#defend trans lives

[tatersgonnatate]

Every day of the year, not just during Pride Month. Trans and GNC lives are ALWAYS important and ALWAYS relevant.

LMAO

edit: turning off reblogs because some of the people that are reblogging are extremely fucking moronic. holy shit

#anti jk rowling #anti harry potter #1) she's not being removed because 'she spoke up about biological sex' she actively influences anti-trans policies #2) it's not misogynistic to remove her. the fact that she's a woman doesn't have ANYTHING to do with her removal #3) the people reblogging this in approval don't 'cry when an artist isn't credited' this isn't the same fucking thing. #this is as the article says (if you know how to read 🤭) the quickest solution to reduce her impact #this bitch doesn't just hurt trans people. it's clear in her books that she's a white supremacist and she's also antisemitic #and she said dumbledore is gay for clout. it's fucking obvious. stop defending this woman and get a life- #-or get involved on the side of trans people #or just generally drop the fucking series you read as a middle schooler. nostalgia isn't more important than the lives of trans/jewish ppl

I love when trans people say that NOBODY identifies as nonhuman. Like. Guess I don't exist now! Yay, I've always wanted to not be real!

#you don't have to tear otherkin folks down just to defend trans people #we can live in peace jamie #hell a lot of otherkin folks ARE transgender #vent ish

Once you're able to stop putting all of your energy into debating your gender and even existance and start putting your energy into being yourself, living becomes easier

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #never again will i waste a microsecond defending my right to live. #i will fight to live. i do not debate. i refuse to debate #and i hope all trans people have the option to just BE #if you are able to: don't debate your existance. you aren't a goddamn debate topic. you're a PERSON #my online experience especially is so so so much less toxic #i've blocked so many people lmao. but i can actually have FUN online without worrying about people trying to threaten me #shit still falls between the cracks but still. it's so much better now

The Winter Knight

slow-building urban fantasy mystery

reincarnated arthurian legends living in modern Vancouver

follows a gay autistic college student who’s the reincarnation of sir gawain who just wants to live a normal life

and a 30-something valkyrie woman

when a knight is murdered, she’s assigned to investigate, and he’s pulled into things after finding the body

m/m and pre-f/f (she is bi ace)

#The Winter Knight #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #this is.....interesting #it is very slow and introspective…. I think because both the main characters are more quiet/isolated #i would def go into it more from a character study perspective than plot #also i know there are buildings on the cover but the vibes of the cover give like….rural fantasy not urban-city fantasy #I feel like most urban fantasy books with modern versions of x y z have them like…..they’re fighting demons or monsters or something #this is just like. they’re existing? there’s the occasional monster but they’re mostly just people living normally. why #I guess probably that is the question the book is trying to answer.. #(ie what Would they do? recreate the narratives they're doomed to repeat? or just live normal boring lives?) #but also like....there could have been a lot more (or different) done with some of it? #it’s very slow up until a final battle at the end. which also brings in 3 new POVs of various major characters briefly? #also. as the number one defender of pop culture references in books I admit I think there’s too much here #like it’s namedropping books and musicians/songs SO often #some of it feels like it could be music as wayne’s special interest - but there’s so much of it not in that context too #anyway something about the combo of that + slowquiet tone made the vibe feel. idk like it doesn't quite mesh #i did enjoy the characters tho? theres some interesting things in here #also yes it is a gawain/green knight romance #the boy is more of a significant mc tbh #+ trans girl major characters; polyam side characters; various other queer chars #there's a line where a character sees his friend “typing in pinyin characters” on her phone which....... #pinyin is the romanisation. pinyin characters is not a thing? SOMEONE editing should have clocked that. surely #tldr mixed thoughts. there are thoughts tho.

"Wrote a transgender man as being in a woman's prison and misgendered him" This is such a stupid take lmao that was the point. Its 2011 Florida. The asshole prison doctor misgenders a trans person who was being put in the wrong prison. The main character didn't react past seeming confused then positive. It's not framed as a good situation. It still happens. What a westerner moment of media literacy lmao. Guess araki is a transphobe. Never read other shonens you'll get a heart attack lol.

I'm literally about to start charging 50 bucks for you guys to send me ask like this to my inbox

#ok buddy and the rest? #the racism #the misogyny #the inaccuracy to his characters and fashion and behaviors despite whatever time period their in #and their magic ghost #did araki NEED to write a scene where a trans man is misgendered in a womans prison and suprising jolyne for the punch line #was that super important to the plot #is the joke of trans ppl especially trans woman being shocking and the butt of the joke in a large part of shonen manga #making it ok? #does that fix the fact that araki probably just shouldnt have written it #that i a trans man who lives in america may not love seeing i t #or how jolyne was goin around call ppl queers? #are you getting your araki good boy poinrs defending him from critiques of his shit writing hm?

