#and still support trans people

[jewishbarbies]

if there was a venn diagram of radfems who self identify as “misandrist” and/or “gender critical” and the general radfem population it would be a circle. you not identifying outright as a terf doesn’t give you a pass for your hateful and bigoted ideology. cry about it.

#g talks #radfems think they can be misandrists #and still support trans people #with the way they talk about men #and fetishize lesbians #absolutely fucking not #you can’t say your support them just bc you don’t call yourself a terf #when all your beliefs line up perfectly with terfism already #all of you fuck off a bridge #mine #/mobile #/okay to reblog #radfems dni #terfs dni

Social transition being seen (by some) as this super easy thing that isn't as hard as real transitioning (medical) is bullshit. Be critical of the idea that there are some trans people who just "have it easy" because they are trans or because they are trans in ways you may not be.

Social transition is just as difficult, hard, and rewarding as medical transition. Maybe it is not as hard for some, sure, but that is not the same as thinking that social transition is inherently easier or lesser. If you're socially transitioning, your voice still matters.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #not to mention that so many people DO want to medically transition but *can't* #so it can be even harder for some when they feel social transition is their only option when they don't want it to be #but social transition carries its own risks and challenges and again rewards #and i've seen this idea plenty where it's like 'oh you don't GET my struggles because you're SOCIALLY transitioning' #and while yes i am different than some trans people to say i'm struggling *more* if i'm the only one medically transitioning is??? huh???? #i don't buy into this idea that social transition is never scary because you don't have the boot of the medical system on your back #(though non-med or pre-med transitioning people still face issues in medical settings so even THEN we aren't seperate) #like there's very few ways you can separate my issues as a medically-transitioning person and the issues of somebody who isn't... #...and by that i mean there's few ways you can separate our issues so that mine trumps theirs or that i'm seen as like... trans but More #does that make sense? #medical transitioning is important but that doesn't mean it is *more* important or that only *it* is important #you can support us who are medically transitioning without erasing the experiences and struggles of other trans people #and plus... so many of us who are medically transitioning NOW are the people who socially transitioned THEN #and dare i say i despised social transition more because of how hard it was? medical transition has been (more or less) easier... #...in that i can just *be* now

when adam met 11yo keith he immediately knew that keith was gay and was like i have GOT to support this kid!! (runs into traffic) meanwhile shiro spent years operating under the assumption that keith had like a gender thing going on

#do you see my vision #voltron #shiro #keith #adashi #people are like 'haha voltron renaissance!! klance 4ever!!' meanwhile i'm still stuck in the adashi mines #shiro wasn't entirely wrong but adam was more right. #i like to imagine young adult adam and shiro are going to bed and adam is like 'we need to talk about keith.' #shiro (immediately): don't listen to iverson that guy has it out for keith. #adam: no that's- it's really cute how you always immediately have keith's back. but no i'm talking about supporting keith as he grows up #adam: because i think keith is like Us. if you get my meaning. #shiro: huh.. (oh!! Gender.) i wasn't sure if i should bring it up but yeah i've noticed a couple things.. what's our game plan? #adam: (giving a heartfelt speech about making sure keith always feels loved and cherished) #shiro: (earnestly listens but also in the back of his mind he's planning on how to casually introduce gender-neutral pronouns to keith) #adam is waiting with bated breath for keith to bring a boy home meanwhile shiro is like geez this egg is taking a while to crack... #shitpost #wait this post makes more sense if you buy into my other vision which is that shiro is transgender. always assume im writing trans shiro.

What If: Captain America Were Revived Today? #44 (April 1983) by Peter B. Gillis and Sal Buscema; Original Image by John Romita Sr.

In this What If? Marvel tale, Captain America is unfrozen in 1983 rather than the 1960s. Without the leadership of Steve Rogers, The Avengers disband. Meanwhile, a Captain America imposter, who calls himself a "real American," has decided to use his newfound influential media status to publicly support a National Identity Card to "deal with illegal aliens,” to suggest that members of civil rights groups "ought to think seriously as to whether or not their actions contribute to the strengthening of communist enemies," and declare that if those groups tear the country apart with protests, martial law is justified "for the peace to find a solution.”

