some of my fandom friends care A LOT about celebrity morality and keep casually dragging a few different zionist actors in really unserious ways that makes all of their opinions feel like fandom wank rather than actual political stances. they often default to calling their hated celebs ugly, and it feels so shitty to see all these jewish actors mocked for having frizzy hair and big noses. it gets even weirder because they’ve decided that white eurocentric beauty standards are to blame for the actors still having fans, as if that's not the playbook that invented all the insults that they're quoting
I’ve mentioned how one of the actors they hate most looks a lot like my family and they just joked "condolences to your family’s looks"
Ok first of all. I'm so sorry your friends are assholes, but they are. Making fun of people for their appearance is never ok, and especially not for features related to their race or ethnicity.
Second of all, I don't care if people disagree with me, but I will scream this loud and clear. STEREOTYPICAL JEWISH FEATURE ARE BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, HOT, ADORABLE. BIG NOSES, FRIZZY HAIR, WHATEVER, ALL BEAUTIFUL.
(Jewish people who don't have these "stereotypical" traits are beautiful too btw, obviously)
Ok so today I was on the bus with another trans guy and we were talking about how hard it is to get testosterone. The waiting lists, the price, all the doctors you have to go to, that kind of stuff. Except, we were calling it ’T’, like you do when you’re both closeted and in public.
Then suddenly the elderly lady sitting behind us was like ‘young men, either I’m going crazy or you both have never heard of supermarkets, they have shelves full of tea there! Do you need directions to one?’
To which my buddy starts to explain, because why not. ‘Well you see, we’re both trans, and… ’
The lady didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. ‘Oh no, I don’t mind that at all! Now do you want to know how to get to a place that sells tea? I’m actually heading there right now!’
We let her take us to the supermarket. We let her show us, excitedly, where the tea was. We both bought loads.
