was scrolling through a fight in the comments of a really not controversial at all post (but it was about trans people. so y’know). and the comments were as always being derailed by what-fucking-ever and someone was fighting over something, and one of them pulls out the “oh? well then explain to me why [some form of prejudice i don’t remember] is bad!” and the other person did
AND THEN
PERSON NUMBER ONE WAS JUST LIKE “oh okay, i can see how that’s bad actually, thank you for explaining”
AND PERSON NUMBER TWO WAS LIKE “thank you for open to new information! it can be really scary to confront prejudices, thanks for listening!”
tumblr dot com really is the finest hellsite the internet has to offer i have never seen someone learn from their mistakes on tiktok or be open to listening to others on twitter
Does anyone have the fucking tiktok video of the overly enthusiastic rich bearded guy showing off his new hiking shoes in his Mansion and the Woods, but then another dude duets with it to make it look like he's escaping from being held prisoner please please
edit THANKS @smellslikebot
cashier: ok that'll be $20
me (visibly sweating): ah, yes, of course! a perfectly reasonable price for a grilled cheese and a small smoothie! that was exactly the price i expected you to say when i ordered a single grilled cheese and a smoothie and my vision is NOT getting blurry as we speak! i am a perfectly normal temperature and my speech patterns are natural and even because this is the countenance of an individual who expected to pay 20 american dollars for a single grilled cheese and a smoothie!
cashier: where's all that blood coming from

in order to remove the sexual stigma placed on breasts, we must move past the act of shaming people who are brave enough to go topless in public. myself and another transfem friend went topless at our local pride parade not because we were trying to be "sexual" at pride, but to protest the idea that some chests are viewed as inherently sexual and illegal to be viewed publicly, while some are not. it's not a sexual act for someone with breasts to take their shirt off.
i did not have anyone give me rude or sexual comments. i received a lot of approving nods, thumbs up and polite compliments, people were even reminding me that that's the spirit of pride, and hoped that they were brave enough to do the same in the future.
sometimes it's nearly 100 degrees and people with breasts get dangerously overheated. sometimes people with breasts just don't want to wear a shirt. their breasts are not an object for you to get upset about. their breasts are not an object for you to make a moral argument about. their breasts are a part of their body, and they're not scarring or hurting anyone by existing, they are another organ on the human body and someone else's breasts are not up for you to debate about.

The darkness will spare my soul.
when i call myself queer, i don't mean queer as in watered down to fit cishet tastes, i mean:
queer as in not your token gay or your gay best friend,
queer as in more bite than bark and proudly so,
queer as in the only thing you need to know about is the pepper pray and switchblade in my pocket from years of fear of the streets at night,
queer as in loud and proud and shouting out fuck you.
my identity is not water color so diluted you'd never know it's there without being told, my identity is spray paint on city walls that makes you wonder how it got there,
my identity is drag shows and men kissing men with passion,
my identity is not going to taste sweet in your mouth,
my identity is sour and bitter and bites back harder.
i do not exist to fit within the confines of boxes drawn by the hands of cishet bigots dreaming of crossing out my life, i exist at riots and rallies and pride parades along side allies; i exist in strength and pride earned by bricks thrown and i will not be silenced:
my trans body deserves to occupy space in any situation and my gay heart deserves to beat without fear.

i may be physically deteriorating, but at least i’m mentally falling apart
