Stupid trans* things I feel guilty over (even though I shouldn’t)

One.
My fucking amazing friends all using male pronouns and even correcting other people when I: am too chickenshit to do so, am pre everything, and avoid talking about my transness at every opportunity.

Sorry guys, I just don’t like saying I’m male because a lot of the time I feel more genderqueer, and don’t like saying I’m genderqueer because then it sounds like I’m not really a guy—so I just don’t say anything. Not the best solution, I know.

Two.
Being a dude, or ‘wanting’ to be a dude, or whatever, when guys in general all seem to be douches and I have almost no male friends anymore.

Three.
Being a feminist and wanting to transition. Wanting to transition and being a feminist. Some part of me keeps telling the rest I can’t do both.

Four.
Always, of course, the good old Not Being Trans Enough. I’m too cuddly, I’m too talkative, I speak too quickly, I’m uncomfortable talking to strangers, I spent my childhood wanting to be a boy instead of just feeling like a boy. All things my head tells my good transguys aren’t and don’t.
Don’t tell me I’m wrong—I know.

Uppity Negress: THIS MESSAGE NEED TO BE REBLOGGED IF YOU GIVE A SLIVER OF A DAMN ABOUT TRANS RIGHTS

jillygolightly:

If you know of individuals who have been in a correctional/prison facility in Nevada who were/are transgender and subjected to any sort of problematic treatment (particularly being segregated from the rest of the inmates in a solitary-confinement situation) please contact me…

Yes Glee, the show that so often prides itself on being the voice and representation of a generation, that pats itself on the back for being progressive and for tackling serious issues in ‘appropriate’ and ‘tactful’ ways - Is in fact one of the most sexist, misogynistic, racist, ableist, biphobic and generally offensive shows out there.

It slut shames and yet also tears down the virginal, while taking the time to turn rape and sexual predators into jokes, it makes light of suicide and eating disorders and yet tells us they’re serious issues when convenient, it treats homophobia and gay bashing as a serious issue and something that should be addressed, only to then take part in such behaviour themselves, it’s a show that tells us abuse and bullying are wrong, and yet they do so themselves, it treats body issues seriously one moment, before turning them back into a running joke for the show.

There’s nothing wrong with dark, shocking and mean spirited comedies if done right, and if done with that intention and disclaimer, but there is seriously something wrong with a show that partakes in so much mean spirited and hateful ‘comedy’ that then asks you to see it and think of it in a positive, uplifting and inspirational way.

Now you know why I don’t like glee

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Glee is a show that is very pro-gay and moderately pro-lesbian, but subtly anti-bisexual and overtly anti-trans. The fact that it exactly mirrors gay and lesbian bigotry against bi and trans* people is no accident.

So, me.

I guess I should do an intro-ish post? I dunno, I’m not really up to date on internet etiquette (or etiquette in general).

Welp, I’m in my messy room that I really have to clean before my guests come over saturday, at three thirty in the morning, and I really need to pee but it’s too much effort to get out of bed. Sounds like as good a time as any to introduce myself to the tumblr hipsters, bare my shrivelled, blackened soul for the depths of the internet to see, etc, etc.

I’m eighteen years old, though I don’t feel any real connection to my age and occasionally forget it. I’m in my first year of my Bachelor of Arts, doing a transfer program where I take two years of college (fuck yes cheap education) and then my third and fourth year at university (buh expensive). I intend on majoring in Anthropology.

I’m an asexual genderqueer guy, and if that bothers you, that’s your problem. I’m assuming all y’ tumblr kiddies are queer radical left-wingers, but maybe that’s just the vocal among you.

Or maybe I just lurk the queer parts of tumblr…

I enjoy words, and nice fat fantasy novels, and science fiction television, and HAIR.

I really need to pee.

Right now, I’m waiting for my money to transfer to my paypal account so I can buy a binder. It is my faint hope that everything will happen expediently enough that it will get here before my mother gets home from mexico.

I read lots of webcomics, and prefer those with EPIC PLOTS.

I intend on using this blog to figure out what all the craze over tumblr is, find sweet art of my many fandoms, and pour out my pent up teenaged angst to the general population (that last one not so much).
