im firing off some rent control bits in here to make sure no antitransmasculine people have started following me since ive forsaken my place as a trans man in my community of other trans men. i will always be antitransmisogynistic, but trans men are oppressed for being trans, and we are often oppressed by other trans people, IN THE SAME WAY TRANS MEN WILL OPPRESS OTHER TRANS PEOPLE, and we deserve to be able to talk about that without being put on blast by both terfs and baeddels. i have been sitting on some pretty heavy secrets regarding trans women i used to date and trans women i used to be friends with that i simply cannot share on here because my account has gone viral a couple of times and i know that if i posted about these things, that terfs and transphobes would use them to demonize all trans women. i love trans women, and i dont want that to happen. but i need to set the standard going forward in a way that i have not in a while:

-i am done forsaking my identity as a trans man for the comfort of other trans people. i am not nonbinary, i am not transmasculine, i am a TRANS MAN

-this is a safe space against transandrophobia, antitransmasculinity, transmisandry, or whatever you call specific oppression against trans men and transmasculine people on account of them being trans men or transmasculine

-this is not the same as being a "mens rights activist" because yall dumbasses know full well that cis-centric "mens rights activism" does not include the voices of trans men or transmasculine people, and actively seeks to harm us and other trans people. trans men do have specific needs that are NOT being met in this trans community. ive seen so many trans men not want to come out as trans men because yall are so hateful to us. I DETRANSITIONED TO IDENTIFY AS NONBINARY BECAUSE YALL MADE ME FEEL ASHAMED OF MY SEXUAL IDENTITY, AND THAT IS TRANSPHOBIA, SPECIFICALLY TRANSANDROPHOBIA

-trans man lesbians are always welcome here, and there are many good and "valid" reasons a trans man would identify as a lesbian, but i also have come to understand that a lot of trans men lesbians might not identify that way if yall werent so damn hateful to trans men and especially straight trans men

-trans men are an oppressed group, both within and outside of the trans community, and sometimes trans women are the ones oppressing trans men. and sometimes, trans men are the ones oppressing trans women. its because we're all in this fucking community and we dont always get along and some trans men see trans women as women who need to shut the fuck up, and some trans women see trans men as women who need to shut the fuck up. trans men should not have to pussyfoot around the fact that sometimes the people targetting us are trans women in order to be heard and understood. and trans men should also not have to outright say "this doesnt mean i hate trans women" on every single post about antitransmasculinity when no trans woman is doing the same for us

-trans mens rights have a place in womens rights. trans men often have to rely on womens spaces and supports and healthcare in order to survive. that is because we live in a misogynistic society that polices and oppresses people with uteruses and vaginas in several ways. trans men have DIED because they could not access womens healthcare as trans men. cis and trans women have died because they werent given competent care as women. so have trans men. im not calling trans men women by saying this, if you have an issue with it, find another word to describe womens rights. perhaps "the rights of people oppressed for their sex/gender" is a good start

thats it. if youre mad, be mad. im mad too honestly. im angry that i was pressured back into the closet by my own community and FRIENDS because i knew that if i was openly a TRANS MAN then i would not be accepted by them. im angry that BABY TRANS BOYS ARE SCARED TO COME OUT because of how hateful the part of the trans community that does not experience antitransmasculinity get to trans boys and trans men. TRANS BOYS AND TRANS MEN DESERVE BETTER. we arent "trans in proxy to trans women," we dont only experience transphobia because of our "proximity to trans women," trans men are also transitioning due to gender dysphoria or gender euphoria like any other trans person does, and trans men do NOT deserve to be villainized to the point where we're recloseting ourselves to fit in with our own damn community

Different standards

Your silent protagonist doesn't have to use sign language btw. They don't have to write things down, either. They don't have to use language at all. Not every single person who doesn't talk can use words the same as you, or use them at all, so your favorite silent character shouldn't have to use what you consider a grammatical language to communicate in your fanart and fics. AAC exists. Drawing exists. Gestures and body language exist. Btw.

idk what discourse dimension some of you "fandom elders" are stuck in, but in my ~15 years in online (and sometimes irl) fandom spaces, this is the golden age for me

shipping wars have literally always existed and acting like we all used to hold hands and sing kumbaya is insane. "well, there wasnt this moral component thats soooo annoying these days" okay but thats worse. you do see how thats worse, right? people used to tell each other to kill themselves over zutara vs kataang and then not even care when people were racist. twice as mad for reasons half as reasonable. also, where were you all in 2015-2019? that was the era of "steven universe is fascism apologism" and "i headcanon these characters as found family, so its incest to ship them". now shipping "drama" is like "oh i broke mutuals with them after they wrote smut of this child character being assaulted by their parent", which is actually just a normal response

wondering what torment nexus some of you are trapped in where fandom has gotten more toxic? hope you can escape soon, because im having a ball out here in a world where biphobia is seen as a bigger problem than a ship being dumb

