Imagine for a moment you’re one of Lou Wilson’s new neighbors. This guy moves in driving the joker-mobile. He gives you his number and when your call goes to voicemail you’re treated to a full gospel choir. One day you catch a glimpse through his window and he’s just scratching hundreds of scratch-off lottery tickets. He owns two jet skis.
There are chickens in his backyard
Ok you might be wondering, haha it’s funny to be an Animorph, Vic, but why the squid? To which I would reply that this Animorphs cover in particular features, I shit you not, a plot where an Alien ship has trapped the heros aboard while it tries to get them to play games.
Vic is my hero
a world without trans people has never existed and never will

That post about 30 year old coming of age stories?
I’ve been thinking about it all morning. What would the plot points be for that? What makes a 30 year old coming of age story?
Old folks sound off in the comments
A few ideas:
Burying a parent that never encouraged independence
Acknowledging a trauma you've spent your life ignoring
Finally opening yourself up to a truly mutual, non-transactional relationship (platonic or romantic)
Leaving a community (religious or otherwise) that has kept you from growing
Obtaining a diagnosis for a health condition (mental or physical) and finally getting treatment and recontextualizing your life.
Student loan forgiveness kicking in, suddenly you can afford to live. That one small change snowballs into something big.
Starting over after the end of The Big Relationship you thought would define your life. Engaging in a new hobby/social group that adds context to how small life felt in that relationship.
You find yourself with a pet you have to care for, which teaches you to care for yourself.
You take a class somewhere that unlocks skills you didn't know you had.
People are tagging it, but I'm just gonna say it.
GENDER TRANSITION.
Coming out as any stripe of queer.
The post-incarceration experience after any significant amount of time.
Changing careers after spending twice as long in training and preparation than you spent in the career because it very quickly ground you to a pulp and/or you learned that it had a dirtier underbelly than you were prepared for.
Mourning the loss of your childhood home after your parents sold it like it was nothing. Something in a back corner of your mind always told you that you could buy it or inherit it from them someday, but you’ll never be able to afford it. It’s just gone…
I think it was brave and sexy of them.
I thought this was inherent but you have to care about trans people you don’t want to fuck too
I’m fully committed to being unfuckable for well over 95 percent of people… I still have things to say and art to make and people to help and games to play with my nerd friends. I have a life. I’m human.
Happy birthday, Duane.
This website is elite. This website is the blueprint, it's the pinnacle. There is no website like it. I lwill never leave this website
lets hear it for transgenderism and faggotry. can I get a round of applause for transgenderism and faggotry
also shoutout to queerness and dykishness and gender fuckery. if you reblog this post you hate conservatives
For reference, the federal minimum wage would have you earning roughly on average $1,256.66 a month
It’s recommended your rent only be 30% of your total budget, so with an average monthly rent of $1,827 that would mean your average renter’s monthly income should ideally be $6,090
That would be roughly $35.13 hourly or $73,080 annually
However, the average renter’s household income is only $42,500 annually or $20.43 hourly (as of 2019 according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey)
This means either rent prices are too unsustainably high and price gouging or wages are too unsustainably low and predatory
Or both
(Hint: it’s both)
not to mention most apartments won’t even allow you to apply unless you make 3 times rent.
Disability benefits are also way too low because if they weren’t, the government would have to admit that min wage needs to be higher and THEY FUCKING WON’T
I bought a Britney Spears CD and the cashier was stunned because I was a goth, listening to Britney Spears.
The perception that non-binary gender identity doesn’t matter because “you don’t even have to change yourself, just grab a they/them pronoun” is SO CLOSE to understanding that gender isn’t the same as sex or physique… and then just blows right past the point.
“Well it’s not a REAL transition! You look the same.” Translation: “If it’s not real to ME, it shouldn’t be real to you.”
People who are like this take what they see (which also isn’t even correct half the time; non-binary people dress differently and bind their chest and take hormones and get surgery as well) and they say “this must be frivolous, or a fad/trend and it’s not real because WHERE’S YOUR ANDROGYNY.”
As obsessed as they are with knowing what binary trans people’s assigned gender at birth was, they act entitled to NEVER BE ABLE TO TELL an assigned gender at birth for a non-binary person.
And even if they think they can tell, they sometimes guess wrong! Which makes the problem even worse because whatever binary gender they believe you pass as becomes where they think you STARTED. Which means that no matter how much you’ve changed, they’ll always be incorrectly assessing it as “not that much.”
1) stop telling people they look the same. It might be a safety issue for them. It might be that they’re allergic to/not ready for hormones. It might just be that this community is hard to find mentorship in. You don’t know what they’re going through.
2) nobody is required to be perfectly 50/50 androgynous presentation. That is such a binary way to view non-binary gender.
3) if people don’t want to medically transition, if they just want to slap a label on themselves and be done… FUCKING LET THEM. That IS valid and it DOES change your life immediately to no longer have binary privilege.
If you’re going through this, if you’re surrounded by these foolish people who invalidate and bully you, just remember that you’re not alone and that they’re transphobes no matter what. If you look “too different” or “exactly the same,” they still say all the same hateful bullshit and are not just letting people exist however they want.
If you’re a binary-gendered person, whether you’re cis or trans, the non-binary people in your life would feel much happier and safer if you extended them some basic courtesy. And if you’re not willing to do that, you just don’t have to be part of their life.
Paladin (OOC, asking about an NPC): Did you use pronouns about this person?
DM: Ah right, sorry; it’s a very old-looking halfling.
Paladin (OOC): That’s not a gender.
Maybe it’s an agender halfling.
Non-binary/genderqueer/gender-fluid: them
Agender/Greygender: it
People who object to trans people being in fantasy are wild. As though some silly-hatted alchemist wouldn't simply invent Almazar's Gender Fluid in an afternoon and distribute it to every dungeon chest in the land. It's Common on the loot table and half the goblins drop it. You can brew it yourself with three mushrooms and eight snail shells. It sells for 1 copper at the merchant because the supply is so abundant. You fool. You melon. You absolute buffoon. The limits of what you are willing to imagine are an epitaph you wrote for your own freedom.
"The limits of what you are willing to imagine are an epitaph you wrote for your own freedom," is such an apt and memorable statement.
