Gender and pronouns

Greetings, if you are reading this it may mean you are or know someone who is either genderfluid, agender, nonbinary, trans etc. And you don’t want to use the wrong pronouns.

Well, if you or someone you know are trans. Whichever gender you or they have transitioned to would be your pronouns to use. For example. A female has transitioned to male. The pronouns are now he/him/his and such. Even if they have not undergone surgery, taken T or any thing else than binding, even without binding. If they tell you they are a he, then it is good manners to respect that and call them such or at least they them.

For thee opposite, a male that has transitioned to female. Same thing in reverse. Even if she has not started taking estrogen yet, even if she isn’t wearing makeup. If she tells you she’s a she, then she’s a she.

Another way to help is asking. Seriously, as long as it doesn’t come off as rude.

I.e. “What are you?”

That is a no-no. It’s like you’re referring to them as an object.

More so try “Pardon me, we have just met, but I would like to know if you have preferred pronouns?” It may seem a little weird and you may think it’s presumptuous. My friend’s who are both cisgender male and female do not mind at all when asked by members of the lgbtq+ community. But, it’s always better to try to read the person and then decide the best approach.

Most people who are comfortable with their gender identity will inform you of the pronouns in the first few conversations you have with them. You may forget sometimes. My friend Lucas, who is a ftm transgender, used to have a very feminine name. I often forget to refer to him as Lucas only because I knew him longer as his deadname, but I usually correct myself and refer to him properly.

I am genderfluid and even on my ‘guy days’ as my boyfriend likes to call it, I may not wear a binder. Mostly because i have breathing issues and a binder exacerbates that. I simply wear more masculine clothing and enjoy more masculine activities. I’m still a he on those days, even if I still have a woman’s chest. It’s all about asking. My friend’s constantly ask and if they aren’t sure they just refer to me as a they or them which is perfectly fine.

So, whether you are trans, know someone who is trans or genderfluid, just follow along there and also look at this nifty chart I found on a college website.

(Above are supposedly all gender neutral pronouns)

Anyways, hope this helps people, if there’s anything someone wants to add or correct. Please feel free to do so in a reblog.

i wish more people said that being single is normal

and you’re not going to meet and marry someone

and that’s fine

and if marriage happens, it happens. and it’s not the next big ticket to check off in life’s checklist

because not everyone meets someone they want to marry. and that’s normal

you’re not broken or unfulfilled if you are single

my favourite part of the Evolutionary Biology courses I took at the University of Toronto was learning that several bird species have 3+ sexes? the ruff bird is a great example - each male variant has a different (and successful!) reproductive strategy, and a different chromosomal sequence.

unlike the ruff bird, human sex falls into a bimodal distribution - this means there are two strong peaks (”typical” male and female morphs), with a whole lot in between.

evolution is nice way of saying “statistics played out longterm among living organisms”, and evolutionarily successful traits….aren’t something to hold up as natural or moral, or representative of an advanced state. it’s literally just fuck tactics that make your group size increase.

(though fucking isn’t always the best route, as asexual reproduction is massively advantageous as a short-term strategy, and certain species dominate the landscape by switching between sexual/asexual depending on environmental conditions)

besides all that, the strength of humankind has always been our ability to work together communally, and that’s straight science. so even if you went down the extremely problematic path of valuing fellow humans based on their potential evolutionary contribution (coughs, eugenics, coughs), there would still be zero scientific basis behind discriminating against trans, non-binary and intersex people. 

tl;dr here’s a challenge to all the bigots out there: please stop using “science” as a defence when the actual science is (overwhelmingly) against you.

Bang Chan

Guys, Bang Chan is the best friend everybody wants, where can i get one?, do other Bang Chan exist?, i hope so, we all deserve our own Bang Chan in our life. This boy remind us of our Worth when we lose sight of it, when we don’t have faith in ourselves. Chan Always trusts us when we, in the countrary, fear ourselves, he sees the good in us when we only see darkness. Bang Chan is also a guide, he Always gives us great advices, he Always speaks with that gentle tone in his voice, he’s Always so sweet and patience with us, he takes us by the hand and leads us through life. I think that what he does for us should never be taken for granted, it’s very kind of him to go live like he does, just to listen to our concernes and problems, he Always listens to us well and tries to give the best advices, that shows how truly beautiful he is, we don’t deserve him sometimes, and yet he doesn’t stop wanting to help us, i am very thankful for the gift that is Bang Chan, i am thankful for the time he spends with us instead of using it to rest, we should never forget that he isn’t obligated to do what he does and that he could stop if we don’t show respect to him (he would be right in wanting to stop doing what he does for us if we don’t behave ourselves). So yeah, in conclusion Bang Chan is a blessing to this world, i hope to find a Chan in my life, or to have the strenght to be a Chan for someone in need, i feel like we can take example from him and do what he does, thank you Chan, for everything.

