I'm absolutely losing my mind seeing "We need to not treat men and masculinity as inherently evil and worthy of hatred, and not fall back into biological and gender essentialism because that hurts everyone, including trans women" being misinterpreted as "Women need to stop oppressing men", "I think trans women are actually men" or "You specifically who have trauma around men need to get over it because men are the real victims". It's so willfully disingenuous. It makes me sick how willing people are to read in bad faith, especially how willing other trans women are to suddenly start harassing and dogpiling another trans woman.

I am a trans woman too, I understand what it's like to feel unsafe, but it helps no one this cynical attitude that crops up every time someone suggests being kind to men in our lives. "You could save a man you know from falling down the alt-right pipeline" is not the same as "It's your fault that men murder you". "There are people who could be on our side if we don't meet them with immediate hostility" is not the same as "You need to shut up and stop criticizing power structures for the sake of your oppressors' feelings" (I promise there are a lot of people who can be taught about their complicity in oppression without immediately shutting down but you need to work with them). This kind of attitude isn't somehow more informed or correct. It's just lashing out to avoid considering one's own agency.

Making a better, safer world for ourselves requires all kinds of work, but it's always work. It's hard to try to reach out to people who could very realistically harm us, it's work that not all of us can afford to or are able to do and that's fine because we're all just trying to survive. But some of you would rather condescend, tear each other down, and make more enemies before even considering it a possibility.

I think my dash is trying real hard to manifest this one

This is the 20th one I've scrolled through, various people

And when it has gone

past, I will turn the inner

eye to see its path.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

Someone who says they don't care if dudes wear dresses and makeup is a better ally than someone who says they're a safe space for women and non-binary people. I am not joking.

yeah I went to a gay bar recently with my husband tumblr user beemovieerotica, and a VERY confused capital S Southerner straight man in cargo shorts and a trucker hat showed up

apparently he (who through my drunken memory I remember only as Earl) liked some woman, and she told him that he wasn't cultured enough and needed to attend his first drag show (she also flaked on him)

Now I'm reasonably androgynous and was wearing makeup, a short leather skirt, and black heeled boots, but still when this guy came up to me when I was standing off alone and asked "So. Do you come here often?" with a very earnest expression, I thought. Surely not. This guy doesn't think I'm a straight woman does he????

Anyway I start talking with this guy and he has no idea what the fuck is going on but he is just a very kind and earnest dude and asked a lot of questions (while asking if it was alright if he asked those questions). I track down my husband and friends and I'm like y'all. We need to make sure that Earl has a Good Fucking Time tonight.

Man was completely out of his depth. At one point they put on a puppy auction to raise money for Pride, that started with a 6 ft drag queen in all her glory leading a leather pup out on a leash to the tune of that damned RSPCA "in the arms of the angels" song

We look at Earl. Nervous. He squints, laughs, and then goes "I was wondering why people were dressed like that!" He turned to me and asked "So they're like dogs?" And I said yeah pretty much. And he just chuckled and went "Yeah I thought so with the tails! Never seen this before!"

When the first drag king came out, Earl looked at me wide eyed and went "There's a dude version too?!" And I said yeah they're called drag kings. And he said, low, "Drag kings."

During one of the queens performances, he frowned, shook his head and told me, "Your legs are better than hers." in a tone that implied he thought there was some travesty taking place and I should also be getting paid

When he found out I was there with my husband (and that I am not a woman) he profusely apologized and said "I'm so sorry, it's dark in here and I thought you were a hot chick! I wouldn't have said nothing if I knew you had a husband, I'm so sorry about that."

When beemovie invited me to the dance floor with him later and I still had a drink in my hand, Earl said "Oh don't worry about that I can hold your drink, you get on out there and shake your ass with your husband!" Then before we left, Earl bought me drinks for "Putting up with me all night and answering everything. Y'all helped me have a great time tonight."

like. You gotta recognize there's going to people who have never had interacted outside of their of their own community. This includes you. And just because your community is familiar with all the right vocabulary and how to correctly say something, it doesn't mean they're actually going to support you. If someone like Earl shows up, confused and out of their depth but kind and curious and earnest, you gotta have patience and truck through the small things, so when he goes back to his friends and his coworkers and they snicker asking how the drag show was, he can genuinely talk about how included we tried to make him feel and that he had a great time

The person matters more than the language

I will fuckin never not reblog this.

shoutout to the color red

was going to call red fans “redheads” then remembered that’s taken. considered “redpilled” and remembered all of human history at once and fell into a deep coma

Reblog daily for health and prosperity

Some cleansing positive energy for your timeline

not even in a sexual way but i’m just craving affection because i feel like crap i just want someone to hug me for a couple of hours and tell me i’m going to be okay 

Reblog to hug prev and tell them it’s okay

yours, truly and forever.

are the quintuplets cannon now or are they a separate au?

I'm going to say a separate au, because I also like the version where Gibbous is an only child. And because that would be a lot of kids for me to keep track of all the time

you say that like your the parent

well not canonically, but.... they are my ocs so...

we already have eight children, how many more do we need??? this would mean we'd have twelve kids if we add these four new ones to the canon. that is like, bubonic plague-era "have as many kids as possible and hope one survives to adulthood" mentality

why are you saying we???

we as in everyone who consumes the stuff that I post on my blog, not we as in you and me in particular. Don't worry frog, they are not your children lmao

They're not biologically mine either, they're just my idea children, birthed from my brain

oh, okay, i thought that you were going to make me taker care of them lmao

not unless you want to adopt them. Though I'd want joint custody in that case. And it doesn't really seem like you're interested in taking care of eight chaotic children anyway lol

u don't and they woulnd't want me any lol

well the kids would, since you have a history of letting them do whatever and even encouraging them to do bad things (the cement situation), but their parents definitely wouldn't

the cement isn't bad, also what else did i let them do?

I thought you had encouraged them to do other bad things, but now I don't remember what

and cement is bad to eat

it is not

I'm very certain it is

because you don't know how to eat it

how do you eat it then?

by eating, have you eaten food/

then how would I not know how to eat it?

cause for some reason you didn't think to just eat it?

because it's not edible!?!?!?

IT IS

no it isn't!!!

IT IS, WHY ELSE DO I EAT IT

NO IT ISN'T AND YOU SHOULD NOT BE EATING IT

BUT I DO AND NOTHING HAPPENS

THEN YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF SUPER DIGESTIVE SYSTEM BECAUSE THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS FOR MOST PEOPLE

ITS A COMMON QUOSIN FOR MOST CULTURES

NAME ONE DISH THAT USES IT AND NOT THE BREAD IMAGE AGAIN

CEMENT TACOS

preeety sure this isn't food:

it can be if you put your mind to it

I don't know how much I believe that...

well your short so...

That is not a proper argument!!! You can't just insult me in a way that doesn't even relate to your main point! And I am only a half inch shorter than you are!

didn't ask

>:(

don't care + didn't ask + your mother

I didn't even say anything that time...

too bad/ don't care
