#Stop infighting

Man, I hate when trans people jump on the bandwagon to hate other trans people. Like, there’s this post that’s been going around criticizing the fetishization of trans women (which is 100% something we should talk about) but like, it aims the whole thing directly at transmascs. like hello??? yeah there definitely are some transmascs who fetishize trans women, but other people do too and I guarantee you transmascs are not the majority. Stop trying to make other trans people the scapegoat and put the blame where it belongs (on our inherently transphobic society).

happy anniversary to whatever all that was

is being trans yuri?

What, you like girls so much you just had to become one? That's pretty gay.

If it's not about that - say one is transitioning the other way or identifies as nonbinary - I will say queerness itself is very yuri. It's an open hearted position to be in. Queer people tend to understand the importance of diversity and loving diversity. Queer people are the most likely to accept a young girl coming out as a lesbian, even when her parents don't. Queer people are generally loving and kind people, who know the struggle of forcing themselves to fit inside a cisheteronormative society. Trans people are some of the queerest people out there.

whenever i see someone who is like "yes but [x] isnt as oppressed as [y]!!" or "[x] is widely accepted now!!" as a way to like. disregard queer people's experiences. i'm just like. have you been outside? have you been in the real world?

Truly do not understand where people get these takes from. From what i've seen, the communist quest is the kindest to Harry by far

ok I know I'm going to be drowned out as one of many and I don't want to be the guy feeding the public frenzy right now but I want to offer my thoughts on the watchertv situation.

I've been a fan of ryan and shane for almost 6 years. I got into them when I was around 12-13, and now, at 18 years old, they've occupied a fairly significant part of the last third of my life. I feel reasonably confident in saying I've watched everything they've ever made, from buzzfeed and watcher, and when they went out to found watcher, I was abundantly happy to welcome steven into my parasocial love for them. I feel like I've grown up with them, and going off to college next year, it was never a question in my mind that they'd follow with me. I mean, I bought their unsolved book the second it was announced, and I even snagged a ghost files shirt and a professor plush when he was rereleased. I took the professor to the lizzie borden house for my 18th birthday overnight, and wow was that an expense, but I've wanted to go ever since middle school when I stumbled across buzzfeed unsolved for the first time. in short, losing them is like losing a constant presence in my life, a cherished presence, no matter how ridiculously parasocial that makes me sound.

when I heard about watchertv, I was crushed. in the past couple days, I've jumped from betrayal to desperation to grief to bitter anger. but I think I've landed now in a place where those make more sense to me. I agree wholeheartedly with so many commenters on every platform right now. they're just like me, feeling let down and disappointed by the people we've idealized, and gotten used to seeing for free. but I also understand exactly how this idea came about, I know what it's like to feel backed into a corner on something, forced to make a hard choice where it feels like only a radical shift will save you. we as fans were there for the three of them, their dynamic. but their dreams don't match up. they want freedom to make what they want, and they feel passionate about growth to tv quality. that's what they're aspiring to, I do genuinely think that.

I won't sit here and go on about the different takes people have made about steven's masterminding or shane's reluctance. the bitter stuff that's been said feels very harsh. but I can't condemn the people saying things out of anger that aren't targeted. it's ok for them to feel upset. sure, maybe it sucks that it has to come out on a public forum like the internet but it's valid nonetheless. but on their end, that's got to hurt. I hope so dearly that watchertv succeeds, even if it has to change a lot to do that. a subscription service isn't what we want, but it's what they believe will let them make the quality content they want to. that's worth pursuing, and I care about them so much that I want them to go for it.

I hate that I can't follow them into this next chapter. and I'm sure a lot of other people are too, and however they choose to feel that is perfectly ok. but their creative satisfaction and happiness does not depend on me, and it shouldn't be limited by what I can or am willing to do.

anyway my heart goes out to them truly. I'll miss them in college, and probably forever, and hopefully our paths cross again. but even if we don't, I'm happy for the memories I was able to make, I hope every other upset fan feels the same way eventually too :))

It's so wild to see people in this day and age insist that bisexuality is transphobic bcs bi means "atrraction to men and women" (which, no it doesn't but w/e) and clearly "men and women" doesn't inherently include trans people. Like are they truly unaware of how that argument is itself transphobic?? Why are you assuming when I say men and women I'm NOT including trans people?? Why are you so insistent that "trans people" are some other group separate from "men and women"?? They aren't!! When I say I like men I am including trans men bcs trans men ARE MEN. Same with trans women.

I mean fuck, it's like someone responding to me saying I like all people with "but do you like nonbinary people tho" Gee, I dunno, they're people aren't they??? Stop projecting transphobia onto my words. If you don't think "men and women" inherently and explicitly includes trans people that's a YOU problem.

Anyway all mspec identities are valid and trans inclusive and us multisexual people get enough hate from people outside our community, we shouldn't be tearing each other down on top of it. Attacking bi or pan or omni people isn't gonna make bigoted monosexuals hate us any less, stop doing their work for them.

Don't use the transs*xual label, it's really fucking transphobic :/

the term transsexual predates the term transgender and was the one originally used by trans people at pride parades to find fellow trans people. i'm not going to stop calling myself a transsexual just because you think a term made by and for trans people is fucking transphobic lol

every time i go into the black sails tag or look at notes on my posts i very unsurprisingly come across many people whose opinions diverge from mine. now everyone is entitled to their own opinion but when i feel the urge to get on my high horse about these Wrong individuals really i have to remind myself that this is the 'every character is so convinced that they exclusively are right and everyone else is wrong that they cause untold tragedy because of it' show
