#lgbt what all at the same time

[uncanny-tranny]

You know, I feel like other trans people might get this, but it's honestly kind of refreshing when a cis person has, like, undeniable tboy/tgirl/whatever swag. It's like when you come across somebody who speaks the same language as you and you only find out when they start speaking it, too.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #all this to say that we are existing on a rock hurling through space #and this universe is going to collide into another and does it all truly matter in the end? #a lot of this is based on ideas we have about what constitutes certain people and i think it can be a fun observation #so long as you do not inherently ascribe certain traits as being indicative of who somebody Is #it can be amusing when you're SO confident that somebody is a certain way until you realize how Wrong you were #the amusement for me only comes because it's like... 'you tried your best to box somebody and you FAILED lmao' #and in a weird way it's kind of comforting because it reminds me that we all come into this world with bias that Will be challenged... #...so the best thing you can do is recognize those biases and then try to overcome them through great effort... #...so yes maybe i did think that cis dude had tboy swag but. that's not inherently his problem you know? #it probably just means he's confident in his manhood in a way that reminds me of the trans men* i know and love #i noticed that in him and it reminded me of my friends who are trans so i think 'oh! maybe that's why he's giving off those vibes!' #so while i won't treat him any differently before or after finding out i was wrong i'm still going to appreciate the fact that... #...he and i are literally just Vibing on the same planet and we both don't have time for petty arguing about manhood #i'll acknowledge what inspired those thoughts in me but that is Not his problem and that's good and beautiful actually #i don't always mind the tboy/tgirl swag meme just so long as you don't treat it like an Inherent Trans Experience Only Trans People Have #just recognize where those ideas are inspired from and it's fine <3 #sometimes you will be Wrong and that's actually fucking neutral <<3 #anyway rant over i just think this is /generally/ harmless and fun #like astrology. sometimes you just look up your star sign without ascribing your Entire Life to it <3 #i think what i lot of people mean by saying a cis person has tboy/tgirl swag is just that... #...that cis person has an understanding of themself that comes from deep introspection that isn't necessarily expected of cis folk... #...but it is often something trans people do as part of our exploration of gender... #how is this the FIRST POST to reach tag limit... ask me for more thoughts if you want lol!

really not a fan of boston very explicitly saying "I want to be exclusive romantically but not sexually" only to be told "You're lying to yourself. I think you should be alone."

#like... p'jojo. you gave us 3wbf??? what's going on bud #only friends the series #ofts #am i misinterpreting boston? did I miss something? is this just a poorly executed representation of something else entirely?? #idk this really just did not sit well with me #i love pretty much everything else in this show so i'm disappointed that this was the last thing we got #bc I've been saying this the whole time!! boston DOES want a romantic relationship and he's spent the whole show coming to terms with that #he really does love nick #and he wants romantic exclusivity (see: Boston getting upset and jealous when Nick is with other people) #but physical stuff doesn't need to have the same exclusiveness for him and that's literally fine #idk i just wish that last conversation had been written slightly differently. a couple different wordings could have fixed it all for me #like if Nick had SAID ''i can't do a non-exclusive relationship but i hope you find someone someday who wants that with you'' #that would have been fine #not ''i think you should be alone'' #idk. just really sat wrong with me #lgbt drama #thai drama #theo.txt #100

'trans men can be lesbian' are you a trans man. genuinely asking cuz uhhh...

anyways id like to say that trans men are men. men.

im going by nonbinary now as of like late ish march this year, but as somebody who identified with being a trans man for 4 years with only one gap of thinking i was genderfluid to try and appease internalized shit, we're men. cant be lesbian.

'well they have a connection to womanhoo-' thats transphobic but alr.

'well history says-' well history SAID that eugenics was good once or twice, does that mean all nazis and shit are valid or like???

trans MEN cant, trans MASCS can. get your shit right.

#al's general discourse #< using that on my non-proshit discourse posts #'genderpolice' nah i might use all pronouns but her but i dont wanna use 'oink/oinks' :3 #'dual-labels arent for ace people!' proceeds to explain an ace/aro experience ive heard time and time again due to mainly being friends wit #guess what #aroace nb lesbians. #that also agree that trans men (ie men) cannot be lesbian/lesbians dont like men. #comphet is valid. #your gender being different from 'the norm' is valid. #pronouns dont equal gender. #also demiboys cant be lesbian because its demiBOY just like transMAN. #uhggggg #also biROMANTIC/SEXUAL homoSEXUAL/ROMANTIC lesbians are vaild you just cant be lesbian/homosexual and bisexual at the same time #oh also if you dont include ace/aro people in lgbt stuff implode -demisexual #my silly little thoughts #alex's queued

