Previously Understanding Privilege

@queerhalfhobbit / queerhalfhobbit.tumblr.com

Hi, I'm Tristan. Fat, bisexual, and autistic. Genderqueer lady-person. White and middle-class. Able-bodied. Cis-passing and dyadic privileges. I'm making an effort to understand privilege, oppression, and intersectionality. (And trying to be an ally. Please call me out if I'm failing at it.) This has always been a personal blog, and it's sort of drifted from its original purpose. I still blog about social justice stuff, but you'll also see a lot about fandoms and my life here. (P.S. I am a literal helicopter, but don't let that weird you out.)

I'm currently doing this thing I do where I distance myself from any community I'm part of and ignore anything or anyone I associate with it, so sorry. (I think it might have something vaguely to do with PTSD?) In any case, I probably won't be around here for a while. But it's no one's fault, I'm okay as I ever was, and I'm hoping to come back once I get myself on more stable emotional ground.

Being from New England automatically give you three traits:

1. Being able to swear up a storm

2. The ability to flip someone off while driving

3. An ability to detect black ice 

Don’t forget the ability to spot a Dunkin Donuts from a mile away.

Or the natural instinct to get tense when someone mentions the Red Sox vs. The Yankees 

I want an alternative to 'enby'. I want one so bad. Enby is cute and I love that it exists and that it fits some people's needs. But. It doesn't really fit me? And using it doesn't make me feel comfortable the way I want it to.

So does anyone know of any alternatives?

i truly genuinely feel sorry for all the people who try to talk to me and get disappointed and upset because i probably sound like i don’t want to talk to them when i actually just don’t know what to say I’M SORRY

just a heads up, if i ever weird you out on any level, too friendly, too flirty, anything at all, i encourage you to be very vocal towards me about it to make sure i dont continue to make you uncomfortable. i dont want anyone feeling like im not someone they can trust and be comfortable around.

someone wrote a post about forgetting to take their medication which reminded me to take mine whenever I mention medication people end up commenting saying ive reminded them

so this is a friendly reminder for us to take our medications

thank you

everyone is making gendeer, and i think it’s mega cute, so here’s mine!

he likes pretty things and flowers, but he also isn’t afraid to get his hooves bloody.

(i’m not very good at drawing deer legs, gomen)

Woah, lovely! I love the soft coloured lines and posture! And the colours go so well! Great job!!
