thoughts, two issues into my reread of A Game of You:
this arc is already the most tightly constructed one yet, and also the nastiest - a wicked, intricate little tangle of what-ifs and (not-entirely-)human connections whose opening gambit seems to be "okay, let's say these people are living in the most pitiless of all possible worlds - what's left for them to do about it?"
the "explanation" for Neil Gaiman, an apparently straight cis dude, writing a universe of wall-to-wall queers is actually dead simple; it reveals itself the instant you notice Sandman's "real world" queer characters all seem to know each other, or at least belong to the same extended social circle across volumes. it's not some particular fascination on Gaiman's part, nor is it fishing for brownie points; mostly it's just writerly observation of the world he inhabits: misfits band together, queer misfits even more so. once you're as neck-deep in subculture as he's been this whole time, more likely than not the most interesting people in your life are disproportionately queers whose social circle is wall-to-wall queers and weirdos.
relatedly, and at the risk of getting ahead of myself based on hazy memories of what's coming... you hear "hasn't aged well" a lot about this volume, a phrase that tends to suggest "clumsy and insensitive as fuck, but does engage way more than was fashionable at the time." in this case, though, the vibe feels more "oh jesus, this is a nasty pointed little hypothetical that's seven layers deep in intracommunity discourse... whose exact forms have shifted so much that its legibility has deteriorated into Welp, Whatever That Was, Good Representation Sure Ain't It." iirc the sharpest end of its nasty little stick was always pointed at those preaching the model for this most pitiless of all possible worlds, but it's been a long damn time. i'm really, really interested to see how the show will adapt this storyline.

Just a reminder that true feminism is beneficial for everyone. Yes it is fighting for equality for women, but proactive feminism also helps trans men to feel safe and comfortable in society, welcomes trans women into women’s spaces, and breaks down toxic masculinity allowing men (cis and trans!) to express themselves as they are. Feminism can and should fight for breaking down gender norms, which supports non-binary and otherwise gender queer individuals. Feminism is for everyone and helps everyone.

Spain’s Menstrual Leave law is just...my period debilitates me physically and mentally even while I’m on strong medication for it and it’s affected every single job I’ve ever had. I wish every country had this. Even just mandated menstrual work from home days or part-time onsite days would help. I can’t focus on keeping my eyes open, let alone helping others while my body is doing a rock star hotel room destruction episode inside me!

God, it's fucking remarkable how people claim to support predstrogen and oppose transmisogyny, while still participating in transmisogynist harassment campaigns like the one against the co-host co-founder.
Like that's literally what the scandal is about. Predstrogen was the victim of years-long harassment campaign which used mass-reporting and got her account banned. And tumblr let her harassers blogs stay up while deleting her accounts. And the ceo took criticism of tumblr's transmisogynistic moderation practices as a personal insult to his self-image as a cool dude, so he has repeatedly personally justified it. Matt Mullenweg isn't the only villain here, the hate mob driving harassment against her is too.
I remember the callout posts against predstrogen, sometimes thy were outright terfs, but others justified the harassment in the same coded ways they do for every trans woman. "She was into problematic kinks or defended them, and therefore basically a pedophile sexual predator." Or "she is a transfeminist, therefore she is a transandrophobe that hates transmascs."
Like it's the same pattern of bullshit, it doesn't explicit target her identity as a trans woman, but these callouts repeatedly happen to transfem after transfem every fucking time. And they always use the same bullshit accusations that just so happen to line up with the widespread transmisogynistic image of transfems as sexual predators who oppress real wombyn.
The reason predstrogen's story resonates is because it vividly shows what it is like to be a transfem on this platform.It didn't just happen to her as an individual, It's part of a larger systemic pattern of transmisogyny.
If you participate in these transmisogynistic callout harassment even by just reblogging the callouts, you are also a villain here. And you can't claim to support predstrogen while participating in the process that drove her off the platform.
You can't condemn Matt Mullenweg when you are a willing cog in the same transmisogynistic hate machine that he is defending. The only difference between you and Mullenweg is not that you lack his bigotry, it's that you lack his millions of dollars, and the immense individual power and influence that brings.

