something worth noting about me: whenever im on a rollercoaster i start to laugh hysterically. and i dont mean it in a cutesy, cartoon evil cackle or something - a friend was visibly upset after riding together next to me. it is completely involuntary and ive yet to curb the habit. the workers always looked at me funny too.

#honestly i would much rather just scream and get it over with.#its somehow much more embarrassing to say you ruined your voice by laughing so hard #when really #it wasnt even all that funny

I don't know but it bother me when some white cis LGBTQIA+ person said that straight couples are boring and downplayed it, because yeah, there is a lot WHITE straight couples on the media.

But we are NOW start to see women of color having love interest, being the love interest, having healthy romantic stories, being desired and loved and I have to read a white LGBTQIA person saying on the comments "another straight couple 🙄"

#people of color #media #this is just a vent #we are suppost to be in the same side #you know???#never have i ever #roswell new mexico #fire country #the resident #this was a lot of Roswell fandom #and I hated it #like malex shipper trying to downplayed Echo ship #when really #Liz is one of the few latinas as a main character on television #could can you not see that BOTH were important?

so funny how the uk media are pretty much blaming nhs nurses for striking.

laura kuenssberg trying to turn the tide in saying that "operations could be cancelled bc of strikes, putting patients at risk".

when really, whether they're on strike or not, patients are *always* at risk bc this pitiful tory govnt want all of us to go private and spend ridiculous amounts of money on operations just like the US do, and would rather not pump money into the nhs to help everyone

#and why do i feel like #ppl will STILL vote tory in the next election #when REALLY #theyre already SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ELECTION #this govnt really has ruined us #how many more fucking years????#they've put us on our needs #and the media dont want to blame the govnt #WHYYYYY ffs #uk politics #some typos in this i think but idc im so tired #put us on our *knees #and tbf labour arent doing much either

Tumblr bringing me back to my roots and making me ship Tamsand in 2023

#acotar #tamsand #but what if #Tamlin and Rhysand were never REALLY enemies #they just went through a messy breakup #I think Rhys was the first one to say “I love you #and I think Tamlin had a hard time admitting his feelings #even though he loved him back #so Rhys was all heartbroken obviously #and vowed to fuck this man over every chance he got #which is why he still can’t leave him alone centuries and centuries later #Feyre is just an innocent bystander #but she kinda brought all these messy feelings back to the surface #it really seems like Rhys just loves rubbing it in Tamlin’s face that he finally found someone to love him after all this time #and we’re watching thinking how pathetic it is that Tamlin still hasn’t moved on from Feyre #when really #he still hasn’t moved on from Rhys

Wait until Lightyear or Strange World win an Academy Award because ‘it’s PIXAR/DISNEY’ and not Pinocchio. Or even worse, the DISNEY Pinocchio wins.

#guillermo del toro's pinocchio #Pinocchio #I hope it wins #But it's hilarious to see how may reviewers are like maulding #over strange world having a gay character #and being all 'my child doesn't need to see that #and acting like PDA is issue #when really #you're just a fucking homophobe

I like the concept of Sammy, Allison, Susie, Tom, Norman, everyone being free of the ink. The thing they had been working so hard for. Only to walk into the sunlight once more with the bodies they had all the way back in the 1940 s, free of the ink after so long…this is what they had been dreaming of! Only to realize…

They hadn’t changed at all.

Ohhhh i cant wait for you to watch s3 of YOU lmaooo

I'm sure it will break my poor bisexual brain

#it really does seem like every season they're like #okay which of liz's buttons can we press next?#penn badgley with a baby? check.#victoria pedretti evolving into a milf? check.#asks #anon #okay so here's the thing #I am of two minds about this show #one mind is this: it is a very sophisticated work of comedy #in that you are watching through the pov of a character who thinks he is the star of the romantic comedy of his own life #when really #he's the villain in a slasher flick #and the show takes care to show that people (as a whole)#do not care so much for the truth but who is telling it to them #bc the people who see joe for who he is and try to speak it - people find reasons to disbelieve them #peach: closeted queer woman with severe mental health issues #candace: battered ex-girlfriend who is recovering from trauma #delilah: SA survivor and Latina and serving as primary guardian of her younger sister Ellie who: is also Latina and a child #and Forty: an SA survivor and recovering addict who's constantly relapsing and has a history of dangerous and erratic behavior #it is so so so so smart. and I can recognize that #but then the other part of me is like a big mouth hormone monster #just maya rudolph's voice lusting after this beautiful idiotic violent man #and his hot gf who turn out to be equally violent and stupid and dangerous #so. what's a girl to do?#and s4 APPARENTLY this fucker is in Paris #and is a PROFESSOR with LONG HAIR and a BEARD #like I feel targeted. personally.

my mom loves to lie and like she always swears she was NEVER homophobic or anything to me as a child “i even have a gay work friend” but a really funny memory resurfaced recently where i asked if i could use birthday money i had to buy a rainbow flag when i was like ??? 7?? because i LOVED rainbows. and she said no that means something Evil and god will hate you . so what did i do. but ask my grandmom for a rainbow sweater for christmas and proceed to only wear that sweater for three years when it got cold because i didnt like the idea that god hated colors and i wanted to challenge him

#id also stare really hard at the sky when i wore it because i wanted to see if he would #acrually strike me with lightning because i thought it would be a cool way to fie #die*** <- and no i didnt realize rainbow = gay for another SIX YEARS #that was AFTER years of g #‘google images girls kissing’#scratchpost #txt

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?

I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?

In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".

Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.

This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.

Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.

The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.

This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]

As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.

But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?

Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.

#transgender #trans history #transsexual #transphobia #Magnus Hirschfeld #holocaust #holocaust denial #book burning #j.k. rowling #jk rowling #just in case you missed what i mean by all this: go fuck yourself anon :)#trans people have always existed #and we will always exist #if you really wanna pick a fight with me over well-documented history then you better bring in some sources to back your shit #queer history #queer #lgbt+#lgbta+#lgbt #lgbt history #edit: i finally got around to those damn image IDs. i am so very sorry for totally forgetting that's my bimbo moment of the month #also real quick i thought about adding an image of the actual building but the only one i can find has a Nazi parade in front of it #it was taken the day of the book burning raid and honestly if i were to include it then i'd add it to the first few paragraphs #and i think the story's better told when you uphold the hope Magnus Hirschfeld and all the researchers he worked with had #also keeps being brought up: yes Hirschfeld was a eugenicist. it was a popular belief set that was only discredited after WW2 #Hirschfeld died in 1935. he literally didn't live long enough to see science turn against those beliefs and practices #considering how he changed his mind on transitions i like to think he would've changed his mind on eugenics too if he'd lived
