you can explain the material things that could be done to make trans women's lives easier, and someone who thinks misandry is real will show up like "that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, abolishing gender". and then they wont abolish gender

uhuh100

they only ever want to abolish trans women's gender

closet-keys

a lot of people say "abolish" when they mean "re-naturalize." they don't want to make sexgender systems more visible and work collectively to dismantle them. they want to make them invisible and insist there is nothing there to dismantle.

Not entirely related but it reminds me of this story

One day I showed off my girliest outfit around the only person who knows I’m transfem and he was just like “oh yeah that’s nice what’s so special about it” and when I mentioned they were girls’ clothes he just went “well yeah but clothes have no gender” and I literally had to look him dead in the eyes and say “let me have this”

I’m not mad about it but it was EXTREMELY disheartening especially because he thought he was being supportive by taking the femininity out of what I was wearing

"let ME have this" me me me me me

Yeah how selfish of me to *checks notes* have a gender identity,

in fact how dare I make decisions about how to present myself and show them off to my most trusted friend (who has been following my transition closely) at all, I really should have known better

sukunyaa

well...yeah? glad we're on the same page

#👍🏾#also your decisions on how to “present” is nothing progressive or transgressive if it's just woman = dress = “gender” euphoria etc etc #let women be feminine!!!!!!!#i hate gender LOL let me leave this argument here. Bye #let men be masculine!!!

purged my account from now on i won't be pokemon centred just comics!!!!!!

#i'll utilize my sideblog for pokemon posting #sorry guyssss

#i think the abolishment of gender is impossible and will absolutely never happen (unfortunately)#but it's both because of selfish people who don't want to fight for anything #and because of t*rfs and their vapid & useless statements #but honestly. in an ideal world. we woulnd't have gender #but again. will prbably never happen #for a multitude of reasons #unfortunately

in miguel's 1992 comic run we see lyla is modeled after xina's marilyn monroe tattoo:

in atsv we see lyla's jacket is the same as the one mj wears in itsv:

which is an implication that lyla is, or could be modeled after miguel's mj

which would probably mean for earth928B miguel, he never cheated on xina and xina is gabriella's mother on earth928B

this wouldnt be too far off bc they already turn miguel's main continuity son (gabri) into a girl (gabriella) so changing his canonical (ex)fiancee from dana to xina isnt that far off either. idk

also considering gabriella has different hairstyles in different holographic vids in the movie, she may have xina as a mom in one universe (earth928B) and dana as a mom in a different one (maybe the one miguel into)

(also seeing as xinas better at computers than miguel/gabri and likely coded lyla herself, she couldve designed her after herself)

thats my 2 cents.

#miguel o'hara #lyla spiderman 2099 #across the spider verse spoilers #atsv

comic tiktok is the worst place to begin getting into comics bc the comments are a cesspool of either

a) wayne family adventures fanon truthers

b) “bruce wayne is the mask” ppl lmao

c) john stewart haters

d) wanda romani heritage erasure

#first of all tim drake is not a coffee addict nor is dick grayson's disposition bubbly and cute!#and jason was not the mean robin!#secondly how do you STILL think bruce wayne is the mask after reading batman 127 lmao #third.. john clears hal easily #fourth i hope for a day wanda will be accurately and respectfully depicted as romani #same with dick #*side eyes tt's romani 'inclusion' panel in that one nightwing issue*#zeniths #omg writing this im just realising how not ok it is to start comics post rebirth

people who “stan” jason but hate talia make no fucking sense to me. how are you gonna love jason but hate his mother.

#jason al ghul its true!

spectral-honey

AU where Jason gets his revenge by becoming a lawyer and getting joker sentenced to the death penalty

Bruce is conflicted about it but any time he tries to say anything on the subject Alfred just talks over him like “oh we’re so proud of you master Jason you finished college and you didn’t even use your father’s extensive resources that could’ve easily gotten someone in this family a degree aren’t we so proud master Bruce that Jason got himself a respectable profession–”

#omg i love this #ex-robin ex-dead jason who appoints his patrols to dana as he studies for the bar #(which he passes)#(first try)#jason todd

nothing/nobody can nor will ever make me turn my back on arkhamverse jason todd.

i’m just gonna be quoting the arkhamverse genesis comic from here on out but:.=

i realise there’s that schtick of “my fav fictional man did bad things, so what” but this rly rings is so true for me when it comes to arkham jason.

like, he is completely in his right to retain hate for bruce—raw, brutal, unadulterated hate for him—for all bruce did to him. or, rather, for all bruce didn’t do for him (read: leaving him alone, adopting him at a distance).

despite the words of his mother, jason already had one foot out of the grave (the grave being gotham in this analogy) and was making a conscious effort of freeing himself from the city’s gravity.

jason was heading down a good track—literally—he used bruce’s paid opportunities as a jumpstart and was excelling at school; working hard; and was on his way to becoming a track star.

bruce lets kids give life to robin to give them purpose, but jason already had a purpose prior to putting on the suit—and that was breaking his parents’ curse, living a good life for himself.

bruce "gifted” jason the suit, in turn weighing so much leaden responsibility onto his shoulders, a responsibility that would come to haunt him for the rest of his life.

you maybe could try to argue that jason’s being robin “gives him magic”utter these words to scare a mean!robin jason stan (batman 1940 v1, #385), but he was already creating a good life for himself.

even as bruce was tossing jason his robin getup in arkhamverse, he said “let’s see if you can do anything other than steal” while jason hadn’t sunken to those measures ever since he’d dug himself out of his grave (lol).

bruce did a lot. adopted him; paid for his future (that would’ve been otherwise successful); got him books while indulging jason in his interests. bruce should’ve recognised that he’d already done enough, already given jason the stepping stone that he’d needed to succeed.

but on the other side of the coin, you could look at arkham jason’s fate as something that was destined.

he was born to two drug addicts that had little grievances with their lifestyle. perhaps his woe was unavoidable, perhaps the todd family’s curse caught up to him.

all i’m saying is bruce had the power to make things better for jason, to stop seeing through his tunnel vision of “purpose” for the children he “saves”, to stop seeking absolution through kids or fulfilling the promise of a ten-year-old, instead just ultimately egging on a cycle that began with his parents.
