#star-anonymous

The game surrounds Mark and his egos, plus an alternate version of Mark called Edward, who is Mark if he didn’t do YouTube and stayed in college. It takes place in all of their alternate, parallel universes, and the player, as Mark, has to work to stop the forces of… evil ;)

Of course!! I welcome all submissions, they don’t have to be origami stars <333

Keep on shining!♥ Courtney

(Feel free to request a star here! Anon is on as well <3)

1. if you’re engaged in a local lgbt organisation, listen to trans voices on what needs they need met, and how cis people fail to reach them, and then work hard to improve that not only with yourself, but with other cis people too.

2. don’t expect trans people to tell you something is transphobic every single time. learn (by observing, reading, and talking to trans people) about what’s transphobic, and call it out yourself. you can use your cis privilege to let the voice of trans people reach further than they’re able to carry it themselves. many trans people, myself included, let so much transphobia “go” because we are tired from constantly fighting it, or afraid to bring something up because we fear the harsh backlash. cis people can help us carry our burden

3. be critical in your own behaviour. realise that you will never be truly free from transphobia, but work continously towards always bettering yourself. ask yourself twice if you NEED to tell trans friends (irl or online) about the transphobic comment you overheard on the bus but did nothing about. chances are, you don’t. question WHY you’d want to burden a trans person with this experience anyways.

4. relating to point 2, learn to spot transphobes online. in these last few months, trans bloggers have been calling out several big (cis LGB) bloggers here on tumblr who spread semi-hidden transphobia to their large followings. only other trans people (and lbr, only trans women; i purposefully don’t include myself in this movement) seem to have cared, or if cis people do care, they rely on trans people solely to point out the transphobia. educate yourself by reading about what makes one a transmisogynist, or transphobe, and help your trans siblings end the transmisogynists’ popularity. 

5. if you do make trans friends of the same gender as you are (which i recommend, it can be very rewarding to hear their alternate viewpoint on your gender and how you relate to it) make sure to aggressively (within yourself, not outwardly) treat them as any other friend you have of your gender. if you are a woman and you regularly braid your female friends’ hair, braid you trans female friend’s hair. if you’re a man and you play soccer some weekends with your male friends, make sure to ask your trans male friend to join too. don’t get discouraged after the first try when either say no. 

6. make using the correct pronouns a non issue for you, for everyone. they/them? how about YOU point out its a grammatically correct set of pronouns in english, instead of letting your trans friend have to fight that fight? someone switching pronouns? no problem, friend, i’ll work my damn hardest to accommodate this change!
