if the only way you know how to criticize my handling of Lea is to somehow blame Merry and also Trans Women™️ as a whole then i’m going to be honest: your criticisms are not going to be the ones i listen to. it’s very strange to me now that both times i’ve had people specifically bring up Merry when talking about Lea and also follow it up with, and i quote: “people only care about trans women.” this monolithic Trans Women you keep blaming has nothing to do with the decisions i’ve made about Lea, and i’m begging you to think for like 2 seconds and realize what you are saying and how you sound right now. i’m not even trying to change your mind or your feelings regarding Lea, that conversation has been had many times over at this point, but you have got to stop blaming trans women for.... being more oppressed than you ? come on

one of my favorite parts of finding out that a piece of media you love is problematic is that you can't tell anyone you like it for at least like a month without them being like "oh well have you heard about the Incredibly Fucked Up Thing that just happened?" like yes i am aware i am trying to figure out my emotions about it thank you for reminding me that this thing that has helped me through some really rough points has people/things involved with it that are Very Fucked Up

what is it that has the most rotted-ass no-pfp transphobes digging up random posts from like a year ago that got 14 notes total to Start a Dialogue About Gender
This was on a post about widespread medical mistreatment of intersex people but please, let me pull up a chair for you, make you a nice soothing cup of chamomile, and kindly, calmly explain to you that something being a social construct (i.e., an idea/set of ideas made up by people and enforced over time through cultural norms, built systems, and power structures) does not make it "not real". That's not a fucking "gotcha" man you sound SO FUCKING SILLY!!!
"Um if um gender is a social construct what um,,,, what about my very real penis??? my penis isn't a social construct. It's a full twelve inches and very awesome and I use it all the time for sex, which I definitely know how to have and am great at. Gonna tell me and all the hot babes I've slept with that my very awesome penis isn't real, liberal??? Either gender is made up or it's REAL and I'M correct about it." Man, I am pouring that hot tea directly in your lap. Get the fuck off my blog. You aren't owed my kindness nor my expertise

About to go off about a youtuber I don't like probably will delete this post later but you've been warned
Anyway I love it when I find some pretty informative videos holding matpat accountable for his (specifically in this instance) transphobic and ableist actions as if he didn't donate like 3 million dollars to next for autism two-ish years ago.
edit because i added it to an ask about this: i got it messed up he helped raise the money he didn't like. solely donate it if iirc. still fucked up imo
