Don't die wondering, lesbianism could be just what you need

Spot-the-psyop just got a lot easier bc you can see which supposedly-progressive blogs went from “Biden is the worst ever, so you shouldn’t vote!” directly to “Harris is the worst ever, so you shouldn’t vote!”
Anyone who tells you not to vote is not on your side
the fucking thing where a lot of trans women can't. get our lives started for a long time. until we transition and then so often it's like. suddenly you know things about yourself like there's a being inhabiting this body. you start thinking about things you want to do, ways to go out and finally live. and then. the whole damn world is like, no go fucking back in the hole. and it's so hard to live now that you . actually want to
DON'T LET THEM KEEP YOU IN THE HOLE CLAW YOUR WAY OUT AND SLASH THE HANDS THAT PUSH BACK
please i need this to work right now they are here
Some Fakemon designs I finished up last month for spooky season!
Goomy > Sliggoo > Goolossal I first designed the Goomy about a year ago and have been stalling on the evolutions ever since, but I’ve finally gotten to them. Felt fitting for a regional form that gains the Bug type to be based on parasites, leucochloridium to be specific!
Mermorbid “A certain Galarian researcher has stumped the scientific community with her discovery and revival of a supposed ancient mermaid-like Pokemon. The origin of this fossil is unclear.” Pretty much just imagine the Fiji mermaid crossed with the Galar fossils. Nobody remembers the original Pokemon so they think its a new species! :)
Impidimp > Morgrem > Grimmurk Based on the Toronto tunnel monster! They lurk dark sewers and probably smell like wet dog.
Tallsbian saga(so far!) in order!
Finding love as a transgender person
Marianne Oakes has shared an amazing collection of transgender love stories over at GenderGP.
Here are a few of them.
Marianne wrote:
The myth that trans people struggle to find love is damaging to our future generations, if trans youth or worse still, their parents believe this, then the impact can be loss of hope. My experience is pretty much like all the lovely comments here, let’s stop the myth, xx
More here!
These stories help so much. Not just because of the trans people find love just like everyone else, which is an important message on its own, but because there are some stories of other people who didn’t know since they were kids and this is so fucking reassuring!!!
I wonder how many gay people are actually transgender & dont know it because people thing being transgender is transitioning when it’s literally just not being cis.
like I had a friend tell me last night “all my life I wanted to be a girl. even to this day, like if someone told me I could transition & look like you or *insert another trans woman idk* I would do it in a heartbeat” and when I was like omg ur transgender he was surprised? like he was like wait just wanting to be a girl makes me transgender even if I dont do anything about it? and like its harder to pinpoint non binary people but if u have a desire be a different gender ur transgender. transitioning is a choice but being transgender is not.
“One of the symptoms of being a girl is wanting to be a girl.” Don’t remember where I heard that but the quote is my life.
This is one of the posts I can explicitly pinpoint as helping me realize that I might not be cis. The biggest symptom of being trans is wanting to not be your gender. It can also be dysphoria, it can also be euphoria, it can also be presentation, but wanting to be something else is all you really need.
#wait so ur telling me#‘i dont want to have a gender’#can mean#‘i dont have a gender??’ I would also like to know… for reasons
Confirmed. How to know you’re agender: You don’t want to be anything else. You look at the options for gender and gender presentation and decide to go back to bed
Bold of you to assume I got out of bed
Nah but seriously thanks for the insight
So, if I look at gender and say “this is some bullshit and I want no part of it”, I guess that makes me agender?
if that’s how you wanna identify, yeah.
feeling anything mentioned in this post doesn’t mean you have to identify as trans, but feeling anything in this post is literally all that’s necessary to identify as trans if you want to.
fuck gatekeepers forever.
👏if👏you👏don't👏feel👏cis👏you're👏possibly👏not👏cis👏
i mean this is literally what jvn said
This is one of those things where you can go 25+ years of your life not realising that actually no not everyone secretly wishes they were some mashup of male and female and that you are, in fact, genderfluid as fuck.
You can want to be the other gender.
You can want to be another gender.
You can want to divorce all connection to the gender you were born into.
You can want to keep it as an origin point that shapes your journey.
You can want to be more than one gender at once.
You can want to be more than one gender, at different times.
