[fwuitgummi]

gay and trans ppl who live in small towns and have to celebrate pride month by themselves are stronger than any us marine

[komiago]

lgbt people who live in countries where gay marriage and transitioning is illegal and have to celebrate pride month possibly in the closet are also stronger than any us marine

[hearthome-deactivated20210601]

Seeing pride month makes me feel quite left out because noone makes anything for straight people.. Can you post some positivity for me? <3

Pogo is really out here trying to destroy his career huh

[bugcore-moved-deactivated201902]

For those unaware, Pogo was that famous Australian youtuber who did calm and enjoyable mashups of various cartoons and TV shows and was later hired by Disney. These thumbnails might jog some memories

Yesterday however made him deal with a lot of public backlash due to making extremely homophobic comments, using the f slur and saying how happy the Pulse shooting made him. Going as far as to admit that he started fistpumping when he learned that multiple innocent gay men and women had died during the massacre.

Now he’s trying to argue that he was completely trolling and trying to mess with people, but considering that he’s been openly supportive of a neo-nazi and was called out AGAIN for making extremely misogynistic comments about women and feminism as well as mocking rape culture, and made anti gay comments I highly doubt he was innocent at all in this.

[davekind]

prolonged binding and compressing has been proven to cause long-lasting damage that may affect nb and transmens eligibility to get top surgery along with causing bruising and damaging of the ribcage so like if a trans artist wants to fucking draw a trans character with boobs instead of binding 100% of the time perhaps just let transmen and nb folk have their fucking shit because it doesnt concern you and its stuff that we with large chests have to put up with DAILY so seeing art of trans characters with a friggn’ BUMP in their shirt or cleavage that doesnt sexualize us is significantly validating. thanks for coming to my ted talk

Do you ever think you'll stop drawing fanart? No offense it just seems like the kind of thing you're supposed to grow out of. I'm just curious what your plans/goals are since it isn't exactly an art form that people take seriously.

Ah, fanart. Also known as the art that girls make.

Sad, immature girls no one takes seriously. Girls who are taught that it’s shameful to be excited or passionate about anything, that it’s pathetic to gush about what attracts them, that it’s wrong to be a geek, that they should feel embarrassed about having a crush, that they’re not allowed to gaze or stare or wish or desire. Girls who need to grow out of it.

That’s the art you mean, right?

Because in my experience, when grown men make it, nobody calls it fanart. They just call it art. And everyone takes it very seriously.

It’s interesting though — the culture of shame surrounding adult women and fandom. Even within fandom it’s heavily internalized: unsurprisingly, mind, given that fandom is largely comprised by young girls and, unfortunately, our culture runs on ensuring young girls internalize *all* messages no matter how toxic. But here’s another way of thinking about it.

Sports is a fandom. It requires zealous attention to “seasons,” knowledge of details considered obscure to those not involved in that fandom, unbelievable amounts of merchandise, and even “fanfic” in the form of fantasy teams. But this is a masculine-coded fandom. And as such, it’s encouraged - built into our economy! Have you *seen* Dish network’s “ultimate fan” advertisements, which literally base selling of a product around the normalization of all consuming (male) obsession? Or the very existence of sports bars, built around the link between fans and community enjoyment and analysis. Sport fandom is so ingrained in our culture that major events are treated like holidays (my gym closes for the Super Bowl) — and can you imagine being laughed at for admitting you didn’t know the difference between Supernatural and The X Files the way you might if you admit you don’t know the rules of football vs baseball, or basketball?

“Fandom” is not childish but we live in a culture that commodified women’s time in such away that their hobbies have to be “frivolous,” because “mature” women’s interests are supposed to be marriage, family, and overall care taking: things that allow others to continue their own special interests, while leaving women without a space of their own.

So think about what you’re actually saying when you call someone “too old” for fandom. Because you’re suggesting they are “too old” for a consuming hobby, and I challenge you to answer — what do you think they should be doing instead?

So I just heard about “Primed: The Back Pocket Guide for Trans Men and the Men Who Dig Them.” It’s the first sexual health resource written by and for gay, bi and queer trans men/ transmasculine people, put out by Rainbow Health Ontario, and it’s a very frank guide that answers basically any questions you might have about safer sex. They’ve released it for free download here.

