i’m not necessarily unsympathetic to every instance of “this LGBTQ character feels forced” but please consider the possibility that if you keep feeling that way almost anytime a show/game/movie introduces a non-cishet character this may be the product of your unconscious biases

i also sincerely hope people are joking whenever i see posts like “i wish [media franchise] would focus on addressing [issue] instead of spending time writing gay characters” because i assure you the writing and the issue are almost never handled by the same people

with all that being said: pink capitalism is a thing and you should absolutely call out megacorps tossing cheap representation your way in an attempt to distract you from the horrible shit they get up to. looking at Blizzard here

I don't know what I was expecting when I looked up manatee anatomy the other day, but it was not that manatees have like. . . Fully-fledged hand bones.

(They're incapable of individual finger movement but still, according to someone on Reddit that had a male manatee fall in love with her, THEY HAVE A VERY STRONG GRIP.)

Just so like... it's clear... anyone who censors words that contain "man" or "men" to anything like "xxn" that's TERF shit.

Any reference to women/womanhood that solely revolves around having a uterus or "womb" is TERF shit.

Any sentence where the OP says they support people being "trans identified" with quotes around ""transwomen"" or ""transmen"" is TERF shit.

I'm seeing a lot of you baby Tumblr gays out there not knowing what these specific TERF dogwhistles look like.

"Wombxxn" is an incredibly dumb way of spelling "woman" that treats the word "man" like a slur and also reduces women to their ability to give birth.

"Trans identified" is their way of saying "this person calls themselves trans, but I don't believe they are."

Saying "People should be allowed to identify however they wish, but we still need to protect women/children" IS TERF SHIT.

Learn to identify this garbage, because not all TERFs are going to spell out their intolerance for you. Some of them are going to try and seem reasonable and polite and normal, and it's fucking dangerous to our community.

Also unpack any internalized transphobia and your transmedicalism, because both those things will have you quickly siding with TERFs and bigots.

It’s such a gift when people offer tumblr literacy like this. I’ve got some additions to offer. I’ve come to understand over the past 11 years, that any reference to the following words in a tumblr username is like at least a 80% chance of imminent terfiness: womb, vulva, ovary, vagina, clit, (and of course rad & radical, too.)

Obviously this isn’t a 1 for 1 thing, but any references to genitalia and gonads like that is a terf fave 🙄

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a million times more, the terf hold on tumblr feminism is bad bad bad. There’s like a 50% chance it’s a terf if just the word “feminism” is in a u/n and I say that as someone whose personal has it in mine but who hates terfs with a fiery passion I can barely contain.

I’ve got some old post floating somewhere out there where I was bemoaning how it felt like for a bit I had to do like an hour of research before I could reblog any seemingly astute feminist post because there was a whole “stopped clock is right twice a day” thing going on where they would write a (narrowly) good feminist take that would get crazy notes, but turn out to be crypto terf shit. It’s extra exhausting bc they were like “mwahahaha she admitted we’re astute” on the post as if it wasn’t a case of said stopped clock.

Anyway, as always, fuck off terfs.
