Still thinking about the Centaurs and their reaction to finding out that “THE Shane fucking Hollander” was mistreated and chased out of his previous team.

I don’t think Shane would openly talk about what happened- he’s too polite and private to do so- but I think it would start to be pretty evident to everyone that he came from a toxic environment.

Like- he apologizes for every loss and mistake as if waiting for full condemnation- seemingly completely unaware that he is 1) a player better than nearly everyone else on the team, 2) not solely responsible for their failures, and 3) only fucking human??

And they notice that he has specific habits. Like. He stays late. He comes in early. He never showers around anyone else if he can help it, especially his husband. He keeps to himself, quiet and tense. He’s surprised when people voluntarily speak with him. He avoids physical touch like the plague. He takes any chirp that is lighthearted poking as serious criticism.

The only times he’s apparently confident and content are when he’s actually playing. He struggles when it comes to practicing with the team at first because he doesn’t expect to have help on the ice. He flinches when his teammates celebrate a goal with him, easily startled by a pat on his back or a knock with a helmet to his head.

And anything with Ilya is stilted and awkward. He avoids touching his husband. He avoids looking at him for too long. He flinches at well-meaning chirps about their relationship status. And Ilya is consistently looking at him with concern and adoration and the slightest hint of disappointment (not with Shane. Just with the situation).

Idk. I just keep thinking about this and going crazy.

as a tme nonbinary lesbian, i get that gender and sexuality is nuanced. it continues to strike me as odd, however, that anyone who would consider themselves to be a flavor of "man" would insist on inserting themselves in lesbian spaces. and, naturally, it is so reliably used to contribute to some narrative of lesbian "purity" or whatever that it fully just reiterates itself as transmisogyny. it also always comes at the expense of transfem lesbians. i really cannot think of a more obviously egregious example of bioessentialist rhetoric than the idea that a trans man would have more "right" to call himself a lesbian because he "was a woman," than a literal fucking woman would because she is transfem. just a full mask-off admission that what defines lesbianism for these boys is their pussies.

and, yes, butchness and lesbian masculinity can and have bled into transmasculinity, but "masc" does not equate to "man." like welcome to gender 101. i also totally get that lots of trans guys found solace in being a lesbian before transitioning, and i'm glad they found comfort there! but like. there's a word for men who are attracted to women. let me tell ya, it's not "lesbian." so yes, i would actually infinitely prefer to not have men, cis or trans, in dyke spaces. i don't care that you're embarrassed about being a het guy. not my problem!

still thinking about how insane it was for phil to open their FIRST EVER video post-hard launch with "I didn't get any sleep last night because dan who was sleeping next to me in the same bed who has been doing so for 16 years by the way in case you forgot woke up screaming home invasion and then knelt on the bed the bed by the way because we share it-
