having fun with a terf trying to guess my agab and they literally cannot guess it they keep going back and forth and analysing every selfie of me ever and idk as someone who strives to be as androgynous as possible i think i won

update i asked them why sex and gender is so important to them and they said “because it’s the basis of society” and so i said “how so? isn’t the basis of society simply people and mankind itself? and even if gender identity and sex is the basis of society, that doesn’t mean it can’t still be fluid and change”

update update they said they didn’t feel comfortable with a man in the woman’s restroom and so i explained to them that a trans woman is just as much a woman as cis women and is safer in the women’s restroom alongside other women. they asked how is that and i explained how trans people just want to live. we don’t exist as part of a minority for fun, we simply exist. besides, gendered bathrooms make no sense except men apparently gotta pee standing up (incorrect) and so the urinals are just out in the open (makes no sense at all) and anyway what’s the problem with trans women going into the bathroom that feels best for them? they’re there to use the restroom and that’s it, just like everyone else. the idea that trans women are all predators is incorrect and inaccurate

another long speech and i think i’m getting to them

“did you know, you’ve probably shared a bathroom with a trans person before”

“what??”

“yeah but you didn’t know because they minded their own business and didn’t invade other people’s space like you do”

“i don’t invade other people’s space!!”

“oh really? then what is you aggressively keeping trans women out of the women’s bathroom?”

“protection!!”

“from what? someone peeing? someone washing their hands?”

“some of them are there to terrorize women”

“if a cis woman were to terrorise women would you keep all cis women out of the bathrooms?”

“what?? no!! i’m a cis woman”

“so why are you keeping trans women out of the bathroom? are you scared because you don’t know much about transgender people in general?”

“i know plenty about “trans” people”

*proceeds to spout a bunch of false “information” at me*

*i send them a bunch of links to sites with transgender people explaining their experience, plus i explain my own story*

oh yeah i’m getting through to them

they timidly asked me if i could explain some terms to them, so i did, and then they asked about trans men.

i’m just lining up my sources ready to go for them, this is the farthest i’ve come ever with a terf

currently explaining how sex and gender are different and how biological sex is way more complicated than just male and female. sent them to a site abt intersex people too and then another one about how sex doesn’t equal gender and how society enforced gender much more than most cis people think

asked me what my gender is (this is all on discord btw) so i explained that i’m genderfluid and use he/him pronouns and they asked why i don’t use they/them and i explained how pronouns =/= gender identity or presentation and he/him just overall feels more comfy and they a p o l o g i s e d to me for trying to find my agab so i apologised to them for being so hostile at first

success!!! they apologised again, thanked me for educating them and for my patience, and then asked if i would be willing to help them apologise to several other trans people too. i did so, and said trans peeps also thanked me (it literally was the least i could do so i brushed it off) and now the not-terf is continuing to learn because “this is really interesting and i want to stay as informed as possible”. i told them i would always be happy to explain something to them if they had questions.

How do you have patience? I'd probably just tell them to fuck off

something most of y’all don’t know about me is that i used to be very lgbtphobic. my dad “taught” me all about how gay people were just looking for attention, etc etc. i was exposed to a lot of transphobic media and homophobic ideals.

one (1) kind soul saw my young, homophobic self and kindly and patiently took the time to explain everything to me, calmly disputing my “facts” and educating me. they gave me books and resources and actual information and explained how my father was manipulative and abusive in the process. they were my first real interaction with a queer person, and i then learned more myself and began exploring identities after realising that what i was feeling was definitely not cishet.

ever since then i’ve made sure to keep my heart and arms open and accepting of all identities and labels and minorities. ever since then, whenever i see someone who is clearly mis/disinformed, i take the time to educate them as that kind person did to me years ago.

i have the patience, because i know i can succeed. i have the patience because i know how harmful my being rude is to a bigot. their experience with me, a very openly flamboyant queer, is probably their first non-hostile interaction with a queer person and it has to go well or else they will close themself off from anyone and everyone who tries to educate them.

the world is not good. it does not welcome us. you have to be better.

This was just me being funny but you're all so correct and your brains are wrinkly

Rushed ref of my redesigned sona. I’m a lot happier with her now

I am obsessed with this.

So because parkour is such a ridiculously male dominated sport, the "correct technique" for a lot of these movements that you're taught when you become an instructor plays to a male body's strengths: upper body strength, higher center of gravity, etc.

She demolishes this course by moving in ways that make sense for her body. She doesn't muscle her way up to her over a wall, she just throws a leg up over the wall. She doesn't use upper body strength to do the salmon ladder, she uses her hips!!! And it's fucking incredible.

So many girls and young women walk away from parkour because every movement caters to the strengths of men, because doing what makes sense for their bodies is seen as "bad technique" to be trained away.

If pre-transition me had seen this I would have cried tears of joy.

When Marnie was there 🦋🦋

I started reading Assassination Classroom and oh good lordy, I have fallen so deeply in love with this ridiculous professor. I wish I was joking.

I love that his face is hard to read a lot of times, but I couldn’t resist experimenting with his cute face.

Some more Assassination Classroom drawings I did! I wanted to practice drawing more dynamic poses for Korosensei in the first two drawings.

The bottom ones are just what I imagine he’d look in winter clothes! I like to think Irina helped pick out some fashionable and warm clothes for him.

So Bechno got me into Assassination Classroom like….a month ago? She watched the anime with me. I want moooore

But yeah, spoilers warning but Korosensei’s human form is super hella boring…..so I made one that’s more like his cheerful octopus self. Thus resulting in this weirdo haaa. And then things turned Splatoon

Irina is a anemone and Karasuma is a sea urchin (but he slicks his spines back)

Korosensei is obvious and the students are inklings with maybe a couple being other species.

More quick art fights!! For @bluehueglue & @tsotea
