intro, take two electric boogaloo

hey y’all. pinned post. pretty straightforward.

so. who am i?

that’s a great question. i’m lark, but you can call me rin as well. i’m a tme trans genderfluid cuntboy and use they/he/it pronouns— unless using “it” makes you uncomfortable, in which case i use it/its exclusively xoxo <3 most xenos are fine, but NO she/her unless i explicitly give you permission.

i’m autistic with various other neurodivergences, and i’m also brown (of the south asian variety). i’m an adult between the ages of 19 and 21, although i’m not comfortable sharing my exact age.

a burgeoning scholar of race and gender, i’m in college studying political science and communication, but i used to study neuroscience and still have a special interest in it!

if you know me from a certain sideblog, you’re welcome to engage with me here as well, but i try and keep my “gimmicks” separate— as you can likely already tell from the first-person address.

i try to consistently ID images, but sometimes i'm too tired or i want to get a post out quickly or whatever, so all newer posts without an ID will be tagged "no image ID" or "no ID", and ones with an ID are tagged "image ID" and/or "image description".

my ask box is always open. anon is on for my asks, please don't abuse it. for my fics, i give blanket permission for podcasts, fanart, translations, etc. i only ask that i’m informed via a tag or an "inspired by ___" (on ao3), so i can reblog and enjoy them.

i don’t believe in DNIs but if you’re any or believe in of the following, you probably won’t agree with a lot of what i say:

TERF/SWERF/TWERFs

honestly most radfems in general

bioessentialists, even the “woke” versions

Zionists

tankies

right-wingers and neo-Nazis

gen AI dickriders

“transracial”

perisex afab “transfems” and 99% of intersex afab “transfems” too

folks who believe in transandrophobia/transmisandry as a structural form of oppression

uhhh i’m probably forgetting some things but send an ask if you’re unsure

if you send me asks, be respectful. if you want a serious and nuanced answer, i expect a serious and nuanced question. i will match your tone.

common tags i use are beneath the cut. welcome to my blog and enjoy your scrolling!

-

common tags: lark speaks (original posts, rbs with commentary), [fandom], [character name], funny, politics, u.s. politics, writing

tw tags: ableism, transphobia, racism, gore, blood, child abuse, abuse, nsft, misogyny, sexism, transmisogyny, food

i’m always willing to add to my tw list, so don’t be afraid to ask— i promise i don’t bite (hard) <3

putting everyone in time out until they can stop responding to increasingly transmisogynistic public bathroom laws with "and this is extra bad because it will impact cis women who don't fit traditional standards of femininity too!!"

[redstonedust]

the whole "insulting someone based on their appearance is bad because it could indirectly hurt people you like who share that feature" is a good start for unlearning body shaming but i do think we need to go further and remind people that even if there was some physical trait that was magically 10000% exclusive to conservatives and creeps and nobody else ever had it, we still shouldnt be insulting them based on that. because the problem with them is not their appearance its their ideology and actions. by insulting their appearance you arent just indirectly insulting others who look like that, youre literally not making the correct point. stay on topic ya know.

[redstonedust]

also to be clear bc some people have mentioned it, theres already aspects of peoples appearance that are 10000% exclusive to a specific ideology (a tattoo of a fascist symbol, for example) but i really dont think you can count that as insulting someone based on their appearance because the appearance isn't the problem. idc if the tattoo looks good or bad i care that this person is broadcasting their fascist views to the world. i hope the difference is obvious,

[demilypyro]

having free control over our endrocrine systems and the ability to change our genitals is currently inextricably tied to trans rights, and for good reason, but frankly i don't think it even needs to be. it should just be a matter of bodily autonomy, and that should be universal. if a cis dude wants tits and a pussy i think that would be fine. if cis women want a dick or nothing at all that should be allowed i think. people shouldn't need to be transgender to be allowed to change their bodies. free the nipple, enlarge the nipple, remove the nipple. whatever the fuck you want. i dont know if there's a term for this belief but i hold it very strongly. everybody biohack yourselves NOW

[the-quasar-hero]

I yet have to see any proof that this so-called “sex” is real and does in fact exist in our world to any tangible degree; and yet the stork exists and we can clearly observe it.

It turns out that you can become the person you’ve always envisioned but you’ll still have the person you were before inside of you and you have to treat them with as much forgiveness and love as possible

here's two articles about how JK Rowling just posted on X an upskirt photo of Freda Wallace, a transgender woman, after deadnaming her and misgendering her repeatedly online.

