Trans activist Jamison Green's passport photos before and after HRT. Left he's age 32 (1980) Right age 41 (1989) after being on testosterone for one year (x)

(read his autobiography here for free)

[homoidiotic]

updated the link to his autobiography because it was broken! here's some more pictures of him (first is mid 90s, second 2013 and last 2024)

there's an interview with him from 2017 along with some information about his life and activism. and he was interviewed on a podcast here. he's not super well known but has been a really important trans activist for decades

you may have noticed that my blog is disorganized and thematically incoherent and my tag game is weaker by the day. this is commentary on the chaos of modern existence

its still so fascinating to me how neutral and relaxed ryou looks when he talks to riku. you peel back the mask of sadism and playfulness and anger and resentment and all you're left with is a face that could've been in the background or in a cutaway idol fan reaction shot. just another person with a distinct design to differentiate from other named and unnamed characters.

which he can't be! cause it will kill him to be less than. but it's a tricky case with riku. he knows they both need the recognition. riku is an idol, which makes riku bad, but riku is also just like him, and riku is only doing it because of his bad brother, which makes riku good. and recognition from a good idol...

thats why he pulls his mask back for riku and shows him. another mask. he can be safe, he can be normal and compassionate. he can sympathise, hold riku's hands in a gesture of empathy. he can have a connection with riku.

provided nobody else shows up. provided nobody else sees the ryou that he invented just for riku. a kind, brotherly ryou.

and momo sees it. momo cuts the connection. ryou's mask falls back on, to be noticed by riku, who already had heard of the bad, scary ryou, but was almost willing to accept the "real" him. almost. just like an idol, he doesn't step in or do anything to make momo see.

to make momo see that he tries. he reaches for the grapes to have his hands slapped away or the vine grow out of reach no matter how far he climbs. he makes promises and waits five years for the grapes to fall, to have them still hanging, telling him that he should've done more, been more.

and he can. he will make these grapes fall. as if the wind just took them and smashed against the ground into a barely recognizable mush.

after all, now he has his own grape vines to care for. to make sure they grow exactly how he wants them to.

Iron Lung and Project Hail Mary as "men who persevere against impossible odds and find courage in the depths of despair"

Versus Obsession and Backrooms "men will willingly stay in a literal horror movie situation over confronting their mistakes and taking responsibility for their actions"

The idea that “natural breasts” even in children are something to be protected at all costs is extremely weird and incredibly sexist.

For cis folks that would mean discouraging breast enlargement by calling someone a whore or saying their boobs will be “ruined” because they are “fake”. This mentality exists with breast reduction for women by saying they will not be as sexually desirable and that having big breasts is a gift.

For trans and nonbinary folks, we see crap from lawmakers fearmongering, spewing shit like how children are “mutilating healthy breast tissue” and from other people “top surgery scars are ugly” and “but those could feed a baby one day!”

Even from other trans folks, simple comments like “why would you ever want to get rid of those?” Can be the dam that makes someone scared or guilty of seeking breast augmentation and just not do so.

It is not up to you what a person does to their breasts. All breasts are beautiful, and the person with them gets to decide their value, not you.

i go to a random blog, search up a word and then have a whole new vast block list waiting for me

[handweavers]

people like the idea that there is an identity they can claim that will absolve them of the responsibility to examine their beliefs and actions and adjust them accordingly to better align with their values and desired outcomes but there isn't, we all have to practice humility and do the work regardless

i love you female characters who make selfish choices they know will be bad for everyone. i love you female characters who think they're making the right choice but make things worse. i love you female characters who are making the right choice but noone else understands it.
