Headcanon: Professor McGonagall has a muggle wife she never mentions to the students, because they never ask.
Four years after Harry’s left Hogwarts he visits McGonagall’s home to talk her out of retirement, and the door is opened by a woman he doesn’t recognise. Confused, he introduces himself and asks to see McGonagall. The woman recognises the name and invites him in, saying Minerva will be home soon. She then talks a mile a minute, but not about the war - about the stories she’s heard about the golden trio from their head of house. About how Harry stood up to Umbridge, and how clever Hermione was, and how Ron had been able to beat her chess game, and how PROUD Minerva was of them all.
By the time McGonagall does arrive, Harry and her wife are chatting like old friends. Minvera’s wife calls her things like “Darling” and “Pumpkin.” Harry cannot believe his ears.
Harry is invited to tea every Wednesday from then on. He always looks forward to it.
but lets be real here, even with the “darling”s and “pumpkin”s Harry still wouldn’t catch on and he’d go home and tell Ginny all about McGonagall’s lovely gal-pal and Ginny would have to be like “babe…that was her wife”
You’re right, fuck! How could I forget how deeply unobservant Harry is?!
"Okay, well you still can’t tell a girl that you don’t want to date her only because she was designated male at birth" yes, you can, because any and every no, no matter the reason (and it doesn't even need a reason) is valid, period, end of discussion. no does not mean convince me. you are a rape apologist, and with what little respect you have for boundaries, more than likely an actual rapist. but at the very least, you're a horrible fucking person and should be ashamed of yourself.
I should be ashamed of myself and I'm a rapist because I don't think trans girls should get excluded just for being transgender? How does that make any sense?1. Rape is sexual acts without consent, so me wanting trans girls to be treated fairly and be loved literally isn't rape.2. Stop saying trans girls aren't girls because it's really transphobic and rather gross.
Lesbians don't exclude trans women bc they're trans. They exclude them bc they're male/amab, the same way they exclude cis men for being male/amab not cis.
But the thing is, trans girls aren't male!
How do all these people who think lesbians can like dick think lesbians have sex? Label discourse aside, wouldn't it be bad for a woman with a penis to be with a lesbian because she would never cum. The lesbian wouldn't want to do anything with the penis so... lesbian is a useful term for trans people because they would know who actually would be enjoy sex with them. Maybe because I don't use strap ons that makes be biased, but there's just nothing I could do with a penis, and I love vulvas.
I see what you’re saying here, but I don’t think it has anything to do with strap-ons. A strap-on is simply a wearable sex toy that some people enjoy. Plenty of them are marketed to straight people–and while plenty of people will try to claim that men who enjoy receiving anal are also “gay”, they aren’t, any more than a woman is.
It’s actually interesting that there is a double dichotomy in the way this discourse views lesbian sexuality. On the one hand, it’s apparently terrible for us to only like vulvas and partners with vulvas, and they will claim that a partner with a penis will be totally fine if we simply “don’t use the penis”. On the other hand, if we enjoy one kind of penetration, there is the expectation that we should be open to ALL types of penetration at ALL times. Lesbians literally can’t win. They tell us we are genital-obsessed for only wanting sex with vulvas. I think it is pretty genital obsessed when they tell me that having another woman put a vibrating sex toy in her vagina means she is open access for their gentitals.
That isn’t meant to attack you–plenty of lesbians don’t ever use sex toys. And, although this isn’t always said, plenty of straight women don’t enjoy penetrative sex. HOW you like to have sex isn’t simply a function of WHO you like to have sex with.
Personally, I think they don’t like the fact that we have sexual boundaries. I think the fact that someone isn’t interested in sex with them simply makes them fundamentally angry.
If I was in a sexual situation, or even just a nude situation, where there was a penis, I wouldn’t just be fundamentally turned off completely, but actively repulsed and afraid. Because someone with a penis who believes they deserve access to my body is someone that I have every right to be afraid of.
For lesbians, penises aren’t just something we are turned off by, they are an active tool of rape and dominance that we have no reason to forgive because of attraction.
Here is how they think we have sex: they don’t. These people have the same mindset that many people have about lesbian sex–that it isn’t real without penetration, or that we find our partners poor substitutes for men.
Here’s what they don’t get: we are actual sexual beings with concrete orientations.
Here’s what they do get: this woman has the gall to have an understanding of what she wants sexually, and it isn’t penis, which they believe that women are fundamentally unable to live without.
It was never about understanding who would want to have sex with them. It was about making sure that there weren’t any who could say no.
Anybody who tells lesbians they need to have sex with males is a rapist or a rape apologist, and I won’t ever back down from that. Telling a woman that her sexual boundaries and wants are not okay is rape culture. That is why they don’t care. They don’t want us to be able to live together. They want us to live under them.
I know this is a topic that I sound harsh on. But I don’t think they realize how often they parrot my rapist’s exact words to me.
Lesbians are exclusively interested in sex involving vulvas. Period. And notice how they never say vulva, only vagina. They refer exclusively to the part of us they think is important–the hole.
