I write fanfiction, all lesbian, all furry, mostly mature/smut but I'm branching out. If you want, check it out. https://archiveofourown.org/users/Fyrefox666

[drhegemony]

My latest fic, which is a sexting fic between aged up Octavia and Loona from Helluva Boss in an AU where Stolas and Blitz never meet up again after that one day as children is out, so Loona and Octavia never met each other as the daughters of their fathers, only themselves.

It's got smut, it's got a story within a story and it's got masturbation. As well as chat logs (also auto-fellatio, fingering and a cloaca for all you bird lovers).

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

It's also almost 9000 words long for some reason (the story within the story takes up nearly 3K worth of space)

Check it out.

I will never be able to fully express how being a lesbian is not considered cool and sexy to average people, who aren't terminally online. It considered especially disgusting to people when you're a woman who doesn't look like a super model or actress. People are shocked and appalled at the thought you want to eat the pussy of an ordinary girl whose like a waitress or something. People are grossed out that two women who might be fat, masc with stretch marks/scars or without makeup etc find each other completely attractive and have completely fulfilling sex for themselves. Lesbianism that is devoid of the male gaze repulses people. It's why lesbians are rarely fully represented in media. It's not sexy anymore if it's not two straight thin decorated actresses directed by a man. They so mad when we want each other and don't care to meet their beauty standards or need their approval.

I feel like it's not said too often but if you're a tgirl who isn't a particularly openly sexual person it is ridiculously hard to make friends on here. And I've seen way too many girls who feel pressured to be sexual just because if they aren't, they feel like an outcast or get zero attention from their friends.

People mutually having fun together is lovely! Exploring sexuality is lovely! But please. Do not socially punish us for wanting to interact beyond trading boob pics

[trans-girl-nausicaa]

unfortunately this has been a problem i’ve seen firsthand continuously since i first came out.

in 2015.

[drhegemony]

Honestly this problem happens to me so often (also double combo of furry and trans) both here and on bluesky, not the making friends part, but like, just how often it's obvious that there's supposed to be this like level of horniness that you're supposed to conform too or you're supposed to be at and...

And I just can't. It's just not within me. I'm no longer in my 20's. And even when I was I wasn't that horny.

I'm coupled and monogamous and not that horny.

I'm not really sexual, even when reading or looking at sexual stuff. Like sure some stuff does do stuff to me but the predictability on that is wildly fucked.

But yeah, it feels like I'm often at the all (self-identified) pervert and freak place (which good for them, I'm happy for them), but I just ain't that. However I know from not being in the all (self-identified) pervert and freak place that things rapidly begin to suck (in different ways).

So I'm just kinda stuck feeling out of place.

Sometimes makes me feel like someone is eventually going to accuse me of christofacism or something.

[strawberry-crocodile]

its really not just an attraction thing that fandom is so focused on men because that is not at all how straight men treat female characters

[strawberry-crocodile]

bad art by and for straight men: the guy is the main focus who has a lot of thoughts and feelings and a character arc and the women are mostly defined by being moms, ideal girlfriends, or nags

bad art by and for fandom: the guys are the main focus who have a lot of thoughts and feelings and character arcs and the women are mostly defined by being moms or lesbian bffs and nags

really smart fandom person: we act like this because we're attracted to men

[drhegemony]

I mean I feel we are missing one category here.

Bad art by and for Fandom men: Hey do you want to see the female characters as sex dolls for the male characters? You just wanna see female characters as things for the male characters to stick their dicks in, right? Strong and interesting women are just the sexual play things of men, correct? Sapphic sexual encounters are just for done for the voyeuristic male audience, right? Futas - I mean trannies, should always have massive cocks and tits, and can be fucked by anyone, they're basically sex slaves.

Really smart Fandom person: if you disagree with this perspective you are a prude, a soulless, sexless kill joy, a fascist banshee. Porn is supposed to never have any critical eye placed on it.

[hard-times-paramore]

Okay, real talk now. People love to tag male characters in posts about women, but this post is gonna take this seriously. Is there actually a canonically male character you believe is a trans woman? Or at least has made into a trans woman for a fanart or a fanfic? Excluding the ones canonically implied.

Sound off in the tags! Link to the fanart or fic if available. Do it. Give me the girls. Make more women.

[drhegemony]

So this is one I've thought ever since I finished the manga series, it's not as supported in the anime adaptation but I think it can still be read there as well.

But anyway, I believe with my whole chest that Legoshi from Beastars is a trans woman.

