Lysander the Monstrous

Age: Somewhere in the realm of 600 (appears early 30s) Gender: Trans man (He/him) Location: Forgotten Hollow Sexuality: Gay Occupation: None (living off mysterious vampire money hoarded over the centuries)

Adrian Judith "AJ" Blum

Age: 24 Gender: Nonbinary (They/them) Location: From Henford-on-Bagley, living in San Myshuno Sexuality: Bisexual Occupation: Aspiring photographer, actual retail employee

Lysander has been kicking around a long time, and he's done all the vampire-y shit you can think of. He's led armies in wars long forgotten about; ruled lands that no longer exist; drained more people than you've met; been woman, man, both, neither and man again; fallen in love over and over - and, of course, outlived every last one. He learnt to compartmentalise, learnt to get used to grief - but what goes up must come down, and when all the loss built up in him, he holed away in his castle to do the most vampire-y shit of all: mope around like a big loser and think about death for a few decades.

But no more! Last year, Lysander found out about a fascinating new invention called "tele-vision" - and it gave him a new lease for life! Now, instead of gazing dramatically out of his windows for days at a time, Lysander could gaze instead at his fancy new television. In particular, he took an interest in Love Is Blind. When he realised, to his delight, that they were looking for contestants for their new season, he didn't hesitate. It singlehandedly pulled him out of his stupour, and he's been a new man since. He's dyed his hair, got a whole new personal style going on - all because he's ready to fall in love again, and this show is going to help him! No, he doesn't know what a midlife crisis is. Stop asking.

AJ would like to make it clear up front that they don't usually go in for this sort of thing. As far as they're concerned, this is a bourgeois exploitation of human emotion, all for the bottom line of a streaming company that only cares about people like AJ when it makes them money. They spent a month watching the show every night after work - ironically, of course - and, quite wine-drunk, signed up as a joke. That's all. And sure, they could have backed out by now. It would have been easy. But...

Okay, fine, so there is no "but". So they're a hypocrite. The truth is, moving out of their parents' house to San Myshuno has been harder than they thought. They told themselves they hated Henford-on-Bagley, hated its oppressive small-town sweetness, hated the inescapable green of it all. But now they're out of there, all they want is to hike through the woods again, look for birds, see familiar faces every day. San Myshuno feels so big, and they feel so small there. They can be as cynical as they like - it doesn't change that the city makes them unbelievably lonely. So maybe marriage is a patriarchal scam, and maybe this show is an exploitative performance of it. But maybe it'll be fun. Maybe it could be good for them to meet someone.

[ID: two images, the first of Lysander and the second of AJ. In the first, tinted pink, Lysander is floating on his back in a swimming pool, wearing floral-patterned swimming trunks. Superimposed on top of this are the words "Lysander the Monstrous" and "erratic, childish, adventurous" in pink, and two further screenshots of him - one on the left dancing in a hawaiian shirt with a banana pattern and trousers with a wavy blue and orange pattern and one on the right drinking a plasma jane in a black fishnet shirt under a red crop top that reads "bite me", and heart-shaped sunglasses. Lysander is a slightly chubby vampire with long wavy pink hair, a beard, and off-white skin. The second, tinted sepia, follows a similar structure. The background image is of AJ in a green jumper, grey fanny pack, and brown tartan trousers, crouching down to pet a brown rabbit in front of some overgrown ruins. The text is in green and reads "AJ Blum" and "loves outdoors, slob, art lover". In the left screenshot, AJ is jogging, wearing a green long-sleeved shirt and yellow dungarees. In the right, they are sitting in a red armchair, reading a book with a hammer and sickle symbol on the cover, wearing an open green dressing gown with a floral pattern and green trousers. They are a thin sim with a light brown mullet, an angular face, tanned white skin, and tattoos on their forearm, collarbone, stomach, and hand.]

- Grease is transmasc and bisexual, as a bonus he's also canonically a dad!

Tino will respond to any pronouns but if you ask him what ones he prefers he'll tell you to figure it out on your own

Eddy is aro/ace and cisgender. He doesn't really understand the concept of romantic love and doesn't feel sexual attraction. He's happy with just having really close friends!! :)

Alright so I’m really new to the more than one set of pronouns and actually accepting my gender crisis so someone help me out here, what the heck am I feeling right now? Is there a word for it?

Basically the closest thing I think I can describe it as is gender envy, but like, at myself?? I look in the mirror and I’m like “oh I look like a soft 15 year old boy today” and am really really happy, but then I get sad cuz everything about my look today is perfectly boy-y, but then I had to deal with my period and so every time I’m like “oh yay I look like a soft boy” my brain goes “but you’re not though. You’re really really close, but you never will be”

I guess I describe it as gender envy towards myself cuz everything is perfect except for that last bit?

