Something I'm unexpectedly appreciating about tumblr is how there's something of a speed limit.
Open, scroll, reblog, tee-hee have a good time, close.
Some time later: open, scroll, reblog, why does this already have my name on it, oh goddamnit I'm caught up. Time to go find some non-digital enrichment.
It's not like the Other Apps that have endless content! It protects me from myself!
my mum just called "scrolling on Tumblr" "scrumbling"
ok i just wanna check something.... reblog if you've never watched/opened tumblr live
so matt's absolutely giving scorched earth orders behind the scenes right. Not only are publically visible transfems dropping like flies, but every third person who musters up the audacity to comment negatively on Staff or Matt about this vanishes fucking instantly
For him to survive, the bandages need a higher percent than the blood lost percent
If Brutus gets exactly 69 percent, Caesar automatically dies
If Caesar loses more than 40 percent of his blood volume, he dies.
Idk a lot of the backlash to broadening who falls under what terms comes from the need to distinctly fall under the specific label you worked towards…but distance from adjacent labels only limits your allies and puts you in a rigid box you can’t come back out of either.
Saw a post by a trans woman horrified by the concept of having overlapping experience with femboys because “fuck you I am a woman.” You are. A woman with a lot of overlapping experience with a GNC man. You’re not a GNC man. He’s not a woman. And the gap between you two is not a chasm.
“How dare you say trans men are similar to butch lesbians. Trans men are men.” Yeah, men with similar experiences to butch lesbians. The butch lesbian isn’t a man. You aren’t a woman. And the gap between you is not a chasm.
This mindset doesn’t even account for GNC men who also ID as women, trans men who use the label of lesbian. Butch can be a label for a person of either AGAB.
Binary trans people wanna separate themselves from each other and from nonbinary people sooo bad. Now it makes eggs feel like the jump from GNC woman to man is an insurmountable journey. A femboy gets told he’s making a mockery of trans women’s experiences. A transmasc femboy is seen as just a faker. A butch trans lesbian is seen as a faker.
These labels are all just plots on the map, not one side or the other. You journey to the farthest edges and you find twinks and lesbians who look and act identical despite being supposed opposites. It’s all made up, we’re all queer.
you’re hearing it more and more
