MASTER LIST!
As my blog here keeps growing and my articles get buried under re-blogs, I’ve decided to compile this “master list” with all my original work for easy access. With only a few notable exceptions, I’m not including the reblogged posts and answered asks because that would simply take too much space. You’re welcome to scroll down anyway, but I warn you: it is a long road ahead.
—WordsmithOfDoom
—See the full list below the cut—
🎶 ✨ when you get this, list 5 songs you like to listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers 🎶 ✨
And I'm adding a rule so I'm adding a random thing to each ask I send to make it personalized :D
For you, you get a ✨very easy algebra problem✨ because I'm good at math and I like math and I just like giving very easy algebra problems to people for no reason
What is 2^2 x 3^3? Please it's so easy
Hi there!
I don't usually participate in this kind of reblog/chain games. Since you are a mutual I'll make an exception, but I won't be sending this to anyone else.
Songs in my English-language heavy rotation list (which is quite big) include these:
Pet Shop Boys: It's a Sin
Boy George: The Crying Game
Conan Gray: Found Heaven
Johnny Cash: Hurt
Elton John: Believe
And here are some bonus tracks, from my Spanish language playlists:
Mecano: Stereosexual (tw: slight nudity)
Juan Gabriel: Abrázame Muy Fuerte
Fey: Gatos en el Balcón
Presuntos Implicados: Como Hemos Cambiado
Ana Gabriel: Simplemente Amigos
And in German:
Rammstein: Mein Herz Brennt piano version (tw: self harm)
Nena: 99 Luftballons
Johannes Oerding: An guten Tag
Dritte Wahl: Gefühlt ist es noch kälter
Die Toten Hosen: Wie viele Jahre (Hasta la Muerte)
Oh and if I got the symbols right, 108?
Two-Spirit
Two-Spirit is a term created by Indigenous peoples of North America in 1990 to bring together the diverse gender identities and sexualities that exist within their cultures.
It is not a single gender. Each nation has its own traditions, names, and ways of understanding these experiences.
For many communities, Two-Spirit people held important social, cultural, and spiritual roles before European colonization.
The term should not be used by non-Indigenous people, as it is specifically connected to the cultures and experiences of the Indigenous peoples of North America.
Irawhiti (Māori)
Irawhiti is a Māori-language term used by some people to describe transgender or gender-diverse experiences.
The term is part of the contemporary revitalization of Māori language and culture, allowing Indigenous people to describe their identities through their own cultural frameworks.
Although it may be translated as "transgender" in some contexts, Irawhiti carries meanings connected to Māori cultural realities and should not be understood simply as a copy of Western gender categories. ( Flag design by Irauí on Tumblr. ) @irawhiti
takatāpui (Māori)
Takatāpui is a Māori term used by Indigenous LGBTQIA+ people in New Zealand.
Historically, the word referred to an intimate relationship between people of the same sex.
Today, many Māori people use the term to express both their Indigenous identity and their gender or sexual diversity.
More than a specific sexual orientation or gender identity, Takatāpui connects a person to their culture, ancestry, and community.
The term is part of the Māori cultural revitalization movement and demonstrates that gender and sexual diversity can be understood through Indigenous perspectives, not only through Western categories. ( Flag design by Irauí on Tumblr. ) @irawhiti
Māhū (Kanaka Maōli)
Māhū is a traditional Hawaiian cultural identity associated with people who embody both masculine and feminine qualities.
Historically, māhū people held important roles as educators, keepers of knowledge, healers, and transmitters of cultural traditions.
The arrival of colonization and Christian missions attempted to erase these identities, but many Native Hawaiians continue to preserve and revitalize the māhū identity today.
Māhū is not simply the Hawaiian equivalent of "transgender" or "nonbinary." It is a distinct cultural identity deeply connected to Hawaiian history, culture, and spirituality.
Tibira/ Tybyra
Tibira is a historical figure documented during the colonial period.
According to interpretations by Indigenous researchers and collectives, Tibira may be understood as a man who had relationships with other men, or as a person who lived with a feminine gender identity or expression, challenging the norms imposed by colonizers.
Their story is remembered as an example that gender and sexual diversity already existed among Indigenous peoples long before colonization. ( Made by me )
Çacoaimbeguira
Accounts of the Tupinambá people mention the çacoaimbeguiras.
According to interpretations by Indigenous researchers and collectives, they may be understood as women who had relationships with other women, or as people who lived with a masculine gender identity or expression outside the norms imposed by colonization.
Their existence shows that diverse ways of experiencing gender and sexuality were already part of Indigenous societies long before the imposition of European models. ( Made by me )
A comic about book bans, ppl's continued dismissiveness of asexuality, and ppl's lack of understanding around what it means to be queer, and why they should be worried about book bannings.
I'll add smth here cos I learned after posting this on IG that people still aren't entirely understanding how scary and dangerous this is. Ppl kept saying to me 'I can still buy your book in shops though' or 'Its okay, I'll order your book into my library!'
I dont give af about my book lol No one outside of Ace ppl ever read it, its yearly sales don't even cover a month of expenses for me.
The thing you should all be concerned about is that a totally benign unheard of book about someone's every day life is being banned. And those laws listed above are passing through US government right now. One of those laws would make it so that any teacher/librarian in the US could lose their job/go to prison for simply sharing 'ideology'- and I don't mean only lgbtq folk, these laws are attacking black history, civil rights history, disability rep in books. Just talking about these things will now legally be considered a 'dangerous ideology'.