So You’ve Fled Worse Websites For This One And Wish To Make A Hellsite A Hellhome
Just a friendly reminder that on this godforsaken website you can and should do the following few things that involve going into your settings:
1: Under Dashboard, disable Best Stuff First, Include Stuff In Your Orbit and Based On Your Likes. The former ruins the how the timeline works here, the middle violates the sanctity of anonymity if people you follow don’t want you to see their likes, the latter is a crapshoot and annoying and inaccurate because the likes algorithm is fucked.
2: Under Account, turn off letting people finding your blog through your email address, your email should not be just out there like that.
3: Under Notifications, turn off news because nobody knows what the hell is popular or gaining traction at any given moment. Posts from 6 years ago will randomly gain a resurgence of popularity for no good reason. Also just turn off the stuff that gives you immediate info about notes or updates or notices it’s just so fucking annoying and useless.
Under Appearance, you can choose to make who you follow private and what you’ve Liked private. I recommend doing both of those things. The old days of dumbass slapfights and following discourse are long gone but not yet over. Defend your mental health by just not letting folks know what you’re following or what you like, do what the Bird Site never ever let you do. From here you can also choose to turn anonymous asks off and that’s a good way to learn who you need to block if they’re being a shit to you, which to that I say block early and block often.
This website is different than the Bird Site in that 1: it will not tell you who to follow and 2: Likes do nothing, Reblogs are what matters. Likes are nice but Reblogs keep the blood pumping and posts/works by artists circulating. You can even choose to reblog your own stuff. This site is a massive sea of islands that have boats parked around them and bridges between them. There are, regrettably, Nazis and TERFs and tradcaths on this site. I have never seen them except for when they decide to pick fights with people I follow. You should also make it abundantly clear those people are not welcome to interact with you. You can threaten them with death here. It tends to work. Tell the fascists to die, recirculate the blood of content, treat this site well and keep it healthy and it will keep your mind healthy in turn.
This site allows a shocking amount of anonymity in the modern age. You don’t have to share personal information if you don’t want to. I don’t recommend you do. People can and have used DNI criteria and trigger/content warnings to dunk on people or upset them. Keep yourself and your data safe, you don’t have to have a carrd in your header or a list of kinks or a laundry list of things you believe in. Keep strangers at an arm’s length and moderate what you tell other people about yourself. I know this used to be the internet’s #1 naked picture dump and so many people courted parasocial relationships with folks here. Those times have changed. Don’t be weird and don’t let people be weird to you based on what they know about you.
By many standards on this website, I am an old-timer, even though I’ve been here steadily since 2015 with an initial reg date of 2013. I know the old stories, of the Oncelor, of Dashcon, the Kickstarter scams, the doxxing. I only qualify as an old-timer due to the fact that I stayed through the porn ban of 2018 and kept circulating content. This site...it’s not good, but it is what you make of it. Curate your content, even though the tagging system doesn’t work. Find what you like, even though the search function sucks ass. If you’re here for popularity you generally won’t find it because the algorithm straight up does not work, but also if you were forged in the fires of the Bird Site you likely knew this would not be the case. My advice is to find a handful of people who provide a feed like I do and if any specific names you see a lot interest you, skim their own blogs, follow them if you like, let your network spread, never be afraid to prune who you follow. Also your follower count doesn’t mean shit, it doesn’t really dictate who can see what you’re putting out there, your marketing and self-promotion is more or less tied 1:1 to using the tag system and your own hustle.
My other advice is to be as queer as you want, support queer people, and most importantly to tell the fascists to die as creatively as you’d like.

kinda sucky when the "don't reblog bigots" account is literally reblogging a post from someone calling ppl speaking out about transandrophobia "trans MRAs". you'd think they'd be better than that, especially when their whole thing seems to be anti-TERF.
editing to add screenshots. please do not harass this person. just block.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this just. why is it so hard to acknowledge that trans women are being hurt without throwing trans men under the bus ? like yes there are definitely trans men being shitty about this (there is always someone being shitty about something). no one is denying that. but saying that anyone who talks about transandrophobia is dangerous to trans women is fucked up.
trans men, trans women, anyone out there: stay safe, turn off anon, block liberally, and love yourselves.

