#if a person is trans and gay theyre still gay

"But this hyper specific detail on a character or in a piece of media has no significance on what the author supports!"

It can depending on context, if you have a character that wears dog tags that are specifically shaped and styled after a nazi regime that only a certain group in the know would know about therefore telling those ppl "hey I'm one of you guys." That usually means they might be one of those guys actually.

#my stuff #obviously it depends on context #but if a transphobe is discounting their store with the percentage thats specifically the numbers #with the rate trans woman are killed every year #you have to admit something is fucking going on at that point #if a group of ppl seem to be 'nitpicking' and pointing out these hyperspecific details #u need to listen #honestly it makes no sense why ppl will disregard shit like that as nothing #when a gay person can say a certain phrase or inflect their word and hint to you theyre gay without syaing it #to let you know hey were family #and you automatically know from the barest of hints #meanwhile the terf of all time is using her money to kill transpeople and is being vocal about it too #but some of yall are still like...so stupid about it #ok thats all for today #<- i say while the day is early and i still have bitching to do

So an LP channel I love presented a theory that the mage circle in DA is essentially built to fail, things like templar incompetence and brutality and poor training of mages are allowed to spread specifically so that there are enough incidents to keep the widespread fear of mages fresh, and I LOVE that. Given how Bioware writes I sincerely doubt its intended, but its a take that I really love particularly when you look at all the cultures with mages outside of the chantry that do just fine (mainly thinking if the dalish here but like...there's enough casually mentioned apostates out there just vibing to suggest that circle training against demons isn't all that effective)

Downside is it makes Vivienne all the more infuriating to deal with. I already struggled talking to her because she's like...she's literally fighting for her own oppression, it drives me insane

#and before anyone says sure i see the arguments that mages are inherently dangerous #its the same story you see in X-men or telepaths in B5 etc etc #that doesnt make it any less a narrative about oppression lol #its the same reason i have such strong opinions on marvel civil war for example #(the comic not the movie the movie was shit) #like...it doesnt matter how theoretically dangerous a person is. theyre still a fucking person. #let individual groups manage their own people yknow #shocking take my gay autistic trans ass is agressively pro mage lol but like...god #bioware has such an interesting and direct parable on their hands and routinely wipes their collective ass with it #and its especially frustrating bc Vivienne is an interesting character! id love to get to know her more #but every fucking conversation is a criticism that im giving mages basic personal freedoms or how wonderful the chantry is #it makes her downright unpleasant to talk to #at least sera and bull feel like they can at least see the other side of things sometimes

Also got this positively adorable snapshot of Zelda Bowsmith and Heavyheart while window-shopping in Global Store. they're mirroring each other 🥺 its like a little dance! striking a lil pose !

#this is the dream outfit btw. I just dont have enough money asdfghj #thats why Im doing archaeology now babeyyyyyy #but once I get this i will be sooooooo powerful. both of my OCs will have Signature Outfits. and all will be well. #theyre so contrasting too LOL and i love that #if I ever get a 3rd account theyre gonna be the most colorful chaotic kinda person with clothes ever. Im gonna have so much chaos fun. #z talks #sso #ssoblr #na: heavyheart #Zelda Bowsmith is very much like... your standard preppy kinda rich dresses-nice horse girl. She will bite you #Zelda Axewatcher... is not that. She might still bite you though. #They probably will never meet (being in different parallel timelines and all yknow) but I think they would get along very well. #they could learn a thing or two from another if nothing else. #Bowsmith could use some of Axewatcher's carelessness. Axewatcher could use some of Bowsmith's sharp wits and cutting words. #wow look at me... developing my OCs more in the span of five tags than i literally EVER have before #Also they're both gay and trans but yknow ALL our ocs are. #So that goes without saying I feel.