Maybe I'm just autistic but I feel like a lot of infighting on this website can be boiled down to "I read a thing a person said about xyz discourse topic and here are all the secret implied messages that person is REALLY saying and by exposing the secret hidden meaning i have proven that people on side x of xyz are evil liars that support the devil" and like. idk man i think acting like everything is a coded message isn't the most helpful. y'know. maybe. maybe treating everything as a matter of ulterior motives doesn't say anything about the other side of the argument but just your own cognitive biases and what you already believe. maybe taking people's words in good faith and asking questions about the things you don't understand, or that don't mesh with how you understand the world, or that fly in the face of known research and facts is good. maybe we should do that instead of ascribing hidden meaning to human people on the internet with beliefs that are different than yours, even when they are flawed or expressed badly, like they are works of fiction up to interpretation.

#despair.txt #literally impossible to search for posts about trans issues without seeing this #everyone is doing this all the time over there #cant go into any tag about transphobia of any kind without seeing shit like this #truly i understand where the instinct comes from i do it myself #we are all humans prone to the same cognitive biases #and we will all do this shit forever #i have to read posts more than once sometimes to understand what op is actually saying #so i dont let my visceral response dictate how i feel and ascribe meaning that isn't there in bad faith #i will continue to do this forever #but oh my god is it exhausting #i really hate that so much discussion about trans issues (or broader lgbt issues) is dominated by bad faith discussion of everyone else #x can never just be x it has to be proof its anti y

People are so shocked that Black folks existed in ancient Rome like my dudes Italy is like 10 feet away from Africa some of it was literally part of the Roman empire don't make me google maps this for you

#they also didn't have the same kind of racism we have in america despite also relying heavily on slave labor #so people of color could be in high social classes and political positions #original #rome sucked but it did have diversity #roman history #ancient rome #the fact that tv and film represent history as monochromatic is because racism. #poc weren't like. invented in the 1980s and neither were lgbt people. time is not a linear progression towards a better world. #hollywood has always been racist and american racism is way worse than the racism of the romans tbh #pretending we are de facto less prejudiced than our ancestors is a mistake. #our society is in many ways less progressive than a lot of ancient cultures #also persian and middle eastern people would have been part of the roman empire at points #most roman slaves were from modern day spain and france if I'm not mistaken #again it was a shitty society that relied on imperialism and slavery #but complaints about 'forced diversity' in historical drama are just modern racism #Carthage #ancient Egypt #edit: that said if someone were to tell me that colorism WAS rampant all throughout the history of ancient rome i would be ZERO % shocked #get FUCKED ancient roman culture! #yeah i said it. what are they gonna do? delenda me? YOOOOOOOO #ancient rome was PROBLEMATIC #HOT TAKES FROM JACK ALERT

i really do wonder how lgbt muslims do it.

#if ur a religious lgbt muslim you’re the strongest person in the universe #if any lgbt muslim mutuals see this. this is a literal cry for help any words of explanation consolation etc would be duly appreciated #discussions would be appreciated. sources and scholars you listen to would be appreciated #As a bi ‘muslim’ I just don’t know how to reconcile w my faith without being under 50 layers of denial about it #why is EVERYONE homophobic and etc. I’ve known so many ppl who start out trying to b respectful then the more religious they got the more #bigoted they became. #i just don’t know what to think. this religion just makes me feel nothing but guilty ashamed suppressed etc #but at the same time i cant not be muslim. so basically #I’m just gonna be stuck in the middle forever and ever and ever feeling this way. <3 #i dont try to be ignorant but every single religious muslim in my life tests me every single day ever #even if I wanted to be religious. how would i even be able to do it? #my parents give me endless shit over how I’m not religious enough all the time. they control me more than is necessary bc of it. how do i #stop it all #Will I just be a disappointed muslim for the rest of my life #💭.txt #/ #vent

