Fuck off🖕

i think a lot of white queer/trans people need to hear that "breaking gender norms" isnt just wearing a dress while masc or dying your hair. its also unlearning the beauty standards that impose ideals of white beauty and attractiveness on non-white folks. yes you have a nose ring but i just heard you tell your black friend with meticulously cared for natural hair "you'd just look so nice with straight hair is all im saying..." why does your blog fetishizing i mean uh. appreciating trans women only feature skinny white women who pass. when societal gender norms are so inextricably tied to whiteness and emulating whiteness it is not enough to simply change your aesthetic. you need to defy the gender norms in your own head too.

since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"

BEE HIVES HAVE SEASONAL GENDERS?

Nonhuman expressions of affection are great. Purring. Exposing weak points as a show of trust. Head bonks. Preening and chewing. Nuzzling. Biting. Intertwining tails. Feeding each other. Little chuffs, chatters, beeps and squeaks. Fluffing up of feathers, fur or other things. Dancing to impress. Cleaning their fur, scales, feathers or skin. Sharing body heat. Ears pointing toward those you care about to show your full attention is on them. Slow blinking.

Nonbinary people can use they/them pronouns, or it/its, or neopronouns,

But they can also use he/him and she/her pronouns, and that doesn’t make them any less nonbinary.

Nonbinary people can present androgynously,

But they can also present masculinely or femininely, and that doesn’t make them any less nonbinary.

Nonbinary people can go on HRT and get surgeries to physically transition,

But they don’t have to, and that doesn’t make them any less nonbinary.

Nonbinary people can choose a new name/a different name from their birth name,

But they can also go by their birth name or some variation of it, and that doesn’t make them any less nonbinary.

There are no “rules” to being nonbinary. That’s kind of the whole point. Nonbinary people are nonbinary no matter how they present.

I tried to be human once and I didn‘t enjoy the experience whatsoever

back where I belong. (in bed.)

Jokes on me I don't know how to socialize irl or online

Reminder from someone with actual literal brain damage from a brain injury to stop fucking using "brain damage" and "brain injuries" as a means of describing someone whose opinions you don't like or deem as stupid.

It's ableist and offensive as fuck, and for some reason a lot of leftist people think it's okay to use. I've seen posts replying to right wing racists calling them "brain damaged if you believe this" and "do you have a brain injury? do you not understand X?". Just now I saw a beautiful post about fat people throughout history that was absolutely ruined by opening with "How do we break it to boomers with actual brain damage and nostalgic brainrot..." before continuing to say that fat people existed throughout history.

Brain damage does not make you racist. A brain injury doesn't make you stupid, or fatphobic, or unaware of history and politics. Stop fucking using my disability as a catch all to describe people you think are shitty. Y'all use it like it's a replacement for how people used to use the R-slur, which shows you learned absolutely nothing about why the R-slur was wrong to use and decided to throw in other disabilities instead. Fuck off and stop doing it.

(And don't do it with other disabilities either, because I know y'all do.)

I know a lot of people with brain injuries. They're smart, and funny, and compassionate. They learn about the world and care about social issues and wish they could go to protests if their disability won't allow them to. Are there right wing people with brain injuries? Sure, absolutely. But they are not right wing because they have a brain injury, and using any disability as an insult is still fucking ableist.

Tldr - stop using brain damage and brain injury as an insult. It's ableist and incredibly offensive.

Love, your local brain injured/brain damaged pal

this one goes out to all you sickos on tumblr at 10 am on a monday

yet another reminder that disabled adults are adults.

Being permanently mentally ill doesn't mean you'll be permanently unhappy

It’s okay if you have a love-hate relationship with your disability btw. It’s your relationship, you get to decide and work through your feelings abt it.