Are we gonna have to share a fandom with the new live action fans??? I don't think I'll ever be mentally prepared for that (especially if they're coming from tiktok)

can i say sth

[deancaslover]

Me: just want to see what people are saying about derek/casey on other sites-

Everywhere on the internet: INCESTUOUS. PROBLEMATIC. CONTROVERSIAL. WRONG. CREEPY. FREAKS.

Ok so people need to learn what words actually mean.

genuinely, it's so funny to me when jon.elias shippers hate j.mart for the specifically stated reason that "martin isnt good for jon". Yes, the guy with realistic flaws and traits that occasionally create conflicts with Jons own flaws and traits is bad for him, so jmart is toxic. Jon deserves someone who treats him right.

In fact, you know who's good for Jon? The person who effectively used him as a puppet, made a plan centered on scarring him for life 13 times and executed it without remorse, then used his body to end the world, an experience so horrifying that Jon would rather literally kill everyone on earth than risk someone else feeling it too. Now that's a guy Jon deserves!

i have come here to personally thank you for giving me more than i asked for 🙏🏻 i am utterly grateful like IDJFKDKKFODOD 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️ it made me so happy the last doodle has my heart he is so cute i will eat him

also there is a DROUGHT out there for us noritoshi fans like im living on CRUMBS its insane and omg dont even talk to me abt how it feels like to be a kashimo and ino lover (altho they are getting a bit more love now) my nori is still underrated :/ sooo hence im asking ur hand in friendship and in exchange i promise to share my hcs with you abt nori my sweet lil meow meow we're in this together 💪🏻💪🏻

also since its October, do you think he likes horror movies? i feel like he can withstand gory movies but its the jumpscares that get him and he wont tell u he's scared when u watch one with jumpscares owkfkdkd imagine him hiding his face against ur shoulder or something 😭😭😭 (i used to do that with my dad when we watched horror movies and i used to be like im not scared😤😤 when he asked if i was lmfao thats where this hc stemmed from)

N. NORITOSHI HIDING IN YOUR SHOULDER OR SUPPRESSING HIS REACTIONS TO THE JUMPSCARES....... WAS IT AN INVOLUNTARY REACTION TO USE YOU TO HIDE??????? WAS IT BUILT UP TRUST????? DID HE GROW USED TO HOLDING ONTO YOU WHEN HE GETS SURPRISED BECAUSE HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE HE HAS HIS VALUABLES SAFE????????? WAS IT A MOMENT WHERE HIS MIND JUST INSTINCTIVELY GRABBED THE FIRST THING HE WANTED TO PROTECT/BE PROTECTED BY???????? OH MY FUCK.

he's probably used to gore and gritty stuff like that since he sees it often being a jujutsu sorcerer and all. not to mention his technique is literally blood. maybe he's desensitized to gore films, the most you'll get from him is a disgusted scowl.

BUT DID YOU SEE HOW QUICK HIS EYE OPENED WHEN HANAMI SHOWED UP BEHIND HIM. YOURE SO FUCKING FR ABT JUMPSCARES. Noritoshi is that guy who wouldn't scream or yelp but gasp really loudly and jump out of his skin.

i feel like they get him most in horror because of the music building up anticipation. if its one of those fake outs where the jumpscare comes a bit after, he's fucked UP. It makes him instantly miffed, as he tries to regain his composure. He swears he's not usually like this, it got him by surprise is all..!

Noritoshi is the type that'd only watch a horror movie if the story is rich and complex. He's the type of guy to like open endings that make you think.. if it's a guilty pleasure movie where all the protags make stupid decisions, he gets annoyed right off the bat.

He's groaning and complaining about how imbecile the characters are, but would still watch it with you because you personally invited him. If he's lucky you could fall asleep on his shoulder or [insert movie cliche here] how could he pass that up? But Noritoshi wouldn't be able to focus on you if he gets twice as annoyed because its a bad movie + jumpscares. it still startles him, but the movie is so terrible, he's embarrassed it got him, especially in front of you!!!

if you get involved and you tell him to quiet down, Noritoshi would shift his focus towards you. like that awkward guy who thinks he's being smooth and lowkey about how he cuddles up next to you. He wants to be the tough guy who's shoulder you can hide in, and he is!! just not.. with jumpscares.......