[damnitmiles]

A similar guide geared towards trans women/ transfeminine people (though not really sexual orientation specific) is “BRAZEN: Trans Women’s Safer Sex Guide.”

the second link wasn’t working for me so here’s an alternative link for the same trans women/transfeminine guide in case it doesn’t work for you either

i’m just as tired as everyone else is about the subject of pedophiles but i have a theory that i think is semi-new to people who aren’t in forensic psychology. so you know those people who have bizarre fetishes that incorporate teenage characters but don’t look sexual? like the one going around with that twelve or so year old gravity falls character buying bread/destroying the environment?

consider the following: - fetishes can be developed if you associate pleasure with an object or scenario - child porn, even simulated child porn (realistic drawings of minors in a sexual scenario) is illegal under US law - fetishes that don’t directly involve sex like gloves are seen as more harmless to the average person, the more bizarre the more harmless, i.e. buying bread - developing a fetish such as buying bread that no one would ever suspect by masturbating to the concept over and over until it sticks and then drawing or requesting images of child or teen characters buying bread results in an image that is completely safe for work unless you know the true intent of the owner - therefore, said person can easily build a stash of what they see as child pornography but that no one else sees as CP and cannot legally be prosecuted - if the person is even more nefarious than this they can easily introduce children or teenagers on the internet to ‘nonsexual fetishes’ and guilt them into participating, i.e. asking them details about how they buy bread for example - not only that but people invariably see the fetish as “harmless and bizarre” and distribute it while not considering the fact that it is CP to that person, resulting in more popularity and more sympathy for a “harmless weirdo”

this is just another testament to how manipulative the average pedo can be

[illness-deactivated20180325]

pertinent examples that people have brought up:

- kid’s television shows with suspicious themes surrounding inflation, a character laboriously eating another character, mind control, etc and people involved with the show doing “fan challenges”

- anonymous pedophiles on youtube requesting videos of children doing “sfw” things or creating fetish videos intentionally to groom children

- the entire documentary tickled where a pedophile sourced tickle fetish videos from minors

- even that scene from mindhunter where the headmaster tickled children but couldn’t be prosecuted

be skeptical about people who claim to have “nonsexual” fetishes (oxymoron) and don’t be so quick to call them or their fetishes “harmless” if you don’t know what they do behind closed doors

yknow theres a lot of pressure to be successful, particularly on artsy kids whose professions are seen as useless unless theyre famous, but life is fucking hard and sometimes things dont turn out

but i think thats not bad. my dad has wanted to be a musician forever, and hes rly pretty good. but then he joined the military to get away from an abusive family, and then he got married, and then he got divorced, and a lot of horrible shit HAPPENED. he has ptsd and severe anxiety and he could never really get back on the horse. and he never made it as a musician, and now hes 53

but i grew up in a house full of instruments, and he can play all of them, and some of my earliest memories are of him playing guitar on the front porch and me thinking there wasnt a better musician in the world. so. even if you dont get to the stars, exactly, what you do isnt worthless. its not a waste of time if life is difficult and you cant make it, or if you arent famous, or if your work doesn’t influence thousands of people. it will influence someone

there are a million ways to be happy and a million ways to be a successful artist. we create what we do to enhance the human experience and relate to each other and improve ourselves. theres something to be said for just doing that,,,for the sake of doing it, yknow

On a job application: “What is your preferred name and gender, we value diversity, so be honest.” Me: 

[dyslexicpoodle]

I don’t know what this means.  I’ve never filled out a form that said that.

[teddytheebear]

they’re asking you to disclose if you’re transgender. legally, they can’t ask or consider someone’s gender in hiring someone, so they get around it by giving you the option of telling them yourself. if you “volunteer” the information, that’s legal.

its like when they try to figure out if you’re poor by asking if you have “reliable transportation,” hoping that ppl will explain that they dont have a car without actually being asked. things like that.

its a scummy thing to do, especially in this case where theyre presenting it like a “diversity” thing.

[kaylapocalypse-deactivated20201]

^^^^ Never answer those questions honestly if you actually want the job.

[amthsts-remade-deactivated20191]

My managers have personally told people that anyone who puts anything like that outside of just “male or female” gets their application tossed immediately. Btw if an interviewer asks if you have reliable transportation, don’t say anything but “yes I do” that’s it!!!!! Don’t say another word don’t say you take the bus or walk or bike or get rides or uber don’t say anything!!!!! Just say yes and that is it they cannot require any sort of proof of transportation.

[gitgey-deactivated20171125]

Shit. I didn’t know that about transportation but I'mma start doing it now.
