what do you mean youre technically a detransitioner cause of terf bullshit?

it's a v long story but i detransitioned for a couple of years when i was 16/17, for multiple reasons but mostly because i fell into the blaire white/kalvin garrah chamber of "you have to be This way to be trans otherwise you're not real".

i was already Deeply insecure about myself and my 'passing' and i was led to believe that i couldn't want to wear makeup or skirts, and i couldn't choose not to have bottom surgery, and i couldn't do anything but bind for 12+ hours a day to the point that my ribcage is still misshapen. basically i thought that if i wasn't suffering enough doing 'feminine' things, i couldn't really be trans, so i should just go back to being a girl and suck it up.

the terf bullshit is because i'd seen a lot of terfs/detransitioners talking about the 'dangers' of testosterone and how it would turn me into a horrible ugly evil monster and how there was nothing worse than wanting to be a man. which combined with 'you need to fully medically transition to be valid at all' creates some very dangerous and upsetting feelings to cope with.

it also came from trying really hard to put myself in a little box before i realised that my sexuality/gender are very fluid and it's FINE for me not to have a label and just do whatever i want. when i was 19 or so i went back to using they/them (and eventually he/him) and changed my name again because even though i like doing 'feminine' things, i don't want to be seen as a woman.

tldr: i was conditioned by transphobic/terf rhetorics to think that i was being trans the 'wrong' way so i couldn't be trans at all, so i believed i must actually be a girl if i still wanted to do 'feminine' things. nowadays i am a transmasc who does feminine things because i don't give two shits about what any transmed prick thinks of me anymore.

#ramble #ok to reblog btw i'm fine with this being shared #this was meant to be a short version but this is just the whole story whoops #sorry i realised the way i phrased it sounded like i'm the detrans you see in the news #i'm Technically a detransitioner because a lot of detrans stats are people who go on to RETRANSITION #because detransition is often because of social stigma and not because you realised you weren't trans #so anyway. terfs are cancer and if you don't think their bs is harming children you're wrong #i know it's easy to say 'you should've used your brain and realised those people were wrong' #but like. when you're 16 you're SO impressionable. even if you think you aren't #especially when you're watching people who have been transitioning longer than you and you assume they know everything #i was in my mid-late teens when 'transtrender' videos were MASSIVE and i believed it!!! and i was Not nice about those people #all they made me believe was that being trans couldn't be colourful and comfy and fun. it just had to be Pain #i hope everyone who contributed to the 'you need to be this way to be trans' mindset knows how much hurt they've caused #nowadays i don't care. go and be stargender. we have actual problems to deal with not debates about neopronouns #anyway this was long. that's the story

got sent a tiktok where one of our gifs of ourselves was used in the thumbnail + beginning of the video. gentle reminder in case anyone sees this that we're all very uncomfortable with our homemade gifs, esp when it includes us in the video and isnt just of objects, being reuploaded off of tumblr at all :[ ty!!

-🥬

#esp without credit </3 pls dont put your @ over top of one of our homemade gifs #i dont feel too comfy with video/gifs of us being reuploaded off tumblr #we include that disclaimer in all of our homemade gif posts bc of this #ik a lot of people just like. take gifs off pinterest or off stimboards without bothering to check #this is just like a gentle plea to please check the sources on the gifs you use and to properly credit your gifs #theres more to say on this topic than a quick 1am tag rant on a post abt smth else #but theres a really big problem with not checking sources and not crediting within the stim community and especially off of tumblr #like people who just steal off of pinterset and google images and then say 'oh idk i saved this forever ago' or 'its from google' #not to be rude but also fully to be firm its so easy to credit your gifs and sources it takes us maybe 20 minutes at most to link a board #and its so easy when you go in with the intent to link it. just like the posts you download gifs from or open them in another tab #if youre using desktop firefox has such a quick extention to reverse image search and the results will pull up the original post+ #+or the tags on a post that used the same gif to make it so easy to find the original #if youre gonna make stimboards that include someone elses content #be it homemade gifs or gifs you made from someone elses video #or even gifs made of a third party video you downloaded off tumblr or pinterest or google images #you *need* to credit the creator #and respect the boundaries of the creator. #we make sure the stuff we upload on any blog isnt harmful at all. that animals in gifs are respected that creators arent awful that+ #+the video isnt made using generative ai. and like. not saying everyone has to go to those lengths. just that its doable and so easy #theres really no excuse to plagiarize and take a gif someone made of themselves and put your own url on it #even if you made the compilation its so easy to just *also* add the op's url + platform in somewhere else visible on the image #and its also so easy to like. go to the website google images is showing you for the image or reverse search the pinterest post #to make sure the creator is ok with their own video of themselves being posted on tiktok #:/ #not stim #mod talk

I started rewatching Peaky Blinders and my god I love the overall mood and cinematography of the series so much. Haven't painted in a looong time but I felt inspired and decided to use my love for the show as a way to get some actual practice in.

