But can you not get why some people would feel deeply upset by the accusation that they are being *immoral* by not considering someone outside their genital preference? Do you understand how hard it is for some people to accept their own preferences? Do you know the struggle they've gone through to make their desires acceptable to society? You understand desire. You don't want to be judged as immoral for your desires. Do you feel comfortable telling people here that their desires are 'immoral'?

wow, that sure is some wild shit I never said!  even with quote marks around a particularly harsh word that I never used!

I literally didn’t even agree with Dr. McKinnon, just said that she’s not advocating rape and we’re not having a discussion on those grounds.  All she’s saying is “I wish people would give me a chance” and right or wrong that’s not, like omg evil transes are taking away your bodily autonomy.  It remains physically possible to decline sex with someone who’s said, to no particular person, “I think more people should consider dating me.”

I honestly don’t know or care how many angels can dance on that particular pin.  I guess I’m somewhere in the boring middle.  Like, I think transphobia absolutely interacts with sexuality, but I don’t know if I’d say that’s the only reason for genital preferences, and also I don’t know if “this feeling has transphobic roots” can really be translated into “therefore, I have chosen to stop feeling it” anyhow.  And ultimately, personally, I don’t want to sleep with anyone who isn’t passionately into who I am and what I’ve got.

I just would like people to stop jumping in with “this is the Trans Agenda to destroy consent!!!” when a woman makes the incredibly mild and commonplace statement of “I wish more people were attracted to my body.”

EDIT: also how did I even get roped into this other than that I’m also trans?  Rachel McKinnon does not, in fact, run all her tweets by me for approval.

Just wanted to drop a line to say that I really enjoy this comic. It's such a remarkable piece of fan work. Impressively well-done!

Thank you so much, you’re so sweet! I can’t wait for everyone to read everything <3

ten-bobcats replied to your post “Also, if you dumb motherfuckers who keep insisting on reporting...”

When did that happen? Who reported what?

There have been some antis who have made posts about reporting AO3 and similar sites to the FBI and it’s just like...

With everything else going on in the world, can you guys not waste the FBI’s time?

A winter exchange gift for @ten-bobcats!

Getting high was an accident. Sleeping with Jared was a mistake. But now Richard has to deal with the consequences, both to his company and his view of himself.

5, 16, and 25!

5. weird things I do when I’m alone.

Sometimes when I’m nervous, I walk around my room for a long time, while listening to music. Not dancing, not talking to myself, just walking alone in circles while listening to my music.

16. A drunken story.

Last Carnival, my friends (some of them that I didn’t know them a lot) and I were on a parade, that began at around 2 o’clock, drinking muscat and a bottle of coconut Martini with warm peach juice (yikes!) and one of my friends had a bottle of some lemon liqueur. I tasted and I didn’t like it. One of boys on the group, known for drinking a lot and not eating for days, almost drank the whole bottle. Past a hour, he started to complain about pains on his body. The idiot probably didn’t eat on that day and the liver was complaining.

So I offered my aid and I had to carry him, until the parade was over. It was actually nice, we talked a little bit, know each other and stuff. The parade was over, but we lied on the plaza floor and I still had to help that idiot, because he was wearing summer clothes on a winter day. He only recover at 10 of the night. Like, I also got drunk at the parade, but you’ve to eat before deciding to drink half of bottle of liqueur.

25. 5 things within touching distance.

(being on my living room, describing  what’s over the table where at)

1. My mp3 player, which is dead;

2. Handkerchiefs;

3. A pillow;

4. Jar of flowers;

5. TV remote control.

Okay Halloween is over but I long for those innocent days. What kind of silly costumes do you think Jared has worn over the years? Does he like going to the effort of dressing up? What kind of half-assed costumes does Richard usually pull off? X)

Okay so here I go again at answering this delightful ask! I liked this so much I extended it to all of the guys (with emphasis on Jared because we all know who I am as a person). HERE GOES

Jared never really did Halloween as a kid– he moved around too much and couldn’t eat most of the candy and the idea of going out at night to see scary things did not appeal at all. As an adult he ended up more on the adults-drinking-wine (cider for him) side of things, usually just in his work clothes. But college, oh boy. College was where he really experienced Halloween. Each year he dressed up as a different inspirational historical figure, all of whom happened to be women. In order, he was Amelia Earhart (bomber jacket, red scarf and goggles on his forehead, he looked extremely dapper and caught the attention of girls and guys alike), Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (long black robe lent to him by a friend in the gospel choir, and a lace doily tucked in at the neck. Not a lot of people got it as first, but when he explained it they loved it), Malala Yousafzai (Vassar is very socially conscious, so to avoid any cultural appropriation he just wore a nametag that said “Malala” and a plastic medal that was meant to be the Nobel Prize. Not his best costume, but he spent most of that night making out with a guy named David so it didn’t end up mattering much), and his senior year he was the goddess Artemis at the encouragement of his friends, and went decked out in flower-crown gorgeousness and wore a dress for the first time and felt absolutely beautiful. He still has a polaroid picture from that night, his cheeks glowing, a translucent shawl over his arms.

Richard has a Gryffindor scarf that his sister gave him in the back of his closet, and throws it on when Erlich is giving him a hard time about being in costume, “I’m like, a casual wizard,” he says. Mostly he stay in tshirts and hoodies even when everyone else is in costume, because he hated having to explain to people what he is and doesn’t want anyone looking at him longer than they absolutely have to.

Erlich has one of those giant ridiculous dinosaur costumes. You know the kind I mean. Where his face is in the dinosaur’s neck and his big stuffed tail knocks stuff over when he turns around. He wears it every year and drinks a ton of beer and has a great time.

Dinesh always tries to dress up as the leading man in whatever movie is popular at the time– the latest james bond, or jason bourne, or hotshot heartthrob. It always ends up a little off, and he has to explain to people who he is. One year he just wore black jeans, a white dress shirt with one too many buttons undone, and slicked his hair to the side and didn’t try to specify to anyone who he was supposed to be. It was the best he ever looked.

Gilfoyle had a headband with a little pair of devil horns on it. He wears it every year, and not just on Halloween. He also has a stuffed animal opossum that he pulls out every October and sets on his desk to freak out Dinesh. The only person allowed to touch it is Lucky the greyhound, who sometimes takes it back to her bed to gnaw on and fall asleep with.

Thanks for the ask!!! Keep sending em along!!!
