"can I be [x gender] if I..." "can I still call myself [x term] if..." yes. yes. if you like the term then use it. do whatever you want forever. labels are just little words we use to categorize our infinitely complex existential experiences on this floating rock !! no two people who use the same label are going to experience it the same way and that's the beauty of it !! use "contradictory" labels, use labels that don't make sense to anyone, change your label every day or not at all, explore anything and everything, use no labels at all or every label under the sun, confuse people or correct them or let them assume things rather than explaining, I promise nothing other people think about your identity is worth your happiness !!
Love seeing dwarf chars with weird color eyes and/or glowy eyes because it just makes sense. Everybody does it for elves & puts so much emphasis on their night vision but forgets the race that lives in caves. Give dwarves weird eyes. Gn
Full on saying "sex based oppression isn't real, that's a radfem talking point" seems like way too much to me. Like, it IS real. Every single person who was assigned female at birth, or who is considered to be female bodied in any way (so, including eg trans fems who may be considered female bodied due to surgery, intersex people who were maybe assigned as female later on in life), is oppressed because of that. That's an inarguable fact.
But that doesn't mean every single person who was assigned male at birth oppresses every single person assigned female at birth through the axis of sex. Like, obviously trans people who were amab don't have more social privilege as a group than cis gender conforming women.
Ridonculous Race but Noah is friends with Owen part 7: It’s the little things.
Sorry this one’s kinda lame… I just watch this episode and get upset that we returned to status quo as if Ridonc and Roll meant nothing. The slightest of dynamic shifts would of been enough, as long as SOMETHING changed. It really is the little things sometimes

whatever, I'll say it again, to the white people here, that means all of you: being part of a minority doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with impunity and using the minority card (especially against poc and disabled people, along with other marginalized groups) to get away with shit is very obvious, it's not the sneaky move y'all seem to think it is.
