Proper Blog Introduction

Hello, and welcome to Redtail's ramblings and occasional coinings! Enjoy your stay.

Free Help for Palestine - A communal document created by me and editable by everyone for finding free ways to help Palestine! Mostly composed of petitions at the moment. If you can't donate or just want more ways to help Palestine it's very helpful.

About Me and the Blog:

I mostly will be coining orientations instead of genders because there are so many genders and the orientation market is low, and will mostly be coining labels that apply to me. However, I am willing to coin labels that don't apply to me. Please feel free to ask, and if I'm uncomfortable, I will just deny it.

Some posts aren't centered around me coining so sorry for any clutter

I am a perisex bigendermeld girl + enby and I use she/they pronouns

I have a label collection/hoard of 300+ that I loving named The Boxfort Palace. I may start a third blog just for my hoard. Or I may just keep it on the doc

Some of my important identities are asexual (fully, absolutely no sexual attraction), cupiosexual, demiromantic, lunian/mspec lesbian, bi lesbian, poly lesbian, and omni lesbian, and I specifically use full-moon springtide versions of all these labels. I do not identify as an mspec mono because there is nothing monoromantic about my lesbian attraction. I don't have an issue with the mspec mono label existing but I don't think it applies to me.

This blog supports aspec people, xenogenders, mspec gays/lesbians, gaybians, mspec hets, gayhets/straightbians and lesboys/turigirls. I am an mspec lesbian and ace.

This blog is NOT anti-paraphilia. I believe people with genuinely harmful and nonconsensual paras need access to help and support, and aren't inherently evil. I also believe paraphilias that are strange but not harmful or nonconsensual are fine. Do what makes you happy. Pro-contact harmful paraphilias, this is NOT about you. Please seek help and do not abuse.

I am Crit-Inclus and seek to understand people before I fully accept them. If I ask you questions about your identity, I mean no disrespect

I am predominantly white and am not comfortable with making things specifically for any POC because it does not feel like my place. If my blog grows big and people want to use my blog for visibility, post on your own blog and I will reblog it.

Because I am perisex I will not coin intersex specific terms, though you may ask for flag design help and reblogs for visibility

I am autistic and self diagnosed, I haven't updated this in a while but I've given up on not saying I'm autistic without diagnosis a long time ago, lmao. I got 153 on my most recent RAADS-R taking I def have autism

Still anti ABA and anti autism speaks fuck those guys

This blog is anti Boeing we hate Boeing in this household (if you're confused ask me about the 737 MAX I'll go on for hours)

I am a singlet so I'm not gonna do system specific labels. I will reblog system labels upon request

I do NOT coin radqueer identities. Radqueers can request non-radqueer identities because there's no reason to say you can't request something because of a belief. Even if it's harmful it's none of my business I'm the coiner. But I am anti-rq so you choose if you want me making the term

You may ask me to coin anything you would like if it isn't on here. It is my decision if I do it.

I am an adult, but the blog is safe for older minors

People in my DNI are allowed to use my flags and labels. I don't believe in gatekeeping who's allowed to use a term based on personal beliefs and opinions. I just don't wish to have personal interactions with you guys. It's up to you if you want to use flags made by an mspec lesbian who accepts xenogenders, lesboys/turigirls and the like, gaybians, and other complex contradictory identities.

I would appreciate if everyone who follows me can like, reblog, or comment on a post before or shortly after following. This is to make sure I don't follow back porn accounts that won't read this. I might block people who do not follow this rule because I will assume you are a porn account that just wants to send me spam links, especially if you're a blank blog.

Free Palestine. Fuck Isreal.

DNI:

Pedophiles (I'm not calling you MAPs.) Whether you're non-offending or not, please just don't interact with me. I support you guys getting the help you need but as a minor I think it's best we don't interact beyond maybe some likes and a request or two. I'm still too close to being a kid

Anyone who is going to start discourse. I don't care if you're proship, antiship, exclus, radinclus, radqueer, or anything. Don't start discourse. You can only continue discourse that I start. You can use my terms if they apply to you, like my stuff, reblog it, and comment, as long as you aren't starting an argument.

