#idk i have thoughts about the 'binar v. nonbinary' distinction. i think there is a reason#that trans people get degendered when they use binary pronouns#AND wrongly gendered when they use use gender neutral pronouns#for example

i'm intrigued by these thoughts would you like to share more about these thoughts

I think I'd boil it down to like... specifically the idea of "binary trans" people as a class.

I very firmly believe that the oppression of nonbinary people ("exorsexism") exists and is a real form of oppression, and I believe that experiences with it- and the ideological foundation it rests on- are unique and worth discussing. I think nonbinary people have unique experiences with oppression that are necessary to listen to and understand, and that it is to everyone's benefit to include in those perspectives in larger conversations around trans justice.

I specifically take issue with the idea that there is a group of people that can easily & universally be differentiated as "binary trans" in anything but how those people personally identify.

I think that, socio-politically speaking, the only people that are truly classed as "binary" are 100% gender-conforming dyadic cis people. When we're talking about transphobia as a concept, we're talking about a system of oppression meant to punish people who stray from the gender binary. Historically, anyone punished under this system was included under the "trans" umbrella: gender-non conforming cis people, drag kings and queens, nonbinary people, intersex people, you name it. We are all gender outlaws; we all exist outside traditional understandings of gender, and we are all punished for doing so.

Now, we can narrow the scope quite a bit; I do still have the ability to "pass" as my gender, which is not an option to a lot of nonbinary folks. I can get a gender marker that accurately reflects my gender, and I can go "stealth" in a way that doesn't cause me a lot of dysphoria. I absolutely acknowledge that there are experiences I do not have, and oppression I do not face, and I should take care to listen to the people who do face them.

The problem for me here is that like, none of those things are exclusively "binary trans" experiences either. Plenty of nonbinary people are not strictly outside of every binary gender, or outside of comfort with a binary gender presentation. Such is the enormous multitude of nonbinary identities, and the unknowable vastness of human experience.

The other, perhaps larger problem for me is that I also do not strictly have a "binary trans male" experience. I mean, least of all because I have still at this point spent more of my life identifying as nonbinary than I have as a trans man- but also because I'm still trans. In a lot of ways, I'm not actually viewed as "binary"; I am clock-able enough that I'm pretty regularly degendered by even incredibly well-intentioned cis people, for example. My grandma is confused about my gay relationship; she very much does not think it is gay or straight. Anyone who knows I'm a trans man does not think of me as a woman or a man; they think of me as something entirely outside of the binary, and they treat me accordingly.

To go back to the tag you're quoting: I think binary trans people using binary pronouns are degendered for the exact same reason that nonbinary using gender-neutral pronouns are misgendered. People don't want to recognize us as the genders we are. They don't want to validate an experience of gender that lies outside their tidy little gender binary.

Again: this doesn't mean that exorsexism isn't real, or even that "there is no such thing as a binary trans woman/man". That's not what I'm saying. I want to keep having discussions about the unique experiences nonbinary people have, and the unique ways in which transphobic society treats and targets them, and the unique oppression they suffer, and why, and how we can fight that.

I also don't think I'm the first person by far to point out that maybe the idea of The Binary Trans Experience should be problematized a little bit, and I think there's something to be said for the funky space that "binary trans people" occupy on the good-little-gender-conforming-cis-person to nonbinary continuum.

#if anyone uses this to justify erasure of nonbinary people or oppression #i just want you to know that i am shooting you with a gun.

Thinking about how Izzy blames himself for so much that isn't his fault and eating my own hands about it.

#ofmd #izzy hands #'we did this to him' he says #izzy neither you or stede are to blame for ed going on a murder spree #neither of you made him stack up a series of passive suicide plans that endangered everyone around him #'serves me right' izzy honey #nothing you said to ed made him cut off your toes or shoot you or justified those actions #'think twice before not doing his fucking job' #IZZY. you didn't fail at your job because keeping ed stable and safe for others was never your job #i know you think it was #damn i made myself sad in the tags

i feel like the general perception of raylan and boyd is like two sides of a coin - the one who made it out and overcame the poverty and the crime and the abusive father, and the one who stayed and succumbed to those things. my counterpoint, however, is that they're jusy like. a normal coin vs one you left on the train track - they're the same, deep down. because boyd isn't actually evil and he hated his father just as much as raylan and he got out from under his father's thumb, if not the town. and raylan - he's not actually a wholly good, completely opposite person to boyd. he's morally grey (at best). he takes on a lot more from arlo than first meets the eye. and really - he didn't get out. he's tied to harlan just the same as boyd, who also went away for a spell (iraq) and came back anyways cus he had nowhere else to go.

so yeah, they're the same coin. boyd's just a bit more visibly flattened by the weight of it all.

#THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE COMPREHENSIBLE the thoughts have just been circling my brain #like sure narrative foils. but also boyd isn't evil and raylan is not a good person and um. #when boyd said damn raylan you shouldve been a criminal you could just shoot people and be an asshole without the paperwork. yeag #justified #boyd crowder #raylan givens

Every few days it hits me that DJenks had absolutely no idea what he was doing when he decided to have Izzy assume responsibility for every bad thing Ed had done, including doing him grievous, permanent physical harm, and it's just so wild to me.

