Trans women will never be free until people stop having strong emotions about penises. Like we, as a society, have got to stop caring about dicks! Dicks have to stop symbolizing maleness, obviously, but they also have to stop symbolizing power, dominance, sexual agency and aggression, violence, and even sex itself. Like trans women can’t be free if the very conceptual presence of a penis represents an intrusion(!) of unwanted(!) sexuality(!) in public life. Like that’s why trans women are abhorrent to both male chauvinists and radical feminists, because both groups have extremely strong feelings about what a penis *represents*, and find the conceptual and actual presence of a woman with a penis to be simultaneously vile and nonsensical because they’ve loaded so much symbolic baggage onto both women and penises.

Anyway dicks are totally neutral body parts and seeing a dick, or a bulge in a swimsuit, or simply knowing that there’s a dick somewhere in the same bathroom as you isn’t harmful or violent

every piece of media needs a Garak. like. no matter what you’re writing you need a gay character that’s basically a household pest who could kill you 150 different ways In Theory but is too busy gossiping with the protagonist’s dentist to really be a threat

i mean pineapple on pizza is already so delicious all by itself but then you add in how many people get so angry about something as arbitrary as the taste preferences of people who are not them and it’s like You Mean I Get To Eat Great Food AND In Doing So Passive Aggressively Tell Someone To Die Mad About It and that’s really what elevates pineapple on pizza to the chef’s kiss level

LGBTQ+ people who are religious: deserve to be respected.

LGBTQ+ people who aren’t religious: deserve to be respected.

LGBTQ+ people with a complicated relationship with religion: deserve to be respected.

It’s not fair to tell a member of the LGBTQ+ community that their religion is “wrong” just because some people have used it to spread homophobia. It’s also not fair to tell them that they have to have some form of religious belief. Religion is personal, and it should be treated as such - don’t apply the rules of your religion or lack thereof to others, and expect that others follow suit and let you follow your own beliefs.

Friendly reminder, for those posting on AO3, to tag your fics for any major triggers (eg suicide attempts, self harm, childhood abuse)

Slightly less friendly reminder to not then respond to comments from people disturbed by your untagged for suicide attempt who politely reminded you to edit your tags, telling them that you don’t want to :)

Idc if you don’t like tagging things. Or if you think it counts as a spoiler (hint: if said suicide attempt was in chapter one, it doesn’t). If it’s only in a later chapter you can even put a warning in the notes. Just, please, let us know what we’re in for. I don’t even find those things triggering /if/ you give me time to prepare myself by tagging your shit. Please
