I WILL calmly and kindly try to help anyone who is afraid of bugs. I will show them my finds, i will explain their importance, i will tell them just how sweet and gentle and friendly they are. And I WILL shoot down any immature loser who believes senseless killing is the only possible response to not liking something.

The team didn't make the "AGAB-only and no T" rules; the league did.

The team, in defiance of the league's wish to remove trans people from public life entirely, offered Isaac a supportive and safe environment (note that they have never misgendered him, they are very vocal about calling HIM their MAN teammate). They didn't ask him to change his name or pronouns; they let him be who he is. And the people saying "well he's not being gendered correctly if he's on the woman's team duh!" are too busy sticking their fingers in their ear screaming LALALALA to get it.

So let's be clear: the team offered Isaac safety and solidarity at a time when the sport he loved, that brought him joy and meaning, was trying to force him out. They said, you can be yourself and play with us. We don't have the authority to put you on the men's team or let you take T, but you can play with us.

And this wasn't a risk-free act! Doing this has every likelihood of opening them up to ridicule and even threats from rightwing and TERFy media who will talk about a team letting on a "mentally ill girl who is a known former doper"! They are very likely to receive death threats over this! And they did it anyway!!

And still, they are being labeled as transphobes for the actions of their league, and Isaac is being labeled a coward for not giving up his life's passion for literally NOTHING. (You think anyone's mind on trans people in sports is going to be changed because Isaac kept playing soccer no matter the cost? You think anyone who was in favor of non-AGAB-segregated sports now supports it because Isaac is on a woman's team?)

I hate it here.

PS: Isaac did not owe it to you whiny assholes to give up on his passion to make you more comfortable. I think his refusal to give up was admirable, and I also think he has every right to say that his gender is only one part of who he is, and that he considers his identity as a soccer player more central to who he is than taking gender-affirming medication. If I had a choice between never being allowed to write again, or never being seen as nonbinary again, I would choose writing in a heartbeat. I'd kill myself if I couldn't write anymore. But I lived over 20 years not being seen as nonbinary, and I could survive 20 more if I had to.

Not everyone defines their gender the same way as you. To some people, it's "death before detransition" and to others, it's "detransition before death." It's not your right to judge what other people get to answer to that- it's only your right to decide where you yourself fall.

You think? Let’s test that then!

First, you gotta get a cool cup. I got this one from a thrift store for a very affordable price. But if you can’t find one, a standard clear cup or jar should suffice

Now, you don’t need a decal, but I recommend it because they’re cool. I just got some sticker vinyl, traced and cut out the Wii logo and some stars

Now for the drink!!

Start by making or buying jelly. If you make it, you should do so a few hours before you intend to make the drinks, as it will need time to set. You can find jelly at most any grocery store.

Get your cup and add ice and jelly. You should cut the jelly into small pieces or use cookie cutters to make fun shapes. I recommend you don’t add quite all of the jelly, as you’ll need some for the top later

Next, add your flavoring syrup of choice, I recommend blue raspberry or melon. You should be able to find them at any restaurant supply store

Then, add carbonated water. Flavored sparkling waters also work fine, as they don’t taste like much. You should be able to find some at any store that sells drinks.

Next add Calpico, this is technically optional, but it tastes way better with it, so it’d highly recommend it. You can get it at practically any Asian market, or normal market if you live in Asia

Now, add some ice cream, or something of the sort, I use vanilla.

After that, you can top it with some whipped cream, jelly shapes, cherries, really anything!!

I would also recommend using a straw to drink it, because you will need to mix it up a bit. but you can’t really mix it before hand, because it will ruin the cool gradient affect