Idk guys, what the heck is this? I’m trying to accept myself but now I’ve gotta deal with all these feelings that I was shoving away and it’s really difficult

#feelings are hard #I’ve never felt these feelings before #please I’m a baby non cis gender #idk what I’m doing or feeling #is there an equal term in this community for baby gay? #I’m just gonna stick with baby non cis gender for now #aj speaks #aj has a gender crisis #not mcyt #lgbt+ #I can’t figure out a label for myself either #I’m not the biggest fan of labels but it makes stuff so much easier #I really like being androgynous #am i nonbinary? #idk #couldn’t tell ya #aj vents

[eveningsandcoffeespoons]

a super queer-flagging person stopped me in the hall to say I looked “fierce” in my dress

which was. something. wow

#wow #some kind of feeling #aj has a real life #aj has queer feels #i believe there was a tag for my mild and ongoing presentation crisis #this is a gender feelings tag

Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5 Updated Headcanons

A long time ago, like at least a year but probably several, I made a list of gender and sexuality headcanons for the Battle Force 5 characters. I thought I’d update it.

For reference, my ships these days are:

Vert Wheeler/Zoomer Takazumi

Sherman Cortez/Agura Ibaden/Stanford Isaac Rhodes IV

AJ Dalton/Tezz Volitov

Spinner Cortez/Zemerik (short term, sex) then Spinner with a non-binary OC

Let’s get to it:

Vert is a bisexual cis man. He tends to prefer men, slightly, but has slept with a lot more women. He’s a bit of a slut and has been very fearful of relationships since a bad one in high school. He can and will sleep with anyone he can convince into his bed.

Zoom is a gay cis dude. He doesn’t give a shit about gender roles, he isn’t super concerned about keeping quiet, and he’s pretty cheerful about his experiences.

Stanford is a non-binary (he/they) queer person. He’s got a slight preference for women but he’s never been picky. He’s polyamorous and enjoys commitment. Likes queer as a blanket term and because its non-specific.

Sherman is a bisexual cis man. He’s not super into genders other than women, but he’s open, and he ends up falling for Stanford and Agura. He’s very quiet about it and speed runs a sexuality crisis over Stanford. He ends up rolling into polyamory because it works out.

Spinner is a queer trans dude. He doesn’t know his sexuality. He doesn’t really care. He’s given up. He’s queer. That’s all that matters. He bangs a robot (Zemerik) at one point. Not loud about his sexuality or his gender.

Agura is a cis woman who, as she puts it “is about as straight as you want her to be”. She typically prefers to call herself pan, but she’s also ID’d as bi, polysexual, and queer. She’s demiromantic. She’s never tried being polyamorous before but she likes it.

AJ is a mostly cis pansexual guy. He doesn’t really give a fuck about gender, though he’d probably call himself a demi-guy if he knew the term. He loves everyone. Has no real preference. Just loves love.

Tezz is a cis dude and he is both demi-romantic and demi-sexual. He doesn’t think he really likes anyone, but then he falls for AJ over the course of the war. He ends up really enjoying sexual intimacy.

Grace is bisexual and cis. Loves dates. Not big into slutting it up. Bit of a size queen.

Sage is the Sentient equivalent of a lesbian and has a wife (OC).

Zeke is a little old gay cis man. He’s got a husband (OC) and used to do drag in his younger years.

Zemerik liked Spinner for the boning.

Kalus also has a husband.

Alien Race Shit:

Sentients don’t really care about sexuality or gender.

Vandals are fine with sexuality but being a warLORD with a husband is considered better than being one with a wife. It’s like Old Ass Greece that way.

OCs

Corona is Sage’s wife.

Xunsu is Kalu’s black panther husband.

Sun Wuu is Grace’s future girlfriend who is trans and pan.

Noah is Zeke’s gay husband.

Kero is my red sentient OC who is nb and aro/ace.

Kyru is another OC you haven’t met yet who is also NB.

The most important LGBTQ movies, TV shows, music and books of 2018

Say it with us: Representation matters. As a wave of change rolls through the entertainment industry, it’s unveiling the thirst for different stories — and, just as important, different storytellers — to appear on our screens and pages. No longer are audiences content to hear from the same homogenous voices we’ve always heard from.

2018 has been a banner year for onscreen and on-page representation, with diversity spreading all across our favorite binge-worthy media. As we look ahead at the movies, TV shows, and books in store for the future, there are several LGBTQ-related titles worth highlighting.