I have been meaning to try to teach me some painting theory and general things for ages so here is the first attempt at trying to copy a scene. It's the first time I've done a study like that so it isn't the best and certainly not the most accurate but that's what learning is for, isn't it?

#sly draws #i don't find it too shabby #but my patience ran out halfway through so it's unfinished #better to start something and not finish it in one go than to never start it in the first place #which i do a lot #especially when it won't be perfect in the first try #i know I'm rambling but posting something like that is not easy for me #so i'm using this as another sort of training to get me comfy with my art and it not being perfect from the get go #if it ever will be

#of course you have a zillion idea for faves' Looks. & also simultaneously none; if you're me #here's one: just the combo Different But Overlapping W/More Usual approach #easy to imagine winston Stays comfy to a sufficient degree &/or oft sticks to a Default kind of outfit approach. but anything's possible #like shaking things up gently for taylor too. always appropriate. ideal person from work to run into; as is often true #they can't make you link up that little taylor sketch w/any Sequence here. it can be its own independent taylor reaction lol #w/their slightly raised shoulders / all the more elevated [expressions i particularly like] it creates momentum like #well now i'd go and elevate winston's [expressions i particularly like] even more lol. the Especially Enjoyed trademarks/classics.... #and of course we do not have winston running into taylor without Also being 💖😳 about it. what's Ever going on around here #tayston #winston billions #corned beef #winston's little a gnc with it even just in his tees & cargo pants. no normativity out here. genderdivergent & neurononconforming #i Did move to add sparkly gold eyeliner?shadow? take your pick b/c [Autistacity Shoutout] #taylor's outfit coloration based on [picked a medium grey like a tanktop akd had] & then was going to have spun off from a deep purple or #more like the burgundy taylor wears but a much lighter color would've just been more helpful w/all the Other lighter colors; like the lines #namely the lines showing up against it....so; stunningly; a bit more light blue for us all lol #another moment of pencil lineart but this time drawn today vs months ago. some digital editing; all digital coloring #as inaccessibly discussed prior....epic highs & triumphs of spontaneous sorts of [existing outside work's hostile environment] meetups #yes this is hoodie vs hoodie moments (they would never fight) (they may kiss???)

BG3 is fun because your entire party gets routinely wiped off the board by a brain with legs

#listen I play games for the story #um I need a story mode difficulty becahse im just enjoying myself not using my brain to plan out a battle plan #at least not to start with #and your starting gear is so shitty 😭😭 #I’m like ahhhh LAY ON HANDS LAY ON HA - fucking dead my entire party is DEAD #ok will try again later #like I only put dragon age inquisiton on nightmare when I’m going to KE because I’m super comfy with the combat style and I know my build #it’s really fun because it’s challenging #but now that I picked sword and board I changed it to normal because I don’t know how to play #so the turn based combat in bg3 is hard for me and i still don’t understand the mechanics #so I want difficulty modes so I can put it on easy learn to play and get the story #I don’t want a challenge me personally I wanna see the story #so I am patiently waiting for difficulty options ♥️

omg yes!! i knew immortal in a strangers lap had to be yours!!

(also dont feel pressured to answer this btw if you want to keep it quiet/only for people who look)

Ok so, I held onto this for way to long because I wasn't totally sure if I was emotionally ready to claim it as mine but then I was like, the information is out there on my tumblr page if you go looking for it, and despite how dark it is, it is a fic I am weirdly proud of 😂 Thank you so much for reading and I'm going to hope this means you enjoyed it! I don't think I'm going to be claiming in on AO3 any time soon because I think it then sends an email to all of your user subscribers? (Unsure at this time) and THAT I'm not sure if I'm ready for- BUT thank you so much for reading and for reaching out! 🥰 I hope you are having a lovely week and a lovely Christmas if you celebrate! Thank you so much again for your support!

❤️Ally

#allylikethecat #ask ally #anon ask #fanfiction #keep it kind #matty fic #gatty #immoral in a stranger's lap #the ally deep cuts #the secret hidden ally fics if you will #but actually they're pretty easy to find if you go onto my tumblr page on desktop lol #anyway thank you so very much for reading and I hope you enjoyed it #i also hope that no one else is upset by the content after finding out that i wrote it #i do wanna say it is tagged to the best of my abilities!! #its a dark one so i guess ... use your best judgement about what kind of content you're comfy with #merry christmas!

