A Guide to a Sunny Life of Gender Fluidity

The Adventure 

I started the Tumblr Girls Club as an adventure with no map. Out of pure luck and serendipity I have stumbled on something so much bigger then myself or the gorgeous girls I have learned so much from and with. 

The Good

I have discovered so many beautiful, honest, sincere people who shine the light you can only have to share when you have found yourself. I have discovered gorgeous girls in successful places in their life - in careers, in warm and wonderful marriages or single and loving it. They tend to live in liberal cities that have social support structures. 

The Bad

But I have found myself fighting back tears (and losing) as I discover the stories of society’s cruelties to the gorgeous, harmless, brave and futuristic girls around the world. Girls abandoned by their families at a young age, beaten, stabbed, mugged, raped, left for dead - not one isolated case but in every continent and in so many countries. Not stories from a magazine or stats you read - but girls right here reading and sharing this along with you, and I have met a new girl like this almost every day but every week many times since starting the club. 

The Lonely Ducklings

The most common story I found, almost in everyone I talked to was a loneliness, fear and isolation. Being kept from who you are is crippling, and being afraid of who you are is probably even more so. Girls who are in serious monogamous relationships that don’t know how to talk to their wives or girlfriends or how to get their support. Who feel very alone in their adventures. Trapped (as I was) as hairy men in panties in the bathroom and in fear of their partner’s reaction (who they usually love like i do/did)

THE WORLD *IS* CHANGING

I know I’m the only one who is optimistic about this. But believe me. This is a change we can make. Its a change we are making. Just 20 years ago a girl born in the country side would live her experience in complete isolation. The internet helps us create an instant mesh network. We can support each other, be there for each other, be the social structures that weren’t there yesterday. Today we are here. 

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

If nobody else in the world is here for you, then at least I am. You message me. You tell me, you talk to me. It is much much bigger then me, you’ll see. The thousands, the millions, the hundreds of millions of people who support you in becoming yourself. I won’t have it anymore. I WONT. And you don’t know how many people are on my side - SO many gorgeous souls around the world boys or girls old and young who send me messages of pure support. They are here for YOU not me. They are yours not mine. You are not alone, I won’t allow it anymore. 

THERE ARE ROADMAPS FOR YOU

I went on this adventure without a map. But i have one or two of them now. And I have found others building maps too. These maps are the ways others like me have found to be gender fluid in a blessed life, full of sun and support and success. The world hasn’t been working on these maps yet. But we are now. And the Girls Club will be discovering them, sharing them and you will all re-map them. We will think we found India when we found the Americas. We will name things wrong and sometimes find ourselves in storms together and sometimes just on the beach in our bikinis in Tulum. That’s OK. Because we are building the new maps and they will become more and more true as they become true for you. 

THE FIRST MAPS 

I am working first on the maps that are very personal to me. And then the ones that are so adjacent to me, that I have learned so much from others that I can collaborate with them on and help so that many maps get release. The maps rely on two basic principles which seem contradictory but aren’t: WE ARE ALL THE SAME and WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT. They are both true at the same time in a beautiful way. Every human alive is a pervert - with sexual fantasies they are terrified of and hide from everyone they know. That’s just nature and the universe. But we are all different - whether we are comfortable as a boy or a girl or as fluidly moving between the two. Whether we like girls or boys more or serious relationships or being single or being open or any of those permutations - those are where we are like snow flakes again building our own totally unique pasts and futures. 

Here’s my first list of maps to work on: 

1 - Gender Fluidity for Married Couples How can you lead your wife to find the safe place to explore the world together, to explore who you both really are. I am in a completely monogomous relationship, I would NEVER EVER cheat and I am married to my dream. But I spent 10 years hiding from her. I think there are a series of conversations and steps to possibly take to get to a safe place for a couple to truly start to know each other and create trust at the same time as incredible excitement. We lead our lives based on narratives we’ve been told that we follow and there are a new set of narratives that are unfolding as much better options.

2 - Working On Your Picker as a Gender Fluid Person How do we choose which people to give our time to? How do you turn a flirty look in a classroom to a life spent together building a family? How do you know if you can be with a girl you have a crush on or are in love with if you need to be gender fluid and it is a secret? How can you pick the people who support you for who you are and give people a safe, low shock way to be able to understand you and themselves. There are people you need to get away from and never trust inside your life and people who you need to find a way to open up to and build a million times more trust with. There are maps for understanding your options as a gender fluid person that are much better then you might have initially thought. 

