also, I can’t believe I’m saying this and I hope this doesn’t have to be said

but in light of several of my fic getting scraped for AI training on my ao3, pls do not put my x reader fics into AI to expand them, continue them, program a chat bot, what have you

you will never have my permission to do so, I will never give it so don’t ask, be a proper writer and get high like the rest of us (that is a joke, don’t do drugs kids)

(heavy on the chatbot—I don’t want my fic to be the basis of a character on C.ai; i don’t care to discuss the fandom ethics of chatbots, I just don’t want my fics in generative ai, thanks)

I've been seeing a lot of posts on here lately about "seeing trans people in the wild" and I just wanted to clear something up real quick.

The ONLY way to tell if someone is trans is if they tell you.

"Oh but their voice was too high/low" Okay and? What makes it too high or low?

"Oh but their body was shaped a certain way" Okay and? That doesn't mean anything and is frankly fatphobic and ableist

There is NO WAY to tell if someone is trans except for them telling you outright.

I am so tired of this.

• Fidgeting and stuttering do NOT always indicate that someone is nervous.

• Avoiding eye contact does NOT always mean someone is lying.

• Having a hard time focusing does NOT always mean someone is lazy.

• Carrying around a stuffed animal or blanket does NOT make someone childish.

• Poor motor skills is NOT a direct indication of intelligence.

Not everyone fits into your box. Deal with it.

how are you going to post about protecting trans rights while funneling money to the pockets of the woman who directly helped fund the dismantling of trans rights in the UK. you don't actually support trans people, you can't even prioritize their very real lives over a shitty fictional franchise

First off, I have not given that woman any of my money since I first bought the books 20+ years ago. I never watched the movies, I have no intention of supporting the tv reboot, I have never bought any merch or gone to the theme park(s?). For all intents and purposes, I have been a giant mooch for the past 22 years, since I started reading HP fanfic.

Second off, I support trans people. In part because I fall under that umbrella (nonbinary), but mainly because they're fellow human beings. I want them to live and thrive and have the best lives possible. I donate to LGBTQ+ charities when I can afford to, I support my local queer organization, I am trying to do the work when and how I can. Do you do anything beyond sending anonymous hate online? I hope so.

I shouldn't have to answer to you, whoever you are, but I'm taking this opportunity to make my stance clear.

I do not support JKR nor any of her views. (By the way, she'd also hate me for being ace, apparently. New vileness every day from her, how delightful.) I have wrestled with writing and perpetuating affection for a series she created -- a series which has more than its share of problematic aspects in many regards, even beyond the author's attacks on trans women (and trans and queer people in general).

And everyone is welcome to handle that internal debate for themselves however they like -- I can completely understand wanting to wash your hands of it. But it brings me joy to play in this sandbox and make it hella queer, and work through and detangle the cruelty and hatred that are built into the fibre of the books by the author. I seek to uphold the message that the author forgot: That love can be a saving force. A truly astounding (to me) number of people have commented on my ace fics to say they felt seen and hopeful. I did that with one of my silly HP stories.

And through my interactions with the HP fandom, I have found the most wonderful group of friends -- many of whom fall under the LGBT+ umbrella -- and feel accepted and whole for what might be the first time in my life.

I'm not going to give that up because my activism and attitudes don't match yours. I'll just do the best I can.

mfs be like "I can handle your disorders" until your disorders disorder disorderly

subscribing to a fic isn’t enough I need the author to blast a bat signal into the night sky whenever they update

happy autism awareness month!! to all the fellow afab autistics out there who didn't get diagnosed until later in life and are still denied needed accommodations/accessibility because some people still believe "afab people can't have autism",, I see you and you are incredibly valid and I hope you have a wonderful day 🫶
