what do you mean youre technically a detransitioner cause of terf bullshit?
it's a v long story but i detransitioned for a couple of years when i was 16/17, for multiple reasons but mostly because i fell into the blaire white/kalvin garrah chamber of "you have to be This way to be trans otherwise you're not real".
i was already Deeply insecure about myself and my 'passing' and i was led to believe that i couldn't want to wear makeup or skirts, and i couldn't choose not to have bottom surgery, and i couldn't do anything but bind for 12+ hours a day to the point that my ribcage is still misshapen. basically i thought that if i wasn't suffering enough doing 'feminine' things, i couldn't really be trans, so i should just go back to being a girl and suck it up.
the terf bullshit is because i'd seen a lot of terfs/detransitioners talking about the 'dangers' of testosterone and how it would turn me into a horrible ugly evil monster and how there was nothing worse than wanting to be a man. which combined with 'you need to fully medically transition to be valid at all' creates some very dangerous and upsetting feelings to cope with.
it also came from trying really hard to put myself in a little box before i realised that my sexuality/gender are very fluid and it's FINE for me not to have a label and just do whatever i want. when i was 19 or so i went back to using they/them (and eventually he/him) and changed my name again because even though i like doing 'feminine' things, i don't want to be seen as a woman.
tldr: i was conditioned by transphobic/terf rhetorics to think that i was being trans the 'wrong' way so i couldn't be trans at all, so i believed i must actually be a girl if i still wanted to do 'feminine' things. nowadays i am a transmasc who does feminine things because i don't give two shits about what any transmed prick thinks of me anymore.
svt really need to bring back songs where they just throw a bunch of members into the recording studio to create impromptu units again, bc like. it's so funny. like, 'hello' has dk, mingyu and junhui, and what unit is that? the 97 line but they replaced minghao with jun? and 'fronting' is cheol, wonwoo, mingyu, vernon, hoshi, and woozi. leader line + the rest of the hhu anyone?? and 'space', which is hhu + dk?? do they just like adding one vocalist to the hhu and going ok cool guys have fun now? and 'still lonely', 'drift away', 'flower'.... which all have the most random members and are absolute bangers, btw. unit songs r great, age line songs r underappreciated, but nothing tops the random grouping of members tbh
“Thap, why didn't you tell me you were close? I could've invited him over for food. We're not that close. We're just classmates."
MY LOVE MIX-UP! (2024) ep. 03.
Very considerate of the Mountain Goats to wait until the day after I handed in my degree to release their new album so I can dedicate all my time to going insane about it. Quick painting while listening through for the first time.
Hi! I'm working on a large stats project about the colour coding of superheros in a/b/o fics, and someone pointed me in the direction of BL as a possible similarity. You've written a Iot of cool stuff about BL symbolisms before, so I thought I'd reach out in case you have any insight.
I admit, I know next to nothing about BL, and while I do know the terms seme/uke have gone out of fashion, have you noticed any particular colour coding of characters in similar dynamics? In superhero a/b/o, for example, those in yellow, orange, or metalics are more likely to be alphas, where as those in brown, purple, and pink, are more likely to be omegas.
No pressure to reply, but if you have any thoughts (or know where to find some), I'd love to hear it!
Hi!
While I love data and analysis, I am not the person to come to for colour coding dynamics. You want @respectthepetty, BL Tumblr's premier colour coding expert and the true master when it comes to anything colour related.