3 - What (Semi) Straight Dudes Can Do  There are so many men out there, they might classify as dudes or alphas or bulls or just men or guys, who don’t want or need to become gender fluid. But its you, reading this, who knows - you are a compassionate person who has never bred hate but always been open and could never treat someone poorly because they belong to a minority. You read the Star Belly Sneech and you got it. You might think you are a casual outsider looking in. That’s not true. This change is about YOU. You are a leader, a person people listen to. The quiet in the closet support for this is going to change - through you. The mesh network of support we are creating is going to grow - love is a multiplier effect and you will use it to be stronger then the people, your friends and coworkers and family who need you. With humor, with lightiness, with sun with small comments and the way an opinion can be steered you are going to change the world slightly and in every way. And in our private secondary internet identieis you are going to be part of the mesh network that supports gorgeous brave girls in their journeys so they are never alone. Not with you here. Brave, sincere, genuine, a gentlemen who respects women who defends women who fights for women. I fight with you.

There is inherent truth in reasoned, rational and logical thinking. Acceptance comes from understanding, and opening the eyes of the misinformed and poorly educated. Be real, be human… and always accept with open hearts and minds!

took me awhile to see it

Just some January 6, 2021 Twitter highlights

[writing-prompt-s]

after dying god informs you that hell is a myth, and “everyone sins, its ok”. instead the dead are sorted into six “houses of heaven” based on the sins they chose.

[wpsstories]

We arrived first at the House of Lust. “House” is a misleading term. It was more of a camp, spread over acres and acres of lush forest. There was a white sandy beach (nude, of course) full of copulating couples. There were little cabins sprinkled all along the path, from which orgasmic moans regularly came belting out. Men with six pack abs and women with perky breasts strolled by without even noticing me and God. They only had eyes for each other, tickling and pinching each other with flirtatious giggles.

“What do you think?” God asked as we passed a nineteen-way taking place in a pool of champagne. Little cherubs flitted overhead armed with mops and cleaning supplies, thankfully. “Lust is our most popular sin.” I eyed the supermodel-like figures of a couple passing nearby, and could easily see why. “You can look however you want. Hell, you can be whatever gender you want. No fetish is too taboo, and no desire can be denied here.”

It was quite tempting, but I wasn’t ready to make a permanent decision here. “Let’s see the others,” I told God.

We carried on to Greed. We passed rows and rows of mansions, each more opulent than the next. Some of them were so large that they would have had enough bed rooms to fit my entire hometown. And so many different styles: one second, we were in a beautiful French vineyard in front of a gorgeous chateau with the Alps in the background. The next second, a warm tropical beach with a modern mansion atop breathtaking cliffs. After that, a ski chalet in Colorado with a roaring fire in a hearth large enough to fit an ox. Each one had various Italian sports cars and Rolls Royces parked in front, with the occasional smattering of boats, helicopters, etc.

“Any material desire you ever wanted,” God explained. “Your own world, where you can have everything. You want the Hope Diamond? You can fly to Washington DC in your own solid gold helicopter and buy it from the Smithsonian. Hell, you can just buy the Smithsonian.”

Also tempting, but I decided to keep looking.

Gluttony was next up. Tables and tables of the very finest foods: beautiful steaks cooked medium rare; butter-poached lobster tail; fresh oysters on a half shell; exotic wines in dusty bottles that had been hiding in the cellars of the world’s finest restaurants. Everyone had a glass of champagne in hand and simply lounged on couches and chairs near the tables, eating endlessly. As soon as the inhabitants took a bite, the food just instantly came back. My mouth watered even watching them.

“In every other House, the food is practically sawdust compared to Gluttony,” God explained. “You haven’t truly experienced heaven until you’ve been to Gluttony.”

I shook my head, and we kept moving.

Sloth was as you’d expect. An endless sea of the softest mattresses, stacked with cushions and pillows that made the story of the princess and the pea seem minimalist. Little angels visited each resident, giving them massages that made them all melt into their blankets.

Wrath was… well, a lot like what I’d expect Hell to be like. Fire, brimstone, whips, torture.. you know, the works. Except here, you weren’t the one being tortured. Every enemy you’d ever made in your real life was now under your thumb. “Lots of people choose their fathers,” God explained. “Lots of grudges against parents in general, you know. But you’re not limited to that. Someone beat you out for a big promotion back on Earth? Take your pound of flesh here.”

Then we arrived at Envy. It looked… well, a lot like home.

“Go on in,” God said, gesturing toward the door. I turned the knob and walked in… and found Emily waiting inside. She ran forward, wrapped her arms around my neck, and planted a kiss right on my lips. “Welcome home, honey.”

I looked back toward God. “Oh, don’t be coy,” he said. “You have no secrets from me. We all know that you were in love with your best friend’s wife.” She didn’t seem to hear him at all; she went back into the hall. “We all know that you just settled for your own wife while secretly pining after her. Well, this is your chance to live happily ever after.”

I peered into the kitchen. Emily was baking something, wearing nothing but an apron. Her curly black hair fell softly over her shoulder as she whisked ingredients. She turned back, noticed I was observing her, and an enthusiastic smile spread across her face.

“It’s what you’ve always wanted, isn’t it?” God whispered in my ear.

