he who is lost

this blog runs mostly on a queue of reblogs, 90% of the time original posts won't be queued. original post tag (including chains) is #txt.

hi. i've been on Tumblr since 2023 but i've decided i want a new start on a clean slate. this account used to have another purpose so the blog icon looks a little goofy but that will be fixed soon.

the basics are, i use any pronouns but they, i'm genderqueer as fuck, i'm white australian, and i'm a headmate in a system.

no dni but my stances (and more) are below.

i'm anti harassment, anti censorship, (neuship), pro trans, anti radfem, crit "transfeminism", pro mogai, pro "contradictory lables", pro (other/fiction)kin, pro alterhuman/nonhuman, anti-psychiatry, pro all system origins, (non-participating in syscourse), heavycrit transID, anti radqueer and very Very pro kink. (and pro para & anti contact for sentient beings who cannot give consent but i don't talk about it because i'm still learning about paras & such)

we won't talk much about being a system on this blog but we'll probably end up making some sort of system blog eventually.

we've also been pretty unstable and easily irritable lately so i'd say in general, interact with caution. cuz my patience is low and i get grumpy fast, kay?

another thing is that even on our last account we've been really bad with sparatically tagging things. most of the time it's just fandom reblogs that already have base tags so the filter has already caught them, but we're also bad at tagging for trigger and censor warnings. if i ever miss a tag don't be afraid to shoot me a dm or ask in order to ask me to tag something.

I refuse to reblog callout posts because I'm a prison abolitionist

[kalichnikov]

In all my years in this website, and I've been here a long time, I can't recall a single instance of a callout post leading to actual restitution for the victims of the alleged harm the person was accused of. Even in cases where the accusations were true. Even in cases where there was legitimate harm done to another person.

Remember the sixpencee child slave thing? What happened there, exactly? Was the kid freed? No? They were just run off the website? OK so what good exactly did that do?

Remember the bone stealing witch? What exactly did that witchhunt accomplish? The person got arrested, oh that's great, the american justice system surely rectified the situation

And again, those are instances where the accusations were true and involved real substantive harm to another person. We used to joke on here how callout posts were shit like "receipts below: [several paragraphs of petty fandom drama] [three paragraphs of petty interpersonal drama involving cheating on partners or stealing food out of the fridge or something] [fabricated evidence that the person is responsible for the murder of JonBenét Ramsey]"

And that was back in the 2010s. The meta has changed. Callouts used to be a tool people used to point out actual harm a person had done, rarely, and more commonly were used as a means of bullying somebody over petty drama. Nowadays they're used to manufacture outrage and harassment against marginalized populations. They are a weapon bigots use to turn us against each other. A few manufactured accusations here, some out of context or clipped screenshots there, and people who should be standing in solidarity with each other against white supremacy, patriarchy, cisheteronormativity, are instead devouring each other.

It's sinister as shit, dude, and people will still share these accusations without a second thought. So, why? What is the point? What's the best case scenario here? Raising "awareness?" what the fuck is that supposed to accomplish? Will we get the oh-so-trustworthy authorities involved? Are we hoping for an arrest? A conviction? Throwing a queer or poc person in prison so they can be abused and assaulted and humiliated behind bars? Is that who we are?

Callouts and the like don't serve any real good in the world. At a macro scale they divide us when we should be standing together, and at a micro scale they result in deeply traumatic never-ending harassment and threats and doxxing and worse to a person who almost definitely does not deserve it. And again, for what? A sense of "justice?" this is not justice. This is retribution. It is punishment.

It's fucking cop behavior, and I'm not gonna participate in it.

[that-antitheist]

"tma/tme" "lesboys idk if it's valid tbh..." "idk if i can accept bi lesbian:/" "transandrophobia is it real or not?" "it's not possible to be gaybian!!" "transmisogyny/transandrophobia doesn't exist" "it's bad to be an afab trans woman" WHO FUCKING CARES. ALL QUEER PEOPLE ARE OPPRESSED EVERYWHERE. WE ARE BEING KILLED EVERYWHERE. IT IS NOT THE TIME FOR KINDERGARTEN ARGUING

[illegal-dyke]

It's obvious you're a man the way you demand sexual access to women and then call them ugly when they tell you to go away

I have no interest in westerners as anything beyond comedic relief. I thought she was a pathetic weirdo, I didn't want to sleep with her tf?

[illegal-dyke]

I cant help but be curious about how the fuck this lady thinks you're taking testosterone... IN YEMEN???

These people genuinely live in another world.