Note: Reblogs are turned off because a TERF reblogged this post and it began to circulate through that group. I have blocked those I was able to identify but I don’t want to risk any others interacting with this post from those reblogs.
Also shut the fuck up with the Harry Potter references. Read something else. Everyone who’s making Malcom in the Middle references can stay, you’re hilarious and I love you.

i was a trans man until after a lot of build up of doubting myself, i finally realized that we are putting ourselves further into boxes by not accepting that we are the biological sex that we are and we can do WHATEVER we want at the same time.
clothes and makeup and certain interests do not equal gender.
and not liking being a woman is an unfortunately natural symptom of puberty and/or experiencing society’s deeply ingrained misogyny. and everyone deserves support for those problems.
but we can all fight together against gender social constructs in a healthy way without prescribing people hormones and invasive cosmetic surgery to make them more like the sex they “should” be according to… social constructs…. and help them be comfortable in who they are
Alright. Its been like 9 fucking months that I have been staring down this ask. What better time than to give TERFs some nuance than right in the middle of a fucking hate campaign going on where people (well... singular person probably) are calling me a TERF. This wont backfire.
This post arrived in my inbox shortly after I made another post about gender, and just how fucking weird it can be, and how I genuinely believed every single person on this planet has a fascinating relationship with gender, and so much nuance and personal identity in theirs. Even cis people. Even TERFs. In the tags, I even begrudgingly encouraged TERFs to talk about their gender on that post if they wanted. I genuinely think that TERFs do have really cool relationships with gender. As I mentioned in those tags, the quickest way to explode a group of TERFs is to get them to start talking about their own relationships with gender, and see how vastly different it is, and watching them stab each other in the back over it. So I told them to ramble away about how they view gender, as long as they stayed the fuck away from the rest of the blog WHICH THIS ANON CLEARLY FUCKING IGNORED.
But... this anon does bring up another topic I want to talk about.
Detransition.
Read More
I am a huge supporter of detransitioning. This is... surprisingly... not a very common stance in the trans community, and it breaks my fucking heart. Like, I get it. I understand why. A LOT of detransitioners, like the person in this ask, end up weaponizing their feelings of gender against other trans people.
My support of transition comes from the intersection of two very central beliefs of mine:
Everyone should explore their gender without feeling a need to commit! This is a pretty common belief in the trans community! Damn near universal in fact! We even have a fun little term we use for people who decide to play around with gender, only to end up a bit closer to where they started and being perfectly happy with that: Cis+. Someone who is cis, but at least put in the work to understand the trans experience, and actually CHOOSE to remain Cis instead of just defaulting to it with societal pressure. Many trans people are much more comfortable around 'Cis+' people, because they know these are people who have taken the time and put in the work of being an ally. Self examination isn't easy, especially not publicly, and doing so is genuinely one of the strongest ways a Cis person could ever show their support.
It is never too late to transition. This is also a pretty common belief in the trans community! It is... sadly not quite as universal though. But it is something very important that needs to be said. You could be 80 years old, sitting in a retirement home, and go "You know what? I think I'd rather wear a dress and be treated like a lady. I don't want to be buried as a man." And I think every single trans person should have that freedom!
I was discussing this with @thydungeongal the other day, far more paraphrased than this post, and she said something incredible that has been knocking around in my head ever since.
"Gender is an ongoing process"
Those five words they said to me sum up my feelings far more than this entire post could. Gender IS an ongoing process. My gender has changed SO MUCH over the past three decades. From the straightjacket of assigned gender that I was once forced into; to the very stylish and still lovable finely tailored suit of femininity that grew a little too stuffy to wear constantly, even though I do still enjoy it and try it on from time to time; to the wonderful and freeing losely fitting clothing of being aegogender, finally feeling free to be myself and just act naturally and feel natural without having to keep up an appearance!
And I think, there is no length of time you can try out being trans, and trying out new genders, before eventually coming to the realization you were cis all along. Even if you started HRT. Even if you got SRS. Heck, I don't even think you should have to call yourself trans to do either of those things in the first place, why would I be upset that someone did them and then realized they weren't trans? No single moment in your life should EVER lock your gender in place into some unchanging, set in stone thing.
So I support detransitioners completely, with my entire heart. They deserve just as much support as every other 'Cis+' person out there.
So anon, while many people may hate you and lash out at you for detransitioning, I want you to know, that I am not one of them. It sounds like your detransition might have been forced by peer pressure, which is heart breaking to hear. No one should ever force their own gender expectations on another. I hope that wasn't the case. I hope you came to the decision yourself, after realizing whats right for you. I will never give you hate for your detransition.
I WILL ABSOLUTELY GIVE YOU HATE FOR BEING A FUCKING TERF THOUGH. YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE WITH GENDER DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO POLICE THE GENDER OF OTHERS, FUCK OFF. GET THE FUCK OFF MY BLOG, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!