June 19: The Great Believers, by Rebecca Makkai

Makkai’s ambitious third novel centers on the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and the long shadow it cast. The story begins in Boystown, Chicago, where the epidemic has hit the queer community and a group of friends gather to mourn one of their own. The story jumps back and forth in time between ’80s Chicago and present-day Paris, where the sister (and only surviving relative) of the dead man searches for her estranged daughter. The Great Believers is filled with grief, but it also embodies the heart of the community.

June 26: Confessions of the Fox, by Jordy Rosenberg

Rosenberg is one of the first trans fiction writers to be signed by a major publishing house, and his forthcoming tome is proudly queer. It’s technically about 18th-century thieves, but it reimagines myths and fantasies of the old days in a more representative way, delving into LGBTQ subcultures and defying gender norms. As Rosenberg told EW, he “wanted to make that form of intimacy open to everyone.”

June 29: The Indigo Girls, Indigo Girls Live With the University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra

As its title suggests, the legendary folk duo’s latest release was recorded with a college orchestra during a sold-out show in Boulder, Colorado, last year. It features 22 songs from their extensive catalog, such as “Galileo” and “Closer to Fine,” remixed with a little something special.

July 6: Years & Years, Palo Santo

Fronted by actor-singer Olly Alexander (of Skins fame), this U.K. band’s new album envisions a world where the minority is always the majority. Its lead single, “Sanctify,” was inspired by “I’m a Slave 4 U”-era Britney Spears. What more do you need to know?

July 24: I Can’t Date Jesus, by Michael Arceneaux

This debut essay collection — a meditation on Arceneaux’s life as a gay black author — is boisterously funny, melancholic, and at times devastating. Arceneaux is a frequent Essence and Complex contributor and has built up a huge following, thanks to his wry commentary on everything from race to sexuality to popular culture. Jesus touches on topics including his own coming-out story and how artists like Janet Jackson and Lil’ Kim helped to shape his identity.

July 27: Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood

Rubbing elbows with (and the nether regions of) cinema royals like Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn at his same-sex brothel made marine-turned-celebrity pimp Scotty Bowers the unlikely keeper of closeted Hollywood’s secrets. But when documentarian Matt Tyrnauer peeled back the 94-year-old’s layers, he found a complicated figure whose glamorous past conflicts with his current hoarder lifestyle — a psychological anomaly begging for screen time too.

Aug. 3: The Miseducation of Cameron Post

This film, a recent Sundance breakout, stars Chloë Grace Moretz as a teenager at a gay conversion camp. It takes place in the early ’90s, and kicks off with the titular Cameron making out with the prom queen in the back of her boyfriend’s car. Her guardians send her to a “camp” called God’s Promise, which is exactly as disturbing as it sounds.

Aug. 31: Troye Sivan, Bloom

Only a handful of performers have parlayed YouTube stardom into successful pop music careers, and 23-year-old Sivan is one of them. His anticipated second LP includes the dance-heavy hit “My My My!”

Sept. 14: Lizzie

In this bodice-ripping cinematic take on the legendary maybe-murderess Lizzie Borden (who, if you’ll recall, was famous for being the prime suspect in the killing of her father and stepmother), Chloë Sevigny and Kristen Stewart fall axe-identally in love, with all the bloody consequences one would expect.

Sept. 28: Boy Erased

Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman, and Russell Crowe star in this film, based on the true story of a young gay man whose parents send him to conversion therapy. It’s based on the memoir by Garrard Conley.

Oct. 5: Studio 54

This definitive documentary recounts the rise, reign, and fall of ’70s New York’s most hedonistic hot spot.

Nov. 2: Bohemian Rhapsody

Rami Malek transforms into Queen’s Freddie Mercury in a film that charts his life in music — and his legacy as a queer icon.

Date TBD: Him or Her, HBO

Issa Rae (the mastermind behind Insecure) and former Daily Show writer Travon Free are developing this comedy, which chronicles the dating life of a bisexual black man.

Date TBD: AJ and the Queen, Netflix

Written by RuPaul and former Sex and the City showrunner Michael Patrick King, this comedy just got a 10-episode order. It stars the Drag Race host as a drag queen traveling across the country from club to club with a recently orphaned 11-year-old stowaway.

Date TBD: Thom and Carson Project, Bravo

Original Queer Eye alums Carson Kressley and Thom Filicia have reunited for this upcoming reality series in which they whip up impressive and affordable redesigns for their clients.

