i think cis girls can have a packer as a treat

all queer history on here is just US-American or maybe sometimes some UK history as well and it makes me sad that there’s so little information about other countries’ queer history on here :(

Hey if you’re into TTRPGs at all, or really wanna help trans youth in Texas, I highly recommend checking out this bundle on itchio! You can get nearly 500 games, tools, and supplements, a nearly $3000 value, for FIVE DOLLARS! Please consider donating to a great cause and getting a ridiculous amount of games!!!!!

JKR literally wrote a manifesto against nonbinary people and trans men, and smeared autistic people while she was at it, so can y'all please stop acting like the JKR bullshit is somehow an issue unique to trans women only?

Stop acting like this isn't a community-wide issue that affects ALL trans people. Especially autistic trans people.

Our trans brothers & nonbinary siblings in the UK deserve better than this. Stop forgetting them. Stop erasing them.

It makes me so, so angry when I see those posts that are like "HORRIFYING EARLY PLASTIC SURGERY RESULTS FROM WW2," because all of those lists are full of images that aren't the final result and are used for pure shock value. Harold Gillies, who performed most of those surgeries, was an incredibly talented surgeon. Here are some images of the full results of his surgeries.

I need to emphasize that I can't post the "before" pictures that go with these because the men did not have faces. The injuries were so extensive that these men were missing nearly all of their facial features, and through cutting-edge techniques that "looked scary" at the time (e.g. extensive skin grafts), Gillies saved these men from a medical nightmare.

Gillies performed the world's first ftm bottom surgery for trans man Michael Dillon and pioneered mtf bottom surgery! Respect his legacy.

i’m thinking tonight about masterpieces. michelangelo looked at the sixtine chapel and saw; nothing to preserve. virgil wanted his aenid burned and forgotten; only to be saved at the behest of an emperor who thought it flattery. kafka instructed his friend to burn everything he’d ever written - too personal was it, too unfinished.

they were ignored.

instead, their work was taken and held and published and thrown to be gawked at. instead, an emperor, a pope, a friend, took from within the cavities of them their choices; their art.

tumblr rolls out post+. twitter rolls out tip jars. youtube takes half of what creators earn. on social media, there is a ko-fi or a patreon and a polished face in every bio. i show my poems to my mother and she asks if I will publish them before she says anything else. emily dickinson instructed her sister to burn her poetry.

her sister did not listen.

we are a community, says tumblr, we should give back to creators. my last poem had 50 notes. six of those were reblogs that weren’t mine. i lie in bed at 2am and stare at my bright phone screen and the way netflix’s library grows thinner and thinner. the first ad on tumblr that i can reblog is for amazon. amazon takes more than half of what authors earn.

kafka’s friend took barely finished work and hammered it into structure. he is the only reason we know of him.

my father wrote a book and a play when I was barely big enough to reach his knees. when i try to talk to him about writing, he shrugs.

no one wanted to publish it, he says. so i don’t write anymore.

i am filled with poems I have never published, books I haven’t written. There are little snippets of them scattered throughout my life. I link to my ko-fi on my tumblr.

asked capitalism of the artist: what is art, if not for consumption? who does art benefit, if it is not consumed? why create at all if you do not market it? who are you, frothing at the mouth about someone publishing someone else’s poems? who are you to hate your magnum opus? what is art, if not in relation to its reception? if no one sees it, how is it art?

said the artist, baring their teeth: it’s mine.

Shinjuku Boys (1995). Tatsu, a transgender man, jokes with his barber about his changing appearance, and his newly masculine features.

TRANSCRIPT:

BARBER: So you go regularly to the hospital for your hormone injection? TATSU: [nods] BARBER: Does it hurt? TATSU: Not at all. BARBER: You have more facial hair. It must be the hormones. You’ll get a moustache soon. TATSU: I’ll look distinguished! They’ve made quite the difference. I never thought I’d change so much. Most customers say I’m like a man. BARBER: Really? TATSU: [laughing] They say, “You look like a man. You’re not cute.” BARBER: [laughs]

END TRANSCRIPT.

"just not seeing enough people talking about carl clemons-hopkins, the first out nonbinary actor to be nominated for an emmy, and the nonbinary flag gown they wore last night"

Carl Clemons-Hopkins on IMDB

Hi! I have been frantically searching for a fic for a while and you always have good luck with it so I am turning to your audience for help.

Okay so it's marvel and starts when Thor and loki and Tony and Steve have just flattened the trees in the first avengers. Thor sees Loki's eyes are blue and suspects foul play. I remember they break him free and are more prepared for the chitauri and find out about Thanos early and make preparations. It had a pretty big word count but I can't remember the name or anything.

🥺Please help!Thanks!🥺

"if you want a HP shirt/necklace/earrings/whatever, make your own!!" except if you wear it in public, you're still promoting jkr

"if you want to read the books, just get them from your library!" except libraries pay attention to what people take out, and you are still supporting an author if you library their books

"just play the games!" money goes to her for that

"well, just stream the movies!" she gets money for that

"well, you can always only tell your friend group about HP--" your friends are people! you are promoting HP to other people!

JKR is transphobic. She hates trans people. Just the other day she tweeted something transphobic--specifically, transmisogynistic. In the past she's been transphobic to all types of trans people. She's also bigoted in many other ways.

There are better series. There are other series. Stop coming up with ways to keep the books and fandom alive.

Trans lives are more important than harry potter.

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.

go!

Upon closer inspection (I found it on youtube) I have decided that I would both die and kill for Glam and his wife. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Since they don’t teach gay sex ed in school let me tell gay guys and anyone else that wants to use the back door that douching is bad for you. It will cause long term problems.

Also starving yourself all day will not work because sometimes it can take up to two or three days for something to move through you.

Just eat a bunch of fiber and use the bathroom at least an hour or two before your booty call if you can. If you hate eating fiber just get yourself some fiber pills to take with meals. If you eat enough fiber the section after the colon should remain relatively clean on its own. Just wash the outside part. Not your insides. Those clean themselves.

Also if he shames you for anything that happens by accident in the bedroom and/or refuses to use a condom he’s a jerk-wad and an idiot and you should dump him.

My spearmint brings all the he/shes to the yard, and they're like

"Why do you have so much mint"

Keep seeing pronoun positivity posts is about he/they and she/theys. That's cool and all but this one's for the she/hes. If you're a she/he I love you and you can take as much mint as you want from our garden

Oh no...my hand slipped...

BOOST!

So proud of my mother for doing her own research after I sent her that meme. A sign she hung in her car window.

[Image ID: A little boy in a blue shirt with "Dick the Birthday Boy" on it standing next to a mascot of unknown species (probably a rat). On the table in front of him is a cake and a little girl sits on the table looking at the cake. End ID]

I did a very quick, sketchy comic because I was extremely inspired by this post. (Credit to @pinkdiamondprince for the original post.)

The entire analogy was just fantastic and so, so accurate, and I wanted to make a comic for it, even if it’s very sketchy because my attention span is nil.

My gender today is tol spooky metalhead fren. I believe this is from Metal Family...idk what that is but after scrolling through exactly one blog, I have decided I love it.