Do you know if avery has a new blog/is planning to? I totally get if it's supposed to stay lowkey for safety for now btw
given that the last three anons in my inbox are TERFs gleefully misgendering her and accusing her of being a rapist, I'm not gonna be the one broadcasting that information.
Also to the nolife TERFs slinging shit at me about your favorite target: I don't care how vile she purportedly is. She got completely ERASED. harmless images, silly memes, every image she EVER POSTED got stricken. As far as I'm aware? This kind of extreme prejudice has NEVER been seen before.
There's no excuse. You don't just fucking retcon a trans woman because she purportedly did xyz bad thing. I've seen confirmed nazis get hit with less. I've seen nazis get let off the hook a lot, actually. This is a transphobic attack, plain and simple. Go fuck yourselves with barbed wire.

Hi, I'm Zerosuitsammi3. Welcome to my blog!
My name is Sammie (not Sammi). The "3" in Zerosuitsammi3 is meant to be interpreted as an "E". Well now that that rant is done let's get into my pinned post.
I'm transgender.
31 years old.
Pronouns: she/her.
Heavily lesbian leaning pansexual.
Submissive/switch
HRT since 3/10/2020
My blog is 18+, no minors please. If you're a minor stay away and find your trans inspiration elsewhere sorry. I horn post, and I post thirsty pictures. This is not the place for you. Sorry. I show up in the top tags on occasion so block me if you have to.
Put your age in your bio! It's easy. Please indicate your general age to other tumblr users its a simple courtesy.
IF YOU'RE A RACIST, A NAZI, A PEDOPHILE, A HOMOPHOBE, A TRANSPHOBE, A TERF, A GENDERCRITICAL, OR A BIGOT IN GENERAL FUCK RIGHT THE FUCK OFF. EAT A BAG OF DISEASED DICKS. AND DIE.
I have a lot of kinks and I will never kink shame. But if you approach me with a sissy kink just know I'll never respond; I find it offensive and I'm not ever going to be into it. Also ageplay, blood, and diaper kinks will never interest me.
Otherwise most kinks catch my attention and I will occasionally post about them.
I sometimes screenshot and publicly talk to tags like a weirdo.
On certain occasions I sell content feel free to DM me for prices.
If you enjoy my blog, my posts, my selfies, or my content please feel free to tip.
In a very gay relationship with @its-brit-bruh
If I take a sexy photo set, there's probably an explicit counter part on onlyfans 😉😉
Paypal - @zerosuitsammi3
Venmo - @zerosuitsammi3
Cashapp - $zerosuitsammi3
I love you all so much 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

