at night a prayer of death

one of the most frustrating thing is being treated like expressing your opinion abt things is being like controlling or abusive or malevolent in some way. idk why this is something that happens to transfeminized ppl a lot but fsr it is. i've seen ppl get HALed for talking shit abt a fucking play on socmed. i've had ppl treat me like i was judging them and taking over their life bc i talked abt not having the same religious beliefs and not wanting others' religious beliefs applied to me. it's so fucking idk what to even say abt it it's like we are not allowed to have and express our own opinions and if what we think contrasts with others then it is an attack on them. that we do not actually do anything to even try to control what others do means nothing if someone feels that we are. it's so fucking exhausting to have ppl constantly assign you as an Arbiter Of Morality And Conduct because you speak your mind on things and then treat you as responsible and to blame for their own fucking complexes. and ofc the answer to this kind of bootstrapped dilemma is fucking always excision

ideologically opposed to hopecore media

really seeing the difference in how tme nonbinary people are treated vs tma nonbinary people demonstrated concisely in the promo material/interviews coming out ahead of teenage sex and death at camp miasma & how comments are needing to be limited or turned off only on videos of jane schoenbrun speaking and not on those of jack haven

also i somewhat suspect that the smaller scale harassment & smearing calling schoenbrun a pedophile for making a movie with the words "teenage sex" in the title will go a little more mainstream post-release and when you're talking about how stupid this is i need you to recognize that it is specifically happening because the director is transfem and not simply as the result of a nebulous "cultural puritanism"

i low-key hate it when authors or ttrpg designers randomly throw a set of neopronouns into their fantasy setting to feel like they are being Progressive and Inclusive without doing any work or thought. make up actual gender lore or fuck off

like you can come up with the entire history of the Elf Kingdoms or whatever but when it comes to gender norms and how people might challenge or defy those norms youre like "yeah its probably exactly like the modern anglophone lgbt scene"? come on amiguita you're being lapped posthumously by terry pratchett !
