Thought

Brother = Male

Sister = Female

Enbyer (en-bee-er) = Non-Binary?

Here’s your yearly reminder that the man who made Rocky Horror is a huge transmisogynist and doesn’t respect trans women in the slightest.

…I mean I thought that was pretty freakin obvious but

I’m sorry but this is quite possibly the dumbest thing I’ve ever read with my two own trans eyeballs, YES there are parts in the movie that could be a little cut edge in today’s times because it’s 40 years old but HOW are you going to say it’s based on a “transgender” character written in a transphobic way??? The leading role is a TRANSVESTITE not a transgender and he is portrayed as such. A transvestite is a man who, get this, identifies as a man!! But derives pleasure!! From dressing! In women’s clothes!!! I don’t give a fuck who you are, today if you saw a man in woman’s clothes! You wouldn’t just say he’s a woman! Because clothes don’t identify gender! The person whose gender it is identifies it!! Not only was this movie written by a trans person, but it was one of the earlier movies that had main characters completely disregarding gender roles! I’m sorry! But I’m getting! A little sick! Of people being so quick to call something this or that when they know almost nothing about the subject. Just to recap: RHPS is in no way a portrayal of a trans woman, it IS the portrayal of a TRANSVESTITE man!!

Oh it's very obvious that Rocky Horror Picture Show was transphobic as fuck, but damn do I still love it. I saw some other replies saying liking the movie makes you transphobic even if you are LGBT+, so I guess my trans ass is transphobic, who knew 🤷‍♂️

[being-purple-comics]

I just saw this image of a gender reveal cake and honestly most of these make me cringe, but this one had me dying in laughter cause all I could think was

"I choose both"

PLEASE DO NOT THROW THE YA GENRE UNDER THE BUS it is filled with diversity that goes far beyond whatever makes it to the movies! Please give it a chance!

[socially-incapacitated-deactiva]

YA isn’t even a genre. It’s the target age group.

YA is as diverse as any type of books that’s aimed at any other age group.

Just because one type of genre is popular doesn’t mean it’s the only genre in YA

Personally one of my favorite LGBT+ YA novels is called Boy Meets Boy -- it's hella good if anyone wants to check it out.

[being-purple-comics]

Hey sorry I haven't updated the comic in a long ass time, but I was feeling hella confident walking around my house at 1am in just my binder and jeans and felt like saying this--

Most of the time when you look up transgender people, they are all thin/muscular and have already fully/mostly transitioned. They usually have a couple before and after pictures, and often times look gorgeous both times.

But you see, I haven't started T yet. I still have my boobs. I have big hips and a somewhat feminine figure.

But I have my hair cut short, a chest binder, and a pair of boxers under my jeans. That's all I needed to feel confident in my body, even if only for a few minutes.

I'm not saying the same could be done for you or anyone else. All I'm saying is, you don't need to be fully transitioned in order to feel confident. You're beautiful just as you are now, and you will be even more beautiful when you transition (if you choose to do so).

Would I prefer to already be in the body I want? Absolutely. But that doesn't mean I can't still feel confident and masculine right now.

Hey, you.

You, the person still questioning your gender.

You don’t have to figure that out before asking me to refer to you with certain pronouns.

You don’t have to have a distinct label to justify your pronouns.

Want me to use they/them pronouns? Cool, I got you. You don’t have to tell me your gender if you don’t want to.

Want me to change it to she/her? Sure, no problem.

Want me to go back to they/them? Okay, that’s fine. You’re not a bother or anything for wanting to go back to those.

Just let me know what you’re comfortable with at the time. I won’t complain or question you.

What matters is what makes you comfortable.

[being-purple-comics]

Okay random but @lames-not-jily-is-my-otp reblogged this and I noticed they listed their romantic orientation as "quoiromantic" and I was like "Hmm?? What's this?"

I googled it and, after years of bouncing between demi and ace, I finally figured out a label that fits my sexual orientation --- quoisexual. Thanks for indirectly helping me figure this out, my fellow ace-spec!

[being-purple-comics]

I just remembered

Back in middle school and early high school, I used to jokenly tell people "I'm the manliest person you'll ever find without a dick!"

Look all I’m saying is that somebody really fucked this up for me

Hey, I was wondering if it’s transphobic to call myself a lesbian that likes girls if my boyfriend is transgender (FTM) he’s the only guy I’ve ever liked and I consider myself a lesbian, but I don’t know if that’s disrespectful because he’s a guy now?

Hi.

You may be homoflexible or lesbian with an exception. That’s what I think when I read it, but I’m not sure, as you seem to be in a odd position.

I think saying something like “I only like girls” while you date him may press some of his buttons, but that’s something you two should discuss and work out.

[being-purple-comics]

Hey so as a FTM dating a lesbian myself - I, personally, am completely okay with her calling herself a lesbian! At first I made me nervous cause I thought maybe she didn't see me as a man, but she proved me wrong! She's told me that I'm the first man that she ever felt anything for and that thinks of herself as homoflexible, but still mostly calls herself a lesbian.

I think as long as you two communicate with each other and put your honest feelings on the table, everything will work out!

I find it a bit funny seeing this post when I just making this drawing too haha

RIP, all I see is

So since my tablet broke, I’ve been trying to figure out for a while now how I will continue this comic. I’ve been a traditional artist for far longer than a digital artist, so the answer seemed simple, except I didn’t know how to mimic the same style tradationally with the supplies I had.

I ultimately decided I’ll just sketch out the pages for now until I save up enough money for better art supplies.

(Feel free to ask me if you have trouble reading anything; my hand writing sucks and I’m dyslexic.)

REBLOG IF IT’S OKAY FOR YOUR FOLLOWERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH THEIR GENDER IDENTITY/SEXUALITY TO MESSAGE YOU FOR ADVICE, SUPPORT OR HELP

please, it’s pride month.

Woah wait, I have a shit anime blog that occasionally goes semi-viral so I thought my 99+ notifications I was ignoring were from that blog, but apparently a bunch of y'all just recently started following me

What’s up, I’m trans trash and my tablet is broken. If y'all really are interested in my comics, I can maybe continue it in traditional art.

[being-purple-comics]

Oh shit, last I checked I had like 30 followers on this blog and now I got like 220, what up
