#im gonna queue this actually

[scarletspectral]

As a transmasc guy who isn't on T (i've been on a waiting list for trans healthcare since 2016 at this point i'm borderline resigned, I don't have the money for private healthcare so it is what it is) I have a lot of experience with the weirdness of the "women & nonbinary" crowd, because, it's not what it seems to be. Like, I'm a man, I'm openly a man I wear he/him badges and my gender on my driver's lisence is male and I say I am a man whenever my gender is brought up, but, as I'm not passing I frequently get told I'm allowed to come to these spaces, because at their heart they're not "women & nonbinary" they're "people we see as women" and it just gives me disgusted chills. My partner is nonbinary, my partner is seen as more masc than me by others (despite them really not being), they're never invited to these but I am and it really makes my blood boil.

I think one of my worst experiences was pre-pandemic when I was helping someone table at a very small local con, it was lgbt in nature and I was being even more open than usual on being a transman. Now I've been really into the idea of getting back into rollerskating for a few years now but have never found somewhere I wanted to go skate, so when someone came up to me and spoke to me for a while before handing me a flier for their rollerskate group I was very excited, after a few minutes I noticed the flier said "for women & nonbinary people" and I brought it up to the person, saying how if that was the case I couldn't really attend and that I would pass the flier on to some other people I know and that I hoped to find somewhere to join soon, I wasn't upset with the group at all and was polite because again it is what it is and as a man that's not my space I suppose. The person then started insisting that it was fine for me to come without really answering why except for a few vague gestures at my person, because to them it didn't matter that I was a man because to them I was a woman, which caused me to quickly end the conversation and have a sit down alone for a while.

This isn't a one off thing, and frustratingly I've seen it happen more and more to others as well as myself. It's not just invalidating to transmasc people like myself it's also invalidating to nonbinary people of all presentations. I've seen people say "these people just want women and women lite(tm)" and upsettingly it seems to be true from my own experiences despite how much I really don't want it to be.

I'm not sure what my point here is supposed to be but, it sucks. I've loved so many parts of being in a community, the lgbt meetups and the trans vigils and the protests I've been to over the past seven years or so have been heartwarming and full of so much togetherness that the sad topics some of them are covering feel almost hopeful because people are here and they care. But then this sort of thing will happen in these spaces I've come to see as safe and a little bit of that hope sours, a little bit of that community feels othering.

I'm so tired of saying it is what it is, I don't want it to be anymore.

i am definitely the only person who cares about this but I was re-reading parts of Sea of Monsters (irrelevent as to why) and. in the chariot race. well, a.) The Ares cabin has skeleton horses. where did they get skeleton horses? and then, actually more confusingly, b.) almost all the other chariots besides Hephaestus cabin (they have automatons) have normal horses. not pegasi. Percy actually specifically identifies the Apollo chariot’s horses by breed which is very funny to me because Of Course He Would but like. We never see CHB have normal horses at any other point in time? Where did they get the horses?

hiii uhh im not sure if you are take requests rn and I don’t wanna seem like rude or anything but could u draw kokichi and makoto like interacting??? idk but it would be cool to see them meet or something lol

(post v3 and they're somehow all alive in the real world or something idk au but imagine if Makoto's secret was actually legit and the whole Danganronpa obsessed world just knows about it now and it never really dawned on him? that'd be messed up.)

ON THE SUBJECT OF A MARCH 1ST UPDATE LIVESTREAM.

so due to newly-employed circumstances, i most likely won't be able to stream my exploration of the update until the Sunday after it drops - March 3rd, likely around 10 am pst.

im not gonna ask anyone to wait because that's unreasonable and absurd, However! I am curious:

Want to go and see SKZ on tour so bad but from what I’ve been seeing on TikTok about the Australia and Singapore ticket sales is that it’s gonna be a bloodbath regarding getting tickets for when they come to the US
