tucker carlson implies the existence of a girlbulge carlson
oh boy, incoming bisexual discourse
so this is admittedly quite rambly, but ive been thinking a lot about the stigmatisation of bisexuality within sapphic spaces a lot lately. like, there’s this pervasive expectation that bisexuals will downplay their attraction to men (e.g., the whole “i’m attracted to like every woman and 2 men” and similar), which feels so incredibly hurtful to me.
i think my issue with it stems from the fact that it’s rooted in basically the need to ‘apologise’ for experiencing attraction to men - and masculinity writ large - that bothers me so much as a bisexual. like, i shouldn’t have to apologise or downplay that, yes, i find men attractive - and no, not just uwu submissive soft boys. like, there’s this pervasive issue within queer spaces that results in the demonisation of masculinity and it results in creating this expectation that bisexuals, especially in sapphic spaces, will suppress their attraction to men in a sort of ‘apology’ for it.
and like this is fundamentally biphobic. like, it’s rooted in this expectation that we as bisexuals must downplay and dismiss and apologise for committing the sin of gasp being attracted to men - which is deeply rooted in purity culture. this puritanism creates this notion that being attracted to or, even worse, having past experiences with men taints the individual, which is incredibly harmful. this type of attitude is what hurts bisexuals (and other multi-sexuals), hurts late-bloomer lesbians, hurts mascs, and hurts butches. it fundamentally creates this exclusionary atmosphere that is rooted in this pervasive, inescapable disdain for masculinity.
anyways i'm sure i have more thoughts on this, but thats kinda what's been in my brain lately
(if microlabels. contradictory labels, xenogender, etc. are something you have issue with, then dni please)
my hot take is that i side-eye this whole intellectualisation of queerness sometimes. like, i'm all for discussing and critically examining our identities (bc oh boy wouldn't it be ironic if i wasn't), but i just get the ick with how often we'll explain an identity with a paragraph of text behind it
like, okay, take for example the current discourse around the whole afab transfem/amab transmasc stuff; while, sure, i think explaining *why* someone might feel like that label represents them is helpful, i also feel like we shouldn't *have* to
like, if someone wants to call themselves something, then they can. i do not think there should be an expectation to explain, justify, or defend their reason; the sentence "i feel that this label genuinely represents how i feel" is sufficient
i suppose the reason it bothers me is that i see it disproportionately directed towards people who use microlabels or contradictory labels, and it often tends to imply that the use of such label is not enough, that it must be proven 'legitimate' before it can be accepted
idk, i haven't fully sifted through my thoughts on this (and obv there is a lot of nuance i'm skipping over here), it's just something i've been clocking lately
and let me be clear, i'm not saying you have to agree with these people. like, you're allowed to not want to interact/see/whatever a certain community, i genuinely do not care. but like, that still does not justify creating blind, visceral hatred over it.
and it's not because a lot of these communities targeted, such as radqueers, tend to be younger or neurodivergent, or whatever else (though do keep that in mind); it's that no one deserves this blind hate for simply existing. you're welcome to have a dni for them, you're welcome to want to avoid stuff you don't like, you're welcome to have boundaries, but like consider whether this is a "yeah i don't feel comfortable about this and would like to avoid it when possible" vs a "these people existing is wrong and bad"
the whole “is x valid” discourse is so bizaare to me; like obviously there’s the fact that we’re arguing about whether a person’s existence and identity is valid (especially when queer existence and rights as a whole are under attack), but also just the absurdity of the premise?
like what is the successful outcome here? does anyone genuinely believe that tumblr discourse is going to make someone change their identity? like is a non-binary lesbian gonna be like “you know what, tucutesmasher46 raises a valid point and i’ll re-define my entire identity to align with their stance?” (or is it just the desire to bully and harass people who ‘don’t lesbian correctly?’)
moreover, it’s the disparity between the outrage to the population that confuses me; like, i’ll see posts ranting about rad-queers, and it’s like…guys…you’re worrying about like 30 people on tumblr.

