#themselves w masculinity….

hi. lgbt community. i WISH you guys would stop saying ‘afab’ when you mean ‘nonbinary afab’. trans men do exist

#this has been a PSA #i see so. MANY. posts. describing stuff that for the VAST MAJORITY of trans men is… not applicable #and it’ll be like. AFABS- #like ohhh my god. i literally cannot identify out of afab it’s a label thrust upon me #but what you’re describing is not at all related or relatable to me or the vast majority of trans guys!!! #wider lgbt community recognise that binary trans people exist challenge #(not that they so much get nonbinary trans people either… but the assumption is very much that they’re more prevelant & usually more #sympathetic than binary trans people) #(at least when afab & fem presenting (though i abhor this terminology) & usually white…. #) #but. LIKE. ‘tips for women & afabs!!’ or even sometimes said by other trans people ‘afab people-’ #when it’s so obviously about a nonbinary person whos bought into wayyy too much antimasculism not a trans guy or anyone who aligns #themselves w masculinity…. #i hate the word afab in general tho. but #lgbt #antimasculism #transandrophobia #oliver talks

If you are ever in doubt wether my posts with demo and soldier interacting are boots n bombs or not i promise you it is intended to be fully and utterly homosexual

#They might not always be balls-slapping-the-taint deep in each other when i draw them #but i assure you its boots n bombs #i draw them like how masashi kishimoto draws naruto and sasuke #never not thinking abt the other when drawing them #like do i have to draw them cumming in every hole before you are convinced its gay. look at them barbara. #do you think its galpal time when i use the half-zatoichi as the sword that kills soldier. #do u think i chose the katna cus i thought it was the coolest sword. or my fav sword to use. #no. im a bottle bitch. #you think i use THE gayest sword in tf2. the one that can oneshot 2 specific classes if they also carry the sword. #just so you can assume its a best friend thing. #i use the half-zatoichi bc that shit is gayer than gay sex #like wydm they can kill each other in one shot. homosexual behavior. #theyve killed each other so many times now that they have intimate knowledge of each others bodies #they know what to aim for to kill them. how to ngle the sword just so. #cross faction icons. #the blood and gore and violence is a hyper masculine way of them baring themselves to each other without having to commit #the danger and pain and betrayal that awaits when theyre openly and unapologetically friendly and close w each other #the fact when they WERE open abt it they were punished #they had to choose between their job and their friend and without the staged betrayal #without the lies fed to them they would have chosen friend #and you know the job is important to both of them #enjoyable even #bnb CAN be loveydovey picnic at the park #but its not all it is #its the war where they tear each other apart thinking the other is in the wrong #its their fear of committing again #its their festering image of what the other did and the inability to even attempt to clear it up till its too late #and its the way they can bounce back from it #because theyre gay barbara theyre homosexual

this is gonna sound whiny but nonbinary ppl can immediately tell when u just see them as their agab jsyk👍 its just frustrating 2 b surrounded by other queer ppl and even in those communities without fail if i make any comment abt period cramps or having worked in childcare or shit like that theres an Immediate shift to like oh okay ur actually a Girl got it . like . there was anothr nonbinary person i used 2 kno who had zero problem using the right pronouns for me until they heard how high my voice was on a call once ☠️

#this isnt targeted its just a vent #idk its just annoying. like i can get away w painting my nails but i feel like thats bc #its trendy in niche communities now for cis boys to do it #and i hate feeling like my masculinity is constantly being stacked next to like . the pillars of cis man and cis woman #like . idk im probably not articulating this v well #like . especially as somebody who thinks of themselves as transmasc but doesnt want top surgery its annoying bc that alone #means i lose legitimacy 2 some of the queer ppl i try 2 talk 2 abt gender stuff with #and beyond that #the stupidass responses ive gotten to telling ppl i dont ever rlly plan on coming out to my family #like girl.... i cannot be the first person uve met who doesnt have a safe or comfortable environment to be transgender jn???? #and beyond that i dont think its that big a deal that i dont ever come out like . officially #the ppl i care abt know and they see me the way i want so thats enough for me #but in like . largely lgbt online spaces thats where it gets frustrating #like we r supposed 2 b beyond defining gender solely on stereotypes and tit size #tw transphobia #like not rlly but jic it makes anybody uncomfy #thank u that is all #SORRY FOR BEIN CRANKY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING 😵😵 love and light etc #its not like a huge deal either its just smth that gets frustrating specifically in spaces full of ppl that u have some expectations #of understanding from #sorry if this is like complete nonsense LOL

