How many trans men and transmasc people do we not know the names of because they were victims of infanticide since people wanted heirs? How many were married off as soon as possible, forced to have children, and either died in childbirth or forced to be mothers? How many were considered insane or witches or possessed by the devil for daring to be masculine? How many unnamed people throughout history are there that we don't know about? How many unnamed people now in the present day do we not know about because they're still going through this? Because Western, "developed", imperial powers are not the only places that trans people exist.
is there such a thing as a beta but instead of reading for line edits or plot notes, they just read my work and recommend what tags to put on ao3 outside of like. warnings.
Lulu's Totally Unofficial Guide to the Top 10 Freeform Tags to Add to Your Fanfic
Genre - Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Slice of Life, Case Fic, etc.
AU - If it's an AU, what kind? What role do each of the characters play? How is it different to their canon role?
Parts of canon - If it's not an AU, what part of canon is it about? Is it set before, during or after a particular episode?
Themes - Are there any topics or ideas which you are trying to explore, or which come up repeatedly?
Minor Warnings - Is there anything you think you should warn for that isn't included in the archive warnings?
Format & Length - Is your work art, video, podfic, etc? Does it use a particular format like a Drabble or 5+1?
Characters - What is going on with each of your major characters? If you had to describe them with one or two adjectives, what would you pick? (Format as [Adjective] [Character Name].)
Relationships - What is going on with each of your major relationships? Are there any relationship tropes like Slow Burn or Enemies to Lovers in your story?
Tropes - Are there any tropes or common story elements in your story that haven't been tagged yet? If your work was on TV tropes, what are the first things you would add?
Sex - If your work includes sex, what kink(s) and specific act(s) does it involve?
Remember: you can always look at the drop-down menu for suggestions. But! If you want to tag something that doesn't appear on the drop-down menu, you can & should write in a new tag!
This is a good guide!
This is one of the things r/ao3 is actually pretty helpful for, in fact I think centrumlumina's guide is almost word-for-word match for advice that i see posted regularly on there. Its also great for "here's a thing that happens in my story/i want to warn readers about, is there a tag for that?" (Or even "this tag i already know about doesn't suit my purposes for xyz reasons. What can i do instead?")
Something I keep thinking about is how a lot of people consider it a good thing that children cannot by themselves consent (or refuse consent) to medical treatments. Some people do kinda get it that maybe it might be a problem with stuff like kids not being able to access trans healthcare, or kids being refused vaccination by antivaxx parents. But in general I see that most people are actually okay with this idea for the most part.
And like... you do get that that is kinda insane, right?
Because this is something that so often leads to suffering. And I am saying this as someone disabled, who had so many issues due to this in his childhood.
Just three examples: when I was 7, I was supposed to get checked for autism. My mother did not want an autistic child. Since she just could have a "neurotypical" child by refusing diagnosis, she did just that.
When I was 12, my mother had decided I needed a certain plastic surgery (one that had a minor health benefit, but still was largely a beauty thing). I did not want it. I really, really did not want it. We still went through almost the entire process until thankfully there was a doctor who went: "Wait, this is elective. I am refusing to do this on a child that does not want it."
And when I was 14 my mother refused to get me to the hospital when I had severe food poisoning. She refused me hospital treatment for almost two weeks. By the time I got actually taken to the hospital I was almost dead.
And here is the thing: all of this should just not happen. The doctor when I was 12 was cool, but... he refused to do the surgery because he had the right to make a conscience call. Legally my mother was in the right to force me into that elective surgery. And that just should not be the case.
A lot of children die and suffer due to their legal inability to consent - or refuse consent - to medical treatments. And I wish y'all would understand that.
Whenever this is brought up, people will go: "Oh, but parents will decide what is best for the child." And here is the thing: No, they are not. There is so much stuff out there showing that indeed, a lot of parents suck at this. Some out of malice, some because they are religious nuts, and some because they literally treat their kids like some sort of doll or some shit.