'IM THE VICTIM BECAUSE THIS BUTCH WHO I TOLD TO DIE IN A HOLE AND WONT STOP MISGENDERING SAYS IM PATHETIC CLEARLY HE WANTS ME SOOOO BAD'

Not a thought in any one of their heads. Nothing but wah wah wah all the fucking time. I wonder if someone was to shake them are their brains so small to fall out of their heads?

Pathetic whiny brats.

Canon/Headcanon likelihood chart

So I've been thinking about @macdenlover 's "levels of headcanon" chart (about how heavily a HC is influenced by canon), so I decided to make my own scale about how likely a HC is to be true (including different levels of canon) using queer cartoon characters as examples :)

I just spent an hour making this because I was bored. Enjoy. Image description under the cut.

Inspiration:

macdenlover

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

ID courtesy of @hatreds-og-imagedescriptions (thank you!!)

[ID: a chart going from 10 to 1, with explanations of the ratings on the left and images of characters with queer flags and descriptions of said characters on the right.

10: "Explicit canon. Clearly stated in the original media." Trans Barney from Dead end Paranormal Park. "Barney says "I'm transgender"".

9: "Implicit canon. Never explicitly stated, but 100% canon in the original media". Nonbinary Raine from The Owl House. "Raine never says "I'm nonbinary," but uses they/them and is never referred to as a man/woman (also, confirmed by Dana)".

8: "Creator confirmation. Never stated in the original media, but confirmed canon by the media's creator". Aroace Lilith from The Owl House. "While never mentioned/implied in TOH, Dana has confirmed that Lilith is aroace".

7: "Heavily implied. Never confirmed, but likely true (either by canon evidence or creator implication)". Genderfluid Nimona from Nimona. ""Aaand now you're a boy" "I am today" (anyway, the whole movie has trans/GNC themes)".

6: "Possibly implied. Hinted at in the original media, but could be explained as something else". Trans Doofenschmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. "Doof COULD be transmasc, or the whole "raised as a girl" thing could just be for the bit".

5: "Fanon. Never confirmed, but generally accepted by the fandom". Aromantic Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. "While only confirmed to be ace, most of the fandom also sees Alastor as aromantic".

4: "HC with evidence. Headcanons supported by a dedicated fan's detective work". Bisexual Mabel from Gravity Falls. "People have noticed bi flag stickers hidden on Mabel's scrapbooks".

3: "Canon neutrality. Could be true, could be false, but overall makes sense and doesn't contradict the original media". Genderqueer Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch. "Maybe Pleakley is genderqueer, maybe he just wanted to crossdress for the mission, who knows? That's why it's a headcanon."

2: "I made it the fuck up. Based on vibes, has absolutely nothing to do with canon". Bisexual Megamind from Megamind. "No evidence, no explanation, he just has Disaster Bi™ vibes".

1: "Um? No? But go off. Directly contradicts canon (but who cares, that's why it's fun)". Trans Stanley Pines from Gravity Falls. "Even though flashback scenes prove Stan is AMAB, some people HC him as transmasc." End of ID.]

Western transmascs while dismissing your oppression under patriarchy:

Incredible priorities.

[illegal-dyke]

White people will almost never listen to a correction from people of colour. They think its 'pulling a card' and a personal attack on them

Always '"I'm the victim" with them.

[konjak-jelly]

A white person once watched me get tackled and tear a muscle. I was crying on the floor and she deadass walked up to me and asked why i was 'so mad' at her son.

[illegal-dyke]

😭

[illegal-dyke]

No transmasc is free until all transmascs are free.

Not until every single one of our siblings is born, fed and educated to the same extent as their siblings. Is allowed to remain unmarried, allowed to sing and dance and play without their voices being deemed provocative, allowed to buy their own clothes and sign their own medical documents.

You do not get to pretend we do not exist to ease your own guilt.

[imjunebitch]

yeah mom your son is dead but I'm Alive I'm Alive I'm right here. hi. I love you. could you look at me

[thicketscratches]

current state of trans discourse is like "being trans is good and being a man is bad so trans men basically don't exist because the good thing (being trans) cancels out the bad thing (being a man) and leaves you with a Nothingperson. but if the Nothingperson feels reduced by this then we can always just strip them of the good thing label and turn them into a punching bag" like holy fuck what are we doingggg

[transmasc-theory]

This is why "remember that trans men are still men" posts get made here all the time, but no one ever seems interested in "remember that trans men are still trans".

if i had a dick i would love to have a disappointing orgasm in the shower while thinking of something or someone that i felt i should not be thinking about & then stand under the water with my forehead against a wall watching the proof of my guilt & shame go down the drain

[krippe90]

The insight I get into the female mind thanks to this website is amazing.

[orpheuslament]