#god i always feel so lonely. like im the only trans somali person. ive never met another one #but my sister talked to me about a guy she met at her highschool and i was ecstatic #she said he was a trans somali gay guy and i nearly cried #like there was another one. in my city. who could understand #so i always waited for the day i could go to a public school and meet other people with experiences similar to mjne #that day still hasnt come. im still stuck being isolated. the only difference is im doing online school #and i have to be around these people knowing im not safe. that if they found out who i was i could be seriously harmed #but earlier today i found an account for somali gay people. i saw the most gorgeous trans people #and they were genuinely happy. all of them experienced nearly the same thing im experiencing #and theyre okay. god. aha #finn.txt

[strawberrybabydog]

were having a municipal election soon and every single i find his called "everything (not my city) needs to know about the election" and you click on it to find out its 1 sentance that says "this is going to be an exciting election!" and thats it

my city's website literally says

"how to find canidates:

find candidates to contact them."

so now im just considering not voting? ive seen 4 candidates and all of them are different far-righties so i dont even know if there are any left people i can vote for lol i might pull up to vote and just leave

#by different i mean they pretend theyre not the same thing #i got 2 flyers for the school board person and BOTH of them had nearly identical anti-gay anti-trans rhetoric #one of them claimed that hypersexualized content was being shown to kindergarteners #glad to see conservativism can still only survive on lies!

actually me and the bald motorcycle boy with leukemia from mmfr have a lot in common

#im not retrospectively realizing that i related to him a lot when i watched the movie at 16 and also every other time ive watched it #now* #literally nonbinary guys who are unwell physically as well as mentally constantly having to be held back from doing nonsensical insane shit #by the cool no nonsense dykes theyre in community with. #also doing the macho rock n roll thing but badly according to the hegemony bc of still having human feelings and/or being gay & trans. lol #personal

[orcelito]

ok ykno what I think the general online atmosphere re: Attraction To Men is very horrible & stunting. I've realized recently that I probably do have some internalized biphobia that was a big motivator for why I identified with the word gay despite not Really having a gender preference. & yea I still identify with gay but also maybe I kinda identify with bi too. Bc my gender is fluid and it really just depends on the day, but overall I am potentially attracted to men too and that doesn't take away from my non-straight identity, & it's not Unfortunate or anything either.

Yes, I'm scared of men I don't know. I'm fucking Terrified of them. But men are still just human fucking people, with as much potential for good as anyone else. The masses of people who are all like "eww who even likes men lol" or ppl feeling ashamed for liking men, like. What's the fucking point? You're making trans men feel awful, you're making gay men feel awful, & hell even cis straight men don't deserve to be put down all the time simply for being men.

So sick of all those people who Genuinely think that's okay. Like lmao get the fuck out of here.

#speculation nation #my own identity is smth im still figuring out but im working on like. not feeling bad or guilty about being attracted to men #which WHAT a reversal of the usual narrative lmfao. i was somehow lucky enough to not end up with internalized homohobia #bc no one rly talked about it when i was growing up. never really registered homosexuality existed until i was a freshman in high school #& then shortly after i realized i was into girls lol #and then i joined tumblr and ive been around that 'eww men' mentality. also frankly an anti-straight mentality. #which yes ive long been over that Straight Shit. but ppl still act so allergic to any kind of m/f pair Regardless of how else #they might be part of the community. re: trans or bi or whatever else #it made me feel ashamed of my potential attraction to men. to the point where when someone i was dating realized they were a trans dude #i let the relationship fizzle and die instead of adapting to it. bc i didnt want to be with a guy. #i still dont rly wanna date cishet guys bc theyre just. kind of Bleh in a way i dont want romantically or otherwise #that's just personal taste. hard to feel personally understood in an intimate way with them #but trans men or bi men r like. Wonderful. #aka i dont like to date anyone who's not lgbt in some way. i think that's a better way to look at it. #girls i date r automatically not straight bc i very much look like a girl lol. guys could be cis and straight tho n im not interested in it #BUT yeah. ive been more open about my feelings re: guys on here bc im working to accept that part of myself #yes i have a girlfriend. no this is not an attempt for actual Application of the attraction. i just want to embrace all of my identity #the identity still exists even if im dating someone. that's how the bi stuff works lol #i still like gay as a descriptor bc it feels like a catch all to me. but also maybe i could be bi too #this is weird gender stuff talking dont come at me for equating the two things lol i just dont know what my gender is doing #anyways peace out it's 4:20 am and i need to get tbe FUCK to sleep

[mx-paint]

.

