I’m taking a break from tumblr, because I’ve reached a point where I am constantly overthinking everything and anything I’ve said on this website no matter what I’m doing. I’m not sure if I’m gonna come back. Probably beccause my impulse control is zero.

Just saw a super cool clawdeen redesign, and then accidentally refreshed the page. A moment of silence for the art lost on the way.

You cant separate the art from the artist if you consuming the art is beneficial to the artist

“If you believe in transandrophobia you’re stupid”

”Transmisandry isn’t real”

”Transandrophobia/transmisandry truthers DNI”

TRANS MEN AND TRANS WOMEN HAVE DIFFERENT STRUGGLES. THEY ARE TREATED BADLY FROM DIFFERENT REASONS AND IN DIFFERENT WAYS. ACKNOWLEDGING ONE GROUP’S STRUGGLE DOES NOT TAKE AWAY FROM ANOTHER GROUP’S STRUGGLE.

”’Transandrophobia’ is just misdirected misogony/transmisogyny”

Do people make jokes about how hilarious the concept of a pregnant WOMAN would be? Do they talk about how evil trans women are for transitioning to the “abusive gender”? Do they fetishize trans women as weak and submissive twinks? NO! THEY DON’T*! Because this is hatred directed specifically at trans MEN, and while yes, a lot of it does have roots in misogyny and seeing women as weak, it is not. The same. Thing. You know what else has roots in misogyny? TRANSmisogyny. But because the women in question are trans, the hate leveraged towards them is different than the hate used against cis women, and it is also impacted by plain old transphobia. Thus a different word is used to clarify. Why should the concept of transandrophobia be ANY different?

”Trans men actually have male privilege.”

Most trans men actually don’t have male privilege, because a lot of people refuse to see trans men as men. I’m sure stealth trans men benefit from male privilege, but that would be taken away if it became common knowledge that they were trans.

“What people call ‘transandrophobia’ is just people being a little mean online. They don’t face any actual discrimination.”

Just because you don’t personally witness this discrimination does not mean it doesn’t happen. Just because trans men don’t talk about every horrible thing that happens to them online, doesn’t mean horrible things don’t happen. Trans men are statistically more likely to be raped than trans women are. WHICH IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN. You can very easily find studies on this subject, it took me about 30 seconds. Also, people saying mean shit online IS discrimination. It doesn’t mean it’s the worst thing to ever happen, but it still is discrimination. Thats like if I said “All gay people should die” and after being called out on it saying “Well it was just online so it’s not homophobic, I’m just being a little mean.” What you say online matters, because it does actually impact real people.

Additionally, as an aroace person, I can confidently say that EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Of these points being made are exactly what people were saying about a-spec people a decade ago. “Ace people have straight privilege” “‘Aphobia’ is just people being mean online” “Asexual women being correctively raped is just misdirected lesbophobia” And I don’t want to see another community of queer people completely ostracized and torn apart. You may think that isn’t where we are heading, but it is. And I’m so sick of the infighting.

*yes I am aware that SOME people do this. But that is not the majority, and it does not change the fact that these are things primarily done towards trans MEN

Baa baa backstreets, have you any boys

[lost-and-kinda-dumb]

got pissed off and made this

[uptownthots]

that post where someone says lesbians are over represented in media and all the examples were kids cartoons. lol

[userdoesnotexistintable]

I mean, cartoons are the only media that ever mattered to me… so yeah?

[uptownthots]

this is a really embarrassing addition to be making at 40 years old unfortunately

[duckwithaknife84]

no, it isn’t. Anyone of any age can enjoy media, you don’t stop being interested in things just because you are an adult. That being said, claiming that because there are a lot of lesbians in a specific genre that you exclusively watch, they are over represented, is wrong. That’s like only listening to rap music and then saying that there are too many black artists in the music industry. (Obviously not a perfect comparison, but the best I could think of at the moment.)

[uptownthots]

it actually is really embarrassing for a grown adult to be perpetuating stupid lesbophobic lies made up by tweens a decade ago because they like cartoons, yeah 😭

[duckwithaknife84]

I never said it wasnt embarassing to be lesbophobic. I’m sorry if I misunderstood what you were saying, but it seemed as though you were saying it’s embarrasing to watch cartoons as an adult. I do agree that consuming only cartoons and no other media is not good, and I do agree that even in the subgenre of cartoons that has a lot of queer characters in it, lesbians are not super well represented. Additionally, I acknowledged in my post that my analogy was not perfect. I simply could not think of another way to illustrate my point, which was that if you only engage in a specific type of media you will see trends within that media that are specific to it and not indicative of trends in the larger world. Not to say that lesbians are over represented in cartoons, because they arent.

[do-not-u-dare]

is it so bad that I want to act like a stereotypical teenager?? that i want to not give a fuck about school and have a room that looks like everything was tipped from the shelves onto the floor and stay up until 3am everyday scrolling? is it so bad that i want to get up at 12 and sit in my pyjamas for the entire weekend and text my friends all day long?

i want to binge watch a series i want to do stupid shit i want to sneak out at night i want to dye my hair ridiculous colours i want to wear a shit ton of makeup i want to lie in bed half the day doing nothing i want to have sleepovers

i feel like i’m just 9 year old me with an aged up body, fuckass irrational feelings, and a phone

i feel like i’m being treated like a 9 year old with a phone.

i just want my fucking “reckless youth” while it lasts

so maybe i can watch kids do stupid shit and smile and say i was like them once

[manicpixienitemaregirl]

It isn’t embarassing to like cartoons at 40 years old (correct me if that isn’t what you meant.) Anyone of any age can enjoy media, you don’t stop being interested in things just because you are an adult. That being said, claiming that because there are a lot of lesbians in a specific genre that you exclusively watch, they are over represented, is wrong. That’s like only listening to rap music and then saying that there are too many black artists in the music industry. (Obviously not a perfect comparison [because cartoons are not deeply rooted in lesbian culture and primarily created by lesbians], but the best I could think of at the moment.) That being said, cartoons don’t even HAVE an overabundance of lesbians. Even cartoons with queer creators and lots of queer characters don’t have many lesbians, and the representation tends to be rather two dimensional. But, my point is, even if they did, cartoons alone to not reflect the public’s general attitude towards lesbians and lesbian representation.

"I hate cops, Cops should die"- a chosen profession, good to say- helpful to humanity to hate cops "I hate men, kill all men" - something they didn't choose, is radfem ideology.

nonbinary people who have boobs and like their boobs and dont bind are still nonbinary

nonbinary people who use she/her pronouns are still nonbinary

nonbinary people who wear dresses and makeup and nail polish are still nonbinary

theyre not inherently transfem or fem (unless thats how they individually identify) and theyre not "faking" being nonbinary

nonbinary identities dont all look the same and what you perceive as feminine could be neutral or xenine or whatever else to that nonbinary person
