Me fighting against my brain making me think I have same face syndrome
it's so important for your health and well-being to get overly attached to a fictional man who is both deeply amoral and unbelievably, pathetically sad
i’m too scared to watch 3rd life in its entirety, so this is the first time i actually saw the infamous “you may slay me and take the enchanter”
it was so awesome and heartbreaking but all i could think about was this post LOL
Man what the fuck is it that makes people think intersex advocacy is transphobia
I was explaining how this art with trans colors would go better next to a personal essay that was made by a genderfluid intersex person than my own essay because they are trans and I am not and often intersex erasure is done via sliding us into some other category plus it erases the unique experiences of trans intersex people to conflate transness and intersexuality
And my classmate, who is trans, said "it's fine if you don't want to be associated with trans people" like girl. Ma'am. I gave you TV Glow on my ONLY flash drive and you never returned it. Everyone in my life is fucking trans! Do I fucking LOOK like I'm trying to not be associated with trans people? I'm asking people who know and respect me to know and respect my fucking identity.
My partner, who is both trans and Mexican, agrees that this shit is like "Hey I'm actually Cuban, and while I have experiences in common with and solidarity with Mexicans, I'd rather be associated with Cuban culture since I am Cuban. Maybe this person who is both Cuban and Mexican is a better fit to put by the Mexican flag art." And then having someone be like "its fine if you don't wanna be associated with Mexicans." Like. Is that what was said? Is that the energy being given?
That's what's happening here. I feel fucking insane every single day. The way it's happening irl and I'm literally just asking for people to remember I am intersex and not trans. Why is saying im not trans somehow me being fucking transphobic. Please explain. Why is forcing intersex people to overexplain again and again while we face the same violence as trans folks plus extra fun medical rape and whatnot somehow FINE to so many people? This person is a fucking tutor acting like this, too. Grow up
(I don't crop names out of posts, this has 7k notes and people are already tearing them apart in the replies and they refuse to delete it, deal with it op)
As you can imagine, there's like 7k notes on this of "ohhh op I had no idea my bad!! Signal boost!" Because apparently we need to make sure we're not giving anything to those privileged TMEs (read: anyone that isn't a trans woman because the laws and judgement in the UK now also abides by the TME/TMA framework and doesn't harm other kinds of trans people. Magically. I'm being sarcastic this person is a fucking moron.)
If you're a trans ally and you blindly reblog this kind of thing please. Please for the love of God stop just blindly following what any trans person tells you. The idea that trans men don't need support or resources because societies everywhere just accepts us as is will literally kill us, and spreading that online is not the true supportive ally move you think it is.
Help a homie out today! bite his boobs off!
My deaf spiderwoman OC, Marisol 🕷
Miles knows ASL and even tho it's the Insomniac version of him Imma headcanon all versions of Miles know ASL because that cool asf!
Marisol communicates solely in ASL. She's Italian-American and LOVES pastels and hearts.
In deaf culture they use light to alert and get others attention so I wanted to incorporate light into her fighting style. She uses flash bombs and the main part of her suit, which is based off of the Mirror Spider's reflective back, can blind temporarily enemies. The eyes of her suit allow her to see in the intense light and are very expressive (an important part of signing).
She's not fully flushed out yet and this is only the 2nd iteration of her design so she will definitely change in the future. But for now I want to figure out what her face looks like and draw her with clothes over her suit because she does so all the time.
Imagine a world where homosexuality was still in the DSM but society had moved gradually toward some moderate acceptance of queer people, but only with the understanding that we are sick and that leading out our queer lives is medically necessary for us. in this paradigm, a person would have to get diagnosed with homosexuality by a psychiatrist in order to be permitted to have gay sex
this is basically the reality that trans people are living in right now. and that's for those of us that are lucky enough to live in a place where we *are* allowed to lead out trans lives once we get gender dysphoria written down in our medical charts