Nex Benedict was a non binary two spirited ingenious 16 year old who died on January 8th 2024 after them and their friend were attacked by three girls in the girls washroom the day prier to their death. Nex had been suspended for so called “fighting” in the washroom when In reality they were being bullied. on the 8th When Nex and their mother Sue Benedict were packing for an appointment Nex suddenly collapsed in there living room Sue their mother quickly called for help. By the time help came Nex was already dead. They were murdered and no one but their family and friends had done anything. When An Oklahoma, lawmaker Tom wood was talking about about the community he called the lgbtq2s+ filth following Nex death. what the fuck Tom wood you say want to protect us kids yet you allow a minor to die and to rub salt in the wound you called their community filth. The only filth here is you Tom you sick bastard. And too Sue Benedict I’m so sorry for your loss from what I’ve heard Your child Nex was a kind person who’s future was taken away from them I wish you the best.
Rest in peace Nex Benedict : January 11th 2008 - February 8th 2024
Something about that cop saying Nex was just as guilty as the girls who beat them up so badly they blacked out and how cops treat native youth.
Something about the media calling it a fight and not a murder, not a hate crime and how MMIWG2S+ are never looked for, never investigated, never seen as victims.
Something about the media portraying them as the aggressor and native youth always being seen as the aggressor, even in death.
Something about the hospital who released them despite going through head trauma and how the medical system ignores native people, and how the medical system was created through experimentation on native people.
Something about trans youth being told to “just leave” and Oklahoma being their homelands.
Something about Oklahoma legislature and two spirit people existing in Oklahoma before Oklahoma existed.
Something about Nex’s Indigenous identity being erased in every news article, every post, and how that was the stated goal of the USA upon which it was founded.
So I've just started reading the third part of Neal Shusterman's series Arc of a Scythe – The Toll, and I believe this is the first time I came across a non-binary/genderfluid character in a book, additionally that beautifully portrayed.
The character's name is Jerico. Jerico is a captain of a great ship. Through the first few paragraphs of that chapter there are no gendered expressions used to describe Jerico (and note that I'm not reading it in English, but in my native, heavily-gendered language), until that moment when one sailor refers to Jerico as "sir", and then quickly corrects himself to "madam", adding, "it was cloudy a moment ago".
I won't explain here the whole setting of that story, but for what you need to know, it is happening in the future when there are some places in the world that function differently from the rest. It is explained that in Madagascar, where Jerico comes from, the concept of gender is not imposed on children. Once they are grown up, they are free to choose whether they feel like men or women, or not to choose at all. Jerico chose the fluidity.
And here's my favourite part. Jerico's gender depends on the weather. When there is sun or stars in the sky, she is a woman. When there are clouds, he is a man. For someone whose everyday life depends so strongly on atmospheric conditions as for a sailor, a captain, I think it's beautiful. I don't know yet what happens to Jerico later in that book, but anyways. Huge respect to the author.

Art of two ocs of mine for a story I'm working on, The Pallas Project!
TLDR about the main two sillies, in these icons;
They both work on The Pallas Project, a surveillance program that became sentient and called itself The Librarian. Virgil leaking data to sneak under her eyes, using the pseudonym "Halcyon". Bass is their best friend/roommate. He tries to pull them away from the danger they themselves got into, but since they’re not backing down, he’s decided he’s coming down with them hand in unlovable hand
Virgil is a 32 yr old research engineer Confident, relaxed, does whatever they think is right even if they’re putting their own health and safety at risk. At first they seem timid and hard to open up, but if one will listen or catches their attention, they'd meet the nerd within, who lives by the rule of cool, and is dedicated to their path and passions. They spent a lot of time in the past in protests.
In a situation of fight or flight, they normally fight until all they have left is to fawn or freeze
Bass is a 30 yr old programmer Timid, pacifist, loyal, sticks by his friend’s sides through thick and thin. Slight rough and tumble side to him. Unfortunately doesn’t make friends much as he has a hard time keeping them due to- past situations. He's changed much since then, into a big ol' teddy bear. But a teenage arson incident doesn't just wipe away, does it?
In a situation of fight or flight, he freezes until there’s no other option but fight
The two had a mutual crush going strong for 12 fuckin years, though after an incident where Virgil lost their arm and nearly died, they finally spat it out Theres so much more to The Pallas Project, too much to ramble here

Making pride pins for my friends! 🏳️🌈
This month I decided to support our community a little by helping those I knew express themselves with some free diy pins! They are made with gouache paints over cardboard with a nail polish coat. If you make one for yourself or a friend (it is a great present, in my opinion) show me!!
Also, sorry for the small disappearance, it just kinda made me sad to see so little attention to my posts, since it takes effort to post them. I'll keep trying!
P. D: I censored my tiktok tag because I don't want it to be linket to my tumblr yet, but I promised I didn't stead this lmao
