i'm being SO normal about this

Caption: [A stitch with user @/sapphicyuji. The text on screen reads, " "you can't misgender cis people!", you have never had your gender questioned outside of your transness and it shows. sincerely, a trans poc".

I'm actually super glad we're having a conversation about this. The masculinization of black and brown women, because for years I felt like I endured this unique form of trauma until I realized other people went through the same thing too. And if there's one thing that I'd like to add to the conversation, there seems to be this misconception that this is something that starts at puberty. Like boys tell you you look like a man to hurt your feeling when that's so far from the case.

The first time I was purposefully misgendered was in kindergarten. I was constantly referred to by the masculine variant of my name, I was chased out of the women's restroom, and I had grown adults questioning what my biological sex was before I even knew what the difference was. And those behaviors persisted into adulthood because now if I present as anything less than 100% feminine, people will either compare me to men or animals.

And for myself and for many other brown and black women this is a life long act deliberately intended to humiliate, shame, and other us for the features we were naturally born with and I'm glad we're having a discussion on how harmful it actually is.]

READ IT. THIS LAW WOULD MAKE IT LEGAL TO SHOOT HOMELESS PEOPLE

sharkboy and lavagirl is genuinely such a fun movie to watch, and it ALWAYS will be. I haven’t watched it in a while, but I did watch it again and it continues to hold up and more!

I get so tired of seeing media that fails in everything it tries to do. Like “oh here’s the cool character” that’s actually the lamest person I’ve ever seen, or “oh this is quirky and funny, laugh!” but it’s the most fake “popular girl”-esque joke I’ve ever heard. But sharkboy and lavagirl just takes its cartooniness and FLIES. Sharkboy is actually AWESOME, and the jokes are genuinely funny. The romance isn’t even messed up because there’s barely any romance. The only explicit romance is max’s parents’ marriage healing, and the other two romances are just assumed. Whatever Max and Marissa had going on was a clever little mirroring that allowed Marissa’s character to progress, and Sharkboy and Lavagirl are compliments, red character x blue character DUH.

maybe I got my humor from sharkboy and lavagirl or something cause when i see a place for a joke in another piece of media, but no joke happens, i get disappointed. That doesn’t happen while watching sharkboy and lavagirl!! it makes me so ecstatic.

and Linus actually becoming good. I forgot about that! I thought he was gonna pull Max down, but he actually got a chance, and changed!! (Miraculous Ladybug makes me think this is no longer possible, apparently)

AND THE GRAPHICS!!! i love the graphics they’re such a vibe and you know it!!

i want to share with you some of my favourite graffiti from Pompeii

I’ve always loved these. Humanity has never fucking changed.

I don't care what your sexuality is if we start doing kiss marry kill or smash or pass for people of a gender you're not actually attracted to you can have some gosh darn imagination. Make a choice. Pick. Imagine. Open your mind to creativity.
