The line between binary and nonbinary trans people is nowhere near as clean as some of yall think it is

The fact that Adaine "i don't know if im asexual im 15" Abernant and Riz "why is everyone so horny im definately aroace" Gukgak both being in the same show is incredibly important to me

been seeing old fans of the graphic novel complaining about goldenloin's new design compared to the old with pictures of the comics' design side by side with the movie's calling the new one terrible

i promise you can miss the long hair without dismissing the new design as a whole

especially considering the efforts at diversity in the movie

Do I still have to see people blanket defining bisexuality in a reductive and incorrect way in 2023? Do I?

watching shuro get redeemed in the eyes of the fandom like HA... vindication

"....When did we get to the point where natural hair is no longer associated with ...Black People? Black Women?"

Non blacks pls dni.

Have to amplify this woman's valid and articulate short on the relevance of this topic bc, whew smh, I have discussed the same thing here — and am both just as disturbed (and honestly? a little let down?) by Black Women letting go the equity we had in natural hair. Esp just to pick harmful maintenance/norms right back up. I do understand that we, as a race of women all by ourselves, have sooooooo many odds stacked against us regarding what we do with our hair and how we take care of it, but I cannot for the life of me understand what the purpose or benefit is supposed to be in returning to things that actually harm us disproportionately.

For good measure, she also spoke more directly and at length about this issue, it's toxically influential spaces and platforms — as well as the colorism, texturism and misogynoir in general at it's core. So glad I'm not the only Black Woman being transparent about how backwards the nhc/nhm is going.

If there was ever a shadow of a doubt that Dragona is transgender, this chapter was sure as fuck confirmation! 👀

i honestly feel like the cis vs. trans debate depends on how we’re defining the terms. “trans” as in “no association with your agab whatsoever”? probably excludes a good sum of trans people. “cis” as in “only expresses their gender through stereotypical presentation and/or never experiments with the concept of gender”? probably excludes a good chunk of cis people. but this doesn’t necessarily conflict with or negate the cultural significance of being cisgender or transgender and labeling those experiences as such. cis and trans people obviously receive very different treatments and privileges, so it’s less about strictly defining what it means to be cis or trans and more about how these terms (as broad groupings) help us understand and identify where we stand. they’re communication devices first and foremost, not diagnoses. i hope that makes sense

It's 'support trans lesbians' until they're not binary trans women. Until they're trans masc, trans men, or masc AMAB non-binary people.

It comes off as vaguely performative to be honest.

i LOVE gay werewolf posting its my number one hobby. going to write richie gay werewolf very scary door one-shot because we as a society are deprived of bill & richie friendship moments. like don't get me wrong i love fics where bev or stan know he's gay first but like. i feel like it could be any of them, they all know each other so well, they're all so close, it'd just take one oh moment for any of them to realize how in love and how afraid richie is.

The flowers in this scene are not lavender; they are a different type of flower in the colors of the bi pride flag.

Screenshots from the video:

A better lit picture from the video set that Taylor shared on her socials:

Below left = lavender which grows in one color. Below right = larkspur (my best guess) which grows in a variety of colors.

I find this interesting because…

Lavender is a perennial…it comes back automatically year after year.

Larkspur (and its closest relatives that look similar) is an annual…you have to replant this flower every year in order for it to come back. Sort of sounds like a bearding contract… and aligns with my original take on this song that Taylor doesn’t want a lavender marriage.

While we're talking about how using they/them on binary trans people who don't use they/them is misgendering can we also acknowledge that using they/them on people who use it/its pronouns and/or neopronouns is also misgendering? Thanks.

Like I get it's important to discuss when this happens to trans people who use he/him or she/her pronouns to degender them, especially trans women, and we should not stop that discussion, but let's not forget about the people who have this happen to them who are nonbinary, that have it done to them by many other queer people, and who aren't taken seriously because "'they' is still gender neutral" or "you're asking way too much"

not to moralize fiction (and i mean that unironically) but, as a trans person, when a character has a distinct birth name and chosen name and people opt to call them their birth name, i DO take notice of that and that it’s generally cis people who do it.

again, this isn’t me actually making any sort of moral judgement, i just think it’s interesting how chosen names are more likely to be inherently respected as sacred by trans people due to our real life experiences.

for all that i joke with the ' luke uses the dragons & brings up the name targaryen when he argues for his and his brother's legitimacy when it's him being a velaryon that is in question ' ― he's not taking that out of nowhere. it was a discussion when the eggs were put at their cradles. people did discuss how they wouldn't hatch due to how they looked, and due to the possibility of them being bastards. and when vermax, arrax & tyraxes were born, there were people who genuinely took that as a sign they weren't illegitimate ― even though their connection to house targaryen is through their mother, not their father, and he was the one in question. even though it is targaryens who are dragonriders, and their connection to that family remains regardless of all, due to rhaenyra. and luke echoes the idea of their dragons giving them legitimacy, over a decade later, because that's what it was, for them, even though it had nothing to do with it.

ive never felt more like a woman since i had a hysterectomy
