#strange fucking gender

[verdantvain]

My therapist just told me, "If gender If was a flavour, you'd be a kitkat sold in Japan." What does that mean for me?

being ace means i don't get giggly or horny about omegaverse aka abo but instead become painfully obsessed with details in anatomy and world building

Sometimes i remember a comics moment i randomly came across somewhere, where Sam Wilson mentiones a musical and Steve Rodgers says he doesn't like musicals, to whitch Sam goes "Guess that means you really are straight" and even tho i don't care about Cap America or the Avengers, the moment stuck in me for that quote by Sam. And like....Sci, any ideas if straight men actually don't like musicals or is that bullshit?

actually i think i know more gay men who hate musicals than i know straight men who hate musicals. i've had a drag queen stop me point blank when i was about to sing a barbra streisand song, and i know so many gays who pointedly hate abba. so based on my experience i think the inverse is true. most of the straight men i know are kind of impartial about musicals, but gay men? hate.

my theory is that a lot of gay men don't want to fall into stereotypes, maybe. but thaaaaat's just a theory! a gay theory.

"Wow!"

*it's of a toxic couple back when they were together/them being bitter exes in present time*

"Oh, these two aren't healthy in any way, shape, or form"

i been thinkin lately about why a lot of people i’ve been with end up coming out as nonbinary or are nonbinary and sometimes people are like what’s your gender and i’m like [shrug] i’m a woman, whatever that means :) cause it’s all generally defined by my experience and oppression opposite those who are classified as men, whatever that means. and i tend to have great big feelings for nonbinary people because we always feel so incredibly safe with one another. like they are the nearest and dearest to my heart for some reason even before i know they are or they know they are. anyways all this to say, i don’t really care what you call me or whatever cause gender is a construct and i’m not bob the builder

the seperation of lesbians and gay men is a travesty. "why are there so many historic gay bars and only like a handful of lesbian bars in the whole country" why are being gay and lesbian not the same thing in this context. you dont need to fuck everyone at the bar and it is a problem that needs to be addressed if these spaces arent mutually hospitable. and this applies to most gay/lesbian spaces imo

Just my personal opinion but I think that if you are a Jew and also a TERF/rad-fem/transphobe then you're a fucking disgrace and a shame unto us all.

told my mom i'm developing a widow's peak and she laughed, saying "yeah, it runs in the family among the men."

the reason why jadekat femslash is so important is because yuri is both implimented in both jade and karkat. karkat is a yuri boy and jade is a yuri girl. jadekat yuri is real to me ..

Surprised actually there’s no body-swap fic in PB fandom.

[beast-feast]

Just hate-scrolled hella so uhhhhh let me do smthn really funny 😊

TERFS die challenge trans people be realer than you ever were. Dare I even go out on a limb and say that I would kill every TERF I see by slingshotting stones at them. You're just jealous that trans women are exponentially better women than you could ever be 🖕.

Now look at my funny cat.

idk using he/him for dr loboto just registers as misgendering to me. Idk. I just cant do it. i dont have the heart. i dont have it in me. like its perfectly fine when other people do it but when i do it its like "Is this truly what she would have wanted..."

gets up on my little stage with my secret little four followers blog and turns off reblogs. i think that a lot of current mcyt/mcyt fandom rn would be defending anne rice literally suing fanfic writers who shipped her characters. creators do not have a say in fan works or fan spaces for a REASON. they dont get to say what we make just like we dont get to say what they make. if we dont like their work we can avoid it just like if they dont like ours they can avoid it- UNLESS. someone else. decides to shove it in their face. can you fucking imagine. youve got this one story trope that you absolutely hate or that makes you really uncomfortable and this one jackass keeps showing it off to you. and that is somehow the norm for some of these fandoms??? i have seen elder fans cringe away in HORROR at the concept of how involved mcyt creators are in their fanbases. i grew up writing fics plastered with "I DONT OWN THIS" disclaimers on a website that, straight up, Did Not Allow You to post about certain works by certain authors. if an author didn't want you to create any fanwork, you Were Not Allowed. Doesn't that sound familiar. stories are built on top of other stories on top of other stories on top of other stories. it doesn't matter if someone creates something that grosses you out- all those authors who were disgusted by the queer shipping of their characters were ABSOLUTELY grossed out. the point isn't protecting the creators from others' creations the point is to take inspiration from something you love and to MAKE !!

gender's funny right?

like. as i get older and reflect i think about things. like how i never liked purses. i had a wallet for as long as i could remember. then it was a pocket knife acting as a money/card clip. then back to a wallet, but never a purse. because fuck purses.

i didn't wear my first bra until i was in my 20s. now i got little tits, so it was okay, but i just never liked them.

i wore "boy" clothes because they were more comfortable. i ran around in chucks because i like them better than other options (and the punk phase never really passed).

and so long i thought i was just lazy. that putting on makeup, wearing "girl" clothes, wearing "girl" shoes, just took extra effort and i wasn't willing to do it.

now my family was awesome. no one ever treated me weird or told me i needed to do something different. i got the chucks i wanted for holidays and nice new wallets/pocket knives, etc. they embraced my insane love of all things flannel and plaid. when i wanted to fuck with my hair - only ever insane colors, I've always worn it really long - or get piercings or do whatever, so much support.

but if i had been in this generation versus the 90s/00s, i think i would have been so much more comfortable in my own skin because society was never as nice as my family. highschool was the fucking worst.

when i did my corporate america stint, i couldn't be normal me, i had to be girl!me. hair. makeup. heels. the hated purse. nails.

but also like, sometimes i totally love putting on the dress, and i have a closet full of super sexy heels (and I've got nice legs so that works too).

but as this time moves forward, i can see these parts of myself with so much less guilt. I'm not letting myself down, I'm not less than because i want to wear the things i like, but i can still choose the days to play dress up.

and i still totally feel like a girl, in so far as that i feel sexually feminine (but not at all straight because that's so not my bag - BAG JOKE), and it's nice to be able to be both. or not both but just me. I'm really happy about how the world is moving forward (for all the steps back it takes).

tl;dr i got sparked by a post about purses, and spilled my gender/identity stuff all over a random post. woo.

I still very loathe the Media Trope of ‘’cold genius man doesn’t feel emotions and never has relationships... UNTIL.. one random relatively bland Preddy Woman comes along and warps his entire personality and ability to think, his heart has grown and his seeming asexuality has evaporated, he is now Normal :)” or whatever like... AS a walking generic hermit archetype myself.. we would NOT act like that .... just let people be detached weirdos in peace, you cowards .. OR, don’t bother to write one in the first place if you find us too boring to exist realistically in our natural state lol.. pathetic