like yeah i COULD do my calc homework. but i could also rot

#so so sooo so so tired of having a body. im #actually theres an easy and simple solution to this and its to delete instagram #i redownloaded it so i could message some people but ive fallen into the trap of instagram reels #maybe just maybe the constant stream of bbl at home workout lose 27 pounds in six days diet wieiad as a ballerina shy girl workout isnt good #for us. so here is how i am going to crawl out of this hole #i am going to delete instagram. and then i am going to put on comfy clothes #and then i am going to do some laundry #and then i will do my calc work. and afterward i will do something good and easy and relaxing and i wont feel bad for not being productive. #and then on wednesday i will get some lotion (because all my skin is peeling) and some hair dye. maybe red but the jury is still out #and ill cut and dye my hair again. and hopefully feel a little more alive. try to stretch more. that might help. i hope it helps #if u read this far i love u. we will climb out of these holes together even if they take a few tries #my post

For allies and other genderqueer people...

If you're curious about someone's pronouns and are unsure of their gender, ask personally. If you want to know where someone's landed in a gender journey because where they are has changed from where you knew them- and they've largely yet to tell people- ask personally.

Don't corner someone. Don't confront someone. Just ask casually and privately if you feel you must. Please.

Because otherwise, you're making someone choose between the discomfort of being untrue to themselves or the discomfort of outing themselves in public where that might not be safe.

Don't, for example, ask a "hypothetical" someone in front of a large group- some of whom are complete strangers and some of whom are old friends this person has not seen in literally years- if pronouns have changed. Even if everyone at the table is queer. Don't ask someone this in the middle of a restaurant in ear-shot of other patrons and all the employees. Don't then proceed to yell across the table asking about this person's gender journey and if this person bought a binder and if this person binds, and where this person's transition might go from here. Even if you are genderqueer and at one time explored your gender expression in a similar way.

When this totally "hypothetical" person hedges around the questions with a shrug and an "I don't know," don't press this person. Drop it. Certainly, don't insist on using a different set of pronouns than the ones you were previously familiar with. "How about they/them? I'll use they/them." Because now this person has to choose between being misgendered or coming out in the middle of a fucking restaurant miles away from home and in front of strangers. And even if this person chooses to stay in the closet at that moment by asking you to use old pronouns, you have still made this person choose between being misgendered or coming out in public in front of literal strangers.

And also! Don't tell a totally "hypothetical" dude that he needs to discover the wonders of being involved with women romantically and sexually immediately after he tells you he's a dude and, yes, he likes guys. And don't insist that one day he'll have a sexuality crisis and realize he's "gay" because he probably, truly likes women. And when he corrects you and tells you, "If I'm a dude and I'm exclusively into chicks, that'd make me het," don't double down. Because that tells him that you essentially see him as "girl lite" or a different font of girl. You see him as a chick who's just so quirky that she uses he/him pronouns and goes by an edgy name as a "fuck you" to the patriarchal gender binary, but that's not who HE is.

#gender journey #I had a terrible night last night #I told them to call me Evan and use he/him pronouns #as quietly as I could #and then felt off about it all night #and woke up this morning feeling so wrong #it was the first time my name and pronouns were used in public rather than private- like my home or a friend's home #and it felt foreign and off #nothing like the joy I felt when I came out online #I couldn't stop smiling the first time I told my discord server to change my pronoun preference to he/him #it felt comfy and easy the first time moots greeted me with a 'lil 'Hi Evan' #and I was having trouble this morning reconciling that joy with the fear I felt last night #shouldn't I be happy? #All night I just wanted to put the cat back in the bag #I am still so unsure of myself. I don't think I was ready for a public announcement like that #the difference. I think (besides the anonymity of online allowing me more freedom) is that I came out online on my own terms #I don't like truly public announcements #every time I heard 'he' and 'him' last night it rang in my ears #not in the same way that she/her does; with discordance #but more with unfamiliarity and peculiarity #like I was experiencing a ten-second lag all night #I'm not yet used to the sound of my new name #it might be too different from the name I've been hearing for the last 26 yrs of my life #but a part of me feels backed into the corner #I told them my name. And now there's no going back #I can't walk back into the closet #I wasn't ready. Plain and simple #my dysphoria with being afab is also just hitting really hard today

[biblically-accurate-soup]

love being just some guy actually

#ashe speaks #i don’t know how else to explain it #after my initial period of realization it’s just comfy you know #like i’m a boy. just am i’m just chilling #i think i used to be self conscious about not being enough of a ‘boy’ #but now it’s just easy. just a facet of who i am #doesn’t matter if my hair is long or short or if i sit like a heathen or cover my mouth when i laugh #like i’m just a guy you know #nothing about me really changed when i started going by different pronouns #except that i felt more myself and more happy when i used masculine terms for myself #but to any newly out trans person out there who feels insecure about it #relax babes. it takes some time but once you adjust it will be so seamless
