I saw a comment on a post that made me a little angry. I decided to just block that person, but I need to vent about how it's transphobic.
For context, this commenter was complaining about the poc, intersex, and trans inclusive lgbtq+ flag used in the post.
[Photo ID: a cropped screenshot of a comment that says "I myself am a happily bisexual ace, but I do feel a little uncomfortable around trans ppl (sorry if it offends U but whatever). And if I voice my concern, suddenly I'm the villain" End ID]
Yeah. You know why you're seen as a villain? Because being uncomfortable around trans people is fucking transphobic. "Trans people make me uncomfortable!" Well, boo fucking hoo. I'm so sorry the evil transgenders existing where you can see them makes you uncomfortable /s
We did not ask to be born the way we are. We are trying to be comfortable in the bodies we were born in. We are trying to live our lives in peace. If you are uncomfortable around an entire minority group, I need you to take a good long look in the mirror and ask yourself why that is. Why does the existence of a minority make you uncomfortable? It sounds to me like you are transphobic, and you need to work on that.
It is racist to say black people make you uncomfortable. It is homophobic to say gay people make you uncomfortable. And it is transphobic to say trans people make you uncomfortable.
"If I voice my concern, suddenly I'm the villain." So you're saying that seeing a trans inclusive lgbtq+ flag makes you uncomfortable, so you say, "Hey, trans people make me uncomfortable. Can we just use the standard rainbow flag?" So, you're trying to persuade people into not using a pride flag, not because of any valid concern, but because you hate the fact that it is explicitly including a part of the community.
My response? Yup, you guessed it! That's transphobia! You are being transphobic. And being a bigot is a surefire way of being seen as a villain, especially in the eyes of those you are bigoted toward.
Address your biases and stop whining about how your transphobia gets you labeled as a villain. You are capable of not being transphobic. Trans people aren't capable of not being trans. We can't change how we are. You can either learn to accept our existence, or you can stay the fuck away. We are an integral part of the lgbtq+ community, whether you like it or not.

ugh I reallllyyyyy didn’t want to get in on this but like
The assumption that all atheists are people who’ve “never touched a religious text in their life” basically says to me you have a specific view of atheists and have probably not known many.
Most of them grew up IN the system and DO know the text and THAT’S why they walk away.
If you’re gonna make a whole post on ppl not using nuance with CR stuff right now the least you can do is use nuance yourself and not paint an entire group of people with a brush that TV taught you, or a bunch of white men into power *cough* Dawkins *cough* coopted a movement in a society where to not believe in god is synonymous with being immoral.
So just keep in mind, the representation of people without faith that you see on TV or twitter isn’t the majority and 9 times out of 10 isn’t correct at all.
thanks ^_^

Another new blog… it’s been about a year since I deleted my blog. The one I’ve had since I was 18. The one I grew up with. The one I vented on, posted countless pictures of myself, learned about myself. And holy fuck, the amount of shit that has happened in the last year is intense.
I got divorced. C put me through the wringer. I didn’t know if I would make it out, but I’m doing so much better than I ever imagined. He continues to show his true colors - he got engaged less than a year after we separated, his fiancée has attempted to get into a yelling match with me, he continues to put our daughter at risk, amongst a whole list of things he’s done. I’ve learned the art of disengagement and it’s so healing (also, I finished therapy and my therapist told me how much healthier I am now mentally)
I got a new job. I think this happened prior to me deleting my old tumblr. Doesn’t matter as much. BUT I work when I want, and can spend any and all my time with my daughter which has been a complete life changer. Leaving the only job I’ve known for 10 years hurt more than I expected, especially since it wasn’t planned, and I was basically booted out of there due to them just absolutely trying to destroy me, but it was such a godsend of a misfortune.
I sold my house. C’s only claim to hurt me was the house (other than our daughter that we share). He didn’t own it, but wanted a piece of it in the divorce because it was worth a lot in equity. I just said fuck it, sold it, rebuilt my life, and I’m now looking at houses with my partner.
I got a new boyfriend. He’s an absolute gem of a human. He’s made me realize what I want in a partner. He’s made me realize I’m not nonmonogamous. He’s made me realize that I can have a partner that fulfills me in every sense of the term. He loves me, he loves my daughter, and he puts up with the crazy that occurs in my life.
I don’t know if I’ll actually be on tumblr like I used to be. I deleted all social media, except Instagram, because I found out C was stalking me (and even after I locked all my accounts, he made fake ones - which, at 30 years old and as the man who wanted to end the relationship and was cheating on me, is a little obsessive). I just wanted to restart fresh. I’m so happy with life, I’ve never been so full of love and hope and just life in general, and thus, I’m back, I guess?

