The Bad Impression

@thebadimpression

They/them. Queer. Feminist. Activist.

We find it extremely funny how apparently the way Transformers writers solved the weird discrepancy between how many male and female Cybertronians there are was to just go. "Hey, they're an asexual species anyways. What if they're all born with masc-leaning presentation, but once they came in contact with aliens that have sexual dimorphism, some of them were like 'Yoooooo girl is an option?????' and started going by she." So every femformer is canonically a trans girl now.

new robot genders just dropped: default, and Having Fun With It

As a lesbian, it’s happened twice already that one “guy” stands out to me and I think “huh maybe they’re kinda cute and interesting, I wanna get to know them” and then I get to know them better and it’s a closeted trans girl who I somehow sniffed with my little nonbinary lesbian nose

IT JUST HAPPENED FOR A THIRD TIME!!!!

You guys will never believe what just happened to me

What does it mean if every “man” I’ve been attracted to was actually a trans woman? Idk what this says about my sexual orientation but it does mean I have astounding egg-dar

Gays being able to detect trans people of our preferred gender and being able to feel preemptive attraction to them is a phenomenon I was not aware extended to people beyond me

"what's your dream job??" Uhh to have 17 weird little hobbies that I don't have to be good at and hang out with friends. I get money via being the world's specialist little princess

Imagine a world where homosexuality was still in the DSM but society had moved gradually toward some moderate acceptance of queer people, but only with the understanding that we are sick and that leading out our queer lives is medically necessary for us. in this paradigm, a person would have to get diagnosed with homosexuality by a psychiatrist in order to be permitted to have gay sex

this is basically the reality that trans people are living in right now. and that's for those of us that are lucky enough to live in a place where we *are* allowed to lead out trans lives once we get gender dysphoria written down in our medical charts

Things I want more than a Harry Potter reboot

  • an adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey where the two main characters are played by botflies
  • 16 new seasons of Game of Thrones
  • the secret final episode of Sherlock, in which it turns out that it was all a dream and John died in Afghanistan and hallucinated the entirety of the show in his last few moments before his family turned off his life support
  • a Supernatural reboot starring all of the original cast except that John Winchester is played by Dame Judi Dench, for reasons of feminism
  • tinnitus
  • an album of Beethoven’s Greatest Hits using the sound of freight trains in various keys to mimic the dulcet tones of a violin
  • an adaptation of Twilight where they’re not vampires, they’re weregoats
  • 65 identical YA novels where Persephone totally loves being in Hades, honest, also for reasons of feminism
  • another white man James Bond
  • a change in the law making it compulsory for every single human between the ages of 21-26 to compete on Love Island
  • legally mandated Twitter Blue
  • a hip-hop duet between Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Elon Musk
  • a decades-long, 100% faithful adaptation of the most beloved children’s book series of all time: The Famous Five
  • for JK Rowling to purchase a one way ticket into the fucking sun
  • a remake of The Princess Bride as a dark, humourless fantasy starring Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson
  • Eurovision to be cancelled again
  • a papercut between every single one of my fingers

A Checklist Of Possible Reasons I Am Upset, To Review When I Can't Seem To Figure It Out:

  • did not eat
  • new hyperfixation and no time for it
  • have not done a creative in 24 hrs
  • Bad Sounds
  • clothes are touching my body
  • cold
  • people
  • one (1) comment is stuck in my brain like a popcorn kernel
  • last time I drank water was ??????
  • nervous nervous nervous nervous
  • got a Slightly Worse grade than expected
  • last hug was ??????
  • slept a full 45 minutes
  • lonely ............
  • guts are shredding (again)
  • have not seen sunlight in 24 hrs
  • stuck inside
  • too much screen time
  • Yay Overwhelm
  • room is disaster area
  • have not talked to Person in a while
  • bored
  • imposter phenomenon (again)
  • no current routine
  • how long have I been working???
  • Too Much Socialization

and then. and THEN. I may consider:

  • something is actually wrong

generally not super into shapeshifter characters being revealed to have like a singular True Form. isnt it much more interesting to imagine a creature so fluid and ever-changing that even they cant identify any one body as the "true" self, or simply dont see the need to?

is this you? yes. this one too? yes. but then which one is the real you? define "real" define "you" theyre all me. even the ones that are someone else? especially those.

tip: everything you pretend to becomes a part of what you are and even the facade you wear for the sake of deception reveals a crucial truth.

also: the self is a multi-faceted, ever-shifting thing

This is exactly what I mean when I say the society even more “progressive” societies are inherently ableist

and this is why i’ll never get officially diagnosed as autistic cos governments are insidious & its literally volunteering to be discriminated against

Darn shame if this circulated…

So you mean to tell me that just by reblogging this I’m ruining an organizations plan, wasting them money, and uncovering some shitbag humans awful behaviour?

T R I P L E K I L L

Imagine if they paid THAT much money, yet it still circulated on the internet.

Wouldn’t that be unfortunate?

Extremely unfortunate we wouldn’t want that to happen

btw you can use whatever gender seasonings you want. paint your nails, wear breast forms, wear a binder, pack, tuck, dress however you want, whatever. you are adding ingredients to your gender soup.
