i dunno all this talk about not liking men is making me self conches so like. i just want y’all to know. there is a difference between not being attracted to men in a romantic or sexual way and feeling alienated in a society that caters to them and not liking men just bc they’re icky gwoss and women are soooo much better >_<
so like. when a lesbian talks about being in the first category don’t jump to conclusions and start to believe they actually belong in the second category. you can be someone who isn’t attracted to men and also doesn’t hate men for no good reason

I’m reading up on the Harry Potter vs Percy Jackson debate for a school project, and saw someone say that the golden trio is better than the og trio because Ron and Hermione balance out with Harry better. The first point they made though is that Annabeth’s pride shines too bright.
First of all, Hermione also started out very prideful and honestly more insufferable than Ananbeth was. Second, ANNABETH’S FATAL FUCKING FLAW IS PRIDE!! LIKE OFC SHES GOING TO BE THAT WAY??

genuinely it's been devastating and heartbreaking to watch this happen in real time. i've watched the tgirl community grow over the last year on tumblr as a bunch of twitter and reddit refugees came and made accounts, and everyone started following everyone else and it really started to feel like a Community.
tgirl tumblr is what helped me make the leap to get back on hormones, i've never felt more comfortable or confident in my body and my self as a trans woman and it's due in large part to the kind of support and community we built here together.
and now i'm watching in real time as it crumbles apart, because so many people hate us and not enough people care enough to stop them. the website hates us, the terfs hate us, even other members of the community who should be rallying to our aid hate us. all we've got is each other and now even that is being taken away as accounts are blasted out of existence with no warning for daring to question the pissbaby ceo.
it just sucks

randomly thinking about how the anti "transandrophobia truthers" people never think trans men ever face misogyny, especially if they're out of the closet and can pass as a man, and i'm here masculine as hell and would pass to THEM but yet my voice gets me misgendered all the time, to the point during phone calls people will refuse to believe I am who I say I am because of the masculine name not matching up with the voice and so they always automatically assume I am my own sister or mother, and my own urogynecologist fully sees me as a woman despite my FULL BEARD and my bear of a body
like yeah totally i completely have all the same exact experiences and privileges as a cis man! /s
Edit: actually lol to make the point further, I am still here with the full beard and masculine attire and so I'm probably what they'd call "cishet passing" and yet when I go out, I am misgendered ALL the time now because of the combination of my voice, my long hair, and wearing a mask that covers up a good bit of my face. I'm misgendered more than I'm gendered correctly, actually. Like really blows my mind bc I will see these ppl call ppl they dont even KNOW irl "cishet passing" based on seeing pictures of them when that doesn't = reality and also that's a fucking gross ass term.

trans rights were human rights yesterday. trans rights are human rights today. and trans rights will be human rights tomorrow.
trans women are women. trans men are men. non binary people are non binary and valid in their gender identities.
intersex people exist, and are so incredibly valid in however they wish to talk about their biological sex and present their gender identities.
pronouns deserve to be respected. (of course this doesn't give you the right to attack people for accidentally slipping up, but as long as they take your correction and retry we move on. we are all human and make mistakes. the good is in the intention, if someone's intention is to harm or erase then THAT'S transphobic.)
trans women are not predators. some trans women may be not nice people or use that to their advantage, but there are shitty people in every group of people. the nasty people are always the minority. 99.9% of trans women are just trying to survive in the world and literally just want to pee. one bad person does not make an entire group bad. so, i repeat, trans women are not predators.
the existence of trans women is not erasing the female experience. if anything, it should be enriching the female experience! women's rights are women's rights, and that includes trans women. cause trans women are women.
the lives and existence of trans people should never be placed below the mere comfort of cis people.
trans joy is real and so fucking beautiful.
cis is not a slur. just like straight is not a slur. just like white is not a slur. just like able bodied is not a slur. just like neurotypical is not a slur. it is simply a term to refer to a group of people.
black trans people, i love you
disabled trans people, i love you
non-queer trans people, i love you
queer trans people, i love you
closeted trans people, i love you
trans men, i love you
trans women, i love you
non binary people, i love you
gender queer people, i love you
unlabeled and/or confused people, i love you
anyone who falls under the non-cis umbrella, i love you
thank you for being here. you are so loved and appreciated, and im sorry that the world doesn't see that. we will always be fighting by your sides.
trans rights are human rights.

