Permitted Vermin

Finally got back on tumblr. Probably going to post toy photography and art (She/Her/It/Its) Trans girl, adult

[sleepcollective]

Comic we made about our syscovery omg

More under the cut

Even if some of us are still in denial, we wouldn't want it any other way.

Don't think I need to say this but ofc some of us are more vivid and distinct than others, but really, so many of us are subtle in the way we present. We also didnt draw aaalll of us at the end, too lazy to draw all of us lmao. Way too many.

🐦 is the usual front. She’s a bit more reserved. I’m her, mostly. Does NOT like to give up the drivers seat, and will fight a switch if they feel it coming on. Getting better about it

🐺 (they/them)- an asshole (their own words.) backseat driver unless they’re front. They are extroverted, protective, way more daring than 🐦, but a lot meaner. Usually comes out when 🐦 is tired or stressed.

🍄‍🟫- unsure if they’re 🐺, just angrier, or another headmate all together. Pretty much just anger and fangs and bite. Rot and earth and death and hellfire.

🌸 (she/her)- Shy, quiet, likes to play toys. Does not like to be in front and is pretty content to watch.

A comic I did about wishing I could just go to sleep and see everyone

Is it weird that I know so many trans girls who are plural systems? Who are either coming out now or (re?) discovering their own plurality?

Anyways, I have an unrelated announcement.

Beepy, My TADC OC

Everyone else was doing it so I made one

Beepy, she/her/it/its. She’s based off of old wind up robot toys from the 50’s and 60’s. Ambulates using a beach ball monowheel attached to a spring. Kind of hates having huge clunky claw hands because she worked with her hands in the real world but eventually learns to adapt. Her chest is a mix between an old radio and a jukebox. The clear glass panel on her chest can sometimes display different things depending on the gag, but usually just shows a frosted view of her innards- but since Caine is working with limited knowledge, the innards are just random gears and Doohickeys. She has a slight autotune to her voice. She was hired as a janitor at the tech firm that acquired C&A after they were shut down, and spends a lot of her time with the old C&A equipment, including the headset. She originally wanted to work in Hollywood, but had to go back home after losing half of everything in a messy divorce.

Yes, some disabilities are dynamic, and most of us in the disability community know this. However many people aren’t aware of just how dynamic some conditions can be.

A person can go from no symptoms at all to being profoundly debilitated all in one day.

Some have baseline symptoms so low and flares so high, that things can go from 1 to 10 very quickly.

I know it can seem impossible that some people’s disabilities fluctuate with such extreme variability, but this is a real phenomenon that people deal with.

i've been experiencing it more like trying to get work done but your shitty friend is on voice call and won't stop giving pointers you didn't ask for. but like. inside my brain

[demilypyro]

that's. not the worst description.

[permittedvermin]

I’m in a car and the steering wheel is my “front” and whoever’s in charge is in the driver’s seat while I can see through the windows and am mostly aware of what’s going on. And then when I get back up front, sometimes there are notes on the dashboard so I kinda have context on who was doing what. And sometimes the option is there to yank at the steering wheel if something happens, though that’s really not recommended

how it feels to message a friend who's having Problems that you can't do anything to help with.

Male socialization is such an evil rhetoric. Yeah I guess not transitioning at the age of 5 is my fault and I'm evil for it. Yeah I guess not having the childhood I wish I did means I'm a danger and I should perpetually apologize for it

[zedogica]

"The fact that socialization is a specious argument became obvious to me during an exchange I had with a trans-woman-exclusionist who insisted that my being raised male was the sole reason in her mind for me to be disqualified from entering women-only spaces. So I asked her if she was open to allowing trans women who are anatomically male but who have been socialized female — something that’s not all that uncommon for MTF children these days. She admitted to having concerns about their attending. Then, I asked how she would feel about a person who was born female yet raised male against her will, and who, after a lifetime of pretending to be male in order to survive, finally reclaimed her female identity upon reaching adulthood. After being confronted with this scenario, the woman conceded that she would be inclined to let this person enter women-only space, thus demonstrating that her argument about male socialization was really an argument about biology after all. In fact, after being pressed a bit further, she admitted that the scenario of a young girl who was forced against her will into boyhood made her realize how traumatic and dehumanizing male socialization could be for someone who was female-identified. This, of course, is exactly how many trans women experience their own childhoods."

I just felt butt mogged but saw no one

very strange cottage industry on youtube of giving exhaustive "critiques" of harry potter that amount to things like "the magic school is dangerous and that's bad!!!" and treating that with equal severity as the fatphobia or the slavery apologia, then patting themselves on the back as if this amounts to some kind of praxis

cinemasins is not praxis lol. how about materially supporting and protecting trans people from joanne and forgetting about her wizard books

[mousidy]

I loved harry potter growing up. it made me feel seen as an abused and closeted kid. I idolized and looked up to joanne, wanting to become an author like her

then she started funnelling all her wizard book money into destroying the rights of my people and I resolved not to give her any more of my money

I didn't have to reevaluate the quality of her writing to do this. whether she's good at keeping her worldbuilding consistent or whatever has nothing to do with my decision to boycott her work. who cares how good or bad her writing is. she's killing trans people

[jayalaw]

OP, you get it. This is exactly the problem.

[pfeffaroo]

Don't worry, no one in our family is [REDACTED]

My headcanon is that Eridian names are based on their life, history and accomplishments and every new thing they do gets added to the song, which is why Adrian’s name is so long and dramatic when Rocky says it, and why Grace’s is just a single short note. It’s just because Rocky hasn’t known him that long, but I bet that by the time they get to Erid, Rocky is introducing his leaky space blob with an entire song.