Solicitors looking to promote any sexual services. I am asexual, leave me alone. I don't want your porn. I will bodyshame you.

Anybody looking to e-date. I'm arospec, specifically demiromantic, so approaching me with romantic intent means you'll have to wait for something that'll never happen.

DO NOT FOLLOW:

Queerphobic people

Racists/ALM/Anti-BLM.

Sexists/anti feminists

Radfems (you aren't real feminists, you're misandrists, AND you're misogynists, all at once)

Zionists/Pro-Israel

People who believe in transmisogyny but not transmisandry/transandrophobia

People who believe trans men hold any significant power over cis women or over trans women

Idiots who think only transfems can use the tr slur

People who think femboy is a slur or is about transfems. There is a 0% difference between calling a transfem a femboy and calling a transfem a boy. Femboy is an identity. It's entitled to think trans women can dictate what men identify as based on the bigotrd actions of others weaponizing gnc men's identities to misgender others.

Exclusionists (including mspec lesbian/gay/enbian exclus, lesboy and turigirl exclus, and gaybian exclus.)

Incels of any type. This doesn't refer to anybody who just hasn't lost their virginity yet, but specifically the kind of people who hold it against the people they're attracted to. This is usually straight men and incels are often a misogynistic hate group.

Radqueer/transx/transid and supporters

Anti-contact non-harmful, consensual paras

I follow people back blindly so please don't follow me if I'm going to have to see gross things on the feed.

Some reminders for pride month

>> "you don't need HRT/top surgery/bottom surgery/to bind/etc to be trans" means "if this disinterests you, or if you currently don't have access to it, that doesn't invalidate your identity, you are allowed to be part of the community." Telling trans people that have dysphoria and actively want these things that they don't have to is telling them not to transition. It's transphobic.

>> "asexual people can still have sex" means sex favorable asexual people exist, and for some people we have desire without any attraction whatsoever (it can also mean the broader spectrum of asexuality but usually people are talking about completely asexual people). It doesn't mean every asexual person is okay with having sex. It doesn't mean it's okay to pressure an asexual person to have sex if they're sex averse or sex indifferent because "you'll still be valid." It doesn't mean every asexual should have sex "for their partner." You are pressuring ace people to conform as much as they can to allosexuality and that is acephobia.

>> "aromantic people can still date" means much the same, some aromantic people want relationships even if they don't feel the same attraction, and sometimes it's referring to the whole arospec. Also, it sometimes refers to nonromantic relationships. It doesn't mean you can pressure aromantic people into relationships that they're not interested in. It doesn't mean they ought to date. You're arophobic if you don't accept aromanticism when it's more in your face and too "weird" (even though I'm sure most of the people saying this would never date a cupioromantic cause they'd find their lack of romantic attraction to them sad, and would probably guilt trip them, so they don't even really accept cupioromantics)

>> you're a bigot if you take statements meant to encourage inclusion and turn them into weapons to try and encourage whole communities to conform more because they'd still be "valid." Sure everyone is valid but validity isn't the goal for everyone. Some of these things are part of or caused by those identities for a lot of people and they are necessary to be happy.

After some years of HRT I've been left with this deep, low simmering rage. Because what do you mean it was always this easy to be happy

catboybiologist

I take a shot once a week, and even if that was too much, I could do it as pills, and so many of my problems just evaporated overnight.

And not one person thought to bring it up.

When I was talking about how horrifying puberty felt. When I was cutting myself. When I was in inpatient care. When I attempted suicide. When I talked for YEARS in therapy about how dissociated and trapped I felt in my body. When I felt like I never truly fixed something that was deeply wrong about me that started at puberty.

