Hey remember when people on this site were absolutely insane about asexuals saying they’re a Trojan horse to sneak in homophobic straight people into the lgbt community or whatever and now JKR is making the same lazy edgelord jokes about asexual people
average cis conception of gender is roughly equivalent to “every single liquid is either type O+ blood or cold-pressed peanut oil.” and you’re like “are there not perhaps a handful of exceptions” & they get so mad they start funding nazi militias
you try to start soft with “well there are other blood types. and other methods for expressing oil from peanuts” and they shriek NOOOO YOURE EMASCULATING MY DEAD DAD WHO I HATED
you try “actually there’s also milk, and seawater, and room-temperature elemental mercury” and they accuse you of taking a day off your regularly scheduled child rapes to lie specifically to them
BUT IF PEANUT OIL ISNT REAL THEN HOW AM I CURRENTLY SMOTHERING MYSELF IN IT i didn’t say it wasn’t real i said there were other liquids YOURE SO OWNED BY MY OILINESS ok
A cis woman tells me that maybe she should transition to gain male privilege as I’m recovering from getting beaten up in the men’s bathrooms.
I tell her to be my guest and give me a call when she gets her jaw broken, I always carry a first aid kit and a pepper spray.
She calls me a misogynistic asshole.
A cis man tells me that he’d sure love some T.
Gave him my prescription and best of luck with the constant shortages and getting denied.
He calls me a pussy.
I’m fighting for my life and reproductive rights. I get told to get off women’s fights, that it’s not about me, like I shed my womb after my first T shot.
I search for support groups for SA victims, and I’m stuck in the same “women/NBs only”. Still shooting my shot, send an application. I introduce myself. Never get a call back.
I go to a trans night. Say I go by he/him. Get told back “yeah, that’s how we all start !” by a trans woman. I’m too exhausted, I get up and I leave.
I hang out with my friends, one of them drunkenly says masculinity is a prison we must learn to escape. She gets rows of applause. Back to drinking alone.
Yes I could explain it. But who’d you rather be ? A delusional girl or a man made threat ?Or it could be better, I could just not exist ! And we’d bleach my corpse and I’d become a casualty. Not an F, ot an M, a W for Wound and for Wrong.
I put a candle on a single cupcake, 2 years on HRT. I blow it in the dark. Curtains closed like casket.
And this crap is why I my first response to “lets forcefem everybody” posts is always stfu. Love the vibe but some people will find it actively triggering. Its not innocent fun. Masculitity is my prison but its other people’s home and I refuse to knock it or call its patriots fools. You wanna be a man you deserve to be one in peace you glorious bastard
“Masculinity is my prison but it’s other people’s home” goes so hard.
It’s not just to have a “do over” that doesn’t involve the original cast, it’s to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.
If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That’s just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.
the worst part of “you’ll understand when you’re older” is that you really do understand when you’re older
The second worst part is, once you get older, you find yourself saying “you’ll understand when you’re older” with Full Comprehension of how fucking annoying you’re being right now, but also knowing that it’s all you can say.