Ok that makes sense (I was the anon). Like I’ve been fortunate enough to never see a real life penis unless it was in a kid or on a cadaver and those are contexts have no sexual anything associated with them.
I was just going for the functionality of it. Like even without the dominance and even if I did like straps (cuz you’re right that they aren’t penises) I just wouldn’t be able to do anything of value for someone with a penis. Like that person wouldn’t and shouldn’t want to have sex with me anyway. So I guess your boundaries argument makes sense because they want to be with anyone regardless of what the partner thinks. Or it could just be ignorance like they don’t get how sex works. (Or a combo of both)
Like do they get how up close lesbians get with each others vulvas? Like I swear to god. I want to know what these people expect me to logistically do to pleasure someone with a penis if I don’t want to touch one let alone be near one. Do they think I’d just be a pillow princess and get head and then the person goes in the other room and finishes? Like for me it’s impossible to separate the how and the who.
Like I want trans women to be happy and they just won’t be happy with lesbians. What we really need is to acknowledge bisexuality so that people who are bi can just be that way and then the trans people would have a larger dating pool.
Oh, I see what you are saying here. Frankly, for a long time I was puzzled as to why the argument would be made that you would have sex with someone and just not touch them. But I think I put my current view on that into words in this post: http://hmsindecision.tumblr.com/post/156636701536/its-honestly-hilarious-to-me-when-these
Basically, this part: “Oh that’s right, the argument relies on the fallacy that women are intended as the recipient or receptacle of sexual action and desire, not that we actually enjoy mutual sex.”
The idea is that they are more invested in invading our bodies than anything else. The problem is not being able to get inside us–the problem is less that we refuse to pleasure them and more that we aren’t flattered by their attention to our bodies.
I have had people message me before and say that they used to hate “terfs” until they actually had sex. Then they got it. If you have never had sex, or don’t have an idea of what it might be, some people see it as basically “Schrodinger’s gentitals”.
But no, I don’t think they really get lesbian sex at all. Like… yes, typically at some point our entire face will be on or around the vulva. At some point the average lesbian sex life, literally the only thing in our field of view will be their vulva.
But someone who dislikes your boundaries, discounts your needs, and is after validation alone… yeah they don’t care about the logistics.
I was okay with the original reply until they outright called penises tools or rape and dominance. Yes, people with penises do rape others, and socially, they do tend to be dominant, but that is honestly a really bad assumption.
One, you’re excluding trans girls and reducing them to only their penises, which is usually their most hated part. It really isn’t fair to do that to anyone.
Secondly, you are also making it seem like you’d be okay with dating (and potentially having sex with) a trans boy, because he has a vagina, which is just as bad.
Yes, I know that lesbians are attracted to vaginas sexually, and there is no point in having sex with a penis, but here’s my philosophy.
If the only reason you aren’t dating someone is because they are trans, meaning you like them romantically, they like you as well, and everything is all good, but you aren’t dating PURELY because they are a trans person, that’s not okay. Holding yourself off from dating someone and being happy because they’re transgender? It’s simply not okay.
Now, if it is a straight man trying to have sex with you, I understand, that’s not okay. And if you just never fall in love with a trans girl, go ahead and live your life. But please, don’t exclude trans girls from your dating pool just because they are trans.
Sorry if I overstepped any bounds, but being transphobic is never okay.
Culturally, the phallus is used as a symbol of dominance. And when I say it is a tool of rape, I am referring to the fact that yes, as someone who is ever open to penis, ever, the only contact it would have with me is rape.
Me excluding someone from my sexuality, lesbian sexuality, isn’t intended to be mean. It’s just a fact. Then hating heir penis has nothing to do with me on any level. My sexual boundaries don’t have to be fair. And if acknowledging their penises is “unfair”, how is it fair to me to pretend they don’t exist?
The only reason I don’t date a male is because they are male. Their identity is utterly irrelevant. I am sexually and romantically unable to like males. This is because I am a lesbian. I am not excluding them based on being trans. As you said, I don’t like heir penis–I don’t like any other part either. That doesn’t mean I don’t wish them safe and fulfilling lives.
You ARE overstepping boundaries here. Mine. I specifically am talking about fear and revulsion in my sex life and you stepped in to lecture me about that. Did you miss the part about parroting my rapist’s words, or did you decide to do that anyway?
You are telling me exactly what this was saying was wrong–that my body must be a tool of validation and consumption. That I must be okay with a sex partner whose body is not within my sexual boundaries.
There isn’t some lesbian fighting her love for a trans woman who is just prejudiced against penises. She doesn’t exist.
“If a straight man” as if my boundaries change base on identity.
I don’t date them because I am not and will never be open to sex or romance with someone with a male body.
Please understand that identity is not relevant to sexuality. If you “understand there is no point having sex with a penis” then why did you feel the need to lecture me about why I should ignore a penis if it belongs to a self-identified woman?
If you think it is okay to lecture lesbians about who they can and cannot date or have sex with, this isn’t the blog for you. Take that elsewhere.
