Sergal with a Blergal

Shizun, would you still love me if I was a wyrm? (Yes. Absolutely. Are you kidding?? So cool!!!)

Well. Fuck.

Ok, yeah, obviously I'm posting this up to ask for help because holy fuck we need it, and the partials we'd been doing for previous months are not adding up enough.

So yeah, now would be a great time if you need to buy leatherworks for like late fall or gift season. Here's that link, to help out and get stuff at the same time: http://tormentedartifacts.com

Second, it doesn’t take a genius to recognize a pride event simultaneously with a current political crisis, even if one is largely unrelated to another. But it does take some goddamn cruelty to crush one’s right to pride for the fake ‘sake’ of another. A trending hashtag doesn’t exactly clog up bandwidths, you assholes. 

Third, if you’ve been paying the least bit attention to the past 15 years (or if you’re like me, transgender and having lived through those years) the current proposed ruling against trans identities is not shocking nor groundbreaking. It’s just an officiate of what’s been happening all along. Having it passed as law would surely make things worse, that’s no doubt, but did you honestly think we we’ve been protected by the law this whole time? Did you really think that America took gender seriously as it pertains to trans people? That we were being protected in the workplace, or under medicine?

Fourth, this is why Asexual Awareness Week exists. This is how community works. It takes a lot of work to learn and grow into yourself, in the face of a cisheteronormal world. A planned event like Asexual Awareness Week is dedicated to spreading resources for everyone, a-spec or not. And you can bet your Tumblr-politix-edgy ass that being ace and trans makes for a tumultuous time as of right now. 

So it’s not impressive to me, a trans ace (of color and disabled, as well), that exclusionist-Tumblr’s attention is focusing on pushing down Asexual Awareness Week, instead of actually focusing on the real issue. Because that’s what’s happening. Sex being defined as immutable and unworthy of lawful protection is the current trans reality in the USA. We saw this coming because it’s been happening. ‘Lose their humans rights’? What rights? Were we protected citizens of the USA before this?

Instead of talking about how to protect trans people, I see threads upon threads of how to abuse and manipulate aces (especially youth ace). It’s the bread and butter of exclusionism, really. Can’t have room for two, so instead kill the one. And that’s not how a community works.

And the lack of self-awareness astounds me.

Lemme ask you something: You gonna make it about a-spec people?

I know Halloween’s over, but I figured I wanted to draw the costume I would want to wear if I had anywhere to go. Just… vague plague doctor/reaper combo or something I guess.
