how the bi-bros get fit quick

From today on Twitter: I often see “I wish [bestselling writer] would include POC/LGBT characters!” But There are other writers who do this. Support them.

I’ve been told this, and have seen this said a million times.

For some reason people think if you like an inch of your body there is no way in the world you can ever be transgender of any sort.

I grew up being told I was gross, ugly, and fat, and I hated myself so much it hurt, and a lot of people would tell me that’s the only reason I choosing to be transgender. But when I started to accept my body, all my stretch marks, scars, and rolls, I was told I couldn’t be transgender because I liked myself.

Even when I came to accept my anatomy I still felt just the same as I did when I hated myself. So that’s just something to share with.

This looks like a really fascinating piece of bisexual theory! Here’s a screenshot from the intro:

My university has online full text of this journal through:

If you have a university affiliation, maybe yours does too!

(and if you don’t have access, feel free to send me an ask about, um, something totally not related to this)

“The basis of most arguments against trans people is that we are not who we say we are, that we are always and only the gender that we were assigned at birth. And so much of that is about having a sense of certainty around gender, that when you were born with a certain set of genitalia, then that must dictate your entire life, and the reality is that that’s not true. A lot of people are not comfortable with that, because then that means they have to begin to question who they are.”– Laverne Cox

“you can’t ship that, that character has canon interaction with the opposite sex”

queer teenage girls have to look out for each other because who the fuck else is going to???????

The “queer teenage girls” bit is unnecessary. “People” would have sufficed.

prime example of people not giving a shit about queer teenage girls lmao

Practice with Pronouns is a site that lets you practise subject, object, possessive, and reflexive forms of English third person pronouns. It comes with a few of the most common options, but you can also fill in whatever pronouns you like. Useful for both English learners and people wanting to practise using nonbinary pronouns.

As if it couldn’t get any more delightful, it often uses quotes from Welcome to Night Vale in the practice sentences, which is definitely far more entertaining than See Spot Run. The feedback sentences are also very cute.

(Hm, I’m pretty sure the second blank in that screenshot should have said “xyr”, in retrospect.)