And I don't think it would take that much to basically allow her to crack her egg, literally I think if she saw a trans woman wolf walking down the street on her usual day to day she would probably start on the road to cracking her egg and unfortunately delaying estrogen thanks to her desire to have kids with Haru.

Like it's pretty read, especially in the Manga where he is explicitly described as being very feminine when trying to impress people (like Haru's family), he's got a habit of trying to understand women's perspective (he cross-dresses twice for this for some reason), he's cross-dressed 3 different times despite not needing too, before meeting Haru it could be said that he is basically trying to be ungendered and asexual, also his struggle with his body and desires are very easy to read as trans coded.

He affirms himself as a guy exactly once, and it's basically just him trying to conform to heterosexuality because that's how he thinks things should be (he thinks being attracted to a girl is proof that he is a boy/man). Like he explicitly states that he thinks that this (attraction to Haru) proves that he is a boy, which is weird for a male character to do, all things considered.

As for some fanarts of it, I really like these. Because yeah, she'd totally dress like a grandmother if she could.

Pic 1, Pic 2, Pic 3

And for some fanfiction, this is a really cute little fic

[closet-keys]

the whole idea of “genital preferences” feels like a way to degrade women (including cis women) tbh.

like I remember being a young dyke who was closeted and wanted to date girls but being so scared I was wrong, because I was seeing constant jokes and media hammering the idea that you might Think you like women, you might like Kissing women, but until you taste a vulva then you can never know for sure (so you shouldn’t risk it, since you don’t want to lead anyone on, better to never have queer sex). all these narratives showing “straight” girls getting that far and then realizing with disgust and horror that they are innately, Categorically Not Into Women because they do not enjoy a specific sex act with a specific genital configuration (because obviously that’s the only Real Lesbian way to fuck /s). and then returning to the “safety” of dating cis men.

and like the exact same thing applies to women with penises too. this idea that, well you might Think you’re attracted to her, you might like kissing her, but until you go down on her (cause obviously all sex with trans women involves contact with her penis /s) then you can never know for sure (so you shouldn’t risk it, since you don’t want to lead anyone on, better to never have sex with trans women). there’s an even greater volume of media and narratives, even more viscerally and violently, portraying people’s disgust at trans women’s privates, and then returning to the “safety” of dating cis people.

& it’s like hm, so we’re never questioning whether the constant misogynistic messaging about women’s genitals (literally no matter what they are!) is perhaps part of the reason people are socially incentivized to feel and express disgust towards them? no connection there? genitals are all just innately disgusting when they’re On Women and thats just a normal biological thing that has nothing to do with any social influence. it’s just biology that queer & trans women are disgusting? there’s no connection between people receiving constant messaging that performing oral sex on women is gross and the “orgasm gap” and the statistical reality that lesbians (cis and trans) tend to come out later in their lives than gay men & are more afraid of sexual rejection? none of that is related. Okay 👍

[drhegemony]

I'll also say that at least trans women, having professional and amateur media either being really against pre-op/non-op trans women's bodies or so into them that it'd just cut and dry fetishisation feels like it makes things so much worse.

At least with cis women's genitals there's been like multiple attempts to stop people from being weird about it since like the 70's and before, and generally is like something that feminism pushed back against as relatively standard belief for a long time.

[gustos-cave]

This is mostly just to make sure my F/F goggles aren't strapped on too tight, because I really can and have seen sapphic potentiality everywhere.

But Sunni and Calla's interactions in the show scream "we're feeling something that could be romantic but we're currently too young/too embedded in a world where queer people aren't around to know that" right?

Like every episode that they're together they're like two magnetic needles pointing right at each other?

Based, I'd really love to see Sunni and Calla grow up and fall in love, I recently re-watched the episode where Calla and Sunni meet (the magic hat episode) and the quickness in which they embrace each other. Sunni already thought she was amazing because shes a princess, but i could easily see that interest as an undiscovered crush that sunni just treats as friendship because... well what else could it be! They're both young, and the gummis isolation from humanity isnt helping, but as time goes on they could absolutely make a lovely pairing

[drhegemony]

Don't you worry, the goggles are strapped tight against my head (after all I've already written two fics about them, Dreams and sleepovers and Burn Marks, with more on the way). Honestly the wild thing is that after the magic hat episode, Calla and Sunni are like "My best friend, best friend in the whole world, my bestie" about each other in basically every episode they share. Even the one where they get mad at each other has multiple times in it that both risk death to save each other, as well as keep the Gummi Bears existence a secret.

And it's not the usual girl best friends that you find in most kids cartoons. There's no times where they fight over boys affections, no times they're envious (besides Sunni generally wanting to be a princess) of each other, at best there's one episode where they get shitty at each other but like they get over it real fast.

