if you told fluttershy you were therian youd have to explain it to her and she'd say, "Oh, that's nice." and seem like she didn't get it at first but next time you're at her house she'd set out a bowl of theriotype appropriate food that your body is still capable of digesting and treat you gently like the animal you are and as you eventually go to leave and express your gratitude she would say something like "Of course, this is a safe place for animals of all shapes and sizes." and then maybe a week later the two of you smoke weed and fu

Gooseworx is stronger than me because if my introspective transgender theme narrative about identity and accepting your circumstances was infiltrated by media iliterate 12 year olds who treated my work like it was fnaf and said my self insert of me at my worst was literally the worst person who deserved nothing but the worst and could not recover ever i would actually fucking explode. I would kill people. How does she do it.

i kinda dont care anymore but just to make my perspective more clear as it seems to be a common misunderstanding, i dont think the finale was amazing. But i do think it was incredibly personal. I dont really see why i need to be of the opinion that this was a great finale for me to say people are not getting it. Analysing flawed media is actually really fun, especially queer ones. I do see that part of why it was misunderstood may be due to the flaws in its writing, but i think that only makes it more important to try to understand. I saw so many people feeling like shit because they couldnt predict jax was trans, and all i have to say is that you shouldnt feel like youre stupid for that. But sometimes things like this happen in real life, often infact. People who are flawed and horrible are often deeper inside and you dont expect it unless you really pay attention. Thats why i think its so human. You dont have to forfeit your security to harmful people, but robbing them of their complexity is making your life so much more vunerable.

Yeah, jax is misogynistic, shes an abuser, shes a manipulator, shes a bad person. Shes also homeless and trans and mentally ill. Factors that define our struggles and reactions do not cancel out our actions and behaviours. I understand its scary to think that way, many people who opress minorities only view the most "flawed" members. Its easier to detangle them from their own identities to vie for your own sanctity. But you are only putting disadvantaged people into a pit of malice purely because you arent willing to humanise the struggles that lead them there.

Creating an opposition is easier than understanding the human mistakes of harmful others. Its how our political climate has gotten so destructive, we boil people down to their general aspects. My post was "vagueposted" about i suppose, and i notice they attributed a lot of things i said to a lack of intelligence. It seemed to be spurred on by a self defense mechanism for the perceived attack i made on them not liking the finale. We like to boil down arguments or people to the emotions they made us feel to protect ourselves from harm. Its natural, but it isnt healthy, at least in our complex society. Its how stereotypes and hatred are born, we view someone at their worst and define their worst as their entire being.

Im not angry at the children who misunderstood, im angry at the adults who perpetuate a childish understanding of the complex narrative attempted.

i think we have done ourselves and our communities and our communication skills a massive disservice by flattening so many experiences down to "trauma" or "harm" and equating "feeling uncomfortable" with "being unsafe."

i recognize that this didn't happen in a vacuum, and a lot of us are responding to a culture that doesn't take our pain or discomfort seriously and has denied or downplayed real trauma for generations.

however, i strongly recommend trying out some of these framings and phrases in order to develop some healthier, more resilient understandings of ourselves and our relationships:

I would prefer not to

I had a bad experience

I don't like that

I would need more support to be able to do that

I'm not in the mood

That bothers me

I worry about [specific negative outcome]

I'm not up for that today

I'd rather do/talk about something else

I'm not the right audience for that

I need more information first

That doesn't seem worth the time/energy

not every personal preference or unpleasant emotion must be linked to a psychiatric diagnosis or a trauma trigger. constantly interpreting your experiences through this pathologized lens is not good for anyone.

if you are surrounded by people who do not take your "i'd rather not" seriously unless you can cite DSM chapter and verse, you have shitty friends and need to hang out with different people.

also, no matter who you are or how traumatized you are, you do not need to avoid every discomfort. it is true that for someone with severe trauma, a ptsd flashback can derail their whole day and cause genuine physical and psychological suffering. however. this is different than "someone mentioned a tv show that my shitty ex liked" or "someone at an event made me feel socially awkward." we all go through negative experiences, and convincing yourself that you are so damaged that the only safe way to live is by demanding protection from anything that could make you feel bad is extremely unhealthy.

you need to be able to function as a human being even when the world includes things that are unpleasant or even painful. if you train your brain to experience everything you don't like as a "trauma trigger," you will create a reality for yourself where you are constantly under threat and develop an identity as someone who cannot manage any situation not completely under your control. you are capable of feeling sad, startled, annoyed, offended, disgusted, or nervous. i promise.

and if you truly are dealing with trauma symptoms on a level that genuinely disrupt your daily functioning and ability to maintain healthy relationships, that is a signal that you need to start working on your own healing. your goal should be to find ways to reduce the impact these symptoms have, not to just give more language and weight to them so they can dictate more and more of who you are and how you move through the world.

Bucky as the Winter Soldier being trained to ignore pain to the point that it becomes a Problem. he throws himself through glass doors and windows, tears through thorns and razor wire, hurls his body down onto vehicles and from windows and down steep slopes leaving himself bruised and with cracked ribs, forces broken bones to carry his weight. He tanks bullets and heavy blows and keeps going, relentless. He keeps getting burns from recklessly setting off explosions and standing too close to burning debris

this is basically canon, in CA:TWS he flung his body around like he didn't care the damage he was going to do to it.

He knows his body can take basically anything and they'll fix him up, and he acts accordingly. Taking out his knife and digging out bullets and shrapnel when they hamper his movement, stuffing wounds with whatever filthy material he has on hand, whether that's cloth or just wads of grass and mud. Stitching himself back up, slicing wounds back open to drain the pus if they get infected and then back to the mission.

on one mission a soldier stabs him in the gut with a bayonet and he drives the barrel of the rifle through his body to grab the soldier by the throat and crush his neck. after that the Soviet officers call him "the wild boar"
