oohhhhh my god my mom asked me earlier if i wanted her to start calling me caelum :O :O :O
my mom said she liked my chosen name today :)
trans masc and trans men, i love you. you bring so much beauty to the world.
researching parrying daggers as a fun little treat and i'm delighted by how much every single one of these things looks like it's designed to be as annoying as possible
this one is my favourite. it's called a swordbreaker. it looks like a weaponised version of snagging your clothes on a door handle. if you caught my blade in one of these things there isn't a force on earth that could deliver you from my fury.
deliver your fury with what? your sword?
ngl I thought the puzzle piece as an autistic symbol meant like. I am a vital puzzle piece to your society. humans would never have invented half the things they did without us. you're telling me it means I'm missing something?? buddy. listen. listen to me reeeeaal closely. no human has all the pieces to humanity. no one. no one has all the features enables no one has all the strengths weaknesses or quirks. no one has a whole puzzle. we make the freaking complete picture together. that's the freaking point.
Neurotypicals are encouraged to reblog this btw but if you think I'm broken for being autistic I'll break your bones
Bringing this back celebrate autism and the vital diversity of humanity with me by burning Autism Speaks to the ground
Don't stop talking about Palestine
ive been seeing a new wave of transmedicalists lately I think we gotta start being vocal again about how nasty they are. you don't need to take hormones or have surgery to be a trans person. changing your name and pronouns is gender affirming care. wearing new clothes and hair and makeup is part of transitioning too. you dont need to pass to be trans, you don't need to be male or female.
nonbinary, agender, genderfluid, genderqueer people are trans too if that's a label they want to use for themselves. and anyone who says otherwise is a piece of shit. it's not "anti-transitioning" to say so, it's anti-telling other people what to do with their bodies. it's pro-minding your own fucking business and letting people do what they want with their gender and treating them with compassion and enthusiasm
I genuinely believe that the transmedicalist mindset comes from a deep place of insecurity and internalized transphobia, these people hate being trans so much that they get so irritated seeing other people who choose to not comply with the strict gender binary. they think they're experts because they're trans themselves but they don't understand that they have no authority to tell anyone else what they need to do with their bodies. they want to be cis so bad they just parrot transphobic talking points and bully anyone who doesn't fit in. and it's sad because they're trying to cope with the transphobia they face but it's in such a harmful and maladaptive way that just harms other trans people.
probably the most real demonstration of online versus offline discourse on "transmascs versus transfems" infighting was at a transmasc meetup where one person was like "eugh i've just had suuuch bad experiences with transfems, i don't trust them" and the guy next to me just blinks and goes "hey uh. my wife is a trans woman" and the rest of us chime in like "yeah we all have transfem friends, what's your problem"
and then after talking to that person for longer we discover that they almost never interact with the trans community outside of tumblr and don't have any contact with transfems face to face
also what is with people tossing out support for nonbinary people when the nonbinary person is a celebrity. as soon as demi lovato changed their pronouns from they/them to they/she everyone, including supposed allies of the community, IMMEDIATELY dropped the “they” part of “they/she” and started referring to them as a woman again. then when “unholy” by sam smith and kim petras won a grammy people talked about how kim petras (just her) made trans history by being the first trans person to win a grammy. and yes this is something to be celebrated, but is sam smith not also trans by virtue of being nonbinary? did they not also make history? or do you not see them as nonbinary because they’re amab and not feminine enough to cross the man threshold for you? and yes nonbinary celebrities are not going to see you referring to them as if they were cis but your trans acquaintances sure as fuck are
the other day at work one of my coworkers told me one of the team leads randomly told them "btw caelum has pronouns" and then just changed the subject. didn't elaborate on what my pronouns were, just that i had them. that is the funniest thing to me. yes hello it's me, the pronoun haver.
I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THIS
