okay it’s come to my attention that absolutely NONE OF YOU know ANYTHING about how cutie marks work. let me say this simply. a cutie mark isn’t a job being assigned, it’s a special TALENT OR SKILL that the pony enjoys. Most of the time it has a directly transferable job for that skill, like if you enjoy baking and are super good at it WOW! baker. If you are really good at writing and telling stories, author. However, there are some cutie marks that could go multiple ways.

twilight sparkle has exceptional magic ability, so she became a scholar, but she could really do anything that required a good magic skill. same with rainbow dash, her weather controlling job isn’t directly linked to her cutie mark, but it does fit the bill for the job.

i was posed the question of what would a murderer pony’s cutie mark be and wouldn’t everyone know. NO. if somehow murder were to be a special skill, the cutie mark might be something like a knife or a shovel. other ponies might just assume you’re good at cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a ‘green thumb’ kind of deal so obviously the cutie mark would be hereditary.

so, the reason i made this post. walter white pony’s cutie mark would NOT be blue crystals. it would be a CHEMISTRY FLASK.

love how TERFs go on and on about “TIMs” aka trans women but i have never not once seen someone do the same to trans men.

- - -

i’ve seen one argument that says that trans men are simply confused girls that were brainwashed by the patriarchy. like, no? i concede that some trans men lean a bit too far into the toxic masculinity of their cis peers, but it doesn’t change the fact that they are still men. they are simply trying to live their lives authentically as themselves; i don’t see how this is an issue. in fact, i think because it’s such a non-issue, no TERF i’ve seen here has ever gone after trans men.

your argument is that both that women don’t need to conform to the stereotypes of femininity, but then when trans women become involved suddenly not being feminine enough is a problem??

and i want to point out something else- they always define women as people with female sex organs, but they don’t seem to realize that some women simply lack them? intersex people exist, people. i’m tired of this “adult human female” bullshit.

and we’re just ignoring the cis women that have had their female sex organs removed for medical reasons. by your logic, they are no longer women.

and don’t get me started on the statistics that they use to justify their hatred of trans women. i get that a select few of them have done horrible acts, but that’s true of every group? the vast majority of the trans women i know are lovely people who simply want to be left alone to live their lives.

my beliefs on the matter:

- anyone can identify as whatever they wish. sex organs have no effect on any of this. male? female? dog? attack helicopter? go wild!

- trans people are not inherently more likely to commit violent crimes. every group has bad apples; they are no excuse to generalize and then discriminate against trans people.

- feminism is valid. i love and support women as much as the next person on this website. however, being a feminist is not an excuse to hate on people who are already oppressed enough as is and are trying to live their lives.

- good men are out there, and it’s our job to foster healthy masculinity and respect. i promise you it is more productive than hating on trans people.

- - -

bottom line: trans people are just trying to exist and not making it anyone’s problem. please just let them live

This is real queerbaiting. Not a celebrity being close with someone of the same gender, but a corporation cashing in on the hype that a hypothetical gay love story gave them, only to turn tail and walk it back because the political climate doesn’t like gay people anymore. I think you guys need to understand that this is the system at work. It might be just a show, but it is important. Don’t let anyone gaslight you and tell you it’s not.