unpopular opinion but a ship being queer coded doesn't make it compelling

#the dynamic between the characters‚ on another hand‚ does! #sometimes ships from certain media are carried by 'queer coding' instead of being relevant because of the actual relationship #that‚ to me‚ means very little #what does it matter if their colours compliment each other or that their names are intended to hint at something if the relationship in #the story fails to portray anything romance-like or their dynamic is just poorly written? #i could go on a tangent here because this is coming from me wanting to rant about a specific genshin ship but i will shut up #i just want to be a hater #i don't even hate the ship itself it's the fans who take scenes out of context and depth from the characters to make the narrative fit #also the constant idea in fandoms that friendships/platonic relationships can't have depth or be the reason someone cares deeply for #somebody else. or even the idea platonic feelings can't be complicated. #i think it's also hard for me to swallow every genshin ship because it's obvious they use queer coding without compromise as a way to #profit with both the staights and the lgbts but whatever #yes i am aware of the censorship but i'm also aware they're a multi-millionaire company that keeps repeating the same 'formula' #for marketing everytime new characters are released... and it works. #genshin will never be as gay as actual gay media from gay creators and i think people have a hard time grasping that #a bit unrelated to my original point but also not really because i do think it influences the way people interact with the story #i'm not trying to say people can't have fun by the way 😂 #this all started because i dislike a popular ship and that makes you feel like you're somehow missing a few screws #how come i'm the only right person here 🤣 (joking)

Just saw this on Quora and wtf:

I may not like Madoka Magica(and in fact anyone who follows me for long enough will know that I hate that anime with a burning passion), but even so that still doesn't make comments like this okay.

I am so tired of people acting like lesbianism(and non-straight identities in general but in this case we're talking about lesbians) is inherently sexual, deviant, and inappropriate. These are the same type of people who think that kids can't be gay or even be told about the possibility of homosexuality because it will groom their young minds or something, as if being gay is something you're groomed into being. And I am sick of people acting like a character can't be gay/lesbian because it doesn't fit their personality or because they're a child or because they're "innocent" or some stupid-ass shit like you're just reinforcing the idea that straight is the default and that straight is morally more pure and "normal" and acceptable than being gay. I bet Larry Koopa doesn't care if a kid the same age as or younger than Madoka(who is 14) is portrayed as straight, because to them that's not inherently sexual the way that being gay is. But a kid being gay? Now don't you think that's going a little bit too far?

This person definitely thinks that all lesbians are mean and hateful and bitter, probably because they measure a woman's level of decency in accordance to how attracted to men they are(which is how we got that ugly fucking "mean bisexual, even meaner lesbian" joke in the first place).

I agree with Peyton Peyons. Madoka is a lesbian, end of story, and nobody gives a shit whether you want to call her your waifu or not, because she doesn't even know you exist. Get out of her, dawg.

#ofc pmmm is hardly where i look for GOOD lesbian representation #since the writers are a bunch of rancid male creeps who were inspired by eroge to write this show #and when asked if homura is in love with madoka the old bat said 'probably' bro did you watch your own show 😭 #but that's not the topic for today if you want to see me hate on madoka magica just head on over to justanisabelakinnie #but i will always defend the right to lesbian characters' validity no matter what shitty show they're from #madoka and homura are big lesbians deal with it shut up and grow up #lesbian #lesbophobia #fandom lesbophobia #lesbian erasure #oh boo hoo you're mad because you can't simp for a teenage lesbian so you have to make up this lie about how she can't be a lesbian because #YOU like her and only mean ugly girls who i don't want to fuck get to be lesbians! #how dare people get mad at me for lesbian erasure! #gross #get a grip #other fans being mad at you for this is probably--no DEFINITELY--like the only good thing that the pmmm fandom has ever done #in the time since its inception #op #this person would have a trip if he saw my ocs who are all younger than/the same age as madoka and lgbt #most of them LESBIANS(and a lot of them transfem too) #go swim in a lego pool #what a fucking joke

I totally get gendered petnames like dude, sis, bro, and whatever else, and I get why some people might be confused as to why some trans people might take issue with a petname you might think is neutral. However, I do want people to remember that trans people often have different relationships with those petnames because they're gendered, and they might be uncomfortable with those connotations. A trans woman who doesn't want you to call her "dude" is probably not doing it to anger or accuse you of anything, but she might just have a negative relationship with that word.

