we have what is basically a transphobic hate group that is actively trying to destroy documentation of trans people's discrimination, but because they're also trans people, somehow I'm the bad one for always talking about it and bringing attention and awareness to this issue
there's a flat out hateful extremist group in our own back yard, but the victims of that hate group are always the ones told to "stop infighting" (despite never throwing the first punch basically ever). nobody holds any of them accountable. they get rewarded, in fact.
they get rewarded with media attention and supporters and their entire gfms paid off so they can buy a new multi thousand dollar gaming computer, meanwhile a mutual of mine over on tumblr (likely, Ansel still hasnt been found) killed himself a few weeks ago due to economic stress
@therapatical@C0BR4H The tone is also no different than the way people speak to women they find stupid. I haven't gained special respect as a trans man. I'm still talked down to with the only difference being pronouns and just how many type of people speak to me this way.
You will survive a fictional character being labeled various trans/queer identities among queer fans I promise you. This is the artists insecurities and personal problem to deal with.
I think it's weirder to treat a fictional character like a real person being misrepresented when the issue you have is that you don't like someone else's personal headcanon that makes them feel seen. There's more emotion given to this fictional character than the "real" person.
i need non aspecs to imagine lacking something that the world sees as "fundamentally human"
living in a world where having a romantic partner is the natural progression of life, but youre straight up just not built for that
@therapatical@gambitbussie It's always those people who have the deepest internalized misogyny and think "but I'm a woman" somehow cancels that out. Yeah some of the worst casual misogyny and reinforced misogyny is done by other women congrats.
What he hates next about her is the fact he literally paid for there to be some sort of manipulation of the sperm to make a son because he didn't want daughters. His investment failed & transphobes/Elon fans constantly refer to her as "Elon's son/child" to enforce ownership
I know this is exaggerated and it also obviously didn't apply to me when my mom was marrying her last husband but his natural BO was SO BAD for me that I was rolling down the car window in the winter. He was a clean man, I just could not stand him.
Why do so many young/not-yet-passing trans men think baggy clothes are masculine/help you pass? If you have a small frame, baggy clothes make you look tiny
@PrinceOceanusVT@GitarooManOne He didn't burn his own house down. He had been under attack for over a year. I don't think it should be hard to feel sympathy for a man who was murdered in a hate crime. Ffs
Holy fuck it's been a year already. This is still so awful and heartbreaking and seeing how many people in my own community didn't take this seriously...
1 year ago today, Jonathan Joss was murdered in a homophobic hate crime.
Best known for voicing John Redcorn, Jonathan was a memorable part of many fans’ childhoods and will not be forgotten.
He died defending his partner after his house was burned down and his dog was murdered.
His partner is a trans man.
Jonathan should still be here, at home, with his family.
But im told that we dont need pride.
@LeoRaven49@GitarooManOne As far as I know his husband is still alive because he spoke about it afterwards. He was the initial target and Johnathon protected him, dying in the process.
the whole "trans men who wanna look like women" drama thats happening on here is making me realize most people, including a lot of trans people, think transgenderism is the act of transitioning and not The Fact That Your Brain Is Not Aligning With Your Body
If you're gonna mourn him, maybe make sure to point out he died defending his TRANS HUSBAND TOO. I bet he'd be incredibly disappointed in y'all for neglecting to describe the attack he lost his life to was both homophobic and transphobic.
