it's all well and good to whine about being strawmanned but genuinely you lose literally any ground you had to stand on when you insinuate that it's m*sogynistic to dislike mystra and straight up lie about stuff that literally happens in the game. buddy no one has an obligation to take anything you say seriously after you try to invalidate that gale was gr***** at all based on larian not being able to stick to dnd lore and your stale as mouldy bread take about people who dislike mystra and actually like gale for who he is.

#tbd #fandom wank #my sleep cycle is fucked and i'm tired of you clowns #there's more than enough in the game to support that she did the bad #so literally go fuck yourself. #from the bottom of my heart people who dislike gale for whatever fucking reason no matter how shallow or deep are more valid than you #there are far better nuanced opinions about gale's flaws in this fandom that don't rely on white knighting the shitty goddess #also: boiling gale's arc down to his hubris is such a rancid and shallow puddle of a read #and accusing those who again are more than valid for disliking her of m*sogyny is the rotting leaf in that puddle #and if i have to see it in the tags i'm going to clown on it lol #anyway bye gotta go work on my next strawman to rally my followers & puff up it up to gain some more tumblr dot com clout #while i cackle diabolically and stroke my floofy lap cat's little head #grooming tw

The anti-intellectualism on this website truely knows no bounds.

#sorry this post was sparked by someone who was like ‘if you went to an ivy legue school you’re a ruch fuck’ #and then went on to assume that none of them know how to wash dishes or that they all want to be politicians #well i went to an ivy on a full ride scholarship which i worked my ass off for to study structural engineering #and i want to work designing bridges railroads and other public intrastructure #also rn i’m living paycheck to paycheck #so literally go fuck yourself. #my classes had a lot of rich assholes in them yeah but there were also a ton of kids who were also on scholarship or in exchange programs #and i’m so greatful that i got to go to such a resource rich university and meet so many wonderful people there #sorry you met a business major once and assumed all ivy legue grads were like that. but the largest major at my university was agriculture #me

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?

I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?

In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".

Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.

This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.

Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.

The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.

This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]

As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.

But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?

Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.

Realizing you can never please anybody can be a devastating loss... until you internalize exactly what that means.

When you sacrifice so much of yourself for others, you forget that you leave yourself behind. Not being able to please everybody means you can start learning how to fully embody who you are instead of juggling everybody else's baggage, trying to make something work out.

You might feel devastated about this, thinking you're terrible for not pleasing everybody. The truth is, it was impossible from the start, and learning who you are is infinitely rewarding

#mental health #encouragement #encouraging words #people-pleasing is honestly (in my experience) the most soul-crushing things out there #and i wish more and more people could learn how to let go of the impulse to self-persecute... #...and to let go of the idea that literally the *entire world* comes before them #i think the thing that really set me on this path was realizing that few people would do what i did... #...that they would see that nobody is fighting their corning *including them*... #...and that few people will actually fight your corner *for* you... #...and part of that realization enraged me because it's like... everybody abandons you INCLUDING yourself... #...so you think 'how the fuck didn't i realize that?' and you start to question more and more the reasons you internalized the message... #...that literally everybody matters more than you ever will... #...part of that for me stems from deep systematic abuse and part of it is cultural... #...so you'll find that your drives to do certain things have differwnt influences and some are perfectly fine... #...while others are destroying and depressing and horrific

I don't know how much more explicit the message of "THIS IS GROOMING" could have been without Be On Cloud superimposing it in all-caps text over every one of Non and his teacher's scenes. People interpreting that as "cheating" are cracked in the fucking head.

#dead friend forever #dff the series #barcode fucking killed those scenes!!! the desperation and discomfort and resignation!?!! #the fact that Non was textually terrified of dying at the hands of Tee's uncles gang unless he found that money #and once he accepted it and Keng held that power over him did he lean in to kiss him. #theres a reason that even universoty professors are fired for having relationships with their ADULT students. #because holding a position of institutional power over someone like that in a relationship is deeply deeply disfunctional and bad #do you think that if you were a child that felt they had literally nowhere else to turn. not to parents. or friends. or partner. #and a teacher said they would fix all your problems in a room with a closed door and kissed you. #you wouldnt feel obligated to kiss back and offer yourself up in exchange??? #because what?? you're too moral??? you'd rather die??? #THIS IS HOW GROOMING HAPPENS. ITS ADULTS SEEKING OUT THE MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLE IN THEIR CLASSES AND HOLDING SOMETHING OVER THEM. #IF I SEE ANYONE CALLING NON A CHEATER AGAIN I AM GOING TO KILL. #ITS STATUTORY RAPE. YOU THICK FUCKS. #KENG MADE HIM KEEP HIS SCHOOL UNIFORM ON. HE'S A FUCKING PEDOPHILE. #IM GOING TO KILL. #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SOME OF YALL ARE THE STUPIDEST MOTHERFUCKERS AROUND. YOURE STUPID. YOURE SO FUCKING DUMB. GODDDDDDDDDDDDD

I was reading some aspiring authors personal excerpt about how furious she is with the pervasiveness of misogyny in society & mens refusal to take it seriously, & it resonated so I was considering giving her book a try for a minute but then I get to the end of the post and the fucking tags are like "reminder that I am non-binary and use they/them pronouns so don't get weird in the replies"...I just can't deal with these people they're like a bad joke that came to life and gained (partial) sentience

#how can you be that aware of sexism & how it affects you personally & then still go ''not a woman tho lol!'' #be so real do you think men will stop being sexist towards you once you give them your pronouns #you think youre unique for not liking the role they cast you in? most of us dont join the fucking club #the seven layers of cognitive dissonence clouding your view of yourself on such a fundamentally basic level when #your entire job is dependant on being insightful about these things. #as a writer/poet who is very selfward facing the way her stuff was the ONLY way to be great is to be brutally honest about yourself #like dig deep go to places you dont want to go make yourself uncomfortable & give yourself a mental breakdown levels of self psychoanalyzin #this is what she should be doing. and homegirl cant even admit shes a fucking WOMAN #like its funny honestly but also quite sad. gender ideology is literally melting the minds of the masses

all the while society conflates "being an adult" with "having a proper job" and "having money to make arbitrary Adult Purchases" disabled people who can't work - or can only work part time or can only do entry level baby jobs - will never be 'allowed' to be adults

you can say "being an adult is looking after yourself you don't have to have a job!!!" all you want but most people who say that will still assume anybody who doesn't either can't or won't 'look after themselves' actually. and every 'marker' of 'adulthood' that's observable and thus actually counts or whatever loops back around to... having a job and 'contributing' something
