boys??

(Icon flag by @clonepa) read DNI and PLEASE don’t spam me it makes me very very anxious (NSFW blogs stop ignoring my DNI challenge- I am a minor.) You must include nlm in mlm content to interact! Main is @pyradim, any pronouns other than she/her or ones that sound similar :)

[runawaymarbles]

The greatest trick the right ever pulled was convincing queer people that other queer people are the enemy

[runawaymarbles]

The split attraction model is not the cause of internalized homophobia. Transphobes are not transphobes because of neopronuns. Lesbians are not harassed because bi women exist. Homophobes are not homophobes because people identify as “queer” instead of “gay” or “LGBT.”

[queer-merm]

Me when I suddenly remember the perfect quote from Leslie Feinberg in hir work Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue;

“To claim one group of downtrodden people is oppressing another by their self-identification is to swing your guns away from those who really do oppress us, and to aim them at those who are already under siege.”

in addition to this great thread, i recommend reading “how the irish became white” by noel ignatiev.  i do expect a lot of fighting against these facts because these lies and myth are so ingrained and now have become a part of the community and the sense of self and pride of irish people.

Happy St Patrick’s Day

hm. im starting to get a bit uncomfy how pretty much all the derogatory terms historically used for mlm are now used by non mlm to insult mlm.

Guys, I buckled - here’s a quiz to find out what you’d be up to on the Ides of March

[letmebegaytodd]

Caesar, muttering to himself: They call me caesar cause I be dressin’

Courier, hiding in the shadows and about to assassinate him:

[letmebegaytodd]

I don’t want to put this person on blast cause this is literally the funniest thing you could’ve tagged this as

[letmebegaytodd]

I CANNOT stress enough to the history blogs innocently reblogging this post that it is NOT about historical figure julius caesar, it IS about a shitty dumbass bastard cosplayer in a wildass video game

[letmebegaytodd]

For the last FUCKING time this ISN’T about HISTORICAL FIGURE Julius Caesar and GOD HELP ME when the ides of march hits again

hard pill to swallow: the idea that your ‘soulmate’ or ‘the one’ will know exactly how to make you happy without you ever having to communicate is fake. the fantasy that you will have all your needs met in a relationship without ever having to be vulnerable is fundamentally not true. sometimes you have to express your needs and desires, you have to ask for things, you have to communicate how you want to be loved, it’s uncomfortable and clumsy but relationships are about learning to love each other not being a mind reader

[konzaprairieunofficial]

In case anyone else needed a reminder

[kenochoric-moved]

There is no “most important” part of the queer community. What I mean is, being gay, being bi, being a lesbian, etc., is all a major part of the community and is extremely important, but someone who’s in the community for a different reason is not suddenly less queer on principle. Straight trans people, straight and/or cis aspecs, etc, are just as important and welcome as anyone else.

These people are not the enemy, nor are they “secret invaders”, they’re members of the community.

[as-water-fills-the-sea]

t*rfs also like to twist the fact that there’s little long-term medical research into transitioning (for both trans women and trans men) in order to abuse and frighten trans men into detransitioning (which, btw, often leads to the suicidal depression that dysphoria causes and transitioning alleviates!)

[as-water-fills-the-sea]

like that popular post about how binding even with a good binder will fuck you up for life and make it impossible to have top surgery later on? written by a crypto-t*rf who thinks trans men are lesbians

[as-water-fills-the-sea]

the number of replies/tags that say something like “i’ve been terrified to bind and/or thought i’d completely fucked up my chance of getting top surgery because of that post” is horrific tbh and if you cis people actually gave a single shit about trans people you’d stop circulating shit like that

[nymt97]

So wait. What’s the truth? Will binding fuck up your chances of getting top surgery?

[as-water-fills-the-sea]

no, it won’t. here’s an email from my GP, who’s been working in the Fenway Health system (which focuses on LGBT healthcare and research) for over a decade:

transcription:

Binders worn too tight or for too many hours in a day can certainly cause some chronic rib/chest pain; they may even cause some scarlike thickening of the tissue under the skin - usually at the margins where the breast folds down against the chest wall in general. This can be uncomfortable, too. But none of this translates into making top surgery a problem. Not at all.

None of the surgeons I’ve sent patients to have ever remarked about this and nothing in standard practice or the general literature suggests or supports that conclusion.

[jules-hoard-of-stuff-deactivate]

Oh my god thank you

I’ve been refraining from wearing my binder because I saw that post and NOW I SHALL GET 2 MORE THANK YOU

[sour-mlm]

Posts like the one OP mentions are what I made my binding post about. I have talked to every doctor I’ve had, and NONE of them have claimed in ANY way that binding can at all affect your chances of being able to have surgery.

If you somehow managed to get welts (not a thing I have ever heard of as a result of binding) then you’d have to wait for them to go away, but that’s literally it.

There are NO known complications from binding that could make you “ineligible” for top surgery. If you’re concerned, ask your doctors. If you don’t trust your doctors, ask whatever trans adults you can find- especially ones you know in irl groups.

[assdevourer]

ya’ll support nonbinary people right up until they use any label other than “nonbinary” or any pronouns other than “they/them” lol

[assdevourer]

xe/xem fae/fem etc pronouns and xenogenders are not a threat or an insult to anybody, i promise.

[jaspertheshark]

see also: nb people are allowed to use she/her and he/him and theyre all still nonbinary and not hurting anyone

So switzerland successfully made wearing a burqa and niqab in public illegal. With a majority of 51%

I cannot stress enough that if you think in europe islamophobia and racism arent running rampant as well and that we’re way better than america, you should reconsider and take another look at what is happening not only in america but the country you live and have actual power to change things in.

Daily reminder that you're not disgusting for liking men.

Second daily reminder that if someone is talking about their attraction to men, and you immediately say something like "get well soon", or any other diss towards the fact that they like men, you're not being progressive and woke, you're just being a jerk.