Not one person said it was a possibility. No one thought "hey, maybe this kid should go to someone trained to identify dysphoria". No one mentioned that trans people weren't some weird other group of people. It didn't have to be pressure. It didn't have to be "forcing" me. Just mentioning that trans people exist and it could be me. That it was possible and it was easy. No pushing, just laying the option out there.

HRT is treated like this last ditch option. This horrific, mutilating thing that I GUESS we can give to you if you have NO OTHER options. Because did you know it's permanent? Did you know you'll be on it for the rest of your life? Did you know the health risks? Did you know it'll make you infertile? Did you know that it's deviant? Did you know that it's an alternative lifestyle for other people?

No one said it was okay to WANT it to be permanent. Or noted that most people are reliant on the medical system in one way or the other anyways (and it's not even necessary for HRT). Or that the health risks are the normal parts of having that hormone, even in cis people of your gender. Or said it was okay to not want kids, or mention that you can just freeze gametes. Or acknowledged that the "deviant" people are just people, living their lives, that have been violently pushed out of "normal" society.

I grew up in an area that Republicans mock for being a kind of "woke central". And even then it's just. Not treated as an easy option. It was never on the table if you don't specifically already know you're going through gender stuff, and no one will help you get to that point. At which point, it's still treated like the last ditch option. Did you know you can be a feminine man? Did you know you can slap a "she/her" in your twitter bio and be done with it? Did you know that you're oh-so-valid without it? Did you know that you shouldn't take HRT? Maybe don't take HRT? Don't take HRT? Don't take HRT? Don't ta-

When you've been in it a while, HRT is the easiest, most casual thing in the world. Just pop a shot on a Saturday as part of your "everything shower" routine and you're done.

Anyways. Support trans kids always and forever.

catboybiologist

And if anyone comes swinging in here with "but Sierra you don't have to take HRT to be trans this is toxic" I'm going to fucking scream, because that is the status quo. "Just do this without doing this" has become a "give them an inch" refrain when making ourselves "acceptable" to the cis. Of COURSE you don't need to take HRT. I'm only reminded of it a dozen times a day.

#trans people are not required to take HRT to be valid but that's very obviously Not what this post is about #if it's not obvious enough. they were clearly lambasting not the idea itself but how it's applied to people who DO need/want it #“you don't need x to be trans” is one of many inclusive phrases that once it caught on got used by the masses in the wrong ways #used to mean “if you don't want to or can't take hrt or [other action] you can still identify as trans. you're valid”#now people use it to like encourage trans people not to transition even if they absolutely want to #if you have dysphoria like this YOU NEED HRT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT #not as a prerequisite to identifying as trans or to prove your validity but to be happy #if you're trans and don't want to take hrt or currently can't your enemy isn't catboybiologist it's transphobes who use inclusive phrases #to encourage other trans people to do things that are detrimental to them. it's bigots who use you as an excuse to hurt your community #you should tell them to stfu and not misuse your inclusion like that. and to actually understand what the phrase means #cause they got it backwards #everyone is valid with or without hrt. everyone is valid with or without any procedures. some people need them to be happy though #not everything is done for validity. many trans people absolutely must transition or they won't want to live

Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who was murdered on the first day of Pride month as well as Indigenous History Month. He died protecting his trans husband. Homophobia and racism aren’t marks of the past, and this is a heart breaking reminder of that.

Praying for a safe journey back to the spirit world, Uncle ❤️‍🩹🦅

Today is the anniversary of the death of Jonathan Joss (King of the Hill, Parks and Rec). Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who died protecting his transgender husband, on the first day of Pride month. Today we remember him and how he protected his family.

The likelihood that trans women who act like radfems and endorse that kind of ideology are doing so due to “male socialization” is negligible. Plenty of cis women are radfems or similar. Women sometimes have shit opinions. This has a lot to do with them being human and very like to do with any [assumed] proximity to “maleness”

You don’t have up agree with every trans woman about everything, but you shouldn’t bring out the transphobic rhetoric just because you disagree with a trans woman. That’s just gross and wrong.

