hey im getting a vibe this isnt about nicknames

for those who don’t understand - the user’s name is in red due to an extension called Shingami Eyes that highlights transphobic accounts and sites in red (as well highlighting trans-positive ones in green)

a meditation on boundaries

theunitofcaring:

i. 

Back when I thought I was straight I would go on dates with boys. The boys would usually want to kiss me. I disliked kissing, but I thought that their preferences deserved to count as much as mine, and I reasoned that they probably liked kissing more than I disliked kissing. So kissing was a morally good thing to do. I also reasoned that if I told them I disliked the kissing then they’d feel guilty and enjoy it less. So I did not tell them. 

I am certain I was making some kind of critical error but it has taken me a long time to figure out what it might be.

ii.

I like cuddling. I know some straight girls who like cuddling with their straight female friends but don’t want to cuddle with people who might be attracted to them because it makes them uncomfortable. But they don’t want to explicitly tell me this preference because they’re worried it’s homophobic. Ever since I learned that this dynamic was present in at least one friendship of mine I have not cuddled with any straight girls because there’s a plausible scenario in which I’d be making them uncomfortable and they wouldn’t tell me

Keep reading

So this is a very long post and I love it but I know some people don’t read posts this long so I’m going to write out the thing I took away from this which is a very great thing.

Even if your preferences are influenced by ‘societal bias’, you don’t have to violate them.

If something physically intimate is making you uncomfortable, you don’t have to keep doing it even if it’s just because your brain has been indoctrinated.

Your bodily autonomy and right to be comfortable trumps everything, and other people have no right to your body, no matter what their needs.

If you violate/ignore your own boundaries, or feel obligated to do it, it will end up worse, it will end up doing more harm in the end than any accidental microaggression that results from enforcing them.

You should strive to not be an asshole about it.

But keeping your own body to yourself is not being an asshole, not ever.

(I’ve also uploaded this version of the design to INPRNT, Society6, and Redbubble)

popping in to say that for the past 6 months I’ve used this post as an indicator of when to check the news because it spikes in notes every time there is a major world event

Here’s a picture of the print I bought, hanging at the end of the comics/manga shelves in the Teen area of my library.

Ive come up with the phrase “blorbo-in-law” which is a fictional character who isn’t, like, YOUR blorbo from YOUR shows but it is your mutual’s blorbo who you nevertheless have developed strong opinions about due to long term dash exposure

I know we all go to fanfics for more stories about our faves, but tell me about an oc from a fic you’ve read who lives in your mind rent free.

(And if you haven’t, tell that fic’s writer about it, too– trust me, they’d love to hear it!)

transmeds never can understand the invisibility of black trans people. ever in their life.

when you are black and trans, no one believes you, no matter your identity or type of transition, the white trans community seems to think that black people being trans isnt real.

a transmeds view on what is means to be a man or a woman is 100% white. down to the personality, clothes, and culture. for them what is “cis passing” is all based on a white cis man or woman. it is one of many reasons why their mentality is harmful, it serves white supremacy.

Holy shit this entire post is something that I wish countless white folks (especially white trans folks) understood.

Also the part about “cis passing” being based on cis white men and women is so true because Black features are constantly masculinized and associated with masculinity, often times to degrade Black people (especially Black women).