Neighborhoods with large black populations (e.g., Harlem) are walled off and forced into poverty, and one character even mentions that Jewish people are being “put back into camps.” The right-wing politicians make sure that things like this aren’t shown on television, keeping the majority of the American public ignorant of the horrors committed with their indifferent support. The public are simultaneously told that with some sacrifices, America can be free once again. The fake Captain America confronts a group of peaceful protestors, and he is shot by a sniper (in what reads like an inside job), allowing the police to have “reason” to attack the protestors. The imposter does not die and instead uses the attack to provide more reason for the violent crackdown against protesting groups.

When the true Captain America is unfrozen, he is horrified to see what America has become, especially with his emblem stamped all over it. He immediately seeks out the resistance forces (who clearly represent the Black Panther Party) and joins their cause, stating that "the wrongs [he's] seen will take much more than one man to right -- but [he's] got a name to clear, a costume to unsoil-- and a country to die for!!"

By the time Steve joins them, the resistance only has one chance left to stop the American downfall: a political convention where the "America First" party will be able to secure its support to sweep the national elections and allow them "to return America to the pure and great nation [the] forefathers envisioned."

The resistance strikes just as the convention begins. The Captain America imposter is no match in a fight against the true Captain America -- especially against a Steve Rogers who's fucking pissed. ("Get up so I can knock you down!!")

With the imposter knocked unconscious, Captain America addresses the convention crowd, warning that an America that does not represent all its people does not deserve to exist at all; that liberty can be "as easily snuffed out [in America] as in Nazi Germany" and "as a people, we are no different from them."

The crowd realizes that the man speaking before them is the true Captain America and cheers. Captain America holds his hand up and silences them, stating that he will not allow them the chance to simply replace one idol with another. He alone can’t undo the horrible damage, and he pleads that there’s still a chance for the people to “find America once again.”

Fascism doesn’t change its tune, just its singers.

Just thinking of Regulus who chopped his long hair off because he was tired of feeling feminine...of feeling dysphoric. He thinks James will be upset that regulus is 'trying to be a boy' or something but James just opens the bathroom drawer and pulls out the scissors with a small smile

"how short, love?"

And regulus has to swallow harshly against the lump in his throat, has to hunch over and sob for a minute as James rubs his back

James softly grabbing pieces of his hair and cutting it silently after regulus calms down

James tenderly brushing regulus' choppy hair back, scissors in one hand as regulus sits there quietly. James humming as he cuts his hair and asks regulus all types of questions

Why did you cut your hair?

Are you a boy then?

Do you have a new name?

Is there anything else you need ?

Do you need help telling the others? Are we even telling the others?

Just....sigh yea

"reblog to kill a terf" "reblog to explode a terf" "reblog to pulverize a terf" what about reblog to give a trans woman a hug if she wants and a mug of tea or coffee of her choice?

#idk man i just feel like we need to be loving trans women equally or more than we hate terfs #bad attention is still attention. simply ignore terfs and support trans women #why do we have to focus on hating bad people instead of loving the ones they hurt?

#throwback to that time I was a freshly out queer kid and was congratulated multple times for not being too queer #the therapist I had to see to get my letter for hrt was happy that I was binary-trans(?) and proceeded to go on a rant about NB identities #*during a therapy session* #there are many spaces that had meaningful impacts on me and I still don't know if I was accepted there #or if I was just palatable #people will ignore your identity and call it support #there was no point to this btw #sometimes you just need to make bad art for that collection of feelings you don't have the words to fully encompass #I love seeing such visibly queer people #and hope that is one day me #my art

Most recent stupid argument I’ve seen against “transandrophobia” is that transmascs’ experiences also line up with gnc cis women. Like no kidding!! They fucking do!! I’ve seen it widely acknowledged that transandrophobia doesn’t just affect transmasculine people but anyone perceived in a similar way (cis butch lesbians are the biggest example—transandrophobia and lesbophobia are deeply intertwined). It’s not just a word, it’s a framework. This criticism falls in line with the argument that transmascs are just trying to feel like their experiences are special and unique to them. But that’s literally one of the huge differences from popular conceptions of transmisogyny (tme/tma); transmasc folks I’ve seen are very willing to point out they’re not the only ones affected by transandrophobia even if it primarily targets them.

