily vague, and when used in contrast with characters who are referred to as men and women, saying person, even “nonbinary person” specifically is fine.

A haiku to folx on the interwebs who mask their hate in “critique” and sarcastic “advice”.

You’re just so brave

Behind that glaring lit glass

You correct the world.

Lol I posted a photo on IG about body hair and how we demonize naturally occuring fluff as if the devil sent forth every little fur itself. And I can’t get over how well this exchange went down. We are still chatting.