And once that's set into law, the US government has backing via law to go ahead and say 'if these books aren't legally allowed in schools, then they shouldn't be allowed in shops, either.' And from there it sets up a great argument for 'The dangerous content in these books is lawfully being removed from public, shouldn't we be lawfully removing the people living out/promoting this ideology too?'
I can see why ppl don't fully understand how dangerous book bannings are, if they're not familiar with the history of fascism. If you're interested, there are plenty of graphic novels that share this history via first hand accounts- Maus, Persepolis, Banned Book Club.
But guess what? You're on limited time to get these via libraries...cos all three of these books are on banned lists too, and they got nothing to do with lgbtq rep, and everything to do with warning ppl about fascism.
And the US government knows it can get away with this, because they are passing these laws as we speak and barely anyone is doing anything about it or talking about it. I've been trying to talk about it for years and no one does anything except say to me 'don't worry, I'll buy your book!' or say its a badge of honour that I have a banned book.
So I'll emphasise once more. If you live in the USA, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR REP ABOUT THESE LAWS!
Friendly reminder that book bans only ever happen in fascist and theocratic regimes. Their goal is never to "protect the kids", but always to control you and force you to obey them. Reading banned books is an act of resistance. --WoD
Okay, I have a bit of an odd question.
So, me and my friend, @fallenflamess were talking about gender (as one does) and vamp told me about a video he'd seen. In this video, an autistic person explained their relationship with gender. They described it as experiencing gender, but only around other people, or when they thought about it. Other times, their gender simply wasn't there or didn't matter.
I didn't realize this was an uncommon concept, and now we are both curious. We have two questions; is a disconnect from gender in private a common experience? And, is it more common in neurodivergent people than in neurotypicals?
So now we ask this question to all of you.
Do you experience a constant connection to gender?
Yes, all the time — Neurotypical
Yes, all the time — Neurodivergent
No, only around others — Neurotypical
No, only around others — Neurodivergent
No, only when I'm alone — Neurotypical
No, only when I'm alone — Neurodivergent
No, only when I think about it — Neurotypical
No, only when I think about it — Neurodivergent
No, other — Neurotypical
No, other — Neurodivergent
See results/unsure/not applicable
If you connect with multiple, please try to pick the one you connect with most, since Tumblr does not have options for multiple choice.
If you are not sure whether you are neurodivergent or neurotypical, please try to pick the one you think would describe you the best. (Or spin a wheel. Or pick one at random. It's okay)
Please reblog for sample size, as we are very curious and are hoping for a decent sample!!
Edit: that last option was supposed to include agender, but I forgot to add it. Please pick that one if you never experience gender at all!
(Neurodivergent, bisexual and NB/Demiman AMAB) After many years I've realized that, for me, gender is an artificial social construct, like a mask or disguise I use when socializing because society expects me to act a certain way. Like playing a character in theater or an RPG. When not in public, I am myself, and gender is not a part of "being myself". This realization has come as a result of learning to unmask both my neurodivergence and my sexuality. --WoD
The reason people will say “I hate men” instead of “I hate misogynists” when misogynistic behavior and attitudes is supposedly the justification for hating men, is because they cannot grapple with the fact that women enforce misogyny almost as much as men — sometimes even equally or moreso than men depending on the specific situation. Mothers who police their children into performing their assigned gender “correctly” are one of the more obvious examples and it’s something I rarely see feminists trying to genuinely reckon with.
Misogyny enforced by women is too often handwaved away as “internalized misogyny,” and misogynistic women are shown more sympathy and more easily forgiven because they’re victims of the same system they’re enforcing. In contrast, men who are lifelong victims of misogyny (e.g. trans men, intersex men, queer men in general) are rarely given this same grace and in fact are often subject to even harsher scrutiny than their pericishet male peers. This also applies to trans women who, despite being women, are heavily scrutinized and accused of being more misogynistic than cis women due to the myth of “AMAB socialization.”
So when you say that you hate all men because men are taught to be misogynistic, you are very conveniently glossing over the fact that EVERYONE is taught and incentivized to be misogynistic, including those who are targets of misogyny, because that’s how systemic bigotry operates. Desperately clinging to oversimplified models of systems of oppression is rarely more than a flimsy excuse to avoid looking inward and examining whether or not you yourself may be participating in the very thing you claim to fight against, as we have seen time and time again with radical feminists proving themselves to be raging misogynists unwilling to examine their own behavior. I agree that it would make things a lot easier if we could easily sort people into groups of who is safe and who is dangerous based on simple identity markers, but unfortunately we live in the real world and as feminists we have to have room for nuance and self-examination if we want to tackle complex issues like systemic misogyny.
i dont WANT pride months to be over,
on the other hand...

My Pride Month Playlist
I don't use Spotify, but you can probably find most of these in your favorite music provider's site. Only very few of these songs are explicitly about a same-sex relationship or a non cis/het person, but the artists themselves are mostly queer and the songs should be interpreted in that light.
The list is under this cut.
Poem: Versatile / Versátil (English / Español)
Hello guys, gals and non-binary pals!
I wrote this poem a few days ago and forgot to share it here.
This is obviously about my identity as I see it right now.
Happy Pride!