[sasukeless]

for a side that says to be so pro sasuke its hilarous when they start fuming when you mention canon stuff about his characterization

#saying that sasuke speeches at the end are retcon as if they dont fit completely w his previous actions #throwing up because ppl mention sasuke fits certain heroine tropes and has femenine attributes because it would destroy the straight super #masculine idea they have of him #pointing that sasuke’s clear lack of interest in women but fixation in a guy is fots queer coding #claiming sasuke has better relationship w taka than with naruto simply bc they like #them more themselves #despite sasukes own actions and words saying otherwise #and on and on #like i thought you like sasuke??

hello tedx talk about the concept of female actors playing hamlet from 4 years ago i wish you would not include funny haha gender essentialism in your points about how a woman would fit the character (because the concept that women take forever to make a decision is, in fact, a product of the sexist status quo you are trying to criticize) and instead consider that hamlet is someone that is constantly being made aware of their wrongness and inability to conform to nearly every standard set upon them, including gender, and so much of their inner conflict and self-hatred comes from that. yes a hamlet who is socialized as a woman would be extremely interesting but it's not just because girls deserve representation of a morally gray character w depression but because hamlet faces this expectation of docility in the face of an injustice that only they perceive, and they are made so aware abt how they're near constantly being watched, and they are so intelligent and talks circles around ppl yet they have so few ppl who they can trust who will actually listen to them and this all gains a layer of deeper meaning if it is made abundantly clear that this is all a direct result of misogyny

#like the tedx talk wasnt . horribly actively bad. but it did not dive into how gender fuckery would actually gel with the character #and how it could create a take on the text that rly criticizes the systems themselves that thrive on misogyny's existence #like.. how there are male actors who have really played into and emphasized hamlet's lack of standard masculinity #and how interesting it would be to see an actor that Isn't A Man emphasize the character's incongruence w gender roles #etc etc #hamlet #and this isnt APPROACHING intersectionality bc a hamlet who is a woc would take on a COMPLETELY different note #anyway personally if i was giving this tedx talk i would say 'i think he's transgender' and run off the stage

b99 was a comfort show years ago but I never made it past two seasons so I started watching it again from the beginning and I just gotta say ppl who think "jake peralta is bi" is a recent theory are kidding themselves

#i googled 'jake peralta bi' just to see what would come up and it's mostly reddit debates bw ppl who like to imagine he's bi #and ppl who are like 'hurr burr that's not in the show's canon not everyone has to be gay and woke #straight men can be comfortable w themselves' etc etc #and while this is true and positive masculinity is a good thing in media #the second terry lifted him and jake was like 'wOw you're strong :) ' there was no turning back that man is bi #not even halfway into season 1 btw #i remember getting the vibes in college when i was still halfway closeted to myself and by gum i was onto something #also i get to project onto whoever i want. as a treat. happy pride #jun 2023

"girly pop masc" I'm so scared rn where are the faggy butches what are the tiktok teenagers doing

#the sheer amounts of ppl that will id w masc over butch and distance themselves from any masculinity..... #but at the same time I'm glad they aren't identifying as butch bc dear god..... I do not want to be around them love and light #as always no hate I will always support other queer people even when they annoy me but boy

[rubberbandballqueen]

halfway through my readings for queer history class this week i remembered that one excerpt from butch is a noun, and mistakenly believing that to be the entirety of butch is a noun, googled it, and now i am reading the entire essay collection instead of my class readings. anyway i love you butches

#the worm speaks #love 2 read abt queer masculinity n how it's always a series of active conscious choices one makes to Be #i imagine the same thing happens w/queer femininity. i think i just like to read people's careful articulation of their own gender #n how that informs their choices n how they like to present themselves to the world n all that stuff #everything comes from something after all... after a certain point our lives are just series after series of decisions we make for ourselves

ok so kyu n junghwan were two of my guesses for t5 so lets see if i can get the other 3 right as well. im thinking ruto jihoon n hmmmmm dobby!

