#im tired of trans people dying

[glacierbash]

thinking about that one post about "he's a girl to me" or whatever. and that has me thinking about heavensward so much. and also stormblood! kinda just ffxiv in general but I feel the later expansions have this issue less but ESPECIALLY like. estinien, aymeric, and zenos when compared to the actual women in the expansion. it feels to me like the women of the expansion are by and far overlooked by people for the sake of the men and that general "he's so girl to me" contributes to it. Like there ARE women right there you know. like there are very very very good women just a few feet to the left. you can talk about how girlie estinien is to you but like. ysayle is right there. you can talk about how babygirl zenos is but also. there's fordola. you know that right. like you can enjoy the women too. it's ok.

and ofc genuine actual transfem headcanons are SO fucking good. I love them so much. keep going. But like that post has said, when it's only men in the fandom being treated as "he's so girl" (AND NEVER WOMAN!!!! ALWAYS GIRL!!!!!) it gets really really fucking tiring.

i love estinien! I really like Zenos! I get it! And if they are your favorite characters and you want specifically content about them and to make content specifically about them that is FINE!! but also, holy shit is it exhausting when it's like 99% about them and not a single glimpse towards the women of the story. yeah ffxiv's writing has a huuuuuuge fucking issue with women. and also.

Love being trans but I'm so tired of "this is my friend but should I correct them about this bc it's transphobic or not risk being transphobed at?"

Cis people have to do better bc I am so tired of explaining things that are obvious to literally any trans person but cis people can't grasp the concept of

fucking thank you for mentioning that black and brown and indigenous bloggers (esp trans women) on this website have been nuked since 2016 and nobody gave a shit. this website has been racist and transmisogynistic for years and 99% of the ""community"" on here didn't give a fuck until now.

an indigenous child is dead. transfem bloggers are harassed. nobody cares about that. the white trans community on this site cares about funny jokes and infighting instead of protecting us. avery deserves better. nex deserved better. children are being murdered and people have decided to strip every ounce of racial and transmisogynistic intent from the current wave of violence in favor of jokes.

when do we get to be a part of our own communities? when do we get the support and protection and righteous anger from other trans people? im so fucking tired.

honestly? ive been talking about this stuff for years, and the only reason it got attention is because of what happened to rita being so public, those posts never got the attention they should've and that doesnt surprise me in the slightest.

we arent a part of this "community", we wouldnt be trampled on and forgotten if we were actually important. and whenever we make our own spaces they take that over too. it doesnt matter what happens to us in the process. i hate the performative bullshit i hate the jokes i hate the ignorance i hate that theres nothing left for us.

the only times we're fucking noticed is when somebody murders us and EVEN THEN thats giving too much credit. white people get to joke about this shit while we have to live every day accepting that we'll be left behind. with no way of finding others like us to even feel just a smidgen of comfort. you look at the tag for black trans women before this photomatt bs and theres nothing but our murders. you cant even find shit about all the poc getting banned from this site because nobody cared to document anything let alone Help us.

im really fucking tired of seeing the 'support black trans women!' posts around here. you dont support us when we look you in the eye and Beg. when i got kicked out last year and made a post about it NOBODY batted an eye until rita and afew other popular white transfems reblogged it. and im the lucky one. people would rather be upset at the hammer car than us dying in the streets. i dont even know how to type this all out, just thinking about this makes me furious. i spent the early years of my transition hearing nothing but black trans girls getting murdered in their cars for $100. thats how worth our lives are in this "community". we cant even get that much in donations.

im tired too hun, im really fucking tired

[crowsareverytired]

im tired of cis people, everytime i talk to a cis person about the trans legislation they are just so calm and i want to scream. people are dying, and you dont even react? you dont even care? how? how the fuck can you do that? anyways fuck my psychologist cuz she said my mom saying "the anti trans legislations arent a big deal" wasnt personal and i shouldnt take it personally but how can i not!!!!!! it is literally about my life and so many others! how can i not take that personally? fucking how?

