Hello! You can call me Hollow, HK or Knell (They/Them) for now. I do art, play video games and TTRPGS, and make blorbos. Occasionally I write, though I don't share that part so much. Here be mostly art and ramblings about my characters, both of which can be considered multi-fandom. I don't recommend following me if you are a minor. I'll try to tag stuff as best I can for darker topics. My asks are open! I just probably will not answer things for the most part that do not pertain to some aspect of me or my work/this blog/my characters/etc.

Ever notice that when trans/nonbinary people AFAB mention that they were AFAB, they're accused of weaponizing their AGAB, but when they don't bring it up, they're accused of trying to disguise being "TME"? Surely that doesn't indicate anything malicious.

i thought we all agreed that “men invading womens spaces” was like. the epitome of terfism. what the hell happened. do you not hear yourselves?

[hazy-daffodil]

I feel like as a general rule, we should avoid groups that try to tell us, "No one in this world understands you but us." I have never seen a group like this in my life that was not deeply insidious.

The test for allyship isn't how you treat an oppressed person who is your friend, family, spouse. It's how you treat an oppressed person you absolutely can't stand who is vile and loathsome in every way.

Do you gender trans people correctly even when they're being absolutely terrible people? Do you refuse to use the r-slur against someone who suicide baited you but is neurodivergent? Do you refuse to snark at a mentally ill person who is being genuinely unpleasant, "go take your meds!"

Do you allow members of marginalized groups to be terrible people without judging their entire demographic for it? One of the most invisible yet vital forms of privilege is the right to be terrible people as an individual rather than as a group. Do you acknowledge that there are bad people in every group, that it doesn't make their group less worth fighting for? Or do you shake your head if you happen to get mistreated by some who belong to a group and insist the entire group is awful and not worth your allyship?

Oppressed people can see how you treat those of us you like, but do you still treat the worst of us with the basic dignity you treat the worst of other groups with?

The reason why so many of y'all's feminism sucks is because you still believe deep down in your hearts that there are only two kinds of people in the world: precious, ethereal, fragile dollthings called "women", and violent, lustful, rage-fueled apes called "men". Until you throw that idea away, 3rd-grade-tier "girls rule boys drool, girls are princesses and boys are stinky :(" is as feminist as we'll ever get-- and I hope it's obvious that that's lightyears away from the bare minimum of where we need to be.

if you look at two nonbinary people with the exact same gender identity and not only call one transfem and one transmasc based off their assumed agab (which is often wrong bc people forget hrt exists and also, y’know, intersex people) but think they've got fundamentally different experiences with their gender identity and transitioning because of that you don’t actually support nonbinary people you’re just seeing them both as lying trans men/trans women

[elvisactshually]

you have got to stop thinking that "two genders" automatically means Man and Woman when referring to definitions for sexualities and just Everything Ever

[cosmossystem]

it's a horrible feeling to see self-hating transmascs and intersex folk and nonbinary folk who downplay what they go through because we've conditioned them to think they don't have it "bad enough". fascism hurts us all, there is room in the conversation for your experiences and your perspective

[catboynutsack]

ppl on this website will say that those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it and then recycle the same "This Marginalized Queer Group Is Actually Bad And It's Actually Okay To Bully Them And Harass Them" discourse every year like clockwork

[sirenium]

people get so mad when you push for more inclusive language and it's so strange. 'women's health' not everyone who can get pregnant is a woman, Jared.

'but, but... erasure!' it's not erasing cis, perisex women to acknowledge that other groups have these experiences, too lmao. if anything, calling it 'women's health', or stuff like PMOS a 'woman's condition', erases multiple groups in one go! but God forbid you acknowledge trans men and nonbinary people with uteruses or, like, intersex people in general.

[actualalivecreature]

some of you are 2 steps away from saying nonbinary people getting gender affirming surgery is 'mutilation'

[lagtrainzzz]

if your gender is binary, then you don't have the lived experiences of a nonbinary person. stop trying to tell us how we're affected by things.

[forethemorrow]

Blisteringly hot take, apparently: Misgendering nonbinary people is bad. This includes when you "know" what their "actual" gender is.

[bereft-of-form]

it has become so normalized to completely ignore nonbinary people in conversations about trans community as a whole, to the point where people react with active hostility if you bring them up.

if you point out how "trans women and men" isn't an adequate synonym to "trans people", you are nitpicking the wording. if you bring up how most issues harming binary trans people are affecting nonbinary people to the same degree, you are derailing, but at the same time if you "make your own post" binary people won't engage with it. and they for sure won't try to talk about nonbinary people themselves at all. we are the ones who are always expected to compromise, to stay quiet so "real" trans people can talk, to make sure binary people aren't threatened by us.

Since it seems this needs to be spelled out for some folks:

“The patriarchy encourages and often rewards toxic behaviors from men while treating femininity, non-toxic masculinity, or other non-conforming presentation and behavior as inferior” - not gender essentialist

“Masculinity is ontologically evil and femininity is good and pure” - extremely gender essentialist