#u see yoshi is a backup guess bc they might want 2 rappers in the unit but idt he'd vote for himself as the most handsome member so #also! they might save him for the (hopefully 🤞🏼) next 5-member unit w hyunsuk #also dont think suk sahi or jeongwoo would vote for themselves so im already discarding them #jihoon DEF would n they might wanna split the leaders. ruto may or may not have voted for himself i just think he's more likely to than #yoshi also he's definitely one of the most (if not THE most) popular members so i feel like placing him in their 1st unit is a good choice #now that leaves jaehyukie n dobby for the last spot. im gonna go w dob bc even tho i think jae's also one of the most popular members #(source: the voices) n they both can eat any choreo up n have similar vocal abilities. i just think dobby fits the flower boy concept much #more. jae has more of like a classic masculine type of beauty if that makes sense. im just saying shit atp tbh this could go either way #but i gotta pick one lmao #mari.txt #ALSO! i said jwoo wouldnt vote for himself but he definitely would like. as a joke. also if it meant being in a new unit. so hes a lil bit #of a wildcard i think. we'll see how it goes #jihoon's still my main pick from original main vocal line since yedams gone n hes so full of himself its SICKENING #lmk what yall think ive been theorizing abt this since i found out abt t5 omg #also tbh i think sahi totally fits the 'prettiest flower boys' concept i just dont think hed volunteer himself #n thats my basis for the guessing lol #also also going off this if there rly is another unit coming that would mean suk yoshi jae sahi jwoo unit. id eat that shit up

I'm definitely more poorly recieved by certain parties, some I care about some I don't, when I dress more fem, but 1) they're stupid for that I look so hot and 2) the rats don't run this city, we do, so there you have it

#it just sucks bc like. im not going to stop wearing clothes i like bc other peoples opinions. the rats dont run this city we do #but i wish other people liked the way i look when i also like the way i look. you know. #not that people actively dislike me when i dress fem or at all that i dislike presenting masculinely. but #'hey is this about--' a little :-/ he hasnt said it to me but like. . . but thats fine people can have preferences about me #that cant be helped and especially if theyre respectfully keeping it to themselves then it rlly doesnt matter. w stuff like that

#like i don't deny the dude cares for his students--he canonically does. #but there's a disconnect w/his methods #and he just kinda exemplifies that old masculinity myth abt how logic and feelings are contradictory instead of complimentary which. #the more we learn abt the human brain the more we learn they're actually complimentary. and the best way to handle humans #& get good results from them is to treat them well (not poorly) in body & heart #aizawa #bnha meta #mypost #the ppl who respond well to mistreatment are a statistical minority but that doesn't necessarily mean *better* #it just means *different* or in some cases *worse* (since those who respond well to toxic environments #tend to be toxic themselves & view that as normal)

i talk shit about triggers decision to change the scene where galo gets thrown in prison from him having a breakdown to him just crying one single manly tear bcuz of what it represents, not bcuz i wouldnt Get It as someone who has trouble crying or whatever. i can rationalize that scene in a character study abt galos repression or whatever all i want but at the end of the day it doesnt rly matter when u can p much just look at it and be like yea p sure its one of those things trigger backed out on cuz they were too scared of putting too much emotion into their action movie

#like yeah u can be like its bcuz galos shocked its bcuz hes repressed its bcuz he just has trouble expressing 'bad' emotions #but its hard 2 do that when its just bcuz trigger didnt think it would be manly if galo cried on the floor #again tho why this is where there line is with galo and manliness i have no idea #fascinating 2 watch trigger write galo as like this healthy masculinity guy and the antagonist as the opposite of that #who takes like this bad extremely dangerous violent toxic approach 2 what Being A Man means to him #but then trigger themselves while doing that still cant rly examine their own views abt masculinity n stuff Too much #like man u were close here to something #there could be cultural differences w some of this stuff too n im just not picking up on it but i dont thinkive seen anyone talk abt it #prmare taking place in america n being made to resemble like american cartoons n action movies makes me iffy on it #plus the changes from these more final scripts to the actual animated scenes in the movie #they changed the scene w galo holding lio as aina carried them 2 the lake post kakusei scene from boards to more final scripts #so like w that stuff u can guess they just phased that part out a lot earlier but this one was gonna Stay for a while and they changed it #the more final scripts have some big lore changes n stuff compared 2 actual final script n movie so they were by no means like the Completed #final script or anything they were still a wip one but yknow. there wereparts that u look at the changes n ur like huh #promare