[munamania]

great glad i could be part of the problem for once. let’s wrap it up gang. in all reality i refuse to do a full rant and waste my time on such a stupid fucking issue but like i am tired. is anyone else tired. i and the people you’re pretty directly talking to (online lesbians, unless i’m really misunderstanding the target audience here, but regardless now i am just gonna rant abt the current online culture lmfao) never said u should be ashamed. i’m sure there are assholes u run into that try to gatekeep pride (maybe? lmfao but seems less and less likely given the majority of the community is bi) but can we talk abt how online bisexuals have created this idea that gay people (and again it’s usually lesbians that bear the brunt of these accusations) are like oppressing them when they engage with their hetero attraction (don’t start with me. i am not saying what some people are dying to say i am and it’s a stupid pedantic argument) when that simply isn’t the case. yeah your dyke friends might be honest with you if your boyfriend is acting like an asshole but that doesn’t mean we think your attraction to men is like aw no invalid yucky gross. and if a young lesbian is saying that stuff like i’m sorry but it’s probably on account of she’s like 15 and trying to work past years of comphet and that’s not about you. and more often than not. as in roughly 100% of the time. it’s bi girls that have gone Ohhhh ew ugh sorry i wish i was just attracted to women women r so hot omg i want them to step on me etc. and i’m just like. Girl ok… now keep swiping on ur entirely guy filled tinder like whatever… and i swear it’s just the presence of a lesbian that brings that on like i can swear i try to be a good sport when y’all r going on about dating men im not incapable of like doing that. now on here yeah im a hater bitch bc it’s my little safe space and i don’t feel like talking about men most of the time. but genuinely. GENUINELY. i am shaking you by the fucking shoulders rn. do you think this is the most important issue re gender that we’re facing rn? i don’t think we’ll ever move forward with progressing trans rights and just like feminism 101 womens rights if you people insist we constantly talk about your feelings about your attraction. go to therapy and get a fucking grip

[imslowlydisintegrating]

bro omfg im so tired of ppl yapping at me bc im genderfluid and still identify as a lesbian stfu oh my godddd don’t you have smth better to do w ur time

jesus christ

we have actual problems on our hands, trans and queer people are actively DYING and you’re worried about ME? get ur mind right boo and refocus ur damn priorities in this community 😭

[nightfallsystem]

Hey, I’m a transgender adult who, despite a lifetime of dysphoria and self-hatred, didn’t realise I wasn’t cis until I was in my late twenties, and then stayed in the closet for another eight years because what if I lost my husband, what if I lost my friends, what if I lost my job, what if someone threw acid in my face…

I had a mental breakdown because it was all too much but I’m still here now just a few months from my 38th birthday. My (formerly cishet) husband has stayed with me every step of the way, he tells people he’s in love with my soul so it doesn’t matter what I look like or call myself, and that two people who love each other transcends gender or labels. He proudly calls me his husband now and would defend me with his dying breath.

My family have welcomed me with open arms, my brothers just laughed and said I had always been the most macho sibling anyway, my Mum marches in her local Pride parade and knits me trans flag sweaters.

My friends say they love me even more now because I’m really me and I’m happy all the time, they don’t have to worry about me anymore and that watching me blossom and thrive has been a beautiful experience.

My work added gender neutral bathrooms and fought with HR to allow me to change my name before I had the official documentation. I work with children with learning disabilities and they have adjusted to my new name and pronouns in a way which is truly humbling, and will defend the fact that I’m ‘not a girl’ to anyone who suggests otherwise. A six year old told me that he’s going to be “a big strong man” like me one day- I’m 5’3 and weigh 130lbs. Two kids at school have come out as queer.

I don’t pass as anything, at all, but nobody who knows me has ever used the wrong pronouns or name, and has happily included me as one of the boys in everything I do- including letting me use the mens changing rooms on swimming days and inviting me to pool night and beers. Coming out has shown me that people are okay, people will care and will stand up for you.

I don’t want to take hormones for various reasons but my husband and my mum are helping me save for top surgery, which I should be able to access in a few years, and I have a strong network of supportive queer friends.

Things are tough, life fucking sucks right now, it feels like the whole world is going to shit. But if you survive, if you persevere, if you live life as your authentic self, the only thing you’ll lose is stuff that didn’t benefit you anyway. It’s cheesy to say “it gets better” but I promise, it does. Fighting all the time is hard, but it’s worth it, and you will get to a place where the suffering seems far away.