#the way this person worded this is. something. #that theyre mad a canon bisexual character is. bisexual. #taking a line from him saying that he wonders if his new body turned him gay when hes a unreliable narrator. #YIKES. #and then lying to say the creator confirmed he was gay bc hes in the new body is still. bad #like she most definitely did not or people would have wrote down what she said for all to see #its just weird #like even in his first life he flirts and likes both men and women #but idk if the lying is getting to me like it should #considering they also lie about a trans character not being trans #when the creator only has said about them that their ex lover will only watch them for the rest of their life #instead of them ever meeting again

Earlier I talked about people who don't neatly fit within a cis/nonbinary/trans paradigm. It's an expensive, sensitive topic a lot of academics and activists are already talking about. Here's an inconclusive list of people to whom this may apply:

-Lesbians with no particular affinity to womanhood beyond being lesbians

-Same but for gay men

-Same as the first two points but with a big emphasis on butch lesbians and drag queens

-Cis people who have trauma, even dysphoria, with their AGAB, but can't find another gender or label they'd like any better

-Cis people of color who are excluded from eurocentric norms of what it means to look, act, and be cisgender

-Immigrants who had different gender norms in their country or origin who no longer fit in

-Neurodivedvent people for whom gender is just another set of confusing social cues

-Nonbinary people who refer to themselves as their AGAB as shorthand in day to day interaction (similar to choosing a "Starbucks name")

-Nonbinary people who partially identify with their AGAB

-People who view their gender, not as something essential to them, but as imperfect language to refer to a complex range of expressions and experiences

-People who change labels over time but have overlying experiences that transcend these changes

-People who grew up before nonbinary identity really proliferated and still use the nomenclature theyre used to (even if they're not considered cis by contemporary standards)

-People questioning their identity

-People who don't relate to western philosophical notions of "the self."

-People for whom their gender is, well, kind of hard to explain.

Cis is still an important term when denoting power dynamics, especially on a broad sociological level. But on a personal level, this category very often falls apart. Language can only do so much. Anyway, there's a lot I still don't know but I just listened to an excellent episode of the Gender Reveal podcast with trans historian Jules Gill-Peterson where they discuss they question what it means to be cis (and how it applies to institutions vs individuals), along with so many other topics that I found fascinating. Give them a listen!

[twunkzilla]

I'll see people arguing about whether bi4bi couples or t4t couples are gay enough or straight when like. Dude. There is literally no such thing as being gay like if you are gay like wow good for you gold star. Like I don't understand what you have to gain or lose like why get so upset when your straight m4f relationship is called straight if it's just factual. Gay people still fucking suck like you have nothing to gain by being gay who cares get the heterosexual discount at Cabelas fucking own it stop whining on Twitter about the perception of your internal life by strangers lol

#my main issue with lgbt m4f couples is that the men are still treating the women like shit even if theyre both bi or trans lmaooo #i think its the idea that if youre gay youre a better person #like dont get me wrong ill get pissed when bi men prioritize straight and cis people over me but thats just homophobia #like closet gay men have done that to me its not a bi thing #but like seriously stop hinging your identity on how others see you

[decolonize-the-left]

I've noticed a rise in radfems/TERFs in feminism tags and more specifically trying to rebrand as The Real Feminism or True Feminism since it's "for the girlies" or whatever.

I am begging you all to help me bury them.

Because as a teen who grew up during the peak of exclusionary "bi/pan/aces aren't vaild" and "kill all men" era where the concept of misandry THRIVED I'm telling you this feels extremely similar.

And radfem/terf ideology got mainstream from those sentiments being so popular and so easy to tap into. It was framed as being righteous since men were oppressors.

"Women are good and men are just mean oppressors! Look at everything they've done!" is such a common sentiment in those circles.

It also completely lacks critical feminist thought.

And we're STILL dealing with the affects of it over a decade later.

.....So let's talk about JKR since she's currently the Figurehead and favorite of the movement that's trying to rewrite feminist history.

It's 2023. It's a year before a US election where Project 2025 and Trump would happily create a road for trans and queer folks to be imprisoned if not worse.

Which is I'm sure why JKR has been photographed and interacting with multiple members from The Heritage Foundation, people whove spoken for them, and people who attended theyre meetings. She even enjoyed watching Magdalen, who who she credits for becoming a TERF.

But do you know who Magdalen is? Or what else she was saying? What about any of the other people in the photo? Do you know the scope of what JKR was internalizing and how bad it was? Do you know she has ties to conservative anti-abortion groups?

Do you know what The Heritage Foundation? Probably not and they're the worst so let me tell you why it's such a huge red flag for her and other so-called TERFs and radfems to be associated with them.

Because I can tell you right now she heard a lot of things from those people and there is no fucking way in hell that it was just about queer people or just some sex-specific concerns. And it wasn't just passive bigotry.

