I asked my dad if it was okay to go out of the house with my fox tail on... (This is a real fur fox tail that I purchased for 35 bucks at a Ren Faire, mind you)
Dad: "Do you understand what that is?"
Me: "It's a fashion accessory..."
Dad: "No, it's not a fashion statement. It means you're a FURRY! Those are usually attached to a BUTT PLUG! Don't wear those again!"
This tells me two things.
He doesn't approve of furries
He doesn't know what they are
He doesn't want me being one

okay so rewatching hbomberguy's new video, James Somerton has:
Called ND Stevenson and Rebecca Sugar women so he can make a point about how queer women have it easier
stolen an Asian transmasc person's very personal essay on Mulan and queer Asian identity
stolen from Alexander Avila, the One somewhat well known transmasc video essayist
Lied about English courts letting Radclyffe Hall "live her happy life" because perceived-female queerness wasn't legally persecuted, when in actuality, they were charged with obscenity and had their work destroyed
clearly a man whose very normal and chill about transmascs and anyone he sees as a woman i think

ok i’m back on my bullshit. trans archives agenda time
martin has trouble with health insurance at some point and has to go off t for a while, so his period comes back and he is Suffering. he asks if anyone has any painkillers (specifically vague) and tim’s like “yeah bro i gotchu” and hands him a midol. and martin just looks at him in panic like …does he know?? and tim is just like 😬 don’t mind me i’m just a normal cis guy with normal cis guy painkillers and neither of them ever mentions it again
tim wears a binder underneath his usual buttoned shirts, and likes to keep the top couple buttons undone. people just tend to assume it’s a tanktop, but sasha knows. she’s traded clothes with him a dozen times already
sasha gets bottom surgery and while she’s in recovery tim brings her food every day, and sits with her and tells her what she missed at work. he makes up funny stories that get more and more ridiculous until she’s finally like “okay tim i KNOW you’re lying this time” and he shrugs and replies “all trans men know is make friend laugh, eat doughnut, and lie”
jon gets top surgery but doesn’t tell any of his coworkers what procedure he’s having done, just that he’s having surgery. he’s out of work for weeks, and when he comes back martin notices that he’s no longer wearing what he’d assumed was an undershirt. martin doesn’t think anything of it. tim, however, notices that jon is veeeeery cautious about lifting his arms over his head and is just like ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) i see u, boss (and goes out if his way to retrieve everything that’s on high shelves for jon, who continues to act like nothing is up)
elias sneaks into the archives on the first day of pride month to set a little jar of trans flags in the break room. he does not admit to doing this. he watches from his office as the archives descends into chaos

I really can't stand that this is supposed to be Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. This design is so bad. :|

I've seen a couple of fics where, through happenstance, some of the characters get turned back into humans while still in Hell (whether they lose their memories is flexible) and it just made me think about how this would be the absolute worst case scenario for both Alastor and Vox but in different ways.
Alastor would lose his power, he would no longer be able to hold himself seperate as an enigmatic figure of immense importance because he'd just be a human, a human surrounded by demons at that. He'd suddenly go from being the most dangerous person in the room to being the most powerless. It would be a horribly revealing situation for him.
Speaking of horribly revealing, Vox would just have a breakdown. I can't even imagine how he'd react other than a full shut-down because he's done such a good job hiding his secrets that most people don't even realise there's a secret there to be found, so to suddenly have it be revealed while also putting him back into immense dysphoria-- it would be very, very bad.
Ahhh, that's such a fun little AU idea! I think, as far as 666verse is concerned, you're on the ball with regard to Alastor, but... I actually think Vox might be relatively okay.
Vox wilts slightly. “...Jesus. I haven’t gone off like that since—Val, probably. Like, years and years ago. I forgot what it felt like to give a shit. Um. Thanks.”
There's this moment in the seventh fic, that refers to the fact that Vox has spent many decades coming into himself as a person and establishing his persona. It has genuinely been a very long time since he was worried about how people perceived himself or his gender, and while being trans is not something that he'd like to advertise, it's also not a secret he's desperately keeping, at least beyond the fact that it's nobody's fucking business.
Like, this is a guy who's fully into putting on a sexy maid dress and doing horrible, horrible roleplays with Valentino. Putting on the costume of femininity isn't discomfiting for him because at this point it is very much "a costume." Like I mentioned in the ask about nightmares, I think he fears and resents what his life used to be like... but just plain getting slapped back into his human body would be, y'know, dysphoria-inducing, but not even remotely close to being forced back into the role he used to play.
He would probably go straight back to Vee Tower and take advantage of the support network and power structure that he's spent decades building for himself! It would suck, it would be deeply uncomfortable, but I think he would be very practical about it and, honestly, in a more advantageous position than Alastor would be in his shoes because he's not just Vox - he's one of the Vees.
That's why it fucking blindsides him that Alastor's opinion could risk hurting him so much. He's long since forgotten that particular insecurity - and there are very, very few people whose opinion he thinks matters enough to drag it back up.

unwarranted Cis Opinion but I'm getting really uncomfortable w people responding to bathroom bills by posting pictures of trans men like DO YOU WANT THEM IN WOMEN'S BATHROOMS
bc like. no they're men. they should be in men's bathrooms unless that feels unsafe. but. it really feels like it's not helpful to lean into the idea that seeing someone presenting masc or being read as a man in a women's bathroom means You're In Danger.
like I know several butch women and NB ppl who are really scared around being on T or getting top surgery bc they're not men and they don't want to be in the men's bathroom, and in that circumstance stuff like growing facial hair or reading more androgynously can be really fucking scary when people are being primed by propaganda to be on edge and hyperreactive to anyone who doesn't look like their idea of a Cis Woman.
and I'm not laying that at the feet of the people saying "hey uhhhh trans men are men and don't belong in women's bathrooms" bc it is not their fault. it's the fault of a concerted effort to make it difficult and dangerous to be trans or substantively gender nonconforming in public.
but at the same time idk I guess it just worries me cause sometimes it feels like "you fools! you are worried about this group of trans people bc you think they're the Lurking Danger of Men In Bathrooms? WRONG! the Men Making You Feel Afraid In Bathrooms are actually THESE trans people!" when in fact neither of those groups using the fucking bathroom is a problem. just piss and mind your business. people need to go where they need to go.
anyway this country is a hot fucking trash fire that somehow accelerates its descent into open fascism more every day so it's all super good and normal. so don't take this too seriously tbh cause it's somewhere near #2535654476457899009765 on the list of priorities for Queer Discourse right now when the fucking human rights commission is actively rescinding protections from trans people. Please ignore my gibberish.
