Your own source paints you as a liar...... it says "AMAB people face a 1 in 5 sexual assault rate, vs AFAB 1 in 4" that's afabs getting more raped... sorry, but it's all transmisandry. It said up to FIVE PERCENT of trans women get raped, vs 45% of trans men according to multiple surveys... that's even LOWER than cis men.

Honestly I'm not even sure where to begin with this one anon.

Perhaps we can start with the fact that you are trying to use statistics about AMABs (a group that is 99% cis men) and AFABs and using that to draw conclusions about trans women, who represent less than 1% of all "AMABs".

If your point is to say that cishet men are less likely to experience sexual assault than "AFABs" then you'll get no argument from me, but trying to make claims about how trans women are treated by using statistics where trans women comprise less than 1% of the group you are looking at (in this case people who were assigned male at birth) then your analysis is going to be inherently flawed.

The sentence you are referencing about 5% of trans women being raped from my source is actually a typo on the author's part, and the source it references and the rest of that sentence should have probably made that obvious.

What was meant by that sentence was that ~5% of prison rapes in men's prison happen to trans women, despite trans women making up less than .6% of the population in men's prisons. This means that trans women in mens prisons are over 8 times as likely to be raped in men's prisons as cis men are.

I hope I was able to clear up the misconception brought on by the authors of that paper anon, and I also hope the rest of your day gets better. You seem to have a lot of pent up aggression and resentment that you are dealing with in what I'm not sure is the healthiest way. 💛

Idk why my mind keeps coming back to that fic by crime-wives or why I keep wondering... what if Derek didn't really choose Addison? what if they mutually decide it's for the best they separate? what if tired of people gossiping about their private life they decide to keep their decision under wraps, well, at least until it's finalized. What if Addison feeling kind of, idk, maybe, a little bit relieved with their decision, she goes to Joe's to celebrate only to be faced with Meredith and her hurtful words... What if hurt by the other woman, Addison lets her think whatever it was she thought. What if it's only after everything was finalized and Addison already left Seattle that Meredith learned the truth? What if it's only then that she realizes— Okay, I'm gonna stop myself right there...

I wonder what it’s like to feel human

I’ve never felt a part of this world. Maybe it’s partly because of the ‘tism but I’ve always felt like I’m only pretending to be a real person.

It freaks me out sometimes, thinking that maybe I’m not a real person. I’ve always felt like I should be an animal, like I got misplaced somehow

I feel like I shouldn’t exist.

Anyone else always recast their hyperfixation as dogs /cats or is that just me?

Like I imagine lil animal companions playing alongside my favorite YouTubers all the time. I once cast the entirety of Hamilton as dogs. I'm currently assigning dog breeds to all of hermitcraft as I meet them.

I've pretty much got a dog and a cat for everyone, depending on what I'm more into at the moment, but some have a specific animal

Hugs

Can someone cling to me?

Could I cling to someone?

Just arms tight around me,

Shoulders getting pushed down

Under firm, comforting hands?

I just need it right now.

Not words, not discussion,

But freely given comfort,

The pressure of another person,

Just being there, within reach.

Can I have a hug, please?

I’m cold, tired, hungry and upset,

Will someone just take me in their arms

And tell me it’ll be okay?

#hugs #big hugs #long hugs #wanting hugs #touch starved #is that what this is?#poetry #poem

Because I’ve been listening to ride the cyclone on loop, I offer reader who perished on the roller coaster but didn’t make it to the limbo with the other students.

Just, choir!reader observing the chain from a distance as they fight. The chain have no clue what it is, but has an ongoing feeling of staying on guard as they continue going through from portal to portal

It’s Four who notices them first and just stares before screaming internally, all of the color’s going wild

mushroom 🍄

Not Wind? Who can see ghosts?

Granted- I think Four would make a bigger scene than Wind and it would make for a better story- but I think it would be a bit hard for them to hide from Wind. ^.^*

When I analysed my own reaction to Eps 1&2 of this season, I came to the same conclusion as you - At a subconscious level, I had cast TK as the protagonist and Carlos as the love interest. My intense discomfort to this season so far is definitely rooted in that.

But I don't think it's wrong/bad/a mistake that I ended up with that interpretation. I didn't do it on purpose. That's the way the story was told to me.

In the first two seasons, we learnt about TK's life, history, struggles, family. The only things we saw of Carlos is how he operated as TK's boyfriend. He stumbled sometimes but even those - a) were narrated in terms of how TK was affected and from TK's pov, and b) served as a vehicle to show how perfectly both men complemented each other, in strength and weaknesses. So, for me at least, I liked Carlos not because he was the perfect guy but because he seemed perfect for TK. It was romantic - after everything I knew TK had gone through, that he'd found someone as perfect for him as Carlos. We saw a bit of Carlos' individual traits in S3, but none of those qualities/patterns detracted from him being good for/with TK. When it came to choosing between his own discomfort or TK's wellbeing and happiness, Carlos always prioritised the latter, which may not have been fully realistic or healthy but again fed into my notion of him being the perfect LI for TK.

