Sam Smith saying they're going to be misgendered til the day they die hit in such a deep way as a nonbinary person. It's something so specific to the nonbinary experience specifically. I went on a date with a trans woman recently who looked a little sad when I got misgendered by the waiter and asked "Does that [the misgendering] happen a lot?" And I remember being slightly confused for a minute bc I genuinely hadn't registered the misgendering. I go into public just under the assumption that I'm going to be misgendered even by those with the best intentions.

“we were lovers in a past life” trope but the current incarnations are enemy-to-lovers trope. when. 

To be clear. I don’t want “our past love ended in betrayal and anger and now we hate each other.” I want “we died in love and in each other’s arms” but the current incarnations do NOT remember and they ARE trying their best to End the other one and these new sudden flashbacks to lovingly holding each other’s hands is EXTREMELY UPSETTING

the theme that always resonates me the most in stories is “the world is cruel; therefore I won’t be.”

when a pessimistic, self-destructive character who has been made hard and cynical and bitter by repeated trauma and horror is suddenly put into a situation where they could be like “well, that’s just how it is, life’s a bitch” but they choose not to? When they decide instead they’ll be damned if they don’t die fighting to make their shitty fucking world a little bit less shitty?

When they are yanked into a relationship with someone who is way more hopeful and idealistic than they are, who has not experienced the same suffering, and they think “I’m not going to let them hurt the way I was hurt” even though they may not have ever given a damn about what anyone else was going through before?

That’s just about the most important story there is, if you ask me

you know she-ra was made by lesbians because it understood the concept of “huge femmes and tiny butches”

I think calling Scorpia a femme is a little bit of a stretch

Recently, I’ve heard a story about two men. They are friends, bonded, with a natural want to be close to one another. Who can say what they might have done privately? While they were in the view of others, however, they took care to keep apart. So far apart, in fact, that in one look strangers saw through their facade, and mocked them for their empty performance. By worrying about appearances, they drew more attention to themselves than they ever would have gotten if they had simply acted out of their wants and desires. Their created charade of apathy only made their intimacy more apparent. Tell me, Will. Are you going to keep sitting on the other side of the hot tub, or will you come sit next to me?

reminder that lesbian trans women are not predatory and they’re lesbians just like any other lesbian. they’ve been part of our community since forever and we’ve been fighting side by side for a long time, we share a beautiful history of mutual support. lesbians in general are already seen as predatory, so i want to make even more sure every trans woman who’s one of us knows their love is beautiful and they belong. you’re welcome in our spaces and you can count on so many lesbians to fight any transmisogynist that tries to harm you. you’re so important.
