I actually am really sick of the focus on trans people who don’t want to transition always being on trans men and tme nonbinary people because like you see all these people get accepted for not wanting to be masculine and not wanting to have deep voices and body hair but never any acceptance for trans women who don’t want to be feminine and have big chests and tuck and wear makeup and shave our faces and that seems kind of suspicious don’t you think. Almost like perceived masculinity is frowned upon in tme-dominated trans spaces. Almost like trans women can’t even exist and do nothing without people associating us with men and maleness

It was just one ant!

A Bug’s Life (1998)

So tired of shallow readings of texts that begin and end with "these two men were gay for each other" ESPECIALLY bc it almost always goes hand in hand with dismissing all female characters out of hand. Yes nick was gay for gatsby but daisy is an extremely important part of novel and gatsby's relationship to her is absolutely vital. Yes goodnight sweet prince is a little fruity but I also care deeply about the tense gender politics of hamlet and ophelia's relationship and her position as a foil to him and also isn't it SO much more interesting if Hamlet really did love her? If he loved her and yet? Like I'm not saying these men aren't gay but it's not worth sacrificing the women of the story

Sans sweep was so powerful the residual shockwaves accidentally killed the fucking queen

Also, happy Antifa mob anniversary

“homophobes and transphobes think lgbtq identities are exclusively about sex, so kinky or sexual lgbtq people shouldn’t be allowed to be visible because that reinforces that association in peoples’ minds” is no different from “lets shame feminine, flamboyant queens because they’re playing into harmful stereotypes”

The fact that I am the only transsexual you know only emphasizes that…we are secretly plotting to take over the planet Earth, and infiltrating your prevailing nontranssexual culture is just our first step