You can want to be no gender.
You can want to be sort of in between genders.
You can want to be both genders.
You can want to be rid of gendered body parts you already have.
You can want to keep gendered body parts while also being another gender.
You can want to be rid of them but not want the side effects of excising them.
You can feel dysphoria at being shaped like/viewed as/treated like a gender you don’t want.
You can feel euphoria at being shaped like/viewed as/treated like a gender you do want.
You can change your mind or adjust your goals or refine your wishes.
You can be stationary and fixed in your identity.
You can be fluid and changing.
You can be extremely gendered in your presentation.
You can be not very gendered in your presentation.
You can be androgynous.
You can be a little of both.
You can be a lot of both.
If gender is a line you can cross, as the words trans (across/on the other side of) and cis (here/on the same side of) indicate, you can cross it in any way you like, including dancing on top of it.
Be happy.
Be you.
This is an extremely affirming post.
December 1980. ‘There’s a new babe in town, and it’s you’
This is such a good show and you should watch it, I love these precious girls and their found family dynamic.
Transcript:
If I had to pick the single best portrayal of a trans character in any anime I’ve seen… it would have to be this kid: Lily Hoshikawa from Zombie Land Saga, the show that dared to ask the question: what if zombies were also pop idols?
When viewed from one angle, Lily’s backstory isn’t really about her being trans: it’s about a father who loved his daughter but stopped listening to her. From another angle, it’s absolutely about her being trans because she effectively died of dysphoria. Her cause of death – mental shock upon realizing she was growing facial hair – is presented in a fascinating way. The scene is simultaneously tragic and comic in a manner reminiscent of a lot of the dark humor shared among trans people; the kind of jokes you have to remind yourself not to tell cis people because they’ll be weirded out.
Of course, it wasn’t just the shock of puberty that killed Lily: the hectic schedule of her acting career had driven her to exhaustion, and she was overwhelmed by stress about going through puberty while her father, while not hostile towards her identity, clearly didn’t understand what she was going through. In this context, a single facial hair was simply the final straw.
Seven years later, Lily is back from the dead. Her father was completely broken by her death and how he contributed to it, while she is trying hard not to think about the whole thing. I really appreciate how the show gives her space to have complicated feelings about her father. She loves him, but his inattentiveness had consequences. They ultimately both achieve some measure of closure, but things can never truly go back to the way they were.
Honestly though, the reaction of Lily’s bandmates to the news that she’s trans is what really elevates this portrayal to the best of the best. It’s Saki, former biker boss and delinquent, who’s the most vocal upon hearing the news, and her response is laughter – not at Lily being trans, but at the weird nature of her death, and Lily’s absurdly, incongruously macho deadname. Lily doesn’t share her amusement, of course, but letting the crude, direct Saki be the one to react punctures the tension of the moment. Saki gives voice to the things that otherwise might not be said, because Saki has no filter. And shortly afterwards, it’s Saki who opines that it “doesn’t matter what kind of junk she’s got”.
And Lily being trans is never mentioned again. Lily’s status as part of this close-knit group of girls is never in question. She is never treated differently to the others.
There’s a particular moment late in the series that speaks to this. When main character Sakura has a severe bout of depression, her bandmates rally around to help her feel valued. At one point, we see all six of them sleeping next to her, with Lily right beside her. It’s a small detail, the kind of inclusion that’s simultaneously unremarkable and absolutely remarkable. And it really gets to the heart of why Zombie Land Saga’s portrayal of Lily is so masterful. Other shows have given trans characters more focus, but I can’t think of any that have handled them with more finesse – all while making it look easy.

Me from now on when someone mentions this dumb game
For context, someone at Game Informer played cyberpunk 2077 and had a grand mal epileptic seizure (as well as several other smaller seizures).
This is basically as close as we can get to a video game having a gun that comes out of the screen and shoots you in real life when you play the game and people are still clamouring over each other to defend it. Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t gonna fuck you, guys.
i dont wanna be on tumblr when we find out who wins the election
it’s either going to be the biggest fucking party of all times or the apocalypse
i was just going through my blog and re-discovered this post from 2012 and i can’t believe it’s relevant again
how naive we were to think mitt “mittens” romney would be the cause of the apocalypse. how adorable and naive indeed.
