LoThank you for everyone who messaged me last night/this morning. The support truly helps and is amazing and makes me feel better.

That said, I think I am going to quit tumblr for a few months, or possibly more like 8 months depending on the situation. I’m not at a point in my life where I can handle the worst that humanity has to offer. I don’t have the in person support system or the mental health support(i really need to get on depression medication as well as individual counseling) to do this. It’s hurting me more than I’m doing good, and if I can get in a better place, I can come back and be able to whether to awful people and situations and stay strong. 

Now, granted, I don’t actually produce much original content anymore (maybe that will change to once I get in a better position!) But mostly reblog from a  variety of sources I trust. Some are half fandom half social justice, others are full social justice. I’ll plug them here, you can follow them if you like my stuff to get mostly the same thing!

Akoneo.tumblr.com : They are a lot like me except they draw stuff. They have a wide variety of posts, but a variety of social justice, video games, steven universe, pokemon, b99, and anime. They are actually the #1 person I reblogged from recently, so if you like me you’ll probably like them.

Busket.tumblr.com : An old artist follow from homestuck days who like me, has turned both fandom and social justice. They are big enough that I often see them and roachpatrol have replies on a lot of social justice posts I reblog. Again, a healthy mix of social justice, anime, video games, SU, etc. 

minter-is-coming.tumblr.com : Another mixed fandom/social justice blog, with a healthy dose of great memes and other goodness! They are great for brightening up your dash even if you aren’t in any major fandoms!

smitethepatriarchy.tumblr.com : 100% social justice blog, and the person I credit with getting me into social justice as they were one of my first follows ever. They know a variety of social justice blogs but they also have a blog and produce regular content constantly! They focus on feminism but constantly reblog support for LGBT issues (including aces!), mental health issues, black lives matter and other PoC issues, etc.

crosshonneonna.tumblr.com : Another homestuck artist turned social justice, although a smaller one. Lots of artist reblogs, cute animals and food, along with social justice and assorted fandomm, though the fandom stuff is a bit on the low side, if you want something different to look at!

thestarofdoom.tumblr.com : One of my two best friends who also hasn’t changed their title from our titles that we got with my original homestuck test. We reblog a lot from each other, and he reblogs a lot from some of my other friends who have perspectives into other issues we don’t personally know a lot about, such as polyamory and BDSM culture. He’s a great guy and will be a great follow!

candysuits.tumblr.com : Cosplay/Con buddies! They are an amazing cosplayer who still does amazing trickster homestuck cosplays, but they also do a lot of other fandoms and social justice! They still post homestuck stuff, if you need your trash fix :P

spainoctopus.tumblr.com : My other best friend, and the worst pun master around. Fandom, social justice, homestuck, he’s got everything. Also if you send him puns in his ask, I bet he’ll be super happy. You should totally do that. They follow a lot of people I don’t so I get a lot of reblogs from them!

chibicheesepuff.tumblr.com and their shit post blog shitpost-pyukumuku.tumblr.com : Old college friend who I converted into a social justice warrior (you’re welcome) They are super sweet and their shitpost blog is fucking amazing and always puts a smile on my face. Also a good artist, and mixed social justice/ fandom.

To clarify, I was very interested in certain information I would like to learn from. Trying to finding to make sense of it all-if it started on the wrong path, that was not my intention. I am a student that is still learning about politics and history which deeply interests me.

Explanations are always welcome-if it is contained with direct seriousness and fact checked. If a threat, it would not be perceived seriously in Tumblr.

However that aside, don’t mistake me as naive.

Simply put, I put one certain information I would like to share about in which certain people has a certain mindset, which surprises me that it is reacted with hostility-I just want to share if there is an explanation to it.

I won’t be silent on right morality.

I question conformist mindsets that seemed to attack only one area.

“... in the time that is now, Republicans are the party of Donald Trump, Steve King, Stephen Miller, and so many other white supremacists.”

I wonder if you forgot David Duke, not only endorsing and later condemnation of President Trump (who in turn condemned David Duke and racism in particular), endorsing Tulsi Gabbard a Democrat (rejected the endorsement) and IIhan Omar (who tweeted anti Semitic comments).

Did you forget the long term racism with the Democratic Party that still remain in Civil Rights era? Figures like Orval Farbus, George Wallace, Nestor Maddox, and infamous Bull Connor? Any thoughts on information that it still remains today due to cities that are usually Democratic that contain high crime rates and negligence?

Republicans are still massive hypocrites for claiming to be “pro-life”...

What happened to Chuck Schumer a Democrat then? Made a threating comments at pro-choice rally?

There was a saying I heard about abortion, which had me thinking: “If the conservatives lied, we put a lot of stress on women. If the liberals lied, we murdered countless babies”.

Law and Order: Dignity episode furthered the thinking also.

In addition, Planned Parenthood is under weird historical scrutiny that one of their leading founders Margaret Sanger, spoke at white supremacists rallies.

“#i’m cooped up and angry and i will take your head right off”

Something that a school bully, cyber bully, any racial supremacist, and Antifa would say.

I strongly condemn terrorism and violence against pro choicers and abortion clinics. But what about videos of peaceful pro-lifers being harassed and assaulted?

I wonder if Democrats can also be honest for seconds also. Doesn’t their agendas do not anger you also? Afterall, is it not true that politicians, regardless of their affiliations, are fickle? Wouldn’t their hypocrisy not make you into a volcano?

Discuss. Questions?

I’ve been lurking on my favorite tumblrs for a couple years and finally decided to try it out myself. I don’t know what will come of it, but we’ll see. 

[pantransautie]

....Why is a cis woman telling terfs gender and sex are the same thing? Like should I not be on a waitlist for T bc estrogen dominance is male? Cis allies are the worst!!!

She was telling them that because they both are in the sense that they are both social constructs.

The differences between gender and sex are that gender is about social identity and interaction and that sex is about biology, but they are both social constructs in the sense that they were both invented by society based on those things.

I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with you wanting to get T.

It seems that you think that she was saying that you shouldn’t need T because you should be fine the way you are, since you think of yourself as a man and that’s all you really in order to be trans.

I don’t think that’s what she was saying at all.

I’m sure that she agrees with me in the sense that it’s up to the individual to decide what they think of as being feminine, what they think of as being masculine and what they want to do with their bodies in response to that.

If someone thinks that they themselves are trans, then I think that they are trans too.

A trans man does not need T in order to be trans or a man, but there is also nothing wrong with a trans man wanting T.

EDIT: I reread the post that this ask is referring to and I agree with the anon in the sense that it does sound like she thinks that gender and sex are the exact same thing when they’re not.