hi i'm really interested in space lesbians! where are they, who are they? how can i see them? (shows, games, books?) also what are you most excited about in s2 of ofmd?
OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY
soooooo my space lesbian enthusiasm refers to 3 separate medias!! (it used to say gay space vikings bc that was an even more specific niche buuuut im way more into tihylttw these days s o) one day i am going to make a fuckin venn diagram of my girls because they all have so many similarities. (loki/sigyn and angela/sera are basically the same characters change my mind.)
this is about to get real long bc im unhinged about them <3 10/10 would talk about them all day if the communities were there
our first space lesbians are loki + sigyn from the bifrost incident! TBI is an album by the band the mechanisms which you can find wherever you listen to music (youtube here) its a norse mythology inspired rock/steampunk-esque album and it is SO GOOD- it takes place on a train in SPACE in the format of an incident investigation. its a story so you have to listen to the tracks in order :)
--
next up! this is how you lose the time war- our lesbians in this are called red + blue because we have deconstructed this trope to its most basic format at this point :') its a short book, and you may be familiar with it as it went viral from a trigun fan tweet a few months back. (my url (and sewing blog url) are actually references to a quote from this book!) you can get it wherever you get books and id recc the audiobook if youre into that i am also in possession of the pdf if you wantto try before you buy.
tihylttw is a story told through the exchange of letters between two agents on opposite sides of a war- it usually gets described as enemies to lovers but id personally use rivals as i think it describes them better. the book is known for being incredibly poetic and sometimes pretentious in its writing and i just think its the most beautiful thing ever. lesbians do it better
honestly theres nothing i could say for tihylttw better than it could say for itself, i just adore the universe theyve built and i want to KNOW MORE. i love you and i love you and i want to find out what that means together

saving the best for last is my girls angela + sera. the most of all time. nobody compares to them for me. they consume me
angela + sera are from marvel comics and you can find my complete reading list here, but if im talking about them positively, im usually talking about one of the titular Angela comics, and more often than not queen of hel.
honestly i love the angela comics so much that im making myself speechless trying to figure out where to start. Angela falls into the asgard side of marvel comics, though she is a lot more fluid in her affiliations, her whole thing being that she deals in deals- nothing for nothing everything has its price. she is at times described as emotionless and is generally quite a stoic character, especially around strangers. the major exception to this is her wife, sera. seras one of marvels few canon trans characters and i think she is just so wonderfully written. shes witty and cheeky and doesnt take shit from anyone, even when it gets her into trouble- and oh boy does sera find herself in some predicaments! the angela comics are often just as poetic as tihylttw for me, theyll drop an 'as long as you are with me, i am not afraid' and ill need to go smother myself in a pillow for a sec. in QOH they adopt a daughter who is Also a lesbian, shes an alternate version of leah of hel and i ALSO adore her.
im desperately trying to avoid plot points but god. the main arc is 21 issues of smooching Shakespearean space angels what more could you want?
(through sera & angela we get a lot of heven lore and honestly that could be its whole own thing for me im SO fascinated.)
my girls are currently in comic hell, i am praying they will get something good soon 🙏🙏
--
and what am i most excited about for season 2? can i just say izzy? can i just say anne + mary? dude im so ready for some lesbians you have no idea actually you probably have a very good idea if you made it this far down. im incredibly excited to be seeing izzy get a favourable arc this season, im really hoping to see him develop relationships with everyone else, see him grapple with feelings around ed (actually im really hoping he chooses not to forgive ed. for growth) im excited to see whats gonna go down with his leg, im excited to see wtf is going on w ed + stede because i have no idea what the continuity is at the moment, im just excited!!!!!! i honestly dont think theres anything im not excited about everything looks so good so far
