A ship — a magnificent ship — full of gay men. And me.

I am furious, but I am sailing.

I usually hate romance but god The Other Bennet Sister is maybe one of the best TV shows I've ever seen. Jane Austen would be very proud

I often get a sinking feeling in the pit of my chest when I watch period pieces because I imagine if I was born then life would be miserable for me. But Mary is a modern woman wanting a life full of friendship and education, and love if it happens but she is ready to be content if it isn't

The women in this show are flawed and often uphold the pressures of society they live in, but through Mary's eyes you get to see each woman in the show through grace- see their anxiety and fears, see why they are the way they are. They don't fight for a man because that's what women do, they fight for a man because they are scared of starving with no one to take care of them. Mother's don't plot to find matches for their children because they hate their daughters, they do it because they do not want their daughters to starve.

The men in the show have big ideas about what the world and marriage should be, but they fail to see how it would affect the women in their lives. Her father doesn't care about finding matches for his daughters, at first we think this is progressive until you realize they may starve once he's gone. Ryder doesn't care for marriage but wants instead to have a romantic trist across Italy, and doesn't consider how the woman he does that with would be scorned.

Mary is a modern woman making modern friends and making her own way in the world, she's not perfect, but she's kind and considerate- and strong

I love that Tom confesses the moment he fell in love with Mary was when he caught her playing graces.

It seems like such a mundane moment when compared to other early interactions between the two, such as when they danced together at the ball, or when Tom witnessed Mary win the riddles night. (Though I know these came after).

Tom witnessing, for the first time, Mary’s unapologetic brand of sincere curiosity, having only seen her be somewhat reserved and unsure of herself prior. There’s an admission of vulnerability to Mary’s actions in this scene; she really did want to be included in the previous game of graces, but truly didn’t know how to be part of it. And this inadvertent admission is what makes Tom realise he’s done for.

I think that’s pretty neat.

Something something Erid is a high-pressure, no light planet with liquid water and bioluminescent, lure-based, energy efficient ocean creatures could develop; something something Eridians have close to no spatial memory and therefore worse scale? memory; something something Eridians are the apex land predator specifically.

(All that, and I forgot the suit. Ah well. Point is, they deserve a buddy comedy ending.)

white t girl i love you. and also do not forget that you are not the modern martyr for the oppressed voice. that's still black girls. it's always been black girls. stories of black martyrdom simply don't make it into the news cycle until the unrest caused by its reporting can be packaged as a "riot" segment between traffic reports. i know you suffer, but whatever you're experiencing, i beg you, when interacting with your community and building nuanced understandings of each other and the system which binds us, to not forget that a black tgirl has felt it 100 times worse before positioning yourself as an authority on all systems of oppression for having suffered unjustly at all. because you have suffered unjustly, but suffering unjustly as a white person means something so much different.

serenely reblogging this once more after deleting responses from white people saying "talking about this is actually unhelpful because im oppressed too" yeah i know. i wrote that down in the post i made, and i also wrote down why remembering the difference is important. did you read it?

there is no malice in my reminder. no "you need to do better", just a reminder. do not read it as such. i didn't write it as such.

paper-mario-wiki

again. i did not say you were not oppressed. this post is literally about how you are oppressed. it is a reminder that you are not the most oppressed person in the world, a way i've seen a lot of white transfems acting lately. maybe not even necessarily in a detrimental way, but in a way that definitely leans towards the "white is default" lane of thinking, which erases black suffering, which erases progress towards black safety. this, to me, is troubling, which is why i made this post. it's important when building solidarity within our community to understand who the most vulnerable of us are, because the safety of the most vulnerable of us will ultimately be the safety of all of us.

please do not be offended when you are reminded that your skin is white. im not calling you evil. im asking you to remain aware of yourself.

Oh hey I wrote a small essay on exactly this back when I was still being kind and calmly explaining things to yakubian devils

wow, look at that, a black trans woman saying the exact thing i said, except she said it a year ago and it didnt get as much traction.

"weird! i wonder why!" she exclaimed, whitely.

please read it. it's not long.

Thing is that I’m not the only Black trans woman writing theory on transfeminism, Black transfeminism, or trans intersectionality - I’m just lightskinned and won’t shut up so I’m one of the most visible ones, and crackers STILL get mad at me for saying the most basic-ass concepts like “white people are still white even if they’re otherwise marginalized”

In many cases, intracommunity racial intersectionality fails because given the choice between solidarity with nonwhite trans people and white people (trans or cis), white trans people will almost always side with other whites in the hopes of preserving a degraded position within white supremacy, because they internally see being “lesser” within whites supremacy but still above nonwhites as preferable to solidarity with nonwhites that loses them that positionality.

I wanna toss this link on here because it’s directly related to the whole “lack of intracommunity solidarity when race is involved” thing and has a specific example from my local community.
