as someone who has been scarred for life by experiences at gay bars, i need people to understand it's beyond tacky to mock people who want queer spaces beyond queer bars- it's dangerous.

let me explain. i went to 2 of my local queer bars a lot last year, as much as i was able to despite being poor. i witnessed a fist fight that was so bloody that ended up with a transmisogynistic drag queen getting hit in the head with a metal baton. the sight caused me to uncontrollably throw up in the bathroom of the club because of how gruesome it was. they had to close down the club and forard people out the back door because of how out of hand this person got- he was screaming transmisogynstic slurs and phrases at the bouncers were were transfem.

i was also sexually assaulted at these places, i was repeatedly groped by several people who i was not interacting with in the first place who found me attractive and decided physically grabbing me on numerous occasions was the way to get my attention. being femme in a queer bar is dangerous even if the people groping you are gay men.

i am also a recovering addict who dealt with alcohol issues in the past and could be considered a recovering alcoholic. i don't want to be around alcohol. i don't want to smell it. it triggers awful memories and also sometimes makes me consider getting a drink, but i can't have one, because the medications i take will cause a fatal reaction- i don't want to be tempted to drink, because it will kill me.

it's not right to mock someone or call them childish or whatever for not wanting to go to a club. whenever alcohol is involved, people's inhibitions are gone and they will do whatever. this includes fighting. i witnessed several other fights. just because it's a queer bar doesn't mean there won't be fights. and it especialyl doesn't m ean that you won't get groped or assaulted because, like i said, since alcohol is involved and it's a bar, there's a high chance this can and will happen.

queer people are not inherently safe angels to be around by virtue of being queer. there are still transphobes in queer bars. tranny chasers come to these bars. homophobic lesbians show up and lesbophobic gay men show up. drag queens and performers bring their cishet friends and family to support their shows. these are not perfect havens. they are not safe. we should not force other queers to interact with inherently dangerous spaces if these are supposed to be our safe spaces.

also these spaces are not friendly to people with disabilities; wheelchair users have nowhere to go especially when it's very crowded. other mobility aids get kicked and knocked over. neurodivergent people can get overstimulated by the deafening music very quickly. photosensitive people can have seizures due to the strobing lights. people with emetophobia like me run the risk of running into those types of triggers. people who are overstimulated by intoxicated people have no choice but to deal with it. dancing is one of the only activities to do other than drink and not many disabled (or even abled) people can dance for extended periods of time comfortably.

not to mention these spaces are not geared toward aromantic or asexual people at all, either. there is a long list of reasons why bars should not be our primary venues of interaction with one another. they serve a specific purpose- for people who want to cruise- but for the rest of us, it's really crucial that we have spaces that provide meaningful interactions with other queers on other levels of our identities.

some people just want to hang out with other queers in a quiet environment and craft, or shop, or drink coffee, or read books together, or just about any other activity on planet earth, and that's not "lame" or "cringy" or bad in any way- these are extremely normal and necessary parts of human interaction that we all require and crave and it's normal to want to do healthy, domestic things with other queers. we need this in our lives.

please take it seriously when people attempt to create queer spaces that don't involve alcohol and bars. it's necessary for our survival and well being as a community.

I don't care if somebody was "born a man" or "born a woman"

We were fucking born as babies, I frankly don't care what you were "born to be," so long as you are happy in the here and now. That's what matters more, not this bioessentialist "you're born this way, and nothing you do or say matters more than how you were born"

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #bioessentialism #'born a man' or 'born a woman' is in my opinion such awful and hilarious wording like. what???#also it is inherently *nobody's* business what you were 'born as'. that's for you to determine #'are you afab?' 'are you amab?' bro. i was born a baby and the rest is drag.

i cant believe i wasn't following u b4,,,,,ive just been silently scrolling through your blog for like a solid YEAR and just haven't even noticed????? n e ways what are tha thoughts on literally anyone in p4 being trans bc i live for that 🎤

the way my brain decided that this was asking for pronoun headcanons and did not reread to make sure that was what you were asking before drawing all of this…... well anyways

#asks & requests #p4 #trans naoto #<- trans everyone lmaooooo #sort of waffling on chie-- he could also be trans or enby easily #ive always thought he would be a 'my gender is lesbian' type person tho LMAO #if hes trans then she and yukiko are as close as they are because trans friends lmao if chie is afab then i think that would come up #accepting his shadow- part of him not feeling 'feminine' enough is that yukiko is more of a woman than her in societys eyes and well.#its not a violent outing bc no one who heard her shadow is like that but chie apologises to yukiko for that #yukiko transitioned pretty early so no one in town (school age at least) really knows #rise is afab its just that she Despises the idea of being a man #kanji is cis but hes cis+ after exploring; does do the occasional drag but is a gay man who happens to use she/her #yosukes whole vibe is 'probably nonbinary but i have a job so i cant worry about that rn'. also i think maybe bigenderism in his future #he/him only for the foreseeable future tho. baby steps #narukami is defo stealth mode for at least the beginning of the game but probably around teddie or naotos shadow she comes out #and i like kuma so ze is like me and uses it/its. :).#ok those are all my notes. sorry for not directly responding to what you asked but i do think what i said is a good answer to your wuestion.#for claritys sake i also live for it.

