Meanwhile at Bluesky where there's no porn ban I've been going a little crazy with the NSFW stuff. I generally got like this every spring already (I'm now calling it my annual second puberty) but till now for posting I'd have to go to Pillowfort which has never been my primary social instead of to, you know, my primary social. I've even gotten myself a scanner so I can do it with pencil drawing and have refreshed my memory of the production procedures I used on Arthur, King of Time and Space. If you're interested it's here. I've even been drawing OCs. I never invent OCs.

Thanks for the joy you've given me. I want you to know I believe in your song.

so it's all documented in one place

If it gets to you and you genuinely can't bear it here any more, fair enough, godspeed, no hard feelings. But I propose the rest of us should hang on till the end.

I also think it's necessary to talk about how this backlash against discussion of transmisogyny is happening simultaneously with (arguably in collaboration with) a renewed effort on tumblr and here as well to marginalize and dismiss trans women who discuss how transmisogyny is wielded against them by other trans people who are not trans women. I'm referring to a collaboration in the same way that I would say that members of the media collaborate with politicians to demonize trans women. They don't have to be literally working together to be working together, and our focus should be on the work (the harassment, the silencing, the sexual objectification, the ostracizing) that's being accomplished, rather than the feelings or intentions of the people responsible. I don't care how the people who are doing this work feel about being seen as coworkers, for example. These different iterations of transmisogyny and transmisogynistic backlash need to be understood together.