I am ALWAYS here if you need someone to talk to, feel free to message me any time. Hang in there, friend, I’m rooting for you even if it feels like no-one else is.

Love,

Arthur Xx

THIS MEANS A LOT TO ME. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH. i love hearing your story it really gives me hope,, id say more but im really tired,, but THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

[howdyfriend]

Celeste LORE?? PREHAPS?? ANYA ?? A N DY ?? FUVKINB- EXPLODES

i am free from the road once more so i will answer ur ask now :)

Im going to talk about Anya and Celeste’s world itself first though so i can get into more character specific stuff.

Since they are super cool supervillains, they gotta have powers right? In this world, magic mostly genetic. There are alternative magics, think like potions and shit, but its weaker and more finicky. The most worthwhile magic is passed down from parent to child. It works like regular genetics, some powers are more dominant than others, generations can be skipped, etc. Anya got her powers from some distant aunt, and most of her close family does not have magic, save her cousin. Celeste’s family have had very strong, dominant magic, so she and her siblings all have their fathers magic. Magic is influenced by where and how your ancestors lived, Anya’s ancestors lived near water, so she has water magic. Celeste’s ancestors were the ones who would keep night watch, and as such has darkness and shadowy related powers. Not everyone has powers, and over time the number and diversity of people who can use magic has gone down.

Anyways Character Time Yay

Celeste grew up super rich. Like uber mega crazy rich. Not Jeff bezos kinda rich but really fucking rich. Eldest of four children, she grew up expected to bear the family name, business, and riches when her father dies. As such, a lot of pressure was put on to her. Everything was chosen for her. Every extracurricular, every class, even her outfits were planned ahead. She was allowed no individuality. She was the heir, designed to be a carbon copy of her father.

You could imagine how terrified she was when she realized she was trans.

She knew she couldn’t come out. While she didn’t like how she lived, it was better than the streets. So, for years, she sat on this revelation, growing more and more uncomfortable and angry at everything. She would reach out for support and be dismissed, restrictions for her behaviour were getting tighter, and the dysphoria was becoming overwhelming. That is until she saw the perfect chance to end all of this.

Her father had just wrote his will. One day, she went into his office to ask a question and saw it lying out on his desk. He had named her both sole heir and power of attorney to his estate, and knew that this was her chance to get out of all of this. Despite her increasing restrictions on her movement, she was able to secure enough cash from around the house to hire a hitman. No paper trail was left behind. Everyone in that house died that day, and she inherited huge money.

Anya grew up in a standard, suburban home. White picket fences, oak trees with tire swings, garages with suvs and minivans. Her childhood was ordinary at best. Despite a lack of expertise in the area, her parents managed her magic well and her abilities developed nicely. It wasn’t until middle school until things went wrong. She had been pestered by a small pack of bullies for a while, but had recently started escalating their behaviour. So she fought back. Small things at first, directing tap water back at their faces, causing clouds to pour rain down onto them, innocuous things like that. Over the course of middle school and high school she was starting to get fed up with the increasingly agressive attacks from her bullies, when it all came to a head on the night of her graduation when they tried to drop the stage lights onto her. She was a theatre kid though, and was able to get out of the way fast enough to not get crushed. In a fit of rage for ruining her moment in the spotlight (which they just tried to kill her with) she lost control over her powers, sucking every ounce of water out of their bodies. Feeling the adrenaline rush, she let herself go completely, savouring the power she felt. Eventually though, she stopped, and realizing the damage she caused, ran away.

She wasnt going to let up on that feeling of power though. Not a chance. After honing her newfound power on the local wildlife, she packed her bags and started life anew in a different country, becoming a hit man. One night she was approached by a young man seeking to inherit his fathers wealth. He knew he would be caught if he was the killer, so saught out her instead. He asked to frame it as a home invasion, as not only would he pay her in cash but in whatever valueables she wanted from his home. She took the deal, and got to work. After everything was said and done, they parted ways, Anya using her extra wealth to fund a far more lavish lifestyle. This lifestyle lead her to a house party, where she would meet an awfully familiar face.