It’s worth calling out this behavior even if someone is on your “side” in whatever other discussion might be happening.

redtail-lol

It's probably actually for the same exact reasons cis radfems exist. There is real oppression and pain that leads to women and girls turning towards ideologies that are extreme, yet oh so validating to the way they've been feeling wronged.

It's not just transphobic rhetoric but is an active denial of transfem oppression to blame it on "male socialization" - to call it a result of privilege, much as incel ideology is a result of privilege breeding entitlement and the unfulfilled entitlement breeding hate. It's anything but. As much as I dislike trans radfems and the things they say, it is so, so obviously coming from a place of pain and actual genuine mistreatment of trans women. It's not a result of them living the begining of their lives as boys and men. It's the result of how they've been treated after transitioning. Pretending otherwise is extremely short sighted, factually incorrect, and further isolates and radicalize transfems into believing nobody can understand or acknowledge their oppression except other transfems. You are never going to convince them that your position is not hostile to them and that you do in fact care about them when you say things that blatantly contradict the lives they've lived.

Misogyny created radfems. Transmisogyny and anti transfemininity created trans radfems. Do not deny this. Especially don't deny it in favor of TERF rhetoric

#also you are being counterintuitive to your own community and identity when you equate manhood with evil #“male socialization makes you more susceptible to being a vile person unlike my pure female socialization” YOU are a TERF bro #manhood and maleness are neutral things that do not shape your morality. transmascs of all people ought to know this #only difference between these TERFs and TIRFS is one group thinks the evilness of the male comes from the body #and one thinks it comes from the brain #but guys. it's not. there is nothing innately evil about any men #that includes cis men too #trans men you will never benefit from linking a small group of trans women being bad people with the fact they were AMAB #you will NEVER EVER benefit from conceding that there is any evil innate to maleness itself in anyway even if you say “#“oh but it only affects people AMAB not me”#especially socialization like ok are you gonna turn evil if people treat you like a man? no didn't think so #it doesn't work that way #(lowkey it's true for trans women too but this post is about calling out anti transfemininity so I won't say much abt that)

ok i would like to clarify it has to be music and it can't just be a short song that's been looped a bunch. that still counts as several songs in one file, it's just several of the same song in one file. no audiobooks no podcasts no plants vs zombies theme 2 hour loop

#my dad's song Rhythm of the Train is 8:51 #I'm certain that is the longest one #thing is it's kinda two songs but also kinda not #it's like a song with two halves #they don't feel all that connected but they have always been on the same audio file and there is a specific transition between them #they are not easily separated #unless you're singing it acapella #also I think they're together for some artistic purpose #so it's one song with two very distinct halves

Non-binary people can't use they/them because they're only one person. Non-binary people can't use it/its because it's dehumanizing. Non-binary people can't use neopronouns because they're too confusing. Non-binary people can't use he/him and/or she/her because that's not gender neutral. Non-binary people can't use no pronouns because that's too hard to use.

No matter what pronouns a non-binary person uses somebody will get mad at them.

#bigots always have these seeming contradictions but to them it's not contradictory at all #because the pronouns are only the one aspect. only one part they can make fun of in their ultimate goal of “pointing out why being nonbinary #is stupid”#it's no contradiction to them because leaving no satisfactory solutions in which nb people exist is the point #they don't want there to be any nonbinary people at all

i love explaining the etymology of the word "rickroll" because the story starts with "ok, so at one point 4chan applied a filter to everyone's posts that changed the word egg to duck"

grandfather....

PSA:

Acetaminophen/paracetamol has a hard stop upper dose limit, above which it becomes extremely toxic.

That limit is 4g (8 “extra strength” (500mg) tablets) in 24 hours (about 2 tablets every 6 hours).

A single dose of 22 extra strength tablets can kill you.

Taking 12 or more tablets per day for more than a week can also kill you (this is about 3 tablets every 6 hours).