Clown World: Biden Taps Transgender “Woman” as Assistant Secretary of Health

Well, we’re not even to February and we already have one of the most head-scratching, laugh-until-you-cry headlines of the year. We grew discouraged with the state of our nation’s average intelligence when we learned that a bunch of people on Twitter thought that one of the Capitol rioters was named “Via Getty,” and this is just further confirmation that something is deeply wrong with our country. When the new president nominates someone with an obvious mental illness to be his #2 at the Department of HEALTH and Human Services…like, what can you even say?

From Politico:

President-elect Joe Biden has tapped Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine to be his assistant secretary of health, leaving her poised to become the first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

“Dr. Rachel Levine will bring the steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get people through this pandemic — no matter their zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability — and meet the public health needs of our country in this critical moment and beyond,” Biden said in a statement. “She is a historic and deeply qualified choice to help lead our administration’s health efforts.”

A graduate of Harvard and of Tulane Medical School, Levine is president of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. She’s written in the past on the opioid crisis, medical marijuana, adolescent medicine, eating disorders and LGBTQ medicine.

A couple of things: One, we didn’t know that “LGBTQ medicine” was an actual discipline – do gay people require different drugs? Of course, we assume this really means that she’s written about transition hormones and surgery, which is a category better described as “beclownment” than medicine.

Two, we have a suspicion that Biden prized Levine rather more for the “historic” aspect of the nomination than the “deeply qualified” part. Call us crazy.

That’s not to say that Levine isn’t qualified in terms of his resume, but we’re guessing it wouldn’t have taken a whole lot of searching to find someone equally qualified who didn’t come with the baggage of being a MAN WHO THINKS HE’S A WOMAN. Therefore, it is impossible to escape the conclusion that this appointment is all about “diversifying” his administration and has very little to do with finding the best people to address the pandemic.

You’re not off to a great start, Joe. Just sayin’.

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 The media momentum for war with Iran | The Listening Post (Full) by Al Jazeera English On The Listening Post this week: Hyped-up headlines, 'anonymous' sources and unspecified threats - Iran is back in the news in the US. Plus, the online horrors faced by female journalists. And our own network - Al Jazeera - comes under fire. We set the record straight. The media momentum for war with Iran This wouldn't be the first time the US media have made the case for war on the basis of vague, anonymously sourced intelligence. In 2003, it was Iraq - in 2019, it's Iran. Much of American news reporting on US-Iran relations glosses over President Donald Trump's role and the history of American aggression against Iran. While Islamic Republic - ruled by authoritarians and involved in wars in Syria and Yemen - is far from an innocent player, inflammatory headlines, unnamed sources, and decades of misinformation in the US media over Iran don't help. Contributors Negar Mortazavi - Consultant editor, The Independent Ali Vaez - Iran Project director, International Crisis Group Narges Bajoghli - Middle East Studies, Johns Hopkins University Monalisa Freiha - Associate editor, An-Nahar Newspaper On our radar Richard Gizbert speaks to producer Tariq Nafi about an offensive AJ+ Arabic video on the Holocaust taken down shortly after being published. Yaser Bishr, the executive director of Digital at Al Jazeera Media Network, responded to The Listening Post: "We at Al Jazeera deeply regret the mistake and the offense caused by content to individuals and communities across the world. I want to reiterate that Al Jazeera does not tolerate any such material on any of the Network's platforms and we are ensuring that additional processes are being put in place so that this type of error doesn’t happen again." They also talk about how Julian Assange now faces more charges in the US, with precedent setting implications for mainstream news outlets. Trolls and threats: Online harassment of female journalists Reporters have always had to defend their work, and the trolling of journalists is now routine. But many female media professionals deal with the kind of hate messages men will never see; comments about their gender, appearance and sexuality. The language can be ugly and violent, and threats of sexual assaults and rape have grown alarmingly common. For trolls, hiding behind an online profile is easy, and the anonymity of social media has made the dissemination of abuse and hate as easy as a simple click. The Listening Post spoke to two journalists - Maria Ressa in the Philippines and Sagarika Gauche in India - about their experience with online harassment, and the impact it's had on their work and wellbeing.

Legal Expert Blasts Supreme Court’s “Dangerous” LGBT Ruling

In an interview with Breitbart News this week, Carrie Severino of the Judicial Crisis Network said that the Supreme Court’s new ruling, which retroactively makes “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” part of what’s covered by the 1964 Civil Rights Act, will open the door to a “tsunami of new litigation” against religious institutions, conservative business owners, and anyone else who rejects the left’s new standards of LGBT inclusion.

