Introduction!

This tumblr and subsequently our ao3 are run by two people!

Aru (they/them): Writes fic, jumps between fandoms at the speed of a mildly hurried snail, started off with Danny Phantom (ghosts my beloved) and now is obsessed with Genshin Impact. Will occasionally shitpost and dip. Also the one who does podfics! Uses proper capitalization and never tags their posts.

(I slander Lilac’s reputation (affectionate) 😎)

lilac (she/her): Hi! I occasionally write fic (im the pseud on ao3 lol) and draw fanart, and post a lot about TOH, ATLA, Good Omens, and BBC Merlin! im the main user of this account but have a side art blog here. i am a huge yapper so i mark all my original posts with #lilac post and tag things properly because I’m not a Fucking heathen Aru :)

Also: please take my lovely toh fandom survey,,,

We give blanket permission to make fanart, write fanfic, record podcasts, or any other transformative works of any of our fanfics (as long as you inform us). We do NOT give permission to use AI to do anything with our works.

I am legitimately so fucking sick of how normalized it is to sexually harass intersex people.

status-quo-hater

Look at this shit

The fucking like ratio. Why. Is it funny? Do people find it funny when we get sexually harassed? I've gotten this question a good 8 times.

status-quo-hater

This shit is so common

image

Perisex people find out we exist and they treat us like we only exist as sexual objects for them

status-quo-hater

It's so common that intersex teens online need to add disclaimers like this to their posts discussing being intersex, I've seen so many disclaimers similar to this on here as well as tik tok.

image

It just makes me so unbelievably sad that people do not respect us. They just don't. We're sexual objects or deformed freaks to most perisex people. It makes me so sad that we can't even talk about our lives online without being seen as walking fetish material.

And this happens irl as much as it happens online. In college settings, at queer bars, in queer spaces.

gives me the idea of a ghost/monster engine that looks normal, albeit a bit battered, only to swing their smokebox door open and a myriad of pipes come bursting out like fucked up tentacles

what "no sugar added" should mean: the natural sugars of the other ingredients like fruit are the only source of sweetness in this product

what is actually means: we added a fuckton of artificial sweeteners

saint-ambrosef

i see we are all angry about this

cakeisnotpie

As a diabetic who has to watch my sugar intake, this pisses me off to no end. I made the decision to give up all artifical sweeteners too (has helped immensely with my migraines and joint pain), so trying to find something that has no extra sweetening is really hard. All those "add to water to make it taste better" things like Mio? Artificial sweeteners. No sugar added tea? artificial sweeteners. It's infinitely better for me to drink the natural sugars of fruit juice than that artifical crap, but it's so hard to find. It's like they want us addicted to things that can harm our health ...

This ranks up there with "No Preservatives" when there's a fuckton of salt in the item. Excuse me...salt is a preservative and has been forever. For someone who has to watch both salt AND sugar, these two things irritate the hell out of me.

I bought "preservative free!" rice wine vinegar once. Vinegar is. It's a. It's.

have you noticed how there is no acceptable thing for a trans lesbian to be, even within queer and feminist spaces? everything that is applauded as progressive, subversive, and powerful for tme queers to do, transfems are hated for.

you can't be a strong, aggressive woman, you can't speak your mind and be openly feminist, you certainly can't be angry, or the same queers who will praise outspoken tme women will turn around and call you a dangerous man. and god forbid you be a man-hating feminist dyke while butch, any touch of masculinity in your presentation will be further snatched up as proof that you're really a man trying to invade women's spaces.

you can't be sexual, you can't be proud of your body, you can't enjoy women's bodies, you can't be a lesbian who likes being a lesbian, or else the otherwise "sex positive" tme queers will accuse you of fetishizing womanhood, of being a predator, a straight man in disguise. and don't you dare commit the cardinal sin of actually liking having a penis, because everyone knows that penis is the ontologically evil weapon of the enemy!

but then, you can't be femme either. you can't enjoy feminine presentation, you can't want to be small and cutesy, you can't like makeup and spinny skirts, otherwise you're accused of reinforcing patriarchy and gender roles, of making a mockery of women, of wearing stereotypes like a costume. these accusations will all be thrown at you by tme queers who tag transmisogynistic caricatures as "gender goals", and who applaud the "femboy" but only before she comes out, only so long as they can say she's just a progressive role-smashing cis boy.

of course it goes without saying that the conservatives, the cishet men who want us to be their dirty little secrets, their lifeless sex toy, an object of desire and target for violence, of course they hate us. but it's not just the conservatives. no matter how you act, how you present yourself, how you feel and express your relationship to womanhood, to femininity, no matter how meek or outspoken you are, tme queers will criticize and ostracize and attack you for doing the very things they praise each other for.

there is no way to earn a way into their good graces, no way to be progressive or subversive in the "right" way, so long as they view the inherent fact of our transfemininity as too subversive, too perverse, to exist the first place.

someone got salty that I said some women become mothers out of naked self interest / desire for more victims / free labor & called it a bad take. well. it's not a take it's an observation. some women even use their own children to secure pedophile mates and act as their children's pimps. there is nothing inherently sacred or sanctifying about motherhood & the people who want to pretend otherwise are often the ones who cry crocodile tears for sacred Motherhood when accused of (enabling) abuse

Daily reminder: Transphobia actively contributes to sexism. If you don’t fit the beauty standard and are seen as masculine in any way shape or form, you are seen as transgender and as a “problem”

pisshandkerchief

I think it's incredibly important here to not overlook the fact that she is a Black woman. Transphobia, racism, and sexism overlap significantly because of the incredibly eurocentric beauty standards women are judged on.
