Tumblr and other sites would rather go to bat for white men as the center of feminism than seriously examine their own prejudices around trans women and women of color.

I think what hurts me most about Kyoshi isn’t that she made brutal decisions. It’s that she knew, from the very beginning, what those decisions would cost her.

This quote kills me:

“The people would never revere her like they did Yangchen or smile at her like they did Kuruk.”

She doesn’t argue with it. She doesn’t promise herself she’ll change their minds. She just thinks:

“Then let it be so.”

That is devastating.

Kyoshi accepts that history will probably remember her as a monster before she’s even had the chance to become a hero. And the cruel part is… history does.

Centuries later, everyone remembers the Avatar who killed Chin. The Avatar who ruled through fear. The Avatar who was ruthless and uncompromising.

Almost nobody remembers the scared girl who just wanted people to be safe. Nobody remembers the girl who worried constantly about doing the wrong thing. Who loved deeply. Who cried. Who questioned herself. Who sacrifices being with the one she loved in the afterlife. And everything she does is because she believed protecting people was her duty and worth much more then protecting her own reputation.

The world got to live in peace because Kyoshi was willing to become someone it could fear.

And then it only remembered the fear. And ugh…that is the tragedy of Kyoshi.

It makes sense by the end she lost her humanity.

Small update:

I couldn’t make it to my uncles funeral due to not having the $ to travel there. It was another low blow. I didn’t talk to him a lot in my adulthood, but he was my favourite uncle in my childhood. To not be able to say goodbye properly leaves this weird feeling in my chest. Like there’s some kind of tingly object just sitting in it. While I’m processing my grief, I still have to work on my mental health, the rut I’ve been in for a while. The little to no energy, pretending everything is fine when it’s not. Distraction maxing so I didn’t have to face the uncomfortably of my depression and anxiety taking over my life. I’ve been able to cut down on the distraction maxing, I think I’ll get to a point where I can actually set things down and focus on what needs to be dealt with. Small increments work best for me, I find. It’s not so hard when I don’t restrict myself 24/7, a little time on my phone won’t hinder the progress I’m making with facing my problems. My therapist and I recently talked about setting firm boundaries with people (specifically around my sisters life that causes me immense panic attacks when I’m told about it) because the way I people please is by making my boundaries sound optional, not a real boundary. I’m thinking within my next two sessions I’m going to need to address the dysphoria problems with them, too. One day at a time. Unpacking and actually talking about my issues do not come easy to me, but I’m trying to learn. I love all you’s who reached out with kindness 🤍 It was much needed.

why do people get soooo mad at lesbians for being les4les

[mousidy]

I think my one take that might be unpopular with other transfeminists is I'm not that fond of the term "theyfab"

I've heard lots of very good arguments for why we should have it, and I get that its purpose is to address when people weaponize their agabs against us, so I don't necessarily begrudge those who use it, but I think the term itself doesn't do a great job communicating its purpose. I wouldn't feel right calling even the worst agab weaponizer a "theyfab" because my issue is with their privilege and their weaponization of it, not with their agab itself, or their pronouns

[girlfailure-poetics]

they only know how to steal from trans women lmao

[girlfailure-poetics]

i think the thing that really stuck with me about this is the way that it frames trans women as cops for having specific words with specific definitions that have arisen out of material analysis rather than what something "feels like." just pure vibes-based reactionary nonsense from the tmras, as per usual. neologisms are a tool of last resort for serious political theorists!

[little--leaves]

"my girl", "my pretty girl", "my angel", "my love". Oh I'm so normal about those, so normal. Look how normal I'm being.