After the end of S3, I definitely wanted to know more about Carlos. But I realise now that, while I had been open to the idea of learning things I didn't know about him, I hadn't counted on the very basis of why I'd fallen for his character being questioned. So far in S4, what I've seen of Carlos does not make him appear like the 'perfect' fit for TK. His patterns of avoidance/repression are 100% understandable, make him so much more well-rounded as a character, but I suddenly find out that while he's currently not prioritising TK for understandable reasons, his patterns hadn't allowed him to do it in the past either, which was the opposite of what I'd known. And these patterns now open up the possibility of triggering TK's own insecurities about his loved ones hiding things from him.

It's felt a bit like whiplash, receiving this one piece of information that is suddenly making me look at everything differently. I have to get used to the idea of Carlos being more than just the perfect Love Interest. Which is fine, I'd love for his character to grow. But to claim that Carlos has always been more than just a Love Interest is, imo, false. I never got that sense at all in s1-3. Does Carlos (and for that matter all of the 126) deserve Main Character treatment? Absolutely. But that's a Now thing, which will take some getting used to. The audience will react according to how the writers have sold the story. It's perfectly fine to change the narrative, but there will be reactions and there's always a possibility that some people will never be able to fully wrap their heads around the new narrative. Which is also perfectly valid, imo, because that's not the story they thought they'd been following for 3 years now.

Wow. This is a lot and honestly really overwhelming.

First of all, you're very entitled to your opinion and the way you view the show - as am I.

If all you saw Carlos as though the seasons was a love interest for TK - that's fine, that's how you interpreted his character.

But I don't think that I'm false in seeing him as more than someone for TK to stick his dick into. If how each person views the show is valid, then how I personally view the show is valid too, right? Or does that not apply because I see Carlos as more than a love interest?

I get it, I do. We're not given very much about Carlos, he's 2-D and why should we care about him past TK wanting to fuck him? Because obviously that's what he's there for.

TK and Carlos are both wonderful characters. I love them both dearly and they both mean a lot to me in very different ways. To boil either of them down as a "love interest" isn't it. They are BOTH so much more than being a boyfriend to each other.

I never cast Carlos as the love interest, I want that to be clear. I have stated that some parts fandom (maybe I wasn't clear on that) treats him like a love interest. You can ask my friends and check my blog, the way I write him, to see that he's never just been a love interest to me.

It's good you recognize that's where your discomfort comes from though. It's good to be self aware.

I didn't like the secret at first, I've admitted that and have been clear in that but it wasn't because I saw Carlos as some love interest. I felt it was OOC until I looked back at the seasons and analyzed them with this context.

But I don't think it's wrong/bad/a mistake that I ended up with that interpretation. I didn't do it on purpose. That's the way the story was told to me.

You are allowed to interpret the story the way you feel it was told to you. I interpreted the story differently. That's okay. Everyone has their own way of digesting media.

I disagree. I don't think Carlos was just shown as TK's boyfriend. We didn't get a lot of storyline with Carlos but we got some. When he was introduced he was introduced through Michelle - as Michelle's friend. He also had storylines - such as Bad Call where he let the guy go and then followed his gut to find TK when TNT had been kidnapped. We have gotten plenty of glimpses of him being more than just a love interest for TK.

I don't think he's ever just "served as a vehicle to show how perfectly both men complemented each other, in strength and weaknesses"

So, for me at least, I liked Carlos not because he was the perfect guy but because he seemed perfect for TK. It was romantic - after everything I knew TK had gone through, that he'd found someone as perfect for him as Carlos. We saw a bit of Carlos' individual traits in S3, but none of those qualities/patterns detracted from him being good for/with TK. When it came to choosing between his own discomfort or TK's wellbeing and happiness, Carlos always prioritised the latter, which may not have been fully realistic or healthy but again fed into my notion of him being the perfect LI for TK.

Carlos has never been perfect. It has been shown he's not perfect. For example, season 2 when he wasn't upfront with TK about his parents. That's not a perfect boyfriend. It was a bad move and kind of shitty.

I agree that Carlos, most often throughout the seasons, has prioritized TK's comfort but, again, I don't think this boiled him down to a love interest. It was glimpses of his character and who was/is as a person.

Carlos doesn't need to be perfect to be a valid match for TK. His patterns of avoidance have always been here and clear to see, not just in season 4. Again, the episode with his parents.

I agree that I am glad they're making him more well rounded. It's a shame it took 4 seasons to do that.

I'm glad people are uncomfortable with Carlos being more of a person. I'm glad it's challenging how people view him. Because people have put him in a role he hasn't always been in. People have projected onto him like crazy and they should be challenged for their views.

Media is more entertaining when it challenges assumptions.

Like you said, that's your opinion and clearly we have been watching the show and digesting if very differently.

Carlos has never been just a love interest to me. From the beginning he's been more. He's one of my favorite characters. He's always been more than "TK's person."

I never got that sense at all in s1-3. Does Carlos (and for that matter all of the 126) deserve Main Character treatment? Absolutely. But that's a Now thing, which will take some getting used to. The audience will react according to how the writers have sold the story. It's perfectly fine to change the narrative, but there will be reactions and there's always a possibility that some people will never be able to fully wrap their heads around the new narrative. Which is also perfectly valid, imo, because that's not the story they thought they'd been following for 3 years now.

How people perceive a story and make it make sense in their own thoughts that they are entitled to. Their. interpretation of the story is not wrong.

Neither is mine. I don't appreciate my views being labeled as "false" because they don't match up with yours or anyone else's. I'm more than willing to have a discussion about the show, how views differ, etc.