Okay, well you still can't tell a girl that you don't want to date her only because she was designated male at birth. That's really transphobic and honestly, really rude in general. You don't have to date her, but from other things I've been reading from you, you're calling lesbians who don't mind dating trans girls aren't actually lesbian. I'm not saying you have to date a girl because she's trans and that would be discrimination, it's not discrimination.
I dunno, just don't say that a girl isn't a girl purely because she has a penis, that's not true, it's not fair to her, and it's simply rude.
How do all these people who think lesbians can like dick think lesbians have sex? Label discourse aside, wouldn't it be bad for a woman with a penis to be with a lesbian because she would never cum.

hey, i'm latina from Argentina and i'm white... latin america is a diverse and multicultural place and not just the stereotype that the US threw on you guys. people here can be white, black, brown, asian... latino is a culture not a race. I know that that person was pretending to be latina but that reply saying "she's the whitest white" or whatever like implying that latino can't be white is totally wrong. :)
Hi! I definitely know that someone can be Latina and white. I actually saw plenty of racism leveled at the indigenous people I knew when I was in Peru (native Quechua speakers, had family living traditionally in the rainforest) from white (usually wealthy) Peruvians. I respect that Latin America is a very diverse place! I think that maybe my reading of that is very US-centric. “Whitest white” signals to me that she is not only racially white, but that she would be so from a cultural perspective as well.
Definitely don’t want to speak over or incorrectly for latinas! But I do think her being white is important when we speak about this in terms of cultural appropriation, which goes hand in hand with white supremacy.
But thank you for the reminder, latinos are very diverse!
I'm so sorry, I didn't realize that! (I'm the person who said that girl was the whitest white as a way to say she isn't latina)
I meant to say she is 100% European, from England and Scotland, and has absolutely no latina (sorry if that's not the right word) blood.
@alex-fierros-undyed-roots Yes, @smolcat100 was absolutely pretending to be Latina. She responded to being told her behavior was racist by responding in Spanish with and implying that she was also a person of color. She then responded more in Spanish–to me calling her out, I have that tagged. Then she answered an anon saying that she was a white person who lived in Ohio with a mysterious “Chilean accent”. I posted her words here, and I am sure that someone else has a reblog of them.
All of those posts were deleted from their blog. But thank you for confirming that they are in fact white, and were appropriating latinas and hiding behind them to deflect her very racist statements. That isn’t surprising.
To be exact, she is Scottish and English. She uses a Chilean accent to speak Spanish, and only to speak Spanish. I can confirm or deny anything else you need, too.
Just so you know, congratulationsyoucanread is a genuinely terrible person, and everything outside of her being a man is absolutely, 100% true. She doesn't deserve to be defended.
Another Gray Orb Talk Nonsensical About Sonethbing But This Time I’m Respond Broperly. Does'nt Matter If Good Or Bad They Are Still An Woman And Should Be Addressed As Such. I Will Not Defend Their Actions As I Am Uneducated On That Matter But I Will Resbect Their Gender And Well That’s Jast All There Is To It
I literally just said that everything /but/ the part about her being a man is right. I know her IRL. Literally everything else is correct.
Teachers
A Teacher should:
>Plan every class they’ll give one week ahead.
>Prepare all material for class.
>Stand on their feet for a minimum of five hours a day, excluding lunch and a professional hour.
>Know each of their students by name.
>Accommodate every Special Needs child in their class, no exceptions.
>Special needs may include: extra time for exams and homework, extra attention in class, stopping them from getting up and leaving their desks all the time, etc.
>Keep their cool when classes get rowdy. This is NOT as easy as it sounds.
>Control the classroom. Again, much easier than it sounds.
>Have an MA in their field just to get hired. Note that it’s their field (Science, History, etc) NOT in Education per se.
>Stop bullying, regardless if they were there to see it or not.
>Pay out of their own pocket if they need more classroom supplies.
>Always be willing to attend a parent or legal guardian. Regardless of the time of day or what you were doing.
>Be ready to confront angry parents over their children’s grades.
>Be ready to handle any emergency, no exceptions.
>Know when to call the cops on the students.
>Attend pointless meetings and workshops that leave you with nothing but the sour feeling that your time was wasted.
>Protect the students from all danger.
>Be wary that one parent complaining about them is more than enough to put their career in jeopardy.
>Learn that their work follows them everywhere, even home. ESPECIALLY home.
>Learn to correct homework and grade tests in a way that is fast enough to leave them some time to breathe at home.
>Learn to live with the fact that everything from their salary to their sick days is always one politician’s whim away from getting sliced.
>Accept the fact that society won’t give a shit about them because a teacher is little more to them than an over-glorified babysitter.
>Let go of the students they have invested so much time and effort on as they grow up. I still think of mine every day.
>Accept that children don’t come and go; they’re in your heart forever.
Teaching is not easy, guys. You invest so much time and energy into these people, be they young children or adults, it doesn’t matter. A REAL teacher can’t help but form an attachment to their students; some of us even come to consider our students as our own children. So, why does society overlook us so much? Do any of you know how little we are paid, in spite of how much we do? Sure there are some bad apples, but what about those of us who spend so much of our lives for the sake of our students?
