my dad, who works with the public, once asked me what you were supposed to do if you see a person who physically looks female but dresses very masculine - therefore could be transgender, or vice versa, like should you ask them for their pronouns or assume something because they could be offended and you don’t want to offend or make anyone uncomfortable and i honestly have no idea what to do.

asking pronouns for everyone in LGBT support groups: inclusive, helpful, can help people see what makes them feel best, etc

asking pronouns for everyone literally anywhere else: possibly endangering, forces people out of closet potentially, is awkward as hell, etc

Reblog if you’d be okay if your friend came out as transgender

let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out

[clebastian]

The reason Jace Herondale is so important, is for every person that’s felt what it is like to feel broken. For everyone that’s felt no matter how much you try to be better, and good, often it feels like you just can’t fix it. 

He is the hero of those that know what it feels like to not know if you can trust your own head, to not know what is real. He’s for those who know what real panic feels like, and that sometimes for no reason at all, pain just comes back and you can’t stop it. 

He matters for those that know what’s like to hate and love your parents. 

He’s for those that can’t understand feeling loved without feeling guilty or ashamed. He is a character for people that have had their love and their minds manipulated far too many times before, that they don’t know what a real relationship even feels like.

He’s for people that desperately need shelter, and affection, and love, but never learned to ask for anything they really needed in life. He’s for people that have in any form had greater pain than anyone their age and don’t know how to move on from there. He’s for people that are grieving for people they loved, people that hurt them, and for the person they wished to be. He’s for the people that feel their love is never needed, or important, or that they just don’t know how to give it.

He’s for everyone that has ever been used to an inch of their self love and self respect, and just want hope that things can be better one day. 

Jace is a character for all those people with all of that pain, and who is still blatantly filled with so much love, and goodness, and selflessness, and bravery, and generosity, and kindness. He is a character for those people to love, themselves, and realize that if they can love him and see the good in him, and the wrong in those who’ve wronged him, why can’t they do it for themselves?

He is a character that shows everyone that feels broken, that you can feel that way, in every sense of the word, and not be broken at all. That you can feel weak and be a hero. That you can have your love used, and still find people you can trust with it. That there’s HOPE.  

Jace is a character for anyone that needs someone to tell them, “I’ve been where you are, and I’ve made my way out, so can you. I’ve found where I belong, so can you. I’ve learned to love and trust again, so can you. I’ve earned my life back, so can you.”

So don’t you dare say that Jace Herondale doesn’t matter. Because sometimes to feel heard, understood, and identify w someone that can feel just like you do, and still be good, and still be brave, and still be light, and still be loved, and still be whole, is ALL that matters.

“I was born this color. I did not know how to wear a glamour as a newborn. There was no way to look like anything but what I was then, all the time, even though it was not safe. My mother saw me and knew what I was, but she hid me from the world. She raised me in secret. She did everything she could to keep me safe. A great wrong was done to her, and she gave back love. Every human I heal, I heal in her name. I do what I do to honor her, and to know that when she saved my life she saved countless lives through the centuries.”

mark blackthorn wasn’t brooding or troubled exactly. but mark blackthorn had a divided heart. he also had a soft, husky voice, startling eyes, and a habit of saying things that turned the world backward.

But yeah, he's so progressive for wanting women to be paid the same as him.

Compared autistic people to Frankenstein’s Monster while talking about his part as the Creature in a production of Frankenstein: “It’s basically being a man child, it’s being a man infant. And then, psychologically, Danny and Nick Dear, who’s adapted the Mary Shelley novel, into a brilliant 2 ½ hour play version of it, he, they both have autistic sons. So we went to two extraordinary schools and met some high spectrum autistic kids. And it was very, very humbling and amazing and very upsetting, but very, very extraordinary as well, and inspiring. And especially the people looking after them, and these amazing life forces, but just formed with…*sigh* um, socially just things that are outside of everyday.  You know, there are certain barriers that aren’t there because of the arrested development that… there was a 17 year old that had the mental age of, I think, an 18 month old. I mean, it was… It’s…it’s…it’s really really extraordinary and very upsetting. And uh, it was important for them to realize that the Creature in their story was not their… the monster of old… the monster of the gothic horror stories.  He’s very much an innocent.  He’s very much someone who is carried through life, as someone who is so different, not only because of his appearance, but because of these behaviorial tics, which are very autistic, um, both in his understanding of the world, psychologically and emotionally, but also physically as well, how that manifests later in his body. And so that was the major part of the preparation.” (Explanation/ analysis at the link)

Said he had been “castigated as a moaning, rich, public-school b******, complaining about only getting posh roles”

About the 2011 London riots: “ ”I’m a Prince of Wales Trust ambassador, so I’m all about giving youth an education, a voice and a chance to not take the wrong road. But those eejits saying they’re doing it for socio-political reasons? Fuck off, no you’re not, you’re on a jolly and you’re getting away with it. It makes me want to belt them, make them lame for a bit so they’re dependent on other people’s mercy… It’s very hard for me to talk about it, because I came from an incredibly privileged bubble so the minute I open my mouth I can sense the comeback of, ‘What the fuck do you know?’ And that’s fair. But my sympathy is with the people who do know what they’re talking about, who have been brought up on estates and live morally decent, contributing lives and who have seen opportunists destroying all their work.“

About Elementary, the American version of Sherlock ”I did say [to Jonny], 'Well, I’d prefer you didn’t do it but you’ve got a kid to feed, a nice house in LA and a wife to keep in good clothes.’ When you get used to a certain standard of living and they waft a paycheck at you, what are you going to do?“

"I look in a mirror and I see all the faults I’ve lived with for 35 years and yet people go kind of nuts for certain things about me.”

“I know I’m no technical expert but I do love trying to sort of dance with the camera. And he knows I’m a tart for it”

“Those slightly mad eyes which became sadly a lot madder which became part of the tragedy of Jeremy’s life”

“Martin has much more intuitive brilliance than I have which would make him an asexual sociopath. Not that Martin Freeman is an asexual sociopath but he’s just far quicker at thinking than I am.”

Said he thought Sherlock’s haircut was “womanly”

“Being a posh actor in England, you can’t escape class-typing, from whatever side you look at it. I realised quite early on that, although I wasn’t trying to make a career speciality of it, I was playing slightly asexual, sociopathic intellectuals” Wow that must be so hard for you Benny. You should go complain to some POC actors who can’t get work because of the massive racism and whitewashing in the entertainment industry. I’m sure they’ll feel really bad for you.

About the Victoria Era: “Everyone was held in their place, but what was honourable about it was that there was a duty of care from the top down”. White Man’s Burden, anyone?

“I want to be able to play trailer-bound fatties in a Judd Apatow comedy”

“In America I could play everything from trailer-trash to Harvard-educated”

Recently performed a reading of R. Kelly’s “Genius,” a mockery designed to show the “absurdity” of the lyrics, which reinforces the class and race hierarchy.

Defended Julian Assange and claimed the sexual assault charges against him were just “character defamation"

Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.

Autistic people shouldn’t have to hide out autistic traits anytime we go out in public
