No one doing this should be allowed to call themselves a feminist.

So I tell Jane to bring her boy over to a bbq I'm having and she can tell him she's trans at my place surrounded by queer and trans people who love her and will support her if he ends up being awful.

She waits till the end of the bbq to tell him the news, by which point the rest of us have learned that Jason is a kind, friendly, empathetic, hard working, dummy. So we sit down, all of us a little worried about this gym bro's reaction when she tells him she's trans, and that she understands if he doesn't want to keep dating her it's no big deal.

He's baffled, so we explain what trans is, and after the disclosure that she hasn't had bottom surgery yet...

"Oh you have a dick?"

"... yeah."

He look's around at the room full of people with baited breath, his clearly a little afraid girl friend says

"Oooohhhh! I get it! You think- don't worry Babe! Watch this!"

And ya'll this man jumps up, runs into the kitchen and returns with one of the bratwurst we had for grilling and proceeds to tilt his head back, put it down his throat, hold it in his mouth for a moment, and spit it up without even a whisper of a gag and then looks around at the group absolutely beaming with pride.

"Honey, I must tell you, i am in fact trans and I have not had bottom surgery."

Hey yall, I created a pride flag specifically for transfems that don't wanna deal with any pesky TMEs (/s I'm not being serious.)

It definitely doesn't look like shit, and the lifelessness of only having one color definitely isn't a metaphor for the lack of diversity of experiences such a trans community would have.

It's not like we need transmasc and nonbinary people in order to be whole or anything, definitely not.

lets see the checklist:

✓ calling trans men whiny for speaking about their issues

✓ use of stereotypically gendered insult

✓ implying trans mens issues are less important or don’t exist

Treating fictives like they're your blorbo as opposed to a whole guy.

Deciding for yourself how a fictive or factive should relate to their source, if you think fictives & factives *must* be different from their source in some amount, you are not normal about plural identities. If you make moral judgements on an introject for the contents of their source material, you are not normal about plural identities.

Looking at spiritual aspects of plurality with undue skepticism and doubt when they don't apply to you.

Talking down to a fictive or factive for having a "problematic" source, and assuming that everyone gets to pick exactly who they are.

Refusing to use everyone's individual name when asked, or only recognizing one person in the collective.

Gatekeeping and fakeclaiming. You're not normal about plural identities if you insist all plural people need to have trauma. You're not normal about plural identities if you think someone has "too many alters" or perceive their conversation as "roleplaying".

Dictating what someone is or is not able to experience based on your personal understanding of their history.

Reacting to someone's plurality by imagining and feeling sorry for the trauma you assume they went through.

Finding the idea of plurality scary. Even past the evil alter stuff, if you think someone switching without you noticing is frightening, you are not normal about plural people. If you read or watch horror based around a killer with DID or a tulpa who kills its creator, you are probably not very normal about plural identities.

Any "eww" or "cringe" reaction to someone talking about themselves.

Imagine living every day with the fear of violence simply because of who you are. Imagine going to bed hungry, being denied medical care when you are sick, being insulted and attacked by members of your community, and having no safe place to call home. Imagine facing sexual harassment, discrimination, and constant rejection while carrying the weight of trauma every day.

For many LGBTQ+ refugees, this is not imagination it is reality. They struggle to access basic necessities such as food, shelter, healthcare, and protection. Despite these challenges, they continue to hope for a safer and more dignified future.

Your support, advocacy, and compassion can make a meaningful difference in their lives. Together, we can help provide safety, dignity, and the basic human needs that everyone deserves.

Sorry but I got sick of scrolling through the notes on this on desktop and seeing all the red usernames marked by shinigami eyes reblogging this.