“The Supreme Court left a lot of really important issues open, like, how do you balance this with religious freedom?” Severino explained. “How do you balance it with freedom of speech? If you’ve got a law, for example, saying that using someone’s preferred pronoun is mandatory — or you can be fined [for non-compliance], how do we balance that with some of these other important and even constitutional questions? Those are things that, for the most part, are unfortunately going to be just decided by a whole range of lower courts. and it will be a long time before the Supreme Court even takes up the opportunity to weigh in on that.”

Severino went on to dive into the details of the ruling, which involved “updating” the Civil Rights Act using modern-day interpretation in the precise way that judges like Neil Gorsuch are supposedly committed to avoiding.

“This had to do with the court interpreting the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” Severino said. “We’re kind of familiar with this language. It says that no employers can discriminate on the basis of sex, of religion, of natural origin, and other kinds of classic caveats that you have, but what their question was, ‘It says you can’t discriminate on the basis of sex. Does that also mean you can’t discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity?’

“What the Supreme Court did is, in an opinion, they basically just rewrote what that text said because there is a long-standing history where for decades, no politicians [and] no judge said that language meant sexual orientation, as well,” Severino noted. “That’s really a revisionist reading of the statute dressed up as textualism, and that’s one of the things that is so dangerous because we have laws that courts can effectively rewrite.”

Regardless of what you may think about whether or not sexual orientation or gender identity should be covered by federal anti-discrimination laws, the fact remains that they are not. And they will not be until Congress passes laws that explicitly makes it so.

That’s not what happened here.

What happened here was that six unelected judges decided to put words and thoughts into the mouths and minds of congresspeople from 1964, knowing full well they weren’t thinking about transgender people when they passed the Civil Rights Act. That’s judicial activism at its most blatant, and it’s extremely disappointing coming as it does from a supposedly “conservative” court.

Vice News: Transgender Surgery Should Remain “Essential” During Outbreak

Responsible hospitals around the country are putting an end to elective surgeries during the coronavirus outbreak, not wanting to waste medical supplies, painkillers, drugs, and personal protective equipment on cataract operations, nose jobs, and breast augmentations at this perilous time.

Granted, there are still plenty of hospitals blissfully ignoring the inevitable flood of COVID-19 patients coming in a week or so; they’re still glad to take your money and schedule your non-essential, elective surgery. But even that won’t last much longer – not in a situation where the federal government is looking at a shortfall of ventilators, masks, and other PPE.

This is a time where public pressure should come down hard on hospitals, clinics, and patients who are still choosing to go through with trivial surgeries being done in the name of vanity.

Instead, Vice News and LGBT groups are trying to convince the public that transgender sex change operations (of all things) are the very definition of an “essential” surgery at this time.

“For transgender and gender non-conforming people, gender-affirming surgeries are life-altering procedures, which, for many, can greatly reduce gender dysphoria and improve their quality of life. But in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, trans communities on Reddit and Twitter are being flooded with reports of postponed and canceled surgeries in the U.S., U.K., Spain, Thailand, and elsewhere, leading to enormous stress and disappointment on top of a global health crisis,” the site reported on Thursday.

“This underscores a common experience amongst trans people seeking medical care or surgery: Research has suggested that gender-affirming surgery, in particular, has a notable and long-term impact on mental health, but far too often, trans people already wait far longer than is safe or healthy for this care. Further delays can be dangerous and even life-threatening,” the report continued.

Okay. Enough.

Sorry, but if you are a fully-grown adult and you want to mangle your body so that it comes in line with your delusions and you can find a doctor willing to help you, hey, it’s America. Go for it. But your right to play Gender Identity Bingo ends with the public’s right to focus on a crisis. The idea that getting a sex change is somehow more important than a facelift or a boob job is absurd. And the thought that hospital beds, masks, medical personnel, and anesthesia will be used for these inane surgeries at a time when we need all hands (and equipment) on deck is downright infuriating.

There’s nothing quite like a national emergency to shine a light on the truth of what’s important…and what isn’t. You can cry to the heavens that gender-affirmation surgery is medically “necessary,” and that might work under normal circumstances. The bleeding hearts will buy in, certainly.

But at a time like this? Your “I’m stuck in the wrong body” nonsense just isn’t a priority.

I’m having such a conflicting gender day

I’m wearing a cute cozy outfit, with a button up that’s mostly unbuttoned, and I feel super cute and girly. But my brain is also going “boy time boy time boy time pretty boy time”

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#I’m lowkey channeling my man georgenotfound #I wanna be a pretty boy #but I also yesterday I was wearing a super masculine outfit #and I had a ball cap on backwards #and I was channeling frat boy sapnap #I just wanna show gender the way that the dream team shows gender #aj speaks #aj has a gender crisis #I think I might be non binary #but I also don’t super love labels of any kind #hmmmmmm