TRCNG members sueing TS ENT because of child abuse

TRCNG is a group beneath TS ENTERTAINMENT, a company that was previously managing B.A.P, and also sistergroup SONAMOO.

Earlier today word has gotten out that two members of the group, Taeseon and Wooyeop, are sueing the company for child abuse and injury resulting from violence. they also want to terminate the 9 year contract they’ve signed with TS ENT.

Not a lot of people know TRCNG, but the members’ ages are between 19 and 18. Some members have been training at TS ENT. for over 5 years before they made their debut on 171010. This means some of them have been at this company with abusive staff for over 7 years.

Below is a part from Soompi’s article on the case, and I’d like for everyone to read it as it’s truly disgusting what the members have been put through. 

According to Wooyeop and Taeseon, Park Sang Hyun forced them to practice choreography from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. every day, and they had to report to the company again at 10 a.m. for vocal and personal practice. The members could not travel two to three hours round trip to properly attend school, so they switched schools in their second year of high school and are currently two years behind other students of their age.

Wooyeop and Taeseon said that Park Sang Hyun also assaulted the members using a game as an excuse and cursed at them continuously. The agency did not take any action when the members where injured while B-boying, so the members went to the emergency room by themselves to receive treatment. They were not provided food, and their dorm’s water and power were cut off due to the bills not being paid. As the agency did not take action when their air conditioner, toilet, and purifier were broken, the members’ parents fixed them or purchased new ones.

Regarding choreography director Yoon, he is said to have assaulted Wooyeop with a steel chair on June 10 of this year. The company did not take any action, so Wooyeop went to the Soonchunhyang University Emergency Room by himself and was told that he would need 14 days to recover. He went back and forth to and from the hospital for two days, but he was transferred to a different hospital nearby due to a high fever. His temperature exceeded 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) when Park Sang Hyun visited the hospital and said, “One person’s life can be ruined because of you, so be careful of what you say.”

After Wooyeop was discharged from the hospital, Park Sang Hyun and other managers said that he is lying and that he got sick from drinking and meeting up with girls. Wooyeop is now receiving counseling at a hospital. He shared that another employee of the agency also extorted 1.2 million won (approximately $1,030) from him.

According to the statement, Taeseon was scolded and hit often since trainee days because he is the leader, and he says that he was hit in the head and cursed at when being scolded. He decided that he can no longer remain in the company while seeing the lack of action taken when Wooyeop was assaulted and in the hospital.

The company has also released their counter statement, stating Taeseon and Wooyeop are both lying, and some of the TRCNG members also do not agree with the accusations. However, these members are all children. I can only imagine they don’t feel comfortable about speaking up against the abuse, and these distasteful powerful people threaten them just as they threatened Wooyeop when he was in the hospital.

TS ENT. will sue Taeseon and Wooyeop back for the harm they’re causing the company by ‘spreading these lies’ and also for defamation.

If you’ve liked groups as B.A.P or SONAMOO, you’ll probably already know what kind of a disgusting company TS ENT. is. But this is crossing a line we never believed to hear of, and I beg of you to spread the word about this situation. TRCNG does not have a lot of fans and we need all the help we can get. Taeseon and Wooyeop are 19 year old kids. They’ve taken away the lives of all these 10 kids completely, setting them back at receiving education, abusing them mentally and physically, not paying their wages. This is not okay. We can’t let this company get away with this again. Please help us spread the word. Please.

Read this and save a life - YOUR OWN

From a surgical nurse and certified CPR teacher:

Please pause for 2 minutes and read this:

1. Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.

2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.

3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.

4. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.

5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

6. HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

8. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

9. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

10. A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we’ll save at least one life.

11. Rather than sending jokes, please... contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person’s life.

12. If this message comes around you... more than once… please don’t get irritated... You should instead, be happy that you have many friends who care about you & keeps reminding you how to deal with a Heart attack.

please take the time and boost this post by reposting it and sending it to those you love because we all need to understand how to quickly deal with heart attacks

[brokenmoonsworld]

My intention isn’t to BOSS people around. But people who don’t create on tumblr really have to understand that if creators stop posting here, you won’t have anything else to like but maybe memes. If you want content to circle around to your dashboard... you have to pay it forward and reblog. That is why this website is dying. The Ban is not the only reason.

[brokenmoonsworld]

2020 is coming & the biggest kpop trend better be everyone minding their own business, appreciating idols, respecting idols' privacy, stanning their own favs and growing the tf up instead of insulting idols/fandoms online because that shit is getting old.