#THIS IS NOT criticizing transmisogyny theory #it IS however a criticism of tme/tma which is different — serano doesn’t even necessarily support it last I checked #gnc cis women are treated similarly to transmascs but gnc cis men aren’t treated similarly to transfems? make it make sense #like. just look at the concept of ‘inversion’ and how it still affects perceptions of trans people today #transandrophobia #lesbophobia #intracommunity issues tag #tme/tma #mine

why did i just see someone complaining abt ppl headcanoning dndads characters being neurodivergent. And technically they only mentioned ocd and autism specifically. But i suspect it is not just those (although ppl Were also talking about adhd and they didnt seem to have any problem with that! Hm. Wonder Why!)

dog consider that this is a Nonissue. "But but 😭. why are you talking about this in context of a dnd podcast and making them seem like fun character quirks" my brother in christ they literally said they relate to this character and ALSO have that so u KNOW why + even if they didnt it doesnt MATTER as long as they r not being weird abt it

As long as people are respectful (and the ppl theyre referring to Were!) there is quite literally nothing wrong with saying "hey i have xyz disorder and this character shows traits and has relationships that strongly imitate xyz disorder". OR EVEN "hey this character who has been through this traumatic thing probavly has xyz trauma related disorder." Or perhaps "Hey this character meets the criteria for/shows symptoms of xyz and interpreting them as such is a way to explore their character in a new light"

I would argue in fact that it is an issue to say "you arent allowed to talk about any of these in reference to characters because it's making a joke of them" or whatever. Dude people with ocd Exist. And.! people with literally anything else!. it is absurd to imply that mental illnesses/disorders cannot be considered and explored when interpreting stories. Like that is ridiculous

#dndads #dungeons and daddies #AND ALSOOO not to mention! #the players have literally brought up autism hcs. they support people making them. who CARES #+ the literal podcast is about generational trauma what do u mean they are making light of issues #if you only listen to the pod as fun background noise that is Fine but do not act like it can't have meaningful interpretations 😭 #idk . even in media that's not particularly “serious” u can still have these hcs. its like saying u cant make gay or trans hcs #like i do hate to break it to u but those people just Exist . it is bot absurd to say that they may Also exist in a piece of media #we need critical thinking skills BACK

turned 30 yesterday and thought about how incredible it is to be publicly trans in a very prominent tech field, and how amazing the outpouring of support has been. feeling good about life and happy to still be here :)

#incessant meowing #me #and the best part is that i'm not the only public figure trans person #the awful hateful people are still out there for sure but like..... the support is stronger #we are finding community and employment and it's NORMAL #it's still hard sometimes but for the most part i realize that i am just.... /safe/ #and the realization hits me like a freight train every time and makes me want to weep with gratitude! #like i'm still here!! i'm still here and i'm not going anywhere!!! #it's bittersweet to think about the fight that went into this and still goes into this #not just for me but every lgbt person in america right now #but i am never ever going to take for granted the fact that i am standing on a mountain built by decades of activism #and i hope i can help pave the path up it for others to follow

Me in 2016: You know, saying things like "trans rights are human rights" doesn't necessarily mean that person is safe around trans people. In fact, sometimes people still have unchecked bias against trans people, and that can be clouded by them saying that trans rights are human rights. It can prevent them from fully looking into their own preconceptions about cissexism and trans people.

Me in 2023: Oh, thank gd this person said "trans rights are human rights," I was worried they also abhorred trans people

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #transphobia #transphobia tw #you know i still kind of agree with the 2016 statement but that comes with the caveat that at least they're fucking saying that... #....our rights are human rights. so long as their actions also reflect that i have way less of a problem with that statement than before #but it's crazy just how awful it's gotten in some ways #bruh i was worried a hisotry youtuber i somewhat liked was an anti-woke chud... #..and then i was proven wrong when he blatently posted support for trans people so good for him!! always happy to be proven wrong (genuine) #can statements like TRAHR be used disingenuously to put a false sense of secutity in them? yes sure... but also... #...don't immediately jump to that conclusion *unless* they have shown their ass about it #note that when i say 'anti-woke' i mean how conservatives belolieve woke means things they don't like #NOT the meaning of woke that originated in Black spaces and AA(V)E #hopefully that clears any confusion?