And our free movie of the day is: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything. Julie Newmar.

You know, considering the heavy topics this movie covers (transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, racism, abuse, assault), it's surprising that the first thing I think of when I was done was "joyous". But it is joyous, not in a naive, nothing bad can happen way, but in a fiercely defiant, vibrant way. Yes, there are bad things in the world and bad people, and you know what we do? We pick ourselves up and we create beauty and love to crowd it all out.

The movie is a product of its time (1995) for sure (outdated terminology, the blurred lines between drag and trans people), but it's also compassionate down to its bones. It's driven by Vida, who is so deeply caring about everyone around her it sometimes crosses into meddling, but it's supported by Noxie, her cynical best friend with a heart of gold beneath, and Chi-Chi, who's still learning the ropes but eventually finds her feet. The townsfolk are rural, old, odd....and never condemned or made fun of for it, and even the group of local roughs get a chance to clean up their act (after some suitably karmic justice). The only people who are unsympathetic start to finish are Carol's abusive husband and the villainous sheriff, because they should be. The fact that the film doesn't hide from the homophobia and transphobia of the world makes their determination to survive and thrive anyway all the sweeter.

It's not a film for everyone, you should probably check out the trigger warnings, but in terms of queer cinema I'd say it's more than earned its spot.

#to wong foo thanks for everything julie newmar #part of it is that they're in drag all the time for the plot to happen but i do think vida is trans #in part because patrick swayze confirmed that the character only 'felt right' when he played her as a woman and not a gay man #in part because she considers vida her true name and shows dysphoria whenever someone refers to her as a man

There's news about Malte. Apparently when he went in to calm down the situation the perpetrator recognized him as trans and threw transphobic insults towards him before punching. He's now in custody.

I fucking knew this was a transphobic attack. I'm so fucking angry

From the article linked in the German tweet (translated by Google translate, I'm gonna get my friend to check it later):

Malte C., also a CSD participant, got involved according to FOCUS online information. "Where's the problem?" The transman tried in vain to calm the situation down. According to the investigation, Nuradi A. and his companion are said to have freaked out further and insulted the twenty-something. According to the tenor, he wasn't a man at all because he was transsexual. Without further hesitation, the migrant from the Russian Federation struck Malte C. and immediately sent a second, targeted punch. The victim fell unconscious on the back of his head on the asphalt. The thug and his buddy then fled.

So we were fucking right. He was murdered for being a trans man. Malte was recognized as a trans man and he was killed for it. Never let this be forgotten; Malte C. was murdered for being a trans man defending other queer people.

#m.#ask box #its so. aggravating how people are trying to shame trans men #for connecting this to transandrophobia #like a trans man was murdered and we now know the attacker knew he was a trans man #and told him he wasnt a real man and then killed him #not to drag other groups into this but this was a trans woman would yall hesitate to call it transmisogyny?#especially since terfs are misgendering him after his death #specifically to use his death to push their narrative. thats transandrophobia #hate crime tw #murder tw #examples of transandrophobia

The intense masculine urge to dress like David Bowie in the movie Labyrinth and learn close up magic just to fuck with people

(the close up magic to fuck with people, not the outfits, that's just for my gender euphoria)

i love the sheer variety i see when i meet trans men, trans boys, transmasc butches, ftms and the transmasculine community. no two transmasculine people you meet are the same. you'll meet tough boys, soft men, guys who love makeup, people who dress like they're from a specific period in the past, proud butches, dudes who dress like freaks, dapper gentlemen, lesboys and lesbian men, goofy boydykes, silly bros and your best friend. the transmasculine community is rich in diversity and every person you meet has a lot to teach you about what masculinity and manhood mean

so fucking tired of westerners calling otokonoko trans women. ngl it's kinda racist, and it proves that you think men can't wear dresses or makeup and still be men. otokonoko are gender-nonconforming men specific to japanese culture. google is free ffs

#''the transphobes won lol'' HE'S A MAN #OTOKONOKO ARE MEN #HE SAYS MULTIPLE TIMES THAT HE IS A BOY #literally the whole point of ototsuku was that he started crossdressing for the guy he likes and then realized that he liked crossdressing #BECAUSE HE LIKED BEING AN OTOKONOKO NOT A GIRL #rum.txt #went in the tag and the first post was actually tagged 'transmisogyny' Y'ALL #tbh it's kinda transphobic that you think a character who constantly refers to himself as a boy is actually a trans woman?#do you think all drag queens are trans???#don't even get me started on rin from catherine: full body
