One really weird thing transphobic cis women will say is something to the effect of “I was a tomboy, thank god it was before the transgender craze. They would made me transition.” Like, probably not, girl. As you are a cis woman who has never communicated any form of gender dysphoria. It makes it really obvious that they think being transgender is just conforming to different gender roles. There is an ocean between a little girl who likes traditionally masculine fashion and has traditionally masculine interests and a child that is transgender. They are not a slippery slope. They don’t push you down the slide of transgenderism if you cut your hair short when you’re 12.

There are so many trans men who were never tomboys, who were the picture of the ‘perfect little girl’ and genuinely enjoyed traditionally feminine hobbies and expressing themselves in ways associated with femininity. It confuses and angers cis people when they come out as trans because they only see gender as a role to perform and not an identity. If you’re truly a woman, you’re generally not susceptible to randomly turning into a man. If you’re truly a man, you’re generally not susceptible to randomly turning into a woman.

I spent a whole evening recently reading about medieval underwear because I have a scene in which it’s expedient for one character to be undressed (so that he can’t simply walk out of the scene) but he can’t be naked because that would make him TOO vulnerable/the actions of the other character too unsympathetic. So I was like well ok it’s also very funny if by “underwear you can’t be seen in public in” is literally clothes neck to toe. So he’s in a shirt and hose. But then I had to figure out when they started putting a crotch in men’s hose. The answer varies and I’m not trying to be sexy (they are teenagers) so I made the executive decision that in Fantasy Pragthuania hose are tights. This is necessary also because later he does a cartwheel wearing a borrowed skirt over whatever his underwear were. In comparison to these pants logistics it took me about ten minutes to make a major plot decision

Also, by the way, they HAD invented linen undershorts in the early Middle Ages, but then people stopped wearing them. For hundreds of years. While wearing skintight leather next to the balls

I’m not a classicist, but I suspect one of the reasons so many of the Greek gods are portrayed so unflatteringly was less because they were seen as villains than because they represented their domains.  Of course Zeus sometimes misuses his power, that’s what a king does.  Of course Artemis’s wrath is wild and painful, that’s what nature can be.  Of course Hades snatched away a young girl from her mother’s arms, that’s what death does.  This is one of the reasons callout posts for some gods comparing them negatively to ‘nicer’ gods are kind of missing the point.

I love the x-men so much because that's just what leftist infighting is like! that's literally all it is! xavier is a sellout and they all hate him but he's the only one with any money. everyone complains about "they keep switching sides and dating each other it's so fucking confusing" like my dudes have you never been a part of any socialist organisation, ever. then people will go "magneto is so strong how has he not killed a bunch of teenagers" HE DOESN'T WANT TO KILL THEM! this started in a goddam basement over coffee he does not want to hurt them he just wants them to shut up and listen and will fling cars to do so
