probably something to tease out of the relationship between trans people and the doctors who practice considering the history that the first trans woman to have ever had vaginoplasty was likely killed during the nazi burning of the Institute, while the surgeon who performed the first vaginoplasty went on to be the surgery consultant for the head of the Hitler Youth, Wehrmacht, and eventually the surgery head of a hospital known for human experimentation on the mentally ill and imprisoned (and later was involved with administration for both Soviet and British Berlin)

i think that white cis gay people (esp. but not exclusively men) were actually situated in a completely idiosyncratic way that was advantageous for them to have a very particular relationship with television/film media and i’m pretty sure it’s something that basically can not be replicated w most other demographics so it doesn’t make sense to like try to use that as a template

i’m going to take a moment to deviate from my usual posts, so bear with me: the actress starring in the 2020 Mulan remake, Liu Yifei, has just voiced her support for the Hong Kong police. these are the police who have been brutalizing protestors for several months now with batons, tear gas, and rubber bullets, and recently blinded a young medic in one eye. Liu has a social media platform of 65 million followers, and has been in the national spotlight since her casting - her words have influence and impact. her conscious decision to stand by the HK police sends a clear message: that violence against civilians is acceptable as a means of control, intimidation, and suppression.

this breaks my heart. as a person of Chinese descent, Mulan’s character was a source of inspiration and empowerment throughout my childhood, and I’m sure I wasn’t alone in my excitement to see the remake, but I’m even more saddened and disgusted by Liu Yifei’s support of the police. note that Liu is a naturalized American citizen, and reaps the benefits of freedom and democracy in the US while supporting those who are fighting to silence it in China.

if Mulan were real and here now, she would be out on the streets of Hong Kong, fighting for the fundamental rights of 7 million Hong Kong citizens. please, please, please consider boycotting this movie. skip it, pirate it, do what you need to do, but show that you won’t stand for police brutality.

i’m just a regular person on the internet with a pornography obsession so significant that it is impossible even for strangers not to notice. however, i’m normal. don’t mind the orgasming cartoon woman i have as my profile pic – it’s just her head so it is OK. let’s talk about something normal, i expect you to be able to ignore all this

Sad I have to write this out, but abuse and trauma have zero benefits to anyone’s life. You can learn anything the kind way. You can become anyone the kind way. There is no reason whatsoever to traumatize you. Everything can be done without abuse.