Guess what stupid comic I’m finally getting around to drawing

#wip #do not expect it to be good #like I think I’m mostly gonna leave it thumbnail-like with a few jumpscares of things actually drawn in #GIOVANNI GETTING CALLED HOMOPHOBIC COMIC WILL BE DRAWN #I WILL FINISH THIS #this idea has been cooking for like I think a year now so I refuse to not finish it #the gist is: #Gio has to present a PowerPoint on dating #Lys being an asshole as per usual #Gio crying sobbing throwing up trying to defend himself #everyone else is just living for the chaos #Ghetsis and Cy are there #they’re just not shown yet #Cy wishes he was anywhere else #Archie and Maxie make out session (them fighting) #Archie is trans because I love him #Rose got a different meaning about the name ‘Team Rainbow Rocket’ #rainbowpufflez art tag

yeah people overstate the differences between afab and amab people and even forget intersex ppl exist. Some women have a lot of testosterone, some men don't. And then when someone has medically transitioned, the 'differences' become even less visible. It's such a non issue because people are vastly different regardless of gender which can make them better at a sport.

discrimination based on assignment at birth ends up hurting everyone else too because everyone is now looked at under a microscope. this often affects women of color because racism has determined what ideal femininity is and that means woc are targeted. (also because people are more worried about amab people in women's sports so women's sports are more affected by this)

in conclusion gender is literally just a thing that conservatives are being annoying abt and i just wanna watch good footy.

Yup.

The thing is also that for a situation to occur where a trans woman competes as a pro athlete the stars literally need to align.

In basically every major sport you can't just pick it up at 22 and become world class. Like let's look at the fear conservatives are putting out there. They think that any 'man' who is pretending to be trans can just walk into a women's football match and dominate. Like what?

To be a pro athlete you need so much more than just speed and strength, not to mention that the differences are already huge. Players like Anouk Dekker play someone like Mana Iwabuchi. Anouk is 30cm taller than Mana and i'm pretty sure Anouk could crush Mana's bones with her thighs. That is considered fair play because hey, everyone has different qualities. But a trans person joining that squabble is completely out of the question because omg that would be unfair.

The fact that this unit of a woman could smash a lot of guys into the ground is of course an unheard of fact in conservative circles because she is just a girl.

#ask #trans rights #the funniest thing is that Anouk although awesome isn't even an amazing defender #if physicality was so important in football then why isn't she one of the best defenders in the world? #why isn't lynn williams the best forward that ever lived if enhanced speed is why guys would dominate women's football?

Potentially the last day ever of peace (talking to parents this weekend)

#surely there’s no way that hearing ‘I am uncomfortable with the way you were visibly defending Nazis and violenc #violently pushing back trans protestors’ #and be mad at US #like surely they are gunna be like yeah that was shit of me #at the VERY LEAST #the best case scenario is dad quits being a cop #worst case is we cut each other out of our lives #most likely scenario everyone is angry and crying but nothing gets resolved #anyway #nazi ment #bean.txt

More than anything, I hope that what we all get from the new Barbie movie is the idea that by working together and building each other up we're a stronger community. Because those Barbies did NOTHING but love each other and support one another from the get go and I am desperately hoping that sisterhood (this absofuckinglutely includes my trans sisters please don't think it doesn't) and sense of community translates off screen.

Soldier, or Jane Doe, grew up in Kansas on a farm with his parents and cousins. Born in January 1920. The farm was severely affected when the Great Depression hit. His family was already pretty low on funds in the first place, especially when the livestock died off from the long droughts. In 1932, his family finally had it when they lost their home to the Dust Bowl - luckily they didn’t own much in the first place so nothing was really lost - and moved to California. There, the men in the family worked as laborers on farms to earn money, meanwhile Jane and his mother found work in a sewing shop(until child labor laws took affect in 1938 that is). His youngest cousin stayed in the care of a neighbor due to constant illness and her young age.

#slightly tweeked solly hc i dont think i ever posted before #had it sitting in a google doc since march 2020 apparently lol #but ye i still really like this hc :] there is more to it such as his aunt and uncle being able to afford to take their kids back #leaving jane on his own jane losing his mom and now just being raised by his dad #his dad encouraged jane's 'tomboy behavior' bc it was clear he enjoyed playing army and kickball and #well wearing pants ig #like boys and he felt very strongly for it and he wasnt about to just tell his kid no since he 'didnt think or act like other kids' #if his dad had lived long enough to hear jane come out as a trans man he totally would have supported him #would have been confused and slipped up a lot at the start but overall would have defended him all the same #i just think solly deserves a good dad after a fic i read where solly's dad was a bigot :) #sollys dad would have died in combat in 1947 and that would the driving force for him to buy(first earn the money) a ticket to polan #*poland and do what he did in 1949 #tf2 #tf2 headcanons #tf2 soldier

I hate taking interest in something but not being able to rant about it because of not knowing anything about it I hate it

And since yes, this is about DC, if I even try to talk about it to a guy or if someone overhears me ranting, they'll start asking the typical 100 questions like “oh, you like DC? Name every character” because ‘I'm a girl so I can't like comics 🥺’ go fuck yourself

Edit: Fuck it I'm gonna rant about it here. Forgive me for my lack of information

#dc #dcu #let me LIVE #this makes me wish i was a man. i'm not trans i just want the male priviledge #“you like nightwing? name every comic he appears in” glue your gross fucking lips shut you defend devin grayson #‹— this actually fucking happened #woman problems #girl problems #bless my friend mari. she's the only one i can rant to without feeling judged #nesidest my parents and my siblings. but i'm the oldest so id prefer it for my siblings to rant to me #besides* what the fuck