Anyone who doesn't conform to the idea of a white, straight nuclear family (re: single mothers, leftists, immigrants, gay couples, etc) is made out to be an enemy of the state.

Anyone they can justify as a "national threat." Yes, they call us all a national threat on their site, their book, and the pamphlets they pass out to politicians. The details are listed on their website including the Mandate For Leadership which is their instruction guide for the next president.

I'm not exaggerating when I say it calls for genocide, prison camps, and eugenic cleansing.

Several people in that photo don't even support abortion, a basic women's rights that JKR claims to care about deeply.

JKR was consuming white supremacist dogma under the guise of feminism.

And she's not willing to admit or correct it which is where the problem lies. She won't even admit to herself that she was fooled or that it's bad or hypocritical.

My concern is that she is not the only person who's fallen for it and there are more everyday.

So it's very important to me y'all learn how to filter out what Actual Feminism is in this age where literal fascism is attempting to take its place.

Firstly,

Real, actual feminism will be welcoming to EVERYONE

Because the patriarchy doesn't only affect women or cis people or white women and it's an insult to every previous feminist icon to say otherwise.

Feminists have been fighting for decades to unite people under the concept that Patriarchy is a system that will be brought down with allyship and solidarity.

They've been fighting so hard and so long to prove that everyone deserves the same rights as men.

That women are just as capable as men and shouldn't be stopped from entering fields of study and sports dominated by men. They've been fighting to prove that women are just as capable and smart as any man is, that men would benefit from it dismantling patriarchy too.

Women fought side by side with the queer community to get Roe v Wade passed in 1973. You know why? Because despite what radfems and TERFs will tell you trans women benefit from protecting and standing up for bodily autonomy.

Do not let bigots tear drive a wedge between two groups that experience gender based oppression and would benefit from the same exact rights.

We have changed history together and they're terrified we'll do it again.

A screenshot from the largest feminist organization active right now, The National Organization of Women.

Notice how the T is included. They even posted this video two years ago when LGBT and specifically trans rights started really coming under attack in 2022.

Trans women are women.

Trans men are men.

ALL women deserve rights.

Every gender deserves equality and fairness.

And feminism is for all of us or it is for none of us.

Because nobody deserves to be treated the way patriarchy treats us.

big fan of people who thought they were cis gay only to later realise theyre trans t4t gay. you did an acrobatic pirouette around the gender circus and still came out the other end a gay person. iconic honestly.

[alacetor-the-duckies-deer]

The like, best way I would ship Lilith x Lucifer x Alastor is if they had the same dynamic as Lito, Hernando, and Daniella from Sens8.

Lilith and Lucifer are the touchy Feely one in a romantic and sexual relationship, and Alastor's there in a queerplatonic manner, he doesn't have sex with them or kiss them. But he's always there for their most intimate, important life moments, fascinated by THIEIR relationship, and they wouldn't want it any other way.

Like one of my favorite scenes in the show (Minor sense8 spoilers) is, Lito and Hernando are moving, and they're looking at this one house with Dani, and she starts gushing about how perfect it is for the three of them, and then gets all nervous, not knowing if she was actually moving with them or everstepping (they were all living together but all had to leave at the same time) and they're like "no no no. Of course you coming with us"

And I want that with Alastor.

The way she's touching them just a little while theyre all over eachother, and feels just as caught as they do by the person in the elevator

The way their joy brings her so much joy

The way she seemlessly takes Hernado's drink from between Lito's legs, but Lito doesn't turn any of that rizz on her

The was she's into what they're doing and they don't mind her there

The way she's still able to touch in casual settings without it being odd

How they don't hesitate to comfort her ans show her more intimate affection, and how she's surised but pleased

Imagine all that with this Lucifer and Lilith and Alastor.

(And more actual spoiled for Dani's plot, I highly encourage watching the show, but,,, the way Daniel has an abusive ex and abusive controlling family, but find love with these two, easily leans into a story where Lilith and Luci work to get Alastor out of his contract. And he's so suprised that they actually love him enough to do what they gonna do for that)

Anyway sense8 is such a good show. It has trans rep and three (3) kind of poly rep and gay rep and lesbian rep, and the sci-fi premise is so good and the story is good. Everyone should watch it.