Anyways they get together and decide “fuck it lets just cause problems on purpose” and become supervillains the end.

and for andy i have something planned for him ;) its fun dont worry :)

[chaoticgremlinbrainspace]

I am grabbing fistfuls of dirt screaming, I am once again thinking about Dick Grayson as gender queer and how cool it would be to me

like hear me out guys  gender identity and expression are completely different things and I just think it would be so cool and epic if his gender was a huge confusing blob of things ok? like just for fun because I also know lots of people see him as just cis or maybe even a trans guy and those are completely valid! there are multiple ways to explore and enjoy a character! and its great! im glad people like him! im just really insane about him and gender, because my own gender is a fucking mess of a thing and hes a mess and god knows I love mashing things together. so like a Dick Grayson who's never felt quite right in his skin, like somethings are just off, while other things he wouldn't change is funky for me. maybe he tries on some more traditionally feminine clothes and has an oh shit that was actually super fun to wear and I liked it, or he wears some traditionally masculine clothes and feels cool in it, maybe he tries on either and feels off, maybe hes too tired to dress up but he loves bright and pattern filled clothing, maybe he tries on jewelry, and loves how it makes him feel pretty, maybe he goes out with makeup on and likes the way it makes him feel, maybe he tires different styles of makeup ranging from basic to showy, maybe he grows out his hair to try different styles, maybe he cuts his hair when he gets bored, maybe he tries dying it, maybe he doesn't get to do any of this maybe he only gets to think about it, maybe he doesn't get time to explore that maybe he can only think about it in passing when he passes by billboards and ads in the street, maybe he doesn't have any language to describe how he feels about his own body and the way he feels, maybe he doesn't need it, maybe hes longing for something to use, maybe he looks at himself in the mirror and sees all the things that dont fit right, maybe hes sees all the things that do, maybe it just feels like another thing thats wrong with him, maybe he feels like its normal and everyone feels this way, maybe he cant bring himself to look at certain areas of himself maybe he’s fine with them, maybe he wears baggy clothes to just hide from it for a bit, maybe he wears revealing things to show off, what if his gender was like a colorful mash of things, gestures, clothes, words, something just so full and alive trying to name it in all its being is too hard, its too vast. Dick Grayson being gender queer would be so neat to me, because like it gives me so many thoughts, how would he feel how would he react what even would he be? so many different things to explore with this, that and gender itself to me is like an overflowing thing made of a person its loud and colorful regardless of the identity because its part of a person and people are this loud and colorful tapestries of being. I got a bit artsy there but like it's so hard for me to explain why I like dick being gender queer so much, outside of being apart of the gender queer ball park myself. I guess it's part of the reason and maybe I want to explore him as a character and my mind usually jumps to queer shit gfbdhisnjefouf. anyway thanks for reading my insane dick rambles

[disabled-cat-in-a-cowboy-hat]

People seem to have finally gotten the message about how desperate and dire my need for that fucking post is to get traction. Like. I should not have to scream holler and threaten. I deserve medicine, food, clothes, and comfort.

It is not my fault that I am a magnet for fucking abusive shitty predators and that every 5 or so years everyone I love decides OOUGHHG U BROKEN IM TIRED OF HONORING MY PROMSIES SAND OBLIGATIONS OUGH and that my parents are useless abusive shitheads who ruined my life in 2005 and that this is America and that as a disabled trans person I am literally just laying around unable to get out of bed waiting to die because this country and the human race is a fucking disease.

ABleism in of itself is a fucking cancer and ableists should be extincted so we can move on as a species. You can start to make it up to me by doing literally anything to help my dying household. The fact that I no longer: Draw, Stream, Write, or have Kind Words on here should be a flashing neon sign that shits bad but just like my scummy exfriends you shitheads just decide OUGH FUN EASY EXCUSE TO DO NOTHING BC FAKE MORAL HIGH HORSE!!

Abuse survivors and people who are suffering owe you no smiles and no kind words. The world does not smile at me. People give me looks like I am smothered in shit because of my handicaps.

I cannot enter a public space without some snotty human-- regardless of skin tone :^)-- verbally abusing me. Shut the fuck up. I owe you nothing. The world owes me EVERYTHING.

Yes. I DO hear myself. It has taken me over 30 years of suffering and rage to reach this point. Heed me.

