love when people become so online in spaces like this where marginalized people are actually the ones dominating the conversations, that they forget what its like in the real world and start making positivity posts for things that are literally 100% unchallenged and normalized irl

I’d like to add my great great aunt Flora!

Y'all wanna know why we don’t see or hear about trans people from that era?

That’s because that picture was taken at what is known in its native language as Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, it is the place where the first trans healthcare was developed, where the term transsexual was coined.

Do you want to know what happened to the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft?

It was the victim of the very first Nazi book burning. Their teachings were outlawed and their books destroyed. Their leaders - such as Magnus Hirschfeld - were criminalized and exiled, if not outright murdered.

The fascists exterminated not just a generation of trans people, but they erased our history from the books almost entirely. It took us almost a century to get back to where we are now.

We’ve always been here, but our future is not guaranteed. We have to fight for our survival, because it’s happening again.

idk who needs to hear this but it's OK to like problematical media. you don't need to find only the purest most politically correct best stuff because that does not exist. it is infinitely better to enjoy something and know and understand why it's problematic than to just blindly follow what the most morally arrogant people are saying about it

do your own research. stay safe

Want to engage in media created by shit people without causing a massive fucken stain on your moral integrity?

I can handle a story where all of the people ain’t shit and are terrible people. But the second the author makes it clear that they see goodness or optimism is naive, pathetic and weakness. I’m out. Get the fuck out of my face with that nihilism propaganda.

You know, it really pisses me off when people tell me that I can't like a song/game/story anymore because the artist/dev/author is problematic.

Yes, I understand the issue and it's severely impacted my relationship with the media, but at the end of the day, I still feel connected to it, be it through nostalgia or something else. I can't sever those ties, they're just with me forever.

"Just a find a better artist/game/story"

I DID! GUESS WHAT? THOSE TIES ARE STILL THERE! THEY'RE NOT GOING AWAY!

"But the song/game/story is still problematic"

And what if I relate to that? What if I relate to those problematic themes? What if I use those problematic themes to cope with issues I experience in the real world?