transfem kuai liang headcanon
hi. as a precursor to this whole post, i'm going to give the forwarning that i am absolutely batshit insane about this. if one could call an avid fan of something 'down the rabbit hole', then i am in the core of the fucking planet of this. i am thinking about her at all hours of the day. i have a several thousand WC braindump doc that i still need to elaborate on. with that said, if you're willing to give a look-see, jump down the rabbit hole with me as i give you the rundown.
Tumblr media
i have many, many, many words about her. many of them. but i'll try to summarize my reasoning for this particular headcanon because it's actually much much deeper than the initial vibes.
THE DEEPER REASONING
kuai as a character seems really closed-off and disconnected. especially when we first meet him. he's duty first, no-nonsense. he's quiet. and then we get to know him more, and to know bi-han more, and there's this... sense of unease, somewhat? like bi-han, we can see that he is standing on firm foundations of his ideals. we know what he wants. we know who he is. he stays true to these ideals, even by betraying his brothers to join the side of shang tsung and quan chi. he is a character who knows what he wants and we can predict his actions based on it. on the other hand, in contrast, kuai liang seems almost... unstable, in a sense, and adrift. we only really get to know the fact that he valued his father's teachings. and bi-hans betrayal seems to throw him even more adrift.
and being adrift and unstable on his foundations is a trait i see VERY often in my own experience and in the experience of my transfem friends (and here we hit my biggest point on why i headcanon kuai liang as transfem-- the sheer number of parallels between his story and trans experiences).
when bi-han betrays the lin kuei, and in turn, kuai and smoke, kuai has no issues taking down SEVERAL fighters along with general shao-- and you can sense the rage that fuels it (yet another parallel with trans experience). that feeling of 'i put faith in you, i trusted you,', and in this case, 'i followed you, i am who i am because of you, i changed myself for you, and you repay me with this?'
it's unbelievable pain and anger and betrayal, and though he eventually calms enough that he goes back to his quiet, calculative self, it's earth-shaking. this parallels a lot of the feeling, in the trans experience, of the betrayal you feel when your loved ones, the ones you trusted, you changed yourself for, turn to transphobia and terf rhetoric. turn to the beliefs you know hurt people (earthrealm, or your trans friends) and hurt you, and make you their new target.
i'm sad we don't get much focus on kuai liang after that chapter of the story-- i'd pay good money to get an expansion of his story. we know at the very least that he goes on with smoke to form the shirai ryu, and train the young hanzo hasashi, but that tells us nothing, so i don't have a lot to work with. but that gives a lot of wiggle room when making guesses at his character.
reviewing what we know, i reiterate that parallels make kuai liang's character incredibly readable as trans-coded. and i will say now that i know nothing about him screams 'fem!', but i see his character as transfem because of other things-- once again, parallels. kuai liang, as a character, is very clearly honor-driven. he values, above all, his family. his lost father, his bonds with his brothers. his clan. and on top of that, none of his character reads... as 'man' to me. kuai just doesn't read as someone who identifies with a man to me. by that, i mean that he does not seem... comfortable or confident in his masculinity. and that disconnect, once again, is a DIRECT parallel to trans experiences.
THE FUN STUFF
ok now that i've gotten that out of my system i can tell you about the more fun headcanons i have around her heheh
uses she/he pronouns
smoke gave her a golden scorpion-shaped hair claw and she uses it ALL THE TIME.
she likes to wear eyeliner in everyday life and do fancy eyeliner for battle
he and smoke have bonding time while smoke braids her hair. she very frequently falls asleep during braiding time.
smoke is also her biggest supporter, but hanzo is very frequently fighting for the title.
i will be adding more as i think about it. this is all for today. i hope you enjoyed this post. ok byeeeee

Okay, let's do this. February Pinned post GO!
Hiya, I'm Dee.
Tumblr media
I'm a forty-something queer lesbian poly trans woman. I'm an artist, writer, leatherworker, and tattooist. I'm a shitposter, a mom, and a few other things I've spaced on for the moment. I'm also Not Your Responsible Adult, and will hand you kids pamphlets on sex and kink education, a couple double espressos, and a bag of fireworks or a puppy. I fully believe in sex, kink, and body positivity and reblog as such- if you need censor your own experience for whatever reason, don't follow me, because I will not censor myself for you.
I also post a lot of my work here, but you'll also find a lot of it available for purchase right here: http://tormentedartifacts.com Here's a few highlights:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As I said before, I'm also a tattooist- self-taught and primarily working on myself (yes, about 90% of all that ink in my selfies is my own handiwork, no I'm not taking professional clients yet, more just the occasional test subject)- here's some of the flashwork I've been doing for my own portfolio:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm a writer and occultist as I said before as well, and my first book and companion tarot deck are available through my site, or you can catch me doing weekly card readings and media reviews over here.
The absolute biggest thing right now, though, is my surgery fund- My Gender Confirmation and Facial Feminization operations both happen this November over a two week span, and I'm trying to get enough in to cover my stay and the downtime I'm going to have to take off from everything up there.
So here's the link for my GoFundMe for that.
if you can kick in on that, or just spread word around of it elsewhere, I'd REALLY appreciate it.
And to answer a few specifics:
If you're contacting me about an order the best way is using the email on my site, not messaging me- I will answer when I can, but I'm also backed up and almost constantly low on spoons. Tumblr's where I come to dopamine-mine among other things.
No, I don't sell content to use the current parlance. I do absolutely support those who do, and so should you.
Yes there's a discord. Yes you have to actually ask me for an invite.
No, I really am only 5'6". Half the rumors are true, but so are some of the outright lies. Yes, I'll still record voice requests, even scripted bits. No, you may not call me mommy. Terfs, swerfs, bigots, conservaties, and other fash can fuck directly off. Tipping should be mandatory. Plastics suck. Landlords and borders should be immediately expunged. Give the fucking Land Back. Do make it weird, don't make it creepy. Do make it terrifying, otherworldly, and possibly even wondrous. Buy more leather.
Otherwise, that's it. My inbox or messages are open if you've got questions