Maybe it’s my fear of not being believed but I literally can’t do comedy where the other person isn’t being believed. Straight up, at first I would get stressed when the Human Centipede clip was going around. Like, do you know how terrifying it is to be in a wild ass date where you think you’re in danger and the waiter notices but has they have to open their mouth so now you have lie. Or the Elmo Rocko memes like, OF COURSE ELMO’S DISTRESSED! I WOULD BE TOO! LIKE EVERYONE IS TELLING YOU THIS ROCK IS REAL WHEN IT’S NOT(and like yah I’m sure there’s nuance to the situation but like COME ON).
Or Bibi from La Familia Peluche, I remember liking the show as kid and I still do but like, fuck man, the borderline emotional abuse than girl goes through IS WILD. LIKE EVERYONE FUCKING TELLING YOU THAT YOU’RE NOT NORMAL AND FEELING LIKE YOU’RE GOING CRAZY. I remember rewatching La Familia Peluche in Highschool and like fuck man, that period episode. Or to this day I remember the scene where they were serving food and she started to eat first and her family chastised her so she stops but then they make her feel back cause she already started so now she just continue to eat it and like I’ve literally been in a similar situation. And for those who haven’t watched the show, the whole shitck is that this is an absurd world where everyone works on a different level and Bibi’s the only who reacts normally to our eyes(the comedic straight man to alot of the jokes), which leads to the iconic line “Bibi porque no eres una niña normal”(Bibi why aren’t you a normal girl) that is said in every episode. Which from a dramatic irony perspective that we the audience know she’s the only normal person, makes it a funny joke, but if you think about it too hard, it’s so fucking sad, I just can’t help but not fully enjoy the show cause I just constantly feel bad for her.
Fuck even watching HALF LIFE VR BUT THE AI IS SELF AWARE FUCKS WITH ME! Like yes I very much enjoy the series! But, most of the time I’m just feeling bad for Gordon, like fuck man, I’d react the same way, wouldn’t you. Like ESPECIALLY BENRY! MAN DID HE STRESS ME OUT! I genuinely felt so bad for Gordon!
And then this slides into how I can’t enjoy alot of comedy(especially cringe humor) cause even though I understand the joke and think it funny on paper, I just end up feeling too bad for the character to actually enjoy. And it’s awful because I’ll STILL watch the shows because I’m invested in the characters not the humor if that makes sense??? (Oh, Community/The Office, the hate love relationship I have with you).
Anyway, yes I’m so fun to watch comedy with, I literally can’t be in the same room from some scenes. And yes, all my favorite characters follow the Only Sane Man trope, why’d you ask?

VICTOR FAGGENSTEIN. do you support walton and victor because there was some strong homoerotic rambling
YES I DO and OHHH MY GOD walton was so obvious like he was like ohhh i want a very very close male friend with whom i can share EVERYTHING…..oh look at this HOT TWINK i found in the arctic circle…let me nurse him back to health and write letters to my sister gushing about how cool and beautiful and smart and awesome and did i mention how beautiful he is….like it is impossible to read that and NOT assume walton was fruity. also it still cracks me up how literally every man in this book wants victor his tragic sickly and gaunt nature has captivated them… i could go on and on about how gay everyone in this book is but tbh walton is the most obvious about it like take a shot every time he calls victor attractive youre gonna get WASTED and victor obviously has some sorta thing for him too bc he literally didnt tell anyone in his entire life about the creature but then he spills his whole ass life story to this random guy who rescued him from the arctic?? like thats a lil fruity….i think hes still preoccupied with henry and his death because omfg they were such faggots for each other i could go on and on (and also victor literally says to walton something like “no man can ever be to me as henry was” like HELLO??? that is impossible to interpret in a straight manner) so hes not like really invested in walton i think plus all the stuff with still chasing the creature and also being like near death so hes pretty distracted but apart from all that he and walton definitely had something going on i think they probably kissed at some point during all that storytelling tbh. okay im done now 💖💖💖

