For Those Saying Tootsie is Transphobic

A few months back, while Tootsie was Off-Broadway in Chicago, I went to go watch it. While I’ll try not to spoil anything, I’m here to say that this new musical production is NOT transphobic. Tootsie is simply the story of a stubborn actor who lied his way to fame. Throughout no part in the production was there even a single mention of transgender people nor the transgender community. Not one drop of hate was directed at the community. The main character, Micheal Dorsey crossdresses in order to get an audition. The only negative reactions from the other characters to this are being weirded out and betrayal, not out of shame for gender expression, but instead from actually being betrayed and lied to by Micheal. The theme of the musical is “lies may help you now but can harm you later”. The new production was NEVER intended to be transphobic. If one piece of merch happened to be interpreted as that and they apologized and took it down, they care about their audience and listen to them. They’re not about to wave around and draw attention to that piece of merch just for the attention. They respectfully took it down after listening to their audience, which is a proper and mature way to handle the situation. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

captain marvel is a reflection of the female experience. having a mentor telling you that you are only there because he allows it, that you have to control your emotions and that “what is giving can be taken away” is a female experience. seeing Carol setting herself free from that man and discovering that not only he was lying, but that he was restraining her because he knew that she was stronger than him is so fucking powerful to women because we can relate to it on a deep level

so I don’t give a shit if men can’t relate to captain marvel. this movie isn’t for you.

[ranngl]

Happens with women mentors, too.

reminder to myself about the process of drafting & revising:

first drafts are for making it exist

second drafts are for making it functional

third drafts are for making it effective

[pippastrelle]

This is the most important thing I’ve learnt in writing my novel. Have fun the first time but know your first pass isn’t going to be perfect

[therkalexander]

Ditto. And I tell this to everyone, please read the Ann Lamott essay “Shitty First Drafts”. Saved my life.