what people donβt understand about how adhd is disabling is that itβs not just getting temporarily distracted from, like, school work or hobbies. itβs getting distracted/being unable to motivate yourself to go to the doctor, eat regularly, do hygiene tasks, etc. itβs not knowing when or how long it will take you to do something, ANYTHING, and in many cases that thing is taking a shower or keeping your house from turning into a biohazard. itβs about being fundamentally incapable of controlling your attention and focus on anything, even and especially things you need to do to survive.
I'm sorry but when did we move away from "Access to hrt and surgery is a privilege" because we should probably move back to that one
that depends on what you mean by privilege and how you intend to apply the concept. some view privilege as having greater access to our full human rights, but some view privilege as part of oppressive power, meaning that if acting on the access doesn't oppress others, it's not "privilege" in the context of systemic oppression.
getting hrt or surgery does not oppress those who can't, but some of the other systems that create that inequality are oppressive. my access to gender medicine is not oppressive, but my position as a US citizen is, and it's part of how i have access to that kind of medicine. so from one perspective, the medicine is not the privilege in itself, but it is partly a result of privilege.
however in general use i think most people have heard of "privilege" in the sense of "it's a privilege, not a right," and in that case gender medicine is not a privilege, but simply access to our rights that too few of us have
imo because the second definition of privilege is more widely understood it makes more sense to use that one, to be more inclusive of people new to these conversations. otherwise there is a lot of confusion about how having basic rights is considered "privileged," as though it's some kind of bonus or reward.
as for acknowledging that various forms of transition are not equally available to people, that's important, under-recognized while we continually center the smaller number of people who actually have access to these forms of care, and, please tell me if im misinterpreting this, the actual point that op is trying to make
Sorry I didn't see this reblog until now, but I've specifically talking about how to access to something like surgery or insurance or HRT is a privilege that not everyone is afforded.
Privilege-the kind I'm talking about would be like access to clean drinking water. You're not getting this privilege by oppressing others, you're just accessing something that others might not be able to get because you might live in an area that has good public water pipes or something. It's a conditional privilege and it is a human right- It's both things
I get that we might be talking about different kinds of privilege, but my original post was a criticism of "cissexual privilege" or being trans without medically transitioning- whether or not that person wants to
While it is true that the majority of people are more familiar with the meaning of the regular word βprivilegeβ, it is nonetheless distinct from the social justice theory term βprivilegeβ. I understand the urge to use the definition of the regular word instead of the term because thatβs what is most familiar to the general public. However, the whole reason we use social justice theory terms when discussing social justice theory is to make sure everyone is on the same page. Unfortunately, the regular word βprivilegeβ has too much wiggle room in what it means to be useful when discussing theory. We canβt have productive conversations if people have different ideas of what a term means.
Generally speaking, the easiest way to identify the widely accepted meaning of a theory term is to find how it was originally defined.
White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack by Peggy McIntosh, the original article on privilege that I have been able to find, describes both kinds of privilege mentioned by @homeless-dionysus. McIntosh specifically refers to them as βunearned advantageβ (things which should be an βunearned entitlementβ but currently arenβt) and βconferred dominanceβ (things that βwork to systematically over empower certain groupsβ). Since sheβs explaining this concept in the context of white privilege, I think itβs very fair to say that both types count as privilege in the context of systemic oppression.
Given that I have consistently seen recent articles use the term privilege to refer to both unearned advantage and conferred dominance, I would be incredibly surprised if this is somehow no longer the case.
I highly recommend that everyone read this article. Itβs only three pages long and I think it does a good job of making it very clear what privilege is and what it isnβt.
Thank you! I will certainly read the article. I like the conversation and input from everyone.!

letd go eat parts of that guys car
Anyway here's a shark smokin' a FAT DOINT
Happy Pride to all the beautiful gay fat people in my phone, letβs get even fatter and gayer this month!
the reason I'm so very certain that I'm on the right side of history is that I've seen this pattern play out several times by now
remember ace discourse? remember how people got really comfortable just openly mocking ace people, saying they were all homophobic, claiming they weren't really lgbt...
if you remember how poorly ace discourse aged, look at how transmascs are being treated right now and tell me it's not the exact same phenomenon

Hello, Tumblr user. Here's a non-binary character who uses they/them. Their ASAB isn't relevant at all for the story and everyone regardless of relationship uses they/them for them and they're trans. Your challenge will be to not try to sniff out their ASAB. Go---- oh you're already telling other people who don't agree with you they're wrong and bigoted for hcing it different from you. Okay.
