Tumblr Top Ships Bracket - Round 1 Side 2

This poll is a celebration of fandom and fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement, and refrain from harassment.

I was hanging out at the karaoke bar, chatting with a beautiful woman, and we were really hitting it off. I threw a couple of flirtatious comments her way. She giggled nervously, but abruptly stopped and looked at the floor.

She told me that she was too nervous to hit on people because she's trans and worries that people will view her as a predator and that she might get hurt.

My heart sank. I let her know that she could hit on me in whatever way she wanted and I would LOVE it. We spent the rest of the night hanging out and flirting. We ended up making out. It was great.

But I can't stop thinking about how that wasn't the first time a trans woman has said that to me. About how unsafe it is for some women that they feel the need to give out fucking disclaimers to have normal interactions with people.

We have GOT to make the world a safer place for trans women. It pisses me off that there are men at the bar who are openly predatory towards me without fear of consequence, yet a trans woman is too scared to even fucking call me pretty. And that's because she IS more likely to face worse consequences for lesser things! Like what the fuck!

You need to always check on your internalized biases. Being queer yourself doesn't absolve you of transmisogynistic thoughts and behaviors. Being bi/pansexual doesn't mean you don't hold those biases either! If you feel differently about a trans woman hitting on you than you feel about a cis woman or a man hitting on you, you need to evaluate that.

Trans women, I love you so fucking much. You should be able to express attraction and love as freely as everyone else. I hope you can always feel safe around me. And I'll never stop fighting until you can feel safe period.

taking the wentzian approach to my schoolwork (writing a bunch of arrogantly wordy prose to hide the fact i did barely any research and am about to talk out my ass)

there's a massive cadre of people on here who can best be described by the phrase "be gay do war crimes"

never let being a girl stop you from being a boy

I want to test something.

If you identify with multiple, pick the one you have a stronger attachment to.

So some good news! I only need $225 left to get the abortion pill in time (due to an assault a few weeks ago) AND I also just got an email saying I've been hired for the store manager position! I may cry, things seem to be getting better so I'm hoping it lasts, but this pregnancy still has me beyond terrified. I'm doing card tarot readings and @scarsofbeauty and @saturnpandora are doing art commissions.

$157 left!
