the obvious double standard with which we as a society treat amab nonbinary people and trans women who don't fit the level of feminity that they're expected to is actually disgusting.

#I see it every day in the way my gm (and closest friend at work) is constantly misgendered without anyone apologizing #but everyone uses the correct pronouns for me and quickly corrects themselves if they mess up.#I see it in the way my nonbinary dad #couldn't be friends with women in our old homeschool group #without rumors being constantly spread that they were just trying to get in the women's pants.#I see it in the way my mom was disgusted and disturbed by discovering my dad's early forays into crossdressing #but is proud of me for being my authentic self.#I see it in the way my dad is still scared to wear a skirt despite frequently expressing a desire to #for fear of being seen as “an ugly man in a dress".#I see it in the way my theatre director is constantly called they or he despite clearly having she/her pronouns on her email.#I see it in the way my mom refuses to use the correct pronouns for my dad even though they are out to her #and constantly “forgets” my gm's pronouns even though I've used they/them for them for months.#deep down I know if I was born with a penis my mom would think of my transness much differently.#when “women” embrace masculinity they are seen as empowered at best and at worst as victims of the patriarchy.#confused little girls who don't know any better.#when “men” embrace feminity they are seen as predators. traps. manipulative freaks.#I see it every day. It's so deeply ingrained in our society it seems like there's no escaping it.

ok guys in an extremely tragic twist of faith my hyperfixated brain betrayed me and the article will actually just be about female characters in game in general using EoW as a jumping board, which does fill my soul with dread and weariness instead of joy :((

(perhaps for nothing, maybe it will be great but still I'm SO DISAPPOINTED)

#thoughts #I'm SO SAD #I thought I would be allowed to just rant about my hyperfixation and express complicated things I spent so long thinking about #instead I'm so scared this will feel like 2014 feminism 101 and I dddo not care I'm sorry #I don't want to talk about hypersexualization and walk the fine line of saying what is expected VS what I actually think #which is far more complicated than “big bazongas bad” and I don't know if there will be space for that nuance #I don't want to talk about the fact that yes we have more diversity but like 2/3 of that diversity still comes from white cis male brains #hiring diverse experts to serve more as hype-men and good cautions than actual authentic voices half the time #and white cis male imagination is STILL by and far the only one being funded and produced even if there are more women queer PoC on screen #but the actual people are being blamed for something they have generally like 2% of control over #:(((#I just wanted to talk about gerudos..... and zelda's iterations.... and midna..... and so many others....#:((((((((((((

about to leave a scathing review for a historical fiction book on goodreads (felt so strongly about it i made an account for the first time) then chickening out once i realised i'd put down my full name and i dont want to offend the author TOO much in case we end up working in the same field as historians

#missives #i admire her a lot too which sucks but holy shit. this book is bad its SO bad #maybe i'll post my review here just to get it out of my system #in essence its a book about a real historical figure but shes written in this way where literally all she ever does is serve men #and have babies continuously #and we're meant to believe she's fallen in love with her dropkick of a husband who does fuck all and is constantly abroad #and like. of course i can believe that's how some women were especially given their religious inclinations #but i could feel the feminism leaving my body the longer i read the book like it is that bad i felt like i was being brainwashed #it starts good like it goes into her childhood and relationship with her siblings #but then she just turns into her husband's mother essentially and its so revolting. and it doesnt even feel authentic? like #none of these people feel like real people. they dont fight they dont have nasty thoughts they are so fucking sanitised #i dont know what i expected.jpeg #and this woman is a historian!! she has a phd!!#yet she gets basic things wrong to an immersion-breaking degree #the whole thing is set during the civil wars but she NEVER talks about there being surgeons i have not seen a single mention of a surgeon #shes always referring to doctors and physicians but it's becoming apparent to me that when she says physician #shes just using it as an old timey word for doctor not because she properly understands the 17th century medical hierarchy #fucking hell. im so mad

To Find Your Destiny … Who To Be: Identity, Authenticity, & Crisis by Michael Adzema is free, August 12th thru 16th

What does one do in a postmodern, complex, multicultural world in which the options are so numerous and enticing as to paralyze one’s actions? How does one live a good life, a fulfilling life? What actions, commitments, careers, causes, service are most likely to return happiness?

These are questions we all need to address in our youth, yet throughout our lives as well. They come out again…

Women will always be entraped by the patriarchy fighting for one form of womanhood. But there is no one form of us, we are multifaceted beings with different interests and hobbies and ways of expressing ourselves.

Women are not a monolith and we need to fundamentally understand this in order to better ourselves(as a society).

#intersectionalfeminist #intersectionality #i couldn’t care how a woman presents herself so long as shes doing it with self confidence and is assured that this is what she wants #and i think it is important that as women we uplift one another and encourage eachother to live our most authentic self assured lives #that we live for ourselves and not another #feminism #womanhood #just thoughts #starzalign #women

As we celebrate love this Valentine's Day, we must dedicate ourselves to teaching boys and men that their emotions are valid and to give them the tools to embrace, listen to, name, and process their emotions and to do the same for others. If we want men to be safer, responsive, and authentic lovers and partners, we must, as a society, promote healthy emotional relationships with others and with ourselves.

I really really appreciate obvious aging. I love you laugh lines. I love you big noses that were never trimmed to perfection. I love you forehead wrinkles from thinking. I love you crows feet. I love you smiling with gaps. I love you smeared makeup from having an amazing night. I love you spending money on experiences rather than facial reconstruction. I love you being confident with no shame. I love you being completely yourself no matter where you are. I love you aging with no hesitation.

Originally when I wrote this song, it says “we are the kings”. I felt it was important to stress that the girls I envisioned are not answerable to anyone. They make their own rules. During production, they changed “kings” to “queens”. I realize I did not mind, since it gave the song another empowering angle. Both Anne and I are LGBTQ+ allies. By saying “we are the queens”, the song gets a whole other colorful and empowering dimension.

“For a long while, she was not aloud to speak, aloud to think. She wasn’t to joke or jest, or to poke fun. She was to be proper.

She was to be a ‘lady.’

Until one day, she broke free.

She spoke, she thought. She joked and teased. She was ‘improper.’

And she felt good.”
