I hope you all know how absolutely balls-to-the-wall fucking obsessed I am with Obi-Wan’s Tatooine daily routine. he wakes up every day like oh boy I sure am depressed but I’ve got to go to my MEAT CUTTING JOB in the MIDDLE OF THE DESERT and then he CUTS MEAT for TEN HOURS after which he very obviously STEALS a bit of it to feed to his PET ABOMINATION and heads back to his DEPRESSION CAVE where he talks to a MEAN RAT that keeps stealing his stuff so he can buy a beat up toy for the KID HE WATCHES WITH BINOCULARS from his ROCK OF SADNESS and after he delivers the toy he goes home to have nightmares and talk to a GHOST HE CAN’T SEE. perfection

I’m a cis-gender man which basically means that, when I was born, the doctor went “It’s a boy!” and when I was old enough to understand I agreed with him.

The thing is, I don’t know why I feel like a man.  I was teased and bullied for it a lot when I was little.  I’ve never had stereotypically American male interests.  I never cared about sports or cars or guns.  I was more interested in music and cooking and the arts.  I’ve always been emotionally in tune and sensitive, even when I did my best to suppress my emotions to survive a childhood of abuse from other children.

It’s not physical either.  I don’t feel like a man because I have a penis or a beard.  If you put my brain in a robot body or any other body, my essence would still feel male (I assume).  I literally can’t imagine what being any other gender would feel like, since I feel so acutely male.

I think that’s why the concept of being transgender always made sense to me.  I’m a man.  I don’t have any bloody clue why I feel like a man, but I don’t feel that it’s tied to my body or my interests or the way that I’ve been treated.  I feel like a man because of something beyond that.  Something ephemeral.  So, why couldn’t others feel the same?  Why couldn’t a person who’s been misidentified as a girl feel like a boy for the exact same nebulous reasons that I do?

And, since gender really doesn’t make any sense to me anyway, why couldn’t there also be people who feel as if they don’t have one?  Or who flow across genders like a ship on a map?

Are there people out there whose sense of their own gender is inseparable from their physical form?  If you put those people into robot bodies or, simply, other physically different bodies, would their gender identity also swap?  If so, why?  Are they actually more lost in their gender identity than I am and they need to hone in on the physical in order to anchor themselves?

Why do people feel like they are the gender that they are?

My grandfather, who had a difficult time coming to terms with it when I came out, has been working very hard to understand me and my experience. About 5 weeks ago, he asked me, almost offhand, “why are you so sure that you’re a man?”

And I replied, “well, I could ask you the same thing.” And I moved on, continued, tried to explain why I feel the way that I do, but I don’t think he heard any of those things that I said afterward. 

Because six days later, we talked about it again, and this is what he told me: 

“I couldn’t stop thinking about what you said last week. Because all my life I identified it as ‘these are the parts that I have, and so I am a man’. But you’re living proof that gender is not limited to what is attached to your body, so I asked myself, why am I a man? And all I can say is ‘because I have no idea what it feels like to be anything else’. I cannot imagine what it’s like to be a woman. Or neither, or both, or any other gender. I have always been a man.”

And I replied, “that’s exactly what it feels like for me.”

So, shoutout to my cisgender grandfather, for stumbling upon the essence of being trans accidentally, with very little help from me. I love you, grandpa.

watching cis folks suddenly and comprehensively grasp the inessential nature of gender is always a joy

Deeply deeply perverse watching US reporters and politicians praise Ukrainians for resisting Russian troop advancement. Not because they shouldn't but because of how complicit the US has been in portraying any act of Palestinian resistance to occupation; even as small as a child throwing a rock, as justification for that child and their family being massacred by the IDF. remember this the next time Palestine manages to make it into American news. Remember this if Yemen ever makes into the news.

Cas just makes me go a little crazy because like, he's not just old he's ancient. He's literally one of the oldest, oldest things in the whole universe. He's been alive since the dawn of creation billions of years ago but he tells the Winchesters with absolute certainty "the things that we've shared together, they've been the best part of my life." I can't even fathom that. Cas is like, older than every single tree on the planet, a majority of the stars in the sky (some he might even have helped put there), and humanity itself - and spending about a decade with Sam and Dean has been the best part of all that time.

And not only that, he falls in love! He literally spent an eternity and a half being god's little heavenly warrior and he meets Dean and just, immediately falls in love with him. Like, no matter exactly when you think Cas fell in love with Dean the fact is that the time he knew him was so short compared to the rest of his existence that it might as well have just been love at first sight. 12 years up against billions. That's a fraction of a fraction of a fraction - but he still did it! He saw humanity evolve from fish on a fucking beach and then he falls in love with one. I quite literally cannot imagine that.

Like you are divine you are primordial you are worshipful you are unfathomable and you are in love with a man who wears novelty socks and knows all the words to every led zeppelin song ever written. You are a supernova coveting a speck of stardust and when he smiles at you, you feel butterflies in your stomach. You're older than the ground you both are walking on and you think he doesn't love you back - but the worst part is that he does and you don't know you're wasting time. For the first time in your incomprehensibly long life you have something you want to hang onto and you don't know you're letting it slip through your fingers. If there's anyone in the world that's had an abundance of time it's you - but you'd trade all those billions of years for just one second where he holds your hand and kisses you but it's a fucking tragedy because you don't know he wants that too. You don't know you could have that if you asked. You may be ancient but you are not all-knowing because if you were you'd wake up every morning wrapped in his arms and lean on his shoulder while he makes breakfast. You're old and you're getting older but for once you want to stop and take it all in, take him in, because you meant it when you said this has been the best part of your life. He's been the best part of your life, all 13+ billion years of it.