JK Rowling deadnamed and posted 'upskirt' photo of trans woman on X

The wealthy author escalated a social media spat that resulted in posting a photo from a 2023 event at the Institute of Economic Affairs in

JK Rowling posts upskirt image of trans woman while begging to debate her - LGBTQ Nation

Rowling posted the picture taken from below because the trans woman, she said, was "refusing to debate me."

[sailatina3]

Thank you for posting without the fucking destiel meme

[crypticarchivist]

So in summation; Rowling demanded access to a woman’s time and when she couldn’t get it she retaliated by posting an upskirt image of her and called her fat, and some of her fans even went “I think I can see her genitals”.

She literally went “debate me! Debate me!” Over and over like the grifter she is and when she couldn’t get what she wanted and when “no” wasn’t enough she resorted to retaliatory sex-pestery, posting an image of somebody’s body with intention to shame and embarrass and spawn more waspish tittering from her internet followers.

Rowling is trash and this is disgraceful behavior, in case anyone has forgotten.

[shabby-blog]

She had also claimed Freda "deserved" this sexual harassment because of what she was wearing... You know... The same excuse used over and over to try and justify rape.

[villainessbian]

J K Rowling committed a sex crime against a trans woman (specifically, violating the Sexual Offences Act 2003)

(1) A person (A) commits an offence if—

(a) A intentionally shares a photograph or film which shows, or appears to show, another person (B) in an intimate state, (b) B does not consent to the sharing of the photograph or film, and (c) A does not reasonably believe that B consents.

(2) A person (A) commits an offence if—

(a) A intentionally shares a photograph or film which shows, or appears to show, another person (B) in an intimate state, (b) A does so with the intention of causing B alarm, distress or humiliation, and (c) B does not consent to the sharing of the photograph or film.

Having someone ask ChatGPT in a meeting is like being a grown-ass professional adult in a room full of other grown-ass professional adults trying to solve a problem, while a colleague with one of those baby toys that makes animal sounds repeatedly presses the cow button. And we all have to stop what we're doing and listen to cow go moo and say "wow hm yeah that's not really what we're asking but the cow does definitely go moo, good thoughts"

[baddywronglegs]

Except increasingly the cow is being treated as a respected contributor to meetings as we pivot to a moo-centric business model that principally produces bullshit

[samirasystole]

ahhh so you're shown to be capable of recognising that people's trauma can make them act irrationally and unpleasantly! you recognised it in the white man! can you also recognise it in the brown woman? no? she's mean and bitchy and uncaring? i see

[juniper776]

if you tell a trans woman she is "enforcing passing culture" by wanting to pass and expressing it i honestly hope nothing good happens in your life ever after that

[amazonclimber]

I wish women like me didn’t feel like they had to pass to feel safe. But if you blame trans women for that? I hope every sock you put on forever is unpleasantly damp.

it's kind of crazy climate change has occurred at such a remarkable pace that I and everyone else around my age can remember a completely different climate in our childhoods. I truly watched winter gradually disappear in my life.

[room429]

"You're too young to remember this, but there used to be so many insects outside that you would have to clean them off the windshield after a long car ride" is the kind of sentence that would have been in a cheesy scifi short story earlier in my life, perhaps submitted to a literary magazine and accepted to show support for its environmentalist message - now it's something I've said in earnest.

[nocturniko]

i feel like a lot of fandoms pride themselves on being gayer than the source material but have they considered being less racist and less misogynistic than the source material as well . could be revolutionary

it’s nice seeing other people starting to open their eyes to what i’ve been saying for a while in that the current use and proliferation of the term “gooning” is an outright tool of fascism

[butchfagminotaur]

the second “gooning” stopped referring to a specific sexual practice and started to be used as a replacement for “masturbation” we needed to kill it immediately and sadly we didn’t

[butchfagminotaur]

if you call someone a “masturbator” in a derisive way you sound like a fucking mormon but suddenly you switch to calling them a “gooner” and you’ve created a way to express the same puritanical beliefs around masturbation that is not only palatable to the average person but the attached underlying implications of the term make people way more susceptible to adopting those beliefs themselves

leftists need to fucking stop using the term “gooner” right fucking now

[butchfagminotaur]

demonizing human sexuality and treating masturbation and sexual activity as deviant and disgusting are straight up fascist tools and it’s startling how successful this aspect of it has been the last few years
