i'm too much of a materialist to ever be properly chuuni because i simply cannot stop myself from saying things like "tch, that's obviously not real"

[eggdolls]

actually this is a pretty good concept....a furudo erika type girl who is chuuni in a scientific way....

aghh, i can't control my high intellect..! logic and reasoning BLAST!!

how are you black like at all unless that wasnt you in those pictures

I was born Black, I live Black, and I’ll die Black.

I’m mixed and very lightskinned, and I acknowledge this and the way I benefit from colorism. That said, p much the only people who ever question my Blackness are leftist crackers trying to find a reason to excuse their own racism, because if I’m not “really Black” then they can disregard me when I tell them they’re doing racist shit, which is in itself ironically a manifestation of antiblackness.

But if you want an actual *story* for your shit, I’m in a storytelling mood tonight. I grew up in a 90% white, 0.3% Black state where at absolutely no time was I considered anything other than “The Black”. Being light ain’t stop the kkk from threatening to burn my parents place down, ain’t stop a white woman from using my Blackness to rape me by threatening to call the cops if I didn’t capitulate - after all, would they believe the 5’5” white woman or the 6’4” Black “man” in a state like Montana? - and even now post-transition and besides the explicit transmisogynoir I experience, there are multiple groups of people that actively talk about lynching me, specifically, by name.

But my suffering ain’t the decider of my Blackness, despite all thats happened to me. Other Black folks are my community, are who I’m in solidarity with and who I be prioritizing. I experience the suffering, but I experience the Joy as well. My Black family, my Black community, my Black fuckin life, and part of that is doing what I can to protect and support and amplify other Black folks because y’all don’t fucking listen when anyone darker than me talks. Y’all ain’t listen when we suffer, y’all ain’t listen when we dying, unless someone my shade says it or it’s become the trending words of the hour.

That enough of a story for you?

[storyweavingspider]

What I think is funny about getting asks like this is that for every one of these I get about a hundred calling me a nigger or other slurs that I just block and move on 💀 like yeag, E and spending 5 years mostly inside stole a lot of my melanin like I’ve talked about before, but baby the evidence for me being societally considered a white woman by more than just random individuals just ain’t there, solidly against it even.

you can meet the girl destined to be your sister on tumblr dot com. but beware. thr distance.

[mint-swirl]

you know all those posts from last year about how your choices when talking to ralsei are always "kill yourself i fucking hate you" and "you should be happy actually"?

this is one of those, by the way.

[mint-swirl]

no like it's actually insane if the transfem ralsei angle is entirely unintended. would be one of the largest death of the authors maybe ever. your option to dismiss her of what she wants is even right out of the transmisogyny playbook hitting her with a "bro". like either toby fox knows exactly what he is doing with the "subtext" or he is entirely checked out when it comes to the lives of trans women, and i feel like there's no way it's the latter

[pizzaback]

if as a transmasc you want to be tall, then say you want to be tall. if you want to be feminine then be feminine. if you want to be thin say you want to be thin. if you want to be alt then be alt. if you want to have a penis say you want to have a penis. just say which physical traits you want to have (preferably on your own post) and stop saying you want to “have the gender” of whichever trans woman’s selfies you’re commenting on. her gender is female and you would explode if you had to deal with even a fraction of the things she’s dealing with

[pizzaback]

i’m sure i’ve said it before but i really think that when transmascs say they “want the gender” of whichever woman they’re looking at what they really mean is that they want to be a feminine person with a penis, which is both achievable and should be achieved, but projecting this desire onto trans women is pretty disgusting actually, considering those aren’t what qualifies her gender, she might not even enjoy having whichever traits you’re pining after, and you will not have and do not want her gender anyway