I wanted to take it. God damn did I want to take it. But I shook my head.

God seemed puzzled. “You need to make a decision,” he told me.

“I haven’t seen Pride yet.”

He scoffed. “No one ever wants Pride, trust me.”

“Well, I want to see it.”

_________________________

Pride was boring. Just a row of workbenches in a bare white room.

“I don’t get it,” I told God.

“Yeah, no one does,” he answered. “That’s why no one ever chooses it. Doesn’t cavorting in Lust sound better than sitting here building little trinkets for the rest of eternity? Wouldn’t you rather gorge yourself in Gluttony? Or spend time with Emily in Envy?”

I considered the options again. “I pick Pride,” I finally told him.

He narrowed his eyes. “What? Look at it!” He gestured around the room again. There wasn’t much to look at. “Why would you choose this for the rest of time?”

“Because you don’t want me to pick it,” I told him. If he was really God, he’d know what a contrarian I can be. And I knew he was hiding something, trying to pretend like Pride didn’t exist. There was something special about it.

God scowled back. “Fine.” He led me over to one of the workbenches. In the center, there was a black space. A blank, empty void that went on forever. “Here’s your universe,” he said. “You’ve got seven days to get started.” He took his seat at the bench next to me and went back to tinkering in his own world. After a long pause, he finally spoke again: “You know, it might be nice for me to actually have some company for once.”

Defend👏 women👏 who👏 wear👏 the👏 hijab👏 or👏 any👏 other👏 religious👏 head👏 covering!

They deal with this shit every waking moment. Are they telling you that the crucifix or whatever religious symbol you choose wear makes them uncomfortable? No, and you wanna know why?

Because they’re not assholes and deserve to show their faith just as openly as the rest of us.

Don’t be a fucking asshole like the guy here. Be the other woman.

When the black hole strikes back…

[comradekatara]

adult gaang height order:

aang is the tallest by a landslide. his towering over everyone at all times should be intimidating, but because it’s aang, it’s just not.

sokka and mai are both the exact same height and they are both convinced that they are the taller one. they argue about this at least once a month.

zuko is that sort of vague height wherein he’s not necessarily short but he’s not quite tall, either. his height changes depending on his mood.

katara is an average, perfectly respectable height, but also she’s trained herself to walk in very high heels because a) they make her feel fancy and grown-up and b) she likes making men feel uncomfortable.

suki is also an average, perfectly respectable height, but she would never wear heels, and as much as she respects katara, she will never understand her choice to do so.

whenever people refer to ty lee as being “petite” she’s like “hehe yeah😊” because she loves being underestimated.

azula is actually quote-unquote “petite,” but people know better than to call her that because no one wants to end up on a rotisserie.

toph is the shortest of the group by far, but she doesn’t usually mind in the least, since appearances mean nothing to her. except for sometimes, when katara will make fun of her height (bc she’s bored), and it is on those days that toph will fashion herself a pair of giant stilts out of earthbending and then stomp around yelling “sorry what was that katara? I couldn’t hear you from all the way up here!”

i found the weirdest yt channel like its not even really weird but im just???

 but anyway some girl has spend years animating a show with her furry ocs set in a western universe with hints of?? native american and aztec mythology as well as like bits of others but not really cause theres a rabbit who wears a fuckin sailor outfit and i cant follow the plot at all and theres a crane called ichabod bc subtle 

its fucking me up bc theres so much effort in it but its so haphazard 

[malatruse]

i actually love this

[theliterarywolf]

Okay, but for this to be animated by one person is fucking AMAZING because we have indie animated projects started and shattered by full teams that don’t even have this much flow.

[scaliefox]

Youtube is weird because sometimes you find amazing art projects buried in it’s annuals that defy explanation due to their quality and the fact they never went viral.

[eclecticmiscellaneous]

To watch

[snowy-scales]

i’ve been binging this and i’m on episode 24 and really i find the story pretty interesting and not really that difficult to follow??? my only concern is how all the human children except for like Charles inexplicably look like full-grown adults instead of like actual children

[hapalopus]

I’ve been a fan of No Evil for a little over a year, and I really can’t recommend it enough! Episodes 1-9 are mostly just animation tests and shorts to get an idea of the characters (though episode 2 and 7 are important to understand the backstory and episode 8 and 9 set up two major conflicts throughout the rest of the series).

There’s a lot of exposition in episode 10 which can be hard to follow on a first watch but is really rewarding when you go back to re-watch everything. Also, the animation is freakin gorgeous now and then, just

SHAPESHIFTING

MAGIC

BEAUTIFUL CHARACTERS

FULLY ANIMATED ASL

PERFECT REACTION GIFS

Also they arrange and record a lot of the music in the show all on their own which is frankly amazing https://youtu.be/L6SZgUVTb4Q

Omg I love this series! Everyone should go give it some love!