[eileennatural]

terfs claim to reject femininity because it's oppressive or whatever and then develop intense fixations on scrutinizing every aspect of a woman's body to determine whether they're "secretly a man"

#tw transphobia #not saying you as a woman cant reject femininity idc what people do. i am saying its reductive to equate femininity with oppression #as if its womens fault that theyve been oppressed and that they cpuld simply free themselves of their chains by rejecting it #as if gnc women arent oppressed as well #youve fallen into the patriarchal trap of equating femininity w weakness and masculinity w strenght. #nice dichotomy idiot now what lies outside it etc etc

idk prev rb actually made me think abt headcanons innnnn enstars fandom n how weirdly binary they still r, in a way. shld i explain?

#its like. don get me wrong im a huge sucker for t4t always & in any form #but #ill use valkyrie as an example since its my specialty #its always rubbed me the wrong way that the general consenus on valkyrie when it comes to gender headcanons (in the western fandom mostly #esp twitter spaces n such #always bugged me how shu is ubiquitously assigned the transfem hc #taller n broader n more 'traditionally' masculine facial features with the contrast of his flamboyant gender expression & interest in #(generally oerceived as) feminine interests #versus mika.. #bein shorter n repeatedly pointed out with femjnine traits such as longer hair n name n smaller frame #so he gets 2 b the transmasc ofc! #an its like. wgere am i goin w all this? its not likr im hurt by all dat #i love to see it as a transmasc introject in a bodily transmasc system! #but it still makes me think hmm. enstarries have rly flat visions of transness #even with a lot of em bein trans themselves the way they treat headcanons is sometimes very backwards #cuz this isn jus valkyrie case. theres a specific Type of character dat will get the 'amab transfem' treatment n then another one dat will #get the 'afab transmasc' #n its kinda generic... i think ppl shud unpack their own biases more often... #cause yehs while i participate in it to a degree it still scratches my brain in an uncomfortable way cause its categorisin experiences into #strictly 'transmasc' or 'transfem' ways of bein #when transness to me has always jus Been #sorry uf this barely makes sense #ppl on here r so eloquent n i feel bad whenever i rant.... #sorries

Another thing I think would be interesting is if they remade Operation Javier, they could do this whole contrast of Krauser embodying toxic masculine traits vs Leon who is a healthier ideal of masculinity.

#ooc. #like this 'pretty' boy who grows out his hair a bit. clearly well groomed not saying krauser is like unhygienic or unkempt #but leon looks like he does a little more w/ his appearance no? and also contrast of someone who is comfortable with themselves and rejects #the norms and the idea of what a “man” is esp during the timeline of 2004 #and someone who has adopted a more rigid / toxic idea of masculinity under patriarchy #and it doesn't have to be super in depth #but just to hint at it or sprinkle it in here and there would be nice

once again thinking abt re:animated au and how the reason jack isn't initially accepting of danny is in part due his own trauma as a son and his relationship to his own father which he's still trying to contend now that he's dead

he genuinely wasn't expecting danny to be his son and how that he is jack is now at a crossroads as how he goes abt continuing to raise him

#he's no different from maddie in this way it's like i want to be a good/better parent to my kids than mine was to me #but how exactly do i that w/o unintentionally and ultimately mirroring them in the end #like it obviously doesn't excuse jack invalidating danny's identity and him/maddie wanting to pass it off as 'just as a phase' #so that it's easy for them to digest #but like given that generational trauma is a factor in why he reacted the way he did i get it #that's not even taking count how danny feels in relation to his own complicated relationship w masculinity and how compared to jack #he weirdly feels like he isn't living up to that expectation either #and how i do think jack's dad and him were both affected by machismo in some capacity and carried themselves the way they did bc of it #robi rambles
