Hi hello, people today I bring you fem!wangxian because :women (me like)

Design notes:

I saw some really pretty blue and white hanfu dresses ? On pinterest and was like : yeah this is fem lan wangji, so i drew it. I feel like lan wangji is the type to prefer fancy clothing while wei wuxian doesn't care much about fashions. Which is why it tried changing wei WuXian’s outfit a bit but yeah, it didn't change much.

desegregate all sports now. no more gendered sports. its stupid

if you absolutely must, in primarily muscle force-based sports, create competitive classes like in boxing except separated by body comp, not just pure body weight. i mean, if you must. this will eliminate any tiny advantages in muscle mass. some will say basketball should have height classes but frankly some of the NBA's most impressive players were not tall so idk that this actually matters ever

the primary athletic impediment to all women is overwhelmingly cultural and psychological. i have won probably half the physical competitions with cis men that i have engaged in, friendly or otherwise. even without the benefit of a lifetime of people trying to make me throw or hit balls, i have won wrestling matches, sparring matches, funny backyard foam sword fights, video games, equestrian activities, dance, endurance tests of various kinds, etc. i'm small and weak. men think theyre stronger and more skilled than they are, women think the opposite about themselves

humans just arent that differently-sized or -shaped, as a species. we have almost no sexual dimorphism at all compared to the vast majority of other mammals.

animals that have similar levels of sexual dimorphism to humans, for example cats, dogs, and horses, do not generally have competitive events segregated by sex. the dog agility trials dont normally have separate leagues for male and female dogs (gendered competitions exist they're just unusual). because it doesnt matter. there is no kentucky derby 2 just for girl horses. thats not a thing

remove all gendered categories from online shopping websites and universalize clothing and shoe sizing. im sick of having to search two entirely different sections of ebay when im just trying to find a nice velvet loafer in size 39 EU. what the hell is "women's clothing"

“I know that if women wish to escape the stigma of husband-seeking, they must act and look like marble or clay - cold, expressionless, bloodless; for every appearance of feeling, of joy, sorrow, friendliness, antipathy, admiration, disgust, are alike construed by the world into the attempt to hook a husband. Never mind! well-meaning women have their own consciences to comfort them after all. Do not, therefore, be too much afraid of showing yourself as you are, affectionate and good-heartened; do not too harshly repress sentiments and feelings excellent in themselves, because you fear that some puppy may fancy that you are letting them come out to fascinate him; do not condemn yourself to live only by halves, because if you showed too much animation some pragmatical thing in breeches might take it into his pate to imagine that you designed to dedicate your life to his inanity.”

— Charlotte Brontë writing to a friend who had been kind to a man she thought was married, only to have him fall in love with her because he thought she was flirting (letter dated April 2, 1845).

fun fact: debates about if being transgender is a choice or not are irrelevant, because the fundamental truth is of bodily autonomy - a right that should never be seen as conditional or requiring a suitable, immutable condition.

people who are trans deserve the right to transition, not because it’s a medical treatment or because dysphoria can be classified as a mental illness but because we’re human beings who should be allowed to do whatever the fuck we want to our own bodies! this is a basic human right!

not our design, but we found it on Wikipedia of all places many years ago. can't seem to find the original page anymore though.

men and women are literally the same but unfortunately everyone's crazy so we are forced to pretend they're different in some ways.

[transsexualtestified-deactivate]

your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for a graduate degree

[chloebangbang]

they can roll it back all they want, but banning dozens of transfems in the space of minutes isn't a thing that can just happen on accident

[chloebangbang]

"for any reason, or none at all" might technically be a thing that is in the tos, almost every service has a line like that to cover their asses, but to actually levee that as a stated reason for a specific banning is fucking. wild??? if nothing else just WILDLY bad pr. and in conjunction with everything else about the bannings, pretty fucking damning imo!!!

[unstatedmartini]

also, as someone who isn't an artist or content creator, this also completely breaks how i use the site. i open the reblogs on basically every post that interests me - just to see what people are saying, laugh or roll my eyes or enjoy the collective freakout, find people whose contributions stand out enough for me to follow them (or block them), get a sense of the conversation around topics of note, etc. i have zero interest in just watching posts roll by with few visible notes. this destroys the engagement and community experience even for 'passive' users

[wellnoe]

something i find very obnoxious in fiction is when a story presents us with a society of structural misogyny and decides it wants to deal with misogyny within its text but can't commit to exploring the precarity of heterosexual relationships within that system. so you end up with these relationships where these feminist or proto-feminist women end up happily ensconced within the heterosexual marriage and its like fine and they don't have any complicated feelings about it bc their husbands like them and are nice guys. which like. does nothing to counter the insane societal issues faced by these women and also insultingly implies that happiness and self-actualization can only be found for these women within the safe harbor created by a graciously tolerant man. this post is about bridgerton and also jujutsu kaisen fanfic.

[wellnoe]

most annoying response to this post is people asking who is reading m/f jujutsu kaisen fanfic. me, obviously, which is why i made a post about it.

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

[changes]

It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.

As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.

Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.

If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.

[guiltrose-deactivated20180203]

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

we almost normalized women armpit hair so now can we work on normalizing a little bit of bush showing around the edges of your swimsuit

its v funny to me to see ppl complaining abt gen z because most of the time its just pointing out problems that were already there and have been exacerbated in the last couple of years, or genuinely new problems that are a result of growing up in a different time. and in either of those cases you want me to think that you care, but your first response is starting a pissing competition abt generations. how the fuck is that useful

[baeckerei]

bridgerton is so scary. one by one the siblings are fetched away off into "their happy ending" only to turn into non-characters bearing innumerable children in the background of someone elses story. its like a zombie movie

[omtai]

Im sorry I didn’t reply to your message for three weeks. I did not forget about it infact I thought about it regularly every day. It will happen again