I get that it can be hard to change habits, but it is worth it to include trans people. If a trans person in your life asks you not to use certain words, I promise they aren't trying to fuck you over or make you feel like you're under attack. They are just expressing a boundary - one that cis people also express.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #the example i gave is again just one instance of what i'm talking about #i can get why it's hard like... i use 'bro' and shit like it's a filler word and it's a habit of mine #however it isn't anybody's fault that i'm like that and i'm more than willing to stop using it for somebody #because it's like... that word is just a word to me and that means i can abandon its use at any time #and if not using it means that somebody feels included then fuck yeah i'm going to not use it #i just hear people weirdly antagonizing trans people for setting these boundaries and it's like... #...have you MET a cis person because they do the same things as trans people (it's just seen as more acceptable ig) #it IS annoying that people want to have the same conversations again and again and again #because ngl i only made this post because of the antagonism these trans people face for... no reason??? #they're literally going 'please don't call me [x]' and yet that is still too polarizing????????? HUH?????? #you'd think that that trans person like... ran a car through a bank with how they're treated but no... they're just stating a preference #and it's crazy to me because it's EASY to not do... because it's a non-action. and if you fuck up all you have to do is apologize #the hardest thing to do would be to watch what you're saying a little more but that's like... not a big deal???????

the average twitter user's reading comprehension level is still lower than tumblr's, therefore the natural order hadn't been disrupted yet

#people when they hear anything adjacent to #“you can be critical of media and point out the flaws whilst still enjoying it however you can” #and suddenly think you're being a stick in the mud. no if i was being a stick in the mud i'd scream in your face about how you should feel #like shit for ever liking anything ever. #some people's ideas of fun are analysis and reviews and criticism. it's about seeing whatever elements make it work #or what elements showcase a bias or prejudice you otherwise could've missed. #telling people they shouldn't enjoy their favorite media is horrible and you'd be an absolute dick for it #but at the same time we can't just stick to mindlessly absorbing stuff so our brains rot and all sense flies out the window #your favorite media - guess what - is not above criticism. whether it's pacing or prejudices or the writing.. everything has its weak point #mine - borderlands - for example; insane amounts of racism. enemy classes entitled with slurs. its treatment of poc and lgbt characters. #absolute fucking mess of a franchise. i still love it for other reasons obviously but it has a lot of bad shit in it. and that's okay. #point is: you have to realize that your fave media is going to have some rancid shit in it. unless it's mlp or something. #- wedposting ]

My greatest hope for 2023 (besides the tripledemic calming the fuck down)?

Consensual romance stories (hetero and lgbt+).

I’m SO SICK of these stalker, SAer, manipulative fucks

Bury em in the back with me, girlies, and let’s plant some mushrooms

#we all fucking know it’s horrible modelling for the youngins #which makes them compliant in Su’s relationships and takes years to learn and accept what happened #I’m not saying we’re responsible for their sex education. that’s mostly on their parents and school #BUT. NOT propping up these despicable stories/characters is a fucking start #I take no criticism at this time. there’s no reason we shouldn’t have HEALTHY and CONSENSUAL relationships propped up to the same if not #more of a degree as all these other things #2023 #consensual relationships #Herero #lgbt

i want stories about autistic queers and morally grey queers who make mistakes and have actual character flaws and queers of colour and physically disabled queers and loveless acearos. give me stories about queer people with mental illnesses other than cookie-cutter media portrayals of depression and anxiety that can be “fixed” by a love interest. give me queer people with tourette’s and DID. give me intersex people who struggle with their identity after years of being told they’re cis. give me fat queers. give me drag kings and queens who feel like they can only be themselves in gay bars. give me chronically ill queers and trans characters who don’t want to physically transition and nonbinary characters who use neopronouns.

i want queer stories that make cishet people uncomfortable. i want queer characters who aren’t just copy and pasted from every other queer character for representation points. i want queer characters who are people.

#lgbt #queer #pride #i’m sorry i saw a post about a lot of queer rep being copy and pasted from straight love stories and i just. #i WANT rep but i don’t want it all to be the same uwu high school sweethearts story that we’ve seen a million times over #i want queer characters to be PEOPLE not just the same white boy characters with different names #as an autistic nonbinary i barely see people like MYSELF represented #and I’m white and able bodied!!! what about the poc and disabled and other neurodivergencies- #-who have to reach to find themselves in queer media at all?? #if no one’s gonna write queer people as realistic diverse people i’ll fucking write it myself by god i will #this is a rant i’m sorry

#sighhhh bcs on one hand i enjoy working in schools and its provides job security that i *need* and theres not enough lgbt ppl in schools rn #on the other hand i know my passion lies in community work and social health care. and working with lgbt kids. #but on the third hand. i wanna get a doctorate. which would bring absolutely nothing to either of these options #except for a lot of student debt and getting to add 'phd' to all my signatures #but i love research and gender studies and i think i could do it. i think i could bring smt to the field if i tried. #at the same time tho. i feel like im spending too much time thinking about my career and not enough time worrying about my social life #bcs at this point um. i think i will be lonely forever lol and whats the point of a phd if im gonna end up kms out of sorrow. #🏹