Symptoms of overdose take up to 24 hours to manifest, and are fairly difficult to distinguish from other problems. They include abdominal pain (especially right upper quadrant), nausea, malaise, and confusion.

The antidote (n-acetylcystine) must be given within 8hours of ingestion in order to be useful.

After 10 hours the only thing that will work is a liver transplant.

You might think “why would I ever accidentally take so much?”

Well, acetaminophen is in almost everything in the cold/flu/pain aisle. Migraine combos like Excedrin, cold and flu combos like NyQuil, basically anything that says “non-aspirin pain relief”, and anything that’s branded as a fever reducer. It’s all probably acetaminophen/paracetamol.

So the goal of this post is to get you to read the labels on your medications. Because taking taking Tylenol and NyQuil together for a week (like you might if you had the flu) could kill you.

fleetingruin

Please don't forget this shit, after it happened to a family member, he died 8 years later because of the continuing health complications even though he survived the initial overdose

cakeisnotpie

I didn't know this for years, and I took so many pills, sometimes 4 at one go, every four hours, like 16 a day, because of endometriosis and migraines. It took a migraine specialist to explain rebound headaches and overdoses when I was in my 40s. Then I went cold turkey on all OTC drugs to get off the cycle. Please, please, if a couple tylenol aren't working for you, talk to your doctor or find one who will listen to you if you can.

transcyberism

and OP mentioned both names, but I'm highlighting it again: when you travel internationally, this compound has different names. in the US it is called acetaminophen, while in Europe and elsewhere it is called paracetamol. Pharmacists often use the abbreviation "APAP" which is short for its IUPAC name, N-acetyl-p-aminophenol. They are the same compound. If a product says "do not take with products containing paracetamol," check the labels of other products not just for "paracetamol" but also for "acetaminophen."

daggers-drawn

All it means when people say “you’re speaking from a place of privilege” is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.

mrloveballad

^^^^^^ read it. say it out loud. keep repeating it until you understand.

#is this a good place to bring up that I think the moralization of suffering and victimhood is a pervasive issue in our culture?#even I'm struggling with fully separating it if I don't think about it but like #there's a very black and white thinking that's common #if perpetrators are evil and bad people then their victims must therefore be good #which leads to the idea that being oppressed = victim = good person #and so therefore privilege = bad evil person #this sorta thing leads to lots of stuff that's not relevant to this post but what is relevant is this #it makes it really hard to get people to accept and acknowledge their privilege because it feels like they are admitting to being a Bad Guy #and they don't want to be

existennialmemes

The crux of the anti trans movement is a war on bodily autonomy. They don't want you to have any agency over what you look like, how you dress, who you date, whether to have kids, etc.

They want total control over you. Not just trans people. Not just queer people. You. Everyone.

Trans people are just a scapegoat. They want total control over everyone's self expression. They want the right to mold you into their perfect little cog in their dehumanizing machine.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Our rights are your rights. Our destruction is your destruction.

Me: "Damn people are REALLY BAD at knowing when to tag their eyestrain art/images...either that or they just don't care about photosenitive epileptic people like me. I feel really sad now." Person: "But Allison, what if they just don't know or understand what qualifies as eyestrain and what doesn't?" Me: "You know what? That could be a factor...While it is always better to be safe rather than sorry (so YES people should always tag eyestrain even if they're unsure if it "counts" or not) maybe you've got a point?"

Anyways! HERE'S YOUR HANDY GUIDE TO WHAT CAN COUNT AS EYESTRAIN! I'm pulling this straight from the Artfight rules page about what needs to be labeled and filtered as eyestrain because it's VERY helpful and VERY accurate! I also know not everybody has an AF account and might not always have access to this handy guide, and this is an important resource; That's why I'm sharing it here! (under the cut)

PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS!!!

by the way this is medical. this could save somebody from a migraine all the way to a seizure. this has always been serious. treat this seriously.