#personal #i know there are trans people with far worse home and family situations and im not trying to negate that but like. #its the little things like that that i see and its just kind of a punch in the face reminder that the only support i get from her in regards #to me being nonbinary is apathetic.like if she's telling a story about me before i came out she wont use the right pronoun/name in the story #or when shes talking about how she was talking about me at work and uses my birthname/pronouns (i okayed this we live in a red county) she #wont change the name/pronouns. or how she gets weird any time i mention top surgery or how instead of calling someone out for deadnaming #or misgendering me she just also starts doing it or how she still introduces herself to people as “[deadname]'s mom or #its just annoying #anyways im ranting in the tags now. sorry. #donna noble #rose noble #unsupportive mother #casual transphobia #doctor who

Literally why aren’t bisexuals just allowed to be bisexual. You’re in a “straight” relationship and suddenly your entire relationship is called into question, you’re a default cheater apparently, you’re gross and icky and tainted from past relationships, you don’t face the same homophobia in society somehow bc you aren’t a *real 100%* queer. Bi women are fetishized and abused and bi men are tossed aside and forgotten or completely misidentified based on any perceived deviation from gender roles. Your entire identity is actually transphobic bc bi means two and how dare you not accommodate nb people when the identity LITERALLY ALWAYS HAS. Shut up AHUT UP.

#reblogs off bc I’ll delete this later but ugh!! ARGGGHH!!! #like it stings bc a lot of this comes from within the community too. which is not unique bc lesbians and trans people and especially trans #women and people of color are all treated like this to varying degrees I don’t think I’m gods special oppressed princess #but it’s still so frustrating! read a manifesto be supportive of your neighbors! #ramblings #tbd

man I sure do hope people who say that trans people don't have to present hyper-binary or be passable are normal about masc/butch trans people, including trans women who don't want surgeries or hrt or use she/her pronouns. Man I sure do hope they don't just mean femme trans men and exclude trans women and nonbinary masculine people. Man I sure do hope that they aren't super fucking weird about masculinity, especially when performed by trans women.

#Just. #A lot of people are rlly saying the quiet part out loud when they make posts standing out for transfemme afabs #Lifting up their femininity and right to their expression #Then make posts about ew gross masculinity I hate mascs men eeww #And are dead silent about trans women #They hype up trans men that don't want hrt or surgery #But the only rare discussion they have about trans women is femme trans women #It's almost as if they just hate masculinity and want to preserve femininity #Idk it just rlly grinds all my gears #It's like. Almost TERF-lite #Like they're allies of the most vanilla order #Just hate it when they say they support genderfuckers #But then there's a butch person who uses pronouns other than she/her and still identifies with womanhood to some capacity #Or a trans woman who doesn't want to present femme in any capacity but still identifies as a woman #Then they get fucking confused #it's fine #transphobia #queerphobia #homophobia #trans issues #transphobes #butch #masculine #masculinity #Transmisogyny #I would consider this transmisogyny #Bc denying women's right to express themselves however the fuck they want is a form of misogyny

i was watching ethan is online's "you're wrong about modern art" video and when he said "I don't think Charlie knows any gay people" it instantly articulated to me 1) why I hate moistcr1tikal and 2) why I love hivemind

like... moistcr1tikal is a bumbling fucking idiot who lives in Tampa. and I also live in florida so clearly there are gay people there but you can tell he's not talking to them. Tbh he gives me the vibes of someone who's not outwardly phobic cus its a bad public image, but if his fans were being nasty he would look the other way. Plus the only time I've seen him talk about lgbt stuff he said "most people in 2023 don't have an issue with people being gay" which is so untrue that I wanted to throttle him through the screen

Meanwhile hivemind clearly know SEVERAL gay people and talk about their support of the lgbt community all the time and one of riley's twitter besties (ro ramdin) is a cool and awesome tgirl that they'd love to have on the show. Like any jokes aside it is really nice having a lgbt-friendly youtube channel like this, both in just making jokes about stuff (like smokey the twink 😭) and actually moderating their community (turning off any vaguely phobic shit that gets submitted on streams and not refunding them iirc, and now I think Tony actually vets everything before it gets played). I could imagine it's also an oasis specifically for lgbt rap/hip-hop fans cus there's a loooot of homophobic and transphobic rap fans. If you bring up lil uzi vert's pronouns in like any other comment section I bet people would eat you alive

If Charlie moistcr1tikal tried to make a joke about gay culture I would want to kick him in the shins. When Dignan and Riley make jokes about piping bears (gay) in France and taking poppers I go like this 🫶 over my screen. Send post

#text #hivemind tv #i know they dont make similar Content per se but its still like. white cishet dudes talking about stuff #and i like that i can feel safe watching the hivemind boys talk about things because They Know Gay People so any lgbt support they give #feels a lot less surface-level. imo #ALSO theres like so many trans people in the fandom on here and the discord server which is awesome shoutout to my fellow trans digriders #lets watch jk rowlings house burn down... together 🤝