[littlewolf651]

I did not buy nor I want to play that wizard game. But let me tell you what happened to me today.

I have been helping with Turkey communication efforts to reestablish essential networks so people can coordinate better. Im part of a computer science volunteers team and we have known each other since the pandemic (we got together to help with BLM) This time we have worked non stop, taking turns only to eat and sleep naps till we finally got the main channels we were working on to hold themselves up. We were *tired*, but someone in our team had been trying to keep the morale up speaking about that game, because they have some experience in game dev so while we waited they would give their predictions and expectations about xyz mechanic. Thats not my area but it was refreshing to hear something that was not about the people dying.

When we finally made it, we said our goodbyes and went directly to sleep. I just woke up and saw the tag of the game on tumblr. I was expecting to read about people enjoying stupid animations or maybe the music, but what I have gathered is people sending each other to hell.

Look, fuck JKR, but playing a game made by hundreds of artists and programmers that made at least a decent job for what Im gathering, is not synonym with being a horrible person. And I say this because is more complicated than that, and is dangerous to simplify things so much. Is dangerous to use the same rhetoric of the person you go against. And is so dam exhausting to see people wasting energy in pitch and forks when real problems are right there.

Just be kind. Humans are stupid and like little stupid games. Millionaires are despicable but difficult to take down. We cant control most things, but at least we don’t have to make other people day difficult.

My apologies for writing this. I needed to get it out and your blog seemed more peaceful than most.

I don’t see how stating my opinion on this matter makes my blog less ‘peaceful’. I’m just making my stance on this clear. My tumblr isn’t made to cater to a specific fandom or aesthetic. I like, reblog, and post what I want. I understand wanting people to chill out about it. But a lot of people that are saying that are missing the point of the discourse.

Look, I love gaming. It’s my escape. I literally just finished playing Dishonored: Death of the Outsider and am about to play Subnautica Below Zero. Gaming is great.

However people from both the trans and Jewish communities have explicitly asked people not to condone and play this game, because it’s success ultimately just continues to hurt them in the long run.

If your want to ignore them and play it then go ahead! I’m not gonna stop you or condemn you for it. You don’t have to justify to me why people want to play it. If you wanna ignore the voices of other communities for the sake of your own enjoyment, then fine.

But there are hundreds if not thousands of other video games out there that you can play that don’t have this kind history of routinely hating on other communities.

Besides reviews for the game are pretty mid anyways. I’d rather go play Horizon 2 again.

Anyways, I don’t wanna talk about this anymore so here’s a picture of my cat to cheer people up. Ain’t he cute?

[mangohs]

Ok this is gonna be a chunky one folks

Feel no obligation to read this I'm just putting it out there, but I was thinking about how weird it is being trans and the fact that I'll be going to college soon. And in general how weirdly difficult it is for people to be trans in the real world like on all these application and scholarship sites they wanna know how many spots on the diversity bingo card you can cover but in reality it's just that and nothing ever acknowledges the fact that a lot of trans kids going into college are in bad places, be it mentally physically of financially. Like sure the college gets diversity points but also I'm dying on the inside because I KNOW I won't be able to afford top surgery because of tuition.

And there's the OTHER layer of the fact that I'm autistic but I can never get a government acknowledged diagnosis because of the ableism in the medical field meaning that getting on testosterone will be much harder so I can't get disability related financial aid.

And then there's the actual school. Even if you decide to brave it and go to college, there's no grantee you'll be safe. Like I'm lucky that I'm going to art school which means the majority of the populace will be trans, but what about all the other people who are going to general colleges and have to face discrimination and potential violence? Not to mention the slew of personal problems that inherently comes with being trans. Problems that because of the financial strain from college can't be dealt with. Oh god wait I just realized. Dorms. Once again I'm lucky because the school I'll most likely go to has trans specific housing but what about regular schools??? Like what happens if someone gets roomed with a cis person who is rude to them or preys on them or whatever else. And don't even THINK bathrooms are going to be easy. If someone came from a poor family and they didn't have money to transition, using locker rooms, bathrooms or showers would be nightmarish because of the stares. And with the amount of SA and gender based violence being reported in college I can only imagine the statistics are worse for trans folk. Anyways yeah have a lovely day yall im tired <3
