Magneto the Magnificent

Hi, I'm Eitan Meshullam Chiyya, but you can call me Eitan.

I'm a Jewish trans man and my pronouns are he/him/his.

I post a lot about what interests me at the moment on this blog, be it Judaism, fandom, activism, history, dentistry, or really anything.

Recently a lot of my blog has shifted more towards talking about Judaism and antisemitism, and I welcome respectful questions because I believe education is key in fighting the less-obvious aspects of antisemitism. Please don't be afraid to ask questions, I'd rather you ask questions than come to wrong conclusions. But please be respectful, and if it's a question about a specific post of mine, please first check the notes to see if I already answered it, because it's very likely I already did.

Here is a post I made with a bunch of resources for learning more about Judaism, as well.

Some other big informative posts:

The Six Sexes in Judaism

About hostility towards tweens

Fake News Checklist

About supercessionist ideology among antitheists

Debunking misinformation about circumcision

Common Jewish stereotypes

I tag things both for myself and others, so here are a few of my tag categories:

#fandom negative : For when I criticize certain aspects of fandom culture. It could be a specific fandom, or fandom in general.

#judaism : pretty self explanatory. For when I post about Judaism.

#my art : also pretty self explanatory. For when I post my art.

#goodomens : I find that the Good Omens fandom is pretty toxic, so I don't tag my posts or fanworks about Good Omens with the popular 'Good Omens' tag for that reason. I still need a way to sort my post though, so that's why the tag has no space in between the words.

#marvel : posts about anything having to do with Marvel.

#if jew know jew know : a tag for posts that are targetted specifically at my Jewish followers, or contain references or jokes only Jews will probably understand, or discuss intracommunity issues for Jews only to discuss. Basically, if you see a post with this tag, I'm not excluding gentiles, but it's a post that gentiles might not understand and that's okay.

#dentistry : If you don't know, dentistry is my passion, and I'm on my long journey to eventually becoming a dentist.

#trans : self explanatory. I'm trans, I post a lot about being trans.

#disability : I'm disabled, sometimes I post about it or about issues related to disability rights.

#history : For posts about history. Posts about Jewish history are also tagged as 'Jewish history' in addition.

I have a lot of tags, but these are just a few of my most popular ones.

Anyway, thanks for visiting my blog, I hope you enjoy your stay.

“Are you Irving Cohen, the engineer?” the man asked. “Who's askin’?” Izzy replied, putting on his strongest Brooklyn accent. “Bruce Wayne,” the man said in an undertone. “My mother was a Kane. I'm, well, a distant cousin.” “Irving's my father,” Izzy said carefully, “my name is Isadore. Izzy.”

So there's what I like as a fan and there's what I believe would be actually something Marvel would even consider doing, and what I like as a fan is irrelevant because like. I don't think Marvel is making the Invaders explicitly a messy messy polycule anytime soon, sad to say, and honestly I kind of don't want that because I feel like they wouldn't execute it well.

So about a month ago I thrifted a pretty nice short-sleeved button-down shirt for a reasonable price, and I liked the colour and it fit me and I had been needing some short-sleeved buttoned shirt. The only problem? I hate button-down shirts. I hate the look personally, I think they look childish and frumpy, etc. So I had to do something to transform this shirt.

I played around a little bit with the collar. I like an open-collar look, the only issue of course is getting the collar to stay that way.

But here's where the advantage comes in. Button-down shirts already have buttonholes in the collar. All I had to do was put new buttons at the positions I wanted. So I did. I marked the point with a dot with a pen and a pin for good measure, and then I rummaged through my spare buttons to find buttons that fit the size of the buttonhole and were inoffensive in colour.

I sewed the buttons on to their positions, and then I was done, and had a shirt with a nice open collar that laid flat!
