#being trans isn’t bad

[possibly-pasta]

hey, so im not suuuuper tapped into the discourse, but hi hello transfemmes and trans women, if someone had genuinely spotted how much of a fucking Egg i was in even middle school, and Pointed It Out, i feel like i would have had an easier time finding my identity.

i’m not transfemme, but i just wanna show my support in this weird moment of discourse

god the Woke Content Game List is stupid for so many reasons, but it’s also just CLEARLY subjective lol

FNV lets you have gay sex with several characters but it’s only listed as yellow, even though that’s a dealbreaker for other games. original Baldur’s Gate (extended edition) is red but BG2 is yellow, because there’s gay romances in both but only the first one has a trans character. what the fuck is “pro-DEI messaging” because I legitimately don’t know and that’s listed in a lot of notes. are you really so upset about a single line in passing from a Skyrim NPC that you needed to include that. these games aren’t even listed in alphabetical order.

Didn’t wanna say it on someone else’s post but that post about the shitty behavior of a handful of transmascs being generalized to the entire community made me think like. Yes and also a lot of times the “shitty” behavior in question is just transmascs existing.

9 times out of 10 if someone is accused of being one of ~those~ toxic masculinity type of trans guys it’s just bc he like,, asked to have his pronouns respected or felt gender euphoria about something traditionally masculine.

It’s to the point where if someone “compliments” me by being like “oh you’re not like Those trans guys” what they’re saying is that I’m feminine enough to be considered a good person. If your way of telling me I’m an acceptable variety of trans man is by erasing my manhood and insulting my fellow trans men then you’re insulting me too

People should be more afraid of asexuals, because they’re the only people that are immune to one of the seven deadly sins

I can’t get behind zolu as any ordinary romance because like…would they die for each other? Yes, absolutely. But luffy is also aroace as hell, and so I think if they’re in any sort of relationship it’s a qpr. But zosan has me by the fucking jugular, I think because I love the interesting dynamics they both have with gender and put them together and they’re two dumbasses with weird-ass genders. Like I eat that shit up.

anyways i’m still a little upset about that one tumblr post i saw ages ago that said social media was almost never a factor in teenagers developing an eating disorder. edblr was not the cause of mine but it fucking fueled that shit like pouring gasoline on a wildfire—and i never even interacted with a single person there. pinterest is barely even a social media, but i saw enough people on there that were unhealthily thin and beautiful that it made me want to starve myself.

and i’m not the only one. do you know how many people on edblr alone are teenagers? a lot.

so many of my friends have had social media cause body or health insecurities that led to disordered eating. social media is a huge factor in teenagers developing an eating disorder. linking a singular study done through a poll (not a tumblr poll, but regardless) to your post does not fucking change that.

“so sad being a harry potter fan/jkr stan and a transphobe pick a struggle” ok but how’s it a struggle? ?? because weird losers i don’t know will try to bully me on the internet ??? y’all are just smug because you were nobody in high school and now you feel like you win at life because you have internet clout from tweens and perverted adult men plus the duds who jumped on the bandwagon because they have zero values and beliefs of their own …. like stop projecting i promise no one gives a fuck that you’re “different” it’s still annoying and your green shaved head and mushroom tattoo aren’t punk or even really that cool at all….get a grip fr …anyways i’m gonna struggle by A) being objectively right and B) enjoying my childish stories that have no shortage of material (and more on the way!) to keep me entertained

Genuine question, is fionna and cake transphobic? I’ve seen people talking about how gender-bends like this are transphobic but a lot of people don’t seem to have a problem with fionna and cake so idk what to make of the show.

Feel free to ignore this if it's a bad/offensive question but yeah if any people (specifically other trans people) have any thoughts on this, I would appreciate hearing them, bc I don’t want to support this show if it’s pushing harmful stereotypes or something. But I also don’t want to like. make a big deal out of this if I’m overthinking it. Idk, I'm just confused

“I hate how people put themselves into neat little labels” well i love my labels actually!! sorry to you though

[thrilling-oneway]

Also shout out to the person who said in the tags of that airi post who said that half the debates in this fandom are over gender or sexuality because that’s true and it pisses me off immensely

[sunflowersolace]

terfs will say shit like “people with penises are incapable of feeling any emotion beyond rage” and think it’s the best most feminist take in the world. girl you are going backwards.