a return to the monsters and mommies au designs, this time properly lined and in color! :D posted in the middle of the night just like last time though because i have problems <3 there are some small changes to these designs, but for the most part i was pretty happy with them so this was mostly just to give myself a color reference for them all lol

gonna ramble about small decisions i made below the cut, but its not necessary at all to understanding the designs! just wanna dump my thoughts somewhere :P

for the most part, the kids' designs are the same as i do them for normal canon, but there are some small differences. i've never really done a proper reference for their kid designs either though, so i guess no one would even notice LOL

freeman family: well, firstly - nick's last name is freeman in this au LOL but its easier to refer to him as nick close so people know who i mean as opposed to nicholas foster. usually, i draw nick close with blue hair (i think he goes through a range of colors, but blue is my default), but i do this because he does it to honor morgan. since she is alive here, instead, his default is pink because thats his favorite color to dye it! morgan and nick both have various bead jewelry because i like to have the headcanon that morgan is really into pony bead jewelry; this is also why all of my nick and nicholas designs have the same trans pride necklace, morgan made it for him :] both nick and morgan wear glenn's old clothes, both of them are wearing his shirts in this piece. aaand morgan has subtle heterochromia as a reference to the split timeline! she always has it, it doesnt just magically happen or anything, but its just a small nod to that.

wilson family: its real important to me that grant got his dad's exact coloration except for his gray eyes, which are all carol. why is this important? i dunno! its just interesting to me. also, carol doesnt usually leave her top buttons undone, but upon entering the forgotten realms, she unbuttons it because otherwise her shirt will pop open while she's doing things (to be honest, as a person with a larger chest myself, her shirt probably still pops open but it does help-!). usually i draw grant with a gay pride necklace, but since he doesnt come out pre-forgotten realms in this au, i tragically had to drop it. i miss my rainbow grant. please come home, baby.

oak-garcia family: i always forget to do mercedes's tattoos in my sketches because tbh i never know exactly what to give her. but! but. this time i just went for it. these tattoos arent necessarily set in stone, but i think theyre cute. the tattoo hidden by her skirt is an oak leaf for henry :] her gem necklace is also the same color as his eyes! her skirt is supposed to be, like, tie-dye or maybe more bleach washed, but i dunno how to draw that so whatever. the twins are, like, 100% the same as usual, i just gave sparrow a pink bead necklace instead of the multi-colored necklace i use for my default canon design lol. also, i think i drew the twins slightly too tall here, which is funny because theyre the only ones who are notably shorter than their mom HDFJKGHK

stampler family: i struggled a lot with what colors to give samantha, because i wanted her to have a bright color palette but not anything garish or patterned. originally she was gonna have a white shirt, but then i realized that would make it so all the moms had white shirts and i just couldn't have that LOL so i ended up landing on red for her! it matches with terry junior, so i thought that'd be cute :] terry's design is probably the most different from my default for him? which still isn't a lot but i swapped his dark blue flannel for a black undershirt instead. i cannot explain why i did this. it just felt right in the moment. i gave him a sweet revenge shirt instead of the usual black parade shirt i give him because... well. if you know, you know. and finally, terry gets a little concert admission bracelet!! i always do that, but i just wanted to point it out because i think continuing to wear an admission bracelet for ages after a concert is a very teen thing to do. i always felt so cool doing that in high school hehe

[homochadensistm]

personally , I think if one finds out that a potential sex partner is trans and is uncomfortable going further, simply just turn them down without stating why. They don't need to know why. anyways a cis gay/lesbian is still valid whether they are open to having sex with a trans man or woman or not. some people's attraction is based more on gender presentation, others is genital/physcial sex characteristic(that can't easily be changed) based. both have the right t self id as mlm/gay,wlw/lesbian etc.

I agree with you but ur being a bit naiive if u think ppl who get rejected just move on immediately. A lot will ask you why and press you for an answer, and from my own personal experience, even when I answered a typical "ur just not my type" they tend to immediately take in the way that post described and you get chastised by a complete stranger for not wanting to fuck them. Like, its an absolute truth that lesbians are being socially coerced and guilted into fucking ppl theyre not attracted to and its genuinely disgusting how normalized it became. Im shocked that "unlearn ur biases sweaty :)))" isnt a line used in them fundie conversion camps nowadays cause it seems to work so well in the westoid leftoid circles.

I myself dont even care about dicks or vajs, I find secondary (rather than primary) sex characteristics much more important in my attraction to others, but just because Im comfy (I think) with a dick doesnt mean other lesbians are. Most are absolutely not despite what they say and post online to Pass As Socially AcceptableTM.