Sure Sunni is supposed to like Gusto (but like, I really think it's mostly that Gusto is the only bear in his like 20's she's ever met and the only one she doesn't immediately think of as Family).

Anyway, glad I'm not alone in seeing the potential.

[stillnaomi]

you see so much in the UK that the people who are most motivated in the communist movement get driven away from marxist parties by regressive attitudes within them. the two most notable ML parties in the UK are virulently transphobic and politely transphobic in turn. a quicky growing Maoist party collapsed entirely the other year after suppressing complaints of racism (amongst other factors.) anecdotally, I've also heard from women who left an ML party after always being given cleanup duty after meetings and being subjected to other constant low level sexism

uplifting the most oppressed within the movement isn't a distraction from "the real work" of the communist movement, it's an essential part of keeping oppressed groups active within it. if you think you can build the movement with only the least oppressed workers, and the handful of racialised, queer, women, and disabled people who can stomach constant prejudice, you're already sabotaging yourself before you've begun. the struggle for revolution doesn't only happen during revolutionary moments, where the mass of people is so dissatisfied that they revolt and the state's usual methods of governance have failed. the overwhelming majority of revolutionary struggle happens in the years, or decades, leading up to that, where we slowly and steadily build the leadership infrastructure, educate the proletariat, and sabotage the state where we can. when you ignore chauvinism within the party, you're hobbling your ability to operate through 99 percent of the revolutionary process

[drhegemony]

From my understand the most prominent troskist group in the UK had to deal with this problem nearly a decade ago, but it bares reminding.

You need to do away with regressive attitudes to build the movement.

You need to be anti-misogynist, anti-racist, anti-xenophobic, anti-queerphobic, ect and basically against the many forms of oppression the ruling class use to divide the working class. This cannot wait till after the revolution, it has to happen now, currently.

Marx and Engles were wrong to homophobic and paternally misogynist, and would fucking hate you sabotaging the movement towards communism because you were getting to hung up on their bigotry as somehow integral to historical materialism and the destruction of capitalism.

[kohakumeltyblood]

Trans people of Tumblr. If you could go back in time to when it all sorta started for you, that first time you went out in those clothes, the first time you had that moment of trying to be yourself and not just hidden away in your room, what would you say to yourself?

I'll start: "Don't let anxiety distract you from having fun" "Your outfit looks fine, stop worrying." "Your friends love you."

[sarinisanta]

"You are gonna end up looking quite hot eventually, I know it seems impossible now, but you can actually look good."

[theilluminantsystem]

"You dont realize how much of you there is, and how much happier you will be. Learn about yourself. For the first time in your life, you get to live. Enjoy life."

[kohakumeltyblood]

Sorry for posting your tags but I do think these things are important to share

[kohakumeltyblood]

You're not immune from your tags being posted with heartfelt words like that

[kohakumeltyblood]

[the-grove]

"please enjoy this. You aren't going to be found out. Your friends are here to support you. The wig looks good on you, and one day you wont need it, you'll have gorgeous pretty curls of your own one day. Also stop tucking it hurts and it's just going to make you uncomfortable and paranoid. I love you "

[sab201030]

"I know it's scary but it's so worth it in ways you can't begin to imagine" "you got this"

[kohakumeltyblood]

[deerlydivine]

"Hey, I know it feels impossible to know if the grass is greener on the other side right now, and I know you're scared. That's okay. Here can be scary, but we'll only know something else if we keep moving. I promise there will be people who still love you, even when it doesn't feel like it. Do it scared. Do it knowing the only way to escape this kind of fear, this kind of shame, is change. Please know that you're worth it, and you deserve a chance at happiness. I truly mean that. Good luck, little gender terrorist. 💙"

[june-egbert-official]

my first time wearing a dress in public felt like an impossible feat. it was scary and felt like i was doing something wrong.

the first time i used the women's bathroom was the same way.

but the first time someone called me "miss" or pointed me to the women's restroom when i asked made it all melt away because it was worth it. it's always worth it being true to yourself.

[doggirlpaws]

There's a million reasons you can come up with to stay in the closet, but once you come out the only regret you'll have is waiting so long

[drhegemony]

Ahh nothing heartfelt on this one but;

"The government isn't going to take away your benefit or student allowance because you start to transition (that's a silly thought in 2016 in NZ), You start now and in less than 6 months you can change your name and pronouns basically everywhere and in like a year and a half (going through the public system) you could be on estrogen"

This isn't trans related but "Fucking look up the dental school and go there - you need to start taking better care of your teeth."
