Happy Pride Month!
Astolfo from the Fate series is a trans and sapphic icon and hates terfs!

On Astolfo
I’ve written up a pretty hefty piece that’s my (hopefully) penultimate discussion on Astolfo; on transphobia in the fandom and source, gender identity, and other interpretations. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SQRn3PbLRQBBOVjH_qyX69NjkFmKf8S8CwAqsJZxC5Q/edit?usp=sharing Hopefully, a useful tool! Remember, kids: Letting one-sided discourse rule your life isn’t cool or healthy.
Hey look, the Astolfo discourse is making the rounds again. Oh no.
Here’s the essay to drop if you need it, just keep in mind that anybody who claims that transphobic slur isn’t a slur isn’t viewing the issue with good faith or any measure of empathy, and they aren’t worth your time to engage further. 💖
Every year at Pride, this blog blows up a little again. It may not be active anymore, but I still want to take the chance to celebrate it.
This year especially, Pride means a lot. Here’s to doing our best to stay healthy and take care of each other; in solidarity with all members of our community, especially BIPOC folk who need it more than ever. To those who can, keep fighting the good fight, and to everyone, here’s wishing you safety and the means to help those fighting.
Happy Pride Month!

Also, while I haven’t been able to do much here, I’ve taken up on Twitter! https://twitter.com/PinkPaladinSays for at least some vaguely consistent content stream.

Chevaliére d’Eon: Happy International Women’s Day!
We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for a (slightly belated) tribute to Chevaliére d’Eon de Beaumont! (With extra stress on the feminine form of the title, by which she was acknowledged in life.) A historic 18th century trans icon, who: -Served as an elite spy and skilled intellectual, philosopher, and economist renowned in her time -Won the honors of the Cross of St.Louis, which she retained and displayed even after her transition -Amassed one of the largest collections of contemporary feminist works in her time -Orchestrated the rumor that she was actually a woman who had been living as a man and demanded and won official recognition of her gender in her settlement with the French Crown -Challenged, dueled, and thrived against those that insulted and abused her and other women -Fought for the legal right for herself and other women to wear clothes of their preference, attain political office, and serve openly in military -Was a master swordswoman who triumphed in tournaments through the age of 70 -In her twilight years alone wrote volumes of feminist philosophy and theology
Happy International Women’s Day, Chevaliére d’Eon!!
FGO NA Survery!
As a reminder, FGO NA will likely have an official Survey event soon! Since you’ll already be filling it out for tickets, remember to use the fill in comment sections. It’s a rare chance to actually provide feedback to the localization team- and a perfect chance to tell them to stop messing up Astolfo’s pronouns and keep them consistent in things like the Valentine’s event! Somehow, they messed it up in both their scene and one of the CE details. So, the best thing we can do is make sure the staff are reminded that’s something people care about. After all, it’s just shoddy when their profile correctly uses neutral pronouns, but other sources and dialogue drop the ball.
Astolfo from the Fate series is a trans and sapphic icon and hates terfs!

Bradamante, what the heck are you wearing?! What’d the Throne do to you?
Astolfo Crosses Desert, from Canto XXXIII (colorized). (circa 1564). [Engraving].

Hey, not-so-casual reminder that
tr*p is a slur. To be precise, explicitly considered a derogatory term by GLAAD.
And that trans people have to face tangible consequences for casual transphobia and alienation, both from the personal harm endured trying to interact with media and the hate bred by it.
Please recognize and understand that even if you believe Astolfo or other characters with ambiguous identities are not trans and respect them as gender non-conforming, that slur is still extremely toxic, reductive, and insulting to both the identity of those characters as well as real gnc and queer individuals.