#I just don't get it! I don't see how that's in anyway justifiable! I don't understand how he could think that way! #I can't believe no one in the writers room said anything! #“Sorry I made you cut off my toes and shoot me in the leg which resulted in it having to be amputated. I shouldn't have done that.” Just !! #ofmd critical #ofmd

just saw justified but in space (the mandalorian chapter 9: the marshal)

#everything is a justified reference #the mining town #escaping from your small town and returning a marshal who can shoot #“i'll put a hole through you” as a threat #that entire “you will not die by my hand” scene has some parallels with the justified s4 finale #cobb vanth is the guy who walks into a bar #“...and then is see the little guy...” din djarin IS the sentimental type #justified #the mandalorian #cobb vanth #raylan givens #timothy olyphant

   The US set a chilling record earlier this month amid a spate of recent mass shootings: This year marks the third in a row that the country has recorded more than 600 multiple-victim shootings, according to gun violence data.    The Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs that left five people dead and 17 wounded on Sunday marked the 601st mass incident in 2022, according to The Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that tracks and records shootings and gun violence throughout the country.    The archive calls mass shootings an "American phenomenon," and defines the incidents as any attack in which there are at least four victims shot, injured, or killed by a gun, excluding the perpetrator.

saying “israel has the right to defend itself” is crazy considering israel were the ones who stole palestinian land in the first place and have been continuously committing genocide against the palestinian people for almost a century

and sign the fucking petition please 🙏🏼

#if we’re gonna be doing cause and effect here #all israeli blood spilled by hamas is on israel’s hands #just like that one palestinian advocate said on tv two or so weeks ago #israel is shooting fish into a barrel and being upset when it splashes #and this isn’t even really about hamas at all #it is just another excuse israel can use to justify their own version of the holocaust #which is already starkly similar to the one they suffered under 80 years ago #free palestine #free gaza #israel #hamas #genocide #free west bank #petition #palestine

5 ask game: au where Aizawa gets shot with a quirk erasing bullet during the Overhaul arc

Ok so the main obstacle here of course is I don't want Izuku to die, like, five minutes later. Perhaps my special little guy can stop this.

1- Lets say when Chisaki grabbed Nemoto to pull a fusion, Nemoto's gun was caught up in all this too. This doesn't matter until after he's been beaten and thrown to the side, and watches Eri and Izuku struggle in the middle of the crater. Asui brings Aizawa up, and Chisaki knows that if Eraser stops them, they're all taken for good. So he shoots at Eraser- and its a hit.

2- A moment later, a swordfish pierces his shoulder, but the damage is done. Asui shouts. Izuku screams. Eri wails. Amajiki "Do i have to do everything around here myself" Tamaki "the only big three who actually takes out a third of the expendables and the top brass on his own" Suneater picks up the gun to crush it. Then he looks at the sobbing Eri, and thinks about how Mirio wanted her to smile. "I'm sorry," he whispers to no one, and fires- the first one's a miss, he's not as good a mark as Chisaki. But he is one of Snipe's students, and the second one hits.

3- Since the bullets are made from her own quirk, Eri reacts.... differently to them. It doesn't rewind her as much as it gives her a reset. her horn shrinks but doesn't vanish, and the effort catches up to her as she passes out on top of Izuku.

4- Suneater crushes the gun, then starts trying to find the cure bullets in Chisaki's jacket, but frankly his second wind cast by Mirio's distress is running out so he ends up dragged to an ambulance while the police bag evidence. In a true stroke of genius, they do not transport Chisaki with all of his weapons and bullets, so Tomura doesn't grab them when he takes the man's arms.

5- In the hospital, they don't exactly want to just take Chisaki's word for the cure bullets and jab who-knows-what into Aizawa and Mirio, so they very carefully start studying one first. Unfortunately, Ujiko hears about this and nabs the other cure bullets. (much easier than trying to nab Eri.) Tomura and AfO won't be able to use the eraser bullets in any plans (no baby-afo fight) but they will try to ransom the cure at least. Tamaki attempts to give back his hero license and withdraw from the school, but Nedzu stalls him then guilts him into staying because for reasons beyond the teen's comprehension, Eri actually really likes him and with no erasure to stop her quirk if it goes out of control, they need anything they can get to help. Aizawa continues teaching because if being in full body cast didn't stop him, losing his quirk won't either, and Mirio is like 'well hold on a minute. if he's not stopping, why should i?' and continues training at school while quirkless, even if his actual work outside of school isn't happening anymore.

#its awk there between mirio and tamaki there obvi. not bc of mirio so much but tamaki can project issues youve never dreamed of #and i mean. 'the first mayyyyyybe justifiable case of shooting a child' sure is an Issue #also eri is like 'oh thank god lemillion's friend can be trusted to stop my quirk at all costs' and tamaki is like 'jesus please do not fee #more comfortable around me because of that!!!!!!!!' #but its a good thing he stayed. not just because they cant work through All Of Those Issues if he goes but also because i mean #with all the effort needed to keep Eri at ua and not in. say. commission hands as they excert more control over the school #i dont really want to know what tamaki's options would have been if he left too #best case its like the mandatory internship where he cant give back his lisence just in case. worst case its 'hey hawks do u think this #depressed teenager could get you an in with the lov hes probably in their target demographic right' #anyway. #anon #pocket talks to people #ask game

objectively best trope in fantasy is when everyone has normal ass typical weapons for the genre and then there's one guy who just Has A Fucking Gun. for some reason

#this is about tales of arise. btw #<- justified since renans are pretty technologically advanced but it's still so fucking funny to me #everyone else in the party with normal fucking fantasy weapons and shionne just. has a sniper rifle. that can shoot fire #also about shadow the hedgehog if you really wanna stretch the definition of fantasy
