Friendly Reminders To Cis Fanfic Writers That Afab≠woman

I feel like people forget most trans guys still had to grow up as girls.

We were still forced to be mature early

We were still told to not to take up space

We were still subject to female beauty standards

Our bodies were still treated as inappropriate

We were still pitted against each other

We were still excluded from “male” activities

We were still treated as lesser the boys

Those things don’t evaporate once we transition they’re fucking internalized. I constantly have to remind myself I’m allowed to exist. We don’t stop dealing with misogyny.

If you consume fanfic on ao3 and are 18+ and American I need you to lock in and call your senators saying you oppose a federal porn ban. This would effectively ban ao3 and being queer in public, among many other things, due to the intentionally vague language of the bill. I’m counting on queer tumblr and fandom tumblr to help me get the word out that you have to call your senators

And when you ask anyone to just be a little more inclusive it's suddenly "WE WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT TRANS MEN WHEN WE SAID ALL MEN!!!!" like they didn't just out themselves as not seeing trans men as men.

im actually so tired of trans men being so completely left out if the convo abt reproductive rights

thinking about the Trans teen who was murdered by his classmates not too long ago, who was referred to as “they” and “she” in every news outlet to downplay his identity.

The reason we don’t show up is because we’re “delusional women” according to the people MAKING THE STATISTICS.

its the same reason the 40% statistic for cops isn’t accurate and that’s because it only observed REPORTED accounts.

Hey, if you’re saying that transandrophobia isn’t real because trans men aren’t as oppressed as other trans people

And your evidence is that there aren’t as many trans men in history and that trans men don’t show up in public statistics as much

I need you to sit down, and think very very hard about why a population that consists of people who are considered to be women, property, barely not children, would not show up in statistics as trans men

I work in a theater. The men I meet have always been the kindest people in the building. Shoutout to the lead male actor who asked me what I’d done for the day and, when I told him it was my birthday, quietly notified the stage manager so I could get a birthday shout out. Acknowledgment to the man who came and found me after my mom gave him flowers so he could thank me personally for even suggesting the idea to my mom and then hug me. And extra love to the male directors who have only ever kindly corrected my mistakes and guided me. All the love to my guy friends who are the goofiest goobers known to man

painting an entire population as evil inherently (whether it’s because of trauma or not) with make you a lonely, empty, person.

I see the radfems out there saying that every man who's ever been born is a psychopath who's constantly looking for an opportunity to commit a felony and then I remember this one time I was really struggling to get a shopping cart out of another shopping cart and a dude came over to help me, but he couldn't do it, and then another dude came over to help him, and then another came over because it was a challenge he wanted in on, and then I had 3 guys all tearing at a stuck shopping cart, and literally none of them even needed a cart.

And when they got it out, they fist pumped and I said thanks so much and one of them said "easy." And then they left.

And it's like.

I don't think radfems go outside.

I adore him ❤️

Some old never posted sketches of a homebrewed Batman AU I was crafting alchemy-like by taking my favorite aspects of each incarnation and putting them in a blender until smooth and emulsified.

I truly do not care if it "ruins your immersion". YOU NEED TO TAG UNREALITY PROJECTS. Sure, some people are able to discern that it's not true, but you are still presenting (oftentimes horrific) concepts to a wide audience as truth. presenting the idea of "This creature will hunt you down if it knows that you're think about it" to a child or someone who already struggles with discerning what is reality without properly allowing them to brace themselves is CRUEL. It's the same idea of knocking someone who has mobility issues over without warning just because "well my other friends who don't have mobility issues can just get back up"

Bruce: "Of course, chum."

12 year old Dick: "Hey Clark, do you think when you get married, I can be your best man?"

Clark: "I don't see why not."

25 year old Dick: "In my defence, I had no way of knowing you'd end up marrying each other."

yeah