i think it's sad how little empathy kids tend to have these days. the other day, i was walking down a flight of stairs at my school when a random 11-year-old boy tapped my arm and asked "are you gay?". now, i thought he was saying "are you okay", and nodded (nothing wrong with being gay! i'm just not one to tell my sexuality to random kids who interrogate me). then, he began hollering the f-slur and yelling that everyone should get away from me. it's sad that literal children are so used to throwing around language like that and making jokes out of what is just plain hate speech. we're all human beings. i don't see why differences like that should matter.

k so first of all i really loved s2. it felt like s1 but if only neil wrote it instead of neil and terry which...is pretty much what happened. can’t expect any better than that (and i think the spirit of terry posessed neil for some of those jokes which was lovely). regarding crowley and aziraphale...this is what i have been SAYING for a long time honestly queer romances absolutely SHOULD be angsty and slow burn and queer characters SHOULD be dumbasses. and i was genuinely concerned in our world of queer tokenism that the era of well written queer romance was going to be stuck in the land of queerbait from the 2010s. frankly? did i think neil was going to actually do it? no. but he did and it was so well written because he treated it like an actual relationship between two people instead of a token look at us we r so progressive uncomplicated gay romance that has frankly been inundating queer media recently and which is very much not my cup of tea. the thing i think you can always say about neil is that he genuinely believes that relationships should be treated like relationships in writing no matter what the type and that assigning labels (while certainly important in many situations) can cloud what is important in a story by reducing the relationship to it’s apparent definition. he didn’t do that here and it was so great and i am really really impressed and happy. go stream s2! lets convince amazon to pay everyone more to make s3!

Love the inherent distrust I’ll always have to have of cis queer men as a gaytrans man. /s
Head over heels for this dude in my class but the back of my mind won’t let me relax abt how we rlly only started talking more after I talked abt being trans.
I wanna let myself like him so bad, I rlly don’t often feel this much for someone. But the back of my mind will always have that doubt of what if he’s only interested because of me being trans. I keep having these breakdowns of panic because I’m so scared all the time.
Scared I’ll only ever be viewed as an “experience” scared i’ll only ever be reduced to my genitals. Scared no one will ever truly take my gender seriously and view me as a guy.
I’m happy other transmascs are confident in their body parts. but I get nervous sometimes with how many peoples only thoughts on transmascs seem to revolve around their genitals or femininity.
I feel like I’ll never get to escape the confines of my agab. Even around other queer ppl it feels as if there’s this layer of “yeah but ur not FULLY a guy”
Ughgh

Started strange new worlds finally and got to the Spock and T’Pring body swap ep and…I reject it all. Not to be a delusional spirk shipper but…I do not care about or appreciate the efforts being made to try and make me give a shit about their relationship LMAO
Like, we all saw Amok Time and we all know what will happen. How can the writers honestly expect any Trek fan to be rooting for Spock and T’Pring’s relationship when WE ALL KNOW this bitch is gonna claim kal-if-fee and force Spock to experience the trauma of thinking he murdered his lover captain. To be clear, I’m no T’Pring hater. But I also am bored af during any romantic scene between them and wishing I could fast forward. My love for Spock as a character is the only thing that keeps me grinding through their romantic scenes.
And listen, I’m sure balancing a pre-TOS Spock’s growth and trying to show new facets of him is incredibly difficult, so I’m trying to be understanding and lenient with Spock doing things that are technically too early in his personal development. Like, this man struggles to even call Kirk a “friend” without immense shame in TOS. But he’s gonna sit at a table with Chapel and call her a friend so easily years before? Idk, I wish I didn’t notice things like that. But unfortunately my autistic ass has downloaded all of memory alpha into my brain and I KNOW THINGS.
But overall, I do love the show so far! I will always support new Trek shows. I critique them out of love!
