Down The Gender River

You Are Not Immune To fanart of characters who die in canon that has them alive and well, with scars from the wound that originally killed them

it really pisses me off when adults sit there and drill it into kids’ heads that their youth is fleeting and tell them things like “enjoy your childhood while it lasts because this is the best it’s gonna get”. why are you telling children that adulthood is the worst thing they can experience? seriously what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you trying to make them feel like growing up is a fate worse than death? trying to convince them their life is over before it even begins? i’m tired of that shit. because tell my why my 12 year old cousin told me when she turns 30 she’ll be so depressed she’s just gonna cry all the time. what the fuck. kids don’t need to hear that their already stressful and overwhelming lives are never going to get better, that the abuse and lack of autonomy they face is apparently the highlight of their lives. they need to hear about adults who are happy to be alive and happy to have made it to their age. they need to know that growing up rules, it’s a gift and life does not have to suck for them, that they have a future that’s worth sticking around for. this rhetoric is so damaging mentally and i’m about to start hitting the adults who parrot it. i’m sorry you hate your life but you don’t get to dump your issues on these kids. don’t piss me off and leave these babies alone!

A true successor of Thomas Edison

surprise surprise

finally some good fucking salt over thomas eddison on this site

A woman not shaving or wearing a dress or wearing makeup or wearing femme clothes or having styled or long hair or caring how she looks or using a masc name or whatever else is actually a neutral thing and not a sign of her being depressed or giving up or being sad or whatever

Extremely predictable, tbh, that this post, made my a trans woman about my experiences as a woman, about my relationship with gender, about how I get pressure to perform to a more feminized gender presentation, mostly from other women, is being reblogged as #radblr because I didn't actually mention being trans, since it wasn't relevant. I'm thirty or forty years old and I have very, very little interest in arguing with anyone on tumblr anymore, but if you're out there relating to this post, and also performatively yelling that trans women are men, or talking about how "you people don't really view yourself as women" or whatever, then all I can say is perhaps pause a moment to consider that our experiences are not all that different, and maybe choose empathy rather than whatever reactive hate you have been choosing.

yall are so fucking weird about gnc people. a woman wears a suit and she's "conforming to the patriarchy". a man wears a skirt and he's Secretly A Trans Egg. have you considered It's Fabric

all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.

i suggest not letting it get this far

what if you told someone you liked their shoelaces while you were on your knees blowing them in a bathroom stall and they told you that they stole them from the president

oh boy! something in my mailbox from the IRA? I wonder what it could be!

saw moots posting so let me say it again. Everyone get more platonic NOW. RIGHT NOW. QUICK.

It is essential we all become more platonic . Let those freaks be bestest of friends let those characters hold hands and cuddle without any romance involved stop having couples gatekeep all affection I want everything to Stop being romantic I'm killing romance with my bare hands. Let two beings stand next to eachother without rushing to say "B-BUT.. LOOK AT THE WAY THEYRE LOOKING AT EACHOTHER! THERE'S NO-" yes there is a platonic explanation for it there always is one. The explanation is that theyre friembds. :]

NOT AN EXCLUSIVELY AROACE POST !!! There is a platonic explanation for people who aren't aspec as well! I love you platonic affection!!
