"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."
"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
I think this is something young people in particular are confused about. My dad has always had a slightly off color sense of humor, he always feels the need to privately ask me “boy turned girl or girl turned boy?” if I mention a friend and stress said friend’s pronouns, and yet when we had repair work done in the house and the worker was listening to a podcast discussing the evils of transgender people and how to cleanse society, he went out of his way to contact the owner of the business to discuss his disappointment with that worker’s conduct and stress the negative effect that could have had if there had been trans kids in our home.
Our allies will never be perfect. They will never use the perfect language or have the perfect politics. But we have to appreciate those allies and meet them where they are, especially if they are willing to learn.
seeing the terms “bad rep” and “good rep” applied to media that was created by and for an in-group makes me want to eat glass
“not sure if this is a good representation of the trans community :/“ right well a trans person made it, and they made it for other trans people, so. perhaps that logic is not applicable here. must we live our entire creative lives under the watchful eye of Cisgender Scrutiny? how can you compare self-expression to willful misrepresentation lmao
To all my trans friends, in any stage of your transition from just questioning if you might be trans to those who have been fully transitioned for several years,
• You are amazing.
• You look great.
• You are passing.
• You're going to be okay.
I hope your day goes well for you.
I hope you enjoy your pockets!!!!
While taking a nap today I dreamt there was a hazard sign called "never found" which was used to indicate a location where people disappeared never to be seen again
Molting season is here,
and many birds are shedding part of their feathers in various spots to grow new ones. They do this now because their skin gets exposed, and warm weather makes being partially naked a lot easier. I always love this part of the year because nobody molts in the same way and the textures and colors are pretty cool to see. Yes, those awkward holes are their ears!
Ricky discovering how much he enjoys competition and rivalry does not bode well for Steven in the next season of Too Many Spirits...
its over for sticky im afraid
The difference between Ryan and Shane’s instagram bios will never not be funny to me
In honour of disability pride month, we made a disability Pride Knight! Stay proud! ⚔️🌈
ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS
- i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.
- there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.
- there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.
- doing nothing is good for my soul.
- i am not defined by what i produce.
- my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.
- i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.
- i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.
love that ryan shane and steven dont have active public accounts on tumblr, so either we are here with tumblr user wearewatcher as a babysitter, or they are lurking. stalking.
I have this theory that Shane is everywhere. Behind wearewatcher. Lurking on a personal account or two (sockpuppets, one might even say). Reading the comments on their vids. At the table behind you at Panera.
This isn't to imply that Shane has creeper energy. What he has is chaotic energy. There's too much of Shane to be contained in one physical person. That's why he's got so many puppets - they're full of secrets Shane-energy. Shanergy.
So, yeah. Shane is everywhere. Shane is all of us. You could walk into your house and find Shane in your living room, making friends with your parents and asking what's the deal with cousins, and you wouldn't even be surprised.
But, I mean, it's just a theory.
obsessed with shanergy. he is multiple people, puppets, if you will. he is a different kind of cryptid. not one entity, but many, and they look too normal to set off any alarms. he doesn't even set off the uncanny valley feeling. he's evolved past that.
he is just chaotically around. surveying, watching. multiple puppets, but only one puppeteer. no ill intent. but he is around. maybe around the corner, you'll hear a distant, "this is my smile dog".
yeah to all this tbh
