MASS EFFECT 3: LEGENDARY EDITION

DON’T FUCK WITH OMEGA.

[healingpolyphony]

I feel like some people tend to treat nonhuman alters as a fun little quirky thing but it’s actually terrifying sometimes. Especially because a lot of the time the reason they perceive themselves as nonhuman is such a core part of their trauma.

[thecirculararchive]

Absolutely agreed - but I also wanna add that it’s absolutely valid to see joy in who you are, regardless of your traumatic origins.

Numb is a demonic protector. He had a lot of troubles a few years back because he was a “monster” (to some degrees, he still struggles with it). He saw himself as evil, even felt shame because he was a demon.

Now, he mostly just laughs at the jokes that he purrs when he gets chin scritches and feels good when he gets back rubs on his janky ass spine. He loves who he is, loves his weird fun quirks, because they’re him.

So yes, while it is terrifying, it’s important to find solace in who you are, trauma and all. I don’t think OP was saying that’s not a good thing, but moreso “these are two things that need to be acknowledged together,” which I absolutely agree with.

[healingpolyphony]

Oh, absolutely! I’m definitely not saying you should be ashamed of it at all, this post came off the backend of a huge wobble we had where a very traumatized alter of ours went into very, very dark place mentally yesterday related to his specific trauma, which also linked to that he’s a fallen angel inside.

Being a nonhuman alter is not a bad thing! My point was that people look at nonhuman alters and sort of go…. “Teehee, that’s so bizarre/cute/weird/funky!” which it is! Sometimes! But there’s also a reason for those alters to be the way they are, and that, in most cases, is the trauma from which they came.

Tl;dr: Infantalizing alters because they present as nonhuman isn’t a great thing 🥲 sorry for the essay!

Anyway on this blog we respect “unconventional” pronouns because they’re literally not hurting anyone and they make people comfortable in their identity

Articles I can use against truscum

[queercoded-villain]

I have got your back. Here are those damn sources

There is not enough difference in male or female brains to tell them apart

A gender-neutral pronouns other that they/them has existed since 1858, thon 

There are more than 2 genders (tons of sources in the description that if i tried to write them all here i would die of age)

“””Transtrenders””” aren’t actually transitioning and then regretting: 1  2  3 4  5 

Biological binary sex isn’t a thing: 1 2 3 4

in the wikipedia page for social construct of gender category sex and sex category the sources are 7 27 28 

He indeed is

Being trans is not a mental illness/ you don’t need dysphoria to be trans: 1  2  3  4 5 6 7 (this one is massive)  8 (also if you want a living example of a cis person with dysphoria search godflex here on tumblr, careful it’s nsfw)

From here

This might be updated in the future

Simply because the link about the gender neutral pronoun “thon” leads to a google books page (gross) in Portuguese, it may not prove particularly useful for English speakers. Instead, here’s a link to a Merriam-Webster post about it. While they don’t have links to their sources, they do include all the titles to the publications referenced, most of which are surely public domain.

We added a gender-neutral pronoun in 1934. Why have so few people heard of it?

'Thon' was a singular, gender-neutral pronoun in our Unabridged dictionary. Until it wasn't.

In addition, if “thon” (or “þon,” for any literary nerds) doesn’t suit you, here is a list of proposed gender neutral pronouns regardless of whether or not they have seen usage.

It even has usage notes! Please DM me if the links don’t work.

Hey there! A long time ago I asked an anon question about gender identity confusion stuff and I just wanted to say thank you for your answer to it. You were so kind and understanding, I actually bookmarked the ask and come back to it now and then. It's been years. But you really helped me feel more comfortable to explore at my own pace who I was and what my gender meant to me. So thank you for being kind and supportive. :)

💜💜💜 I am so glad I was able to help. May you find all kinds of happiness and gender euphoria on your journey.

Tweet transcript:

White people - when you ask POC questions, I wish you’d ask less “is it ok if I [do a certain thing]?” and more “what are your thoughts on [certain thing]?”

The first makes me uncomfortable bc you’re demanding a clear Yes/No that no single POC has the right to give.

It puts the burden on ME to repeat for the countless time that we are not a monolith and others may feel differently before giving my opinion and even then, I worry that you might take my answer and run with it bc I’m not sure you’re conceptualising our individual diversity.

But if you ask “what are YOUR thoughts?” instead, it shows me you’re aware that you’re getting the opinion of a single person and you’re not expecting me to speak for a whole group of people. Only then do I feel safe giving my thoughts.

Ultimately, you need to focus on listening respectfully and seeking out perspectives from a variety of POC instead of trying to get a magic Permission Pass on whether you can do [certain thing]. I mean, the final judgement on whether to act is YOURS to make.

ALSO it is very transparent when you’re more concerned about Not Getting Cancelled than listening to POC our of respect... like seriously can stop acting like we’re coercing you or making your life difficult just because we have opinions 😩
