I want everybody to know it was LGBT people at the club who stopped the piece of shit who did this. Not the fucking cops. Two LGBTQ people stopped him. They shouldn’t have had to obviously because this shouldn’t have happened but never ever fucking forget we are absolutely capable of fighting back and defending ourselves and WE protect each other.

THIS ASS IS TRANSGENDER

Huh. Not marked as mature yet. This beautiful sexy trans ass has not been marked for nudity or indecency. This work of trans body part art has not been marked by the censors.

sirfrogsworth:

Today in transphobic idiocy…

Avery Jackson did a non-medical transition at the age of four. At the time, they felt more comfortable as a girl. As they grew up and their understanding of gender evolved, they decided nonbinary transgender suited them better.

And now that they are 15, their family is moving out of Missouri because they fear the recent draconian anti-trans laws.

“No longer identifies as a girl” does not mean they identify as a boy. They are still trans. They knew from the age of 4 that being a boy was not right for them.

I don’t think they changed their mind. I think they just found a better understanding of who they were.

These bigots know nothing about trans people yet think they are qualified to criticize them.

Transgender Day of Visibility.

As someone whose pronouns change a lot (im genderfluid) and a friend of several trans people, yeah. These all help.

deebrisbyfish:

Some folks would prefer that I keep politics OUT of my comic strip, but… uh… it’s a comic about my life as a transgender woman, and it’s KINDA hard to not be a smidge political when one party keeps pushing and passing laws that make it a crime for me to exist.

 So, sorry if you feel this is unfair, but it feels pretty frickin’ unfair to be labeled a literal criminal for existing.

Or when you look for something, knowing very well it’s an unpopular or haphazard way of doing stuff, but you KNOW it’s the way you need to do something and every single result is basically “you fucking moron, why are you trying to do it this way. Do this other thing you’re completely incapable of doing, or try this other way you’ve already tried sixteen times.”

drill-teeth-art:

Wow! Here’s something incredibly personal.

This is Good Bi Gender. A comic I made to express some feelings I have about my gender. I don’t really have that much else to say about it. Here it is.

[Image Description: A digital comic made with sharp, angular abstract lines and only the colors white, blue, pink, and black. The featured character is all white, except for facial features and hair colors, which changes from panel to panel. The comic reads: Cover Panel: The text “Good Bi Gender”, the words colored with the trans flag. It shows a glitchy person’s face, half pink and half blue. Panel 1: White text reads: “Hello. My name is apparently irrelevant. And my pronouns are he/him and she/her. But you can’t call me she/her. And here’s why.” Someone with a half-pink and half-blue shirt looks to the side. One eye is covered with hair, and the other eye is pink while the iris is blue.

Panel 2: The character sits happily, imagining facial hair and a masculine voice. “I don’t want top surgery. I love my chest. And I dream about being on testosterone someday soon.” The character looks at a phone, frowning. The phone shows the male symbol with an “X” through it. Text next to it reads: “People don’t seem to think that the features I dream of are very pretty though… Or they think even worse of them than that…”

Panel 3: The character’s features are all pink, and sits in a blank frame. The character reaches over to a blue frame, frowning. “I don’t like the animosity. I really despise it.” A photo of the character shows an all-blue frame and blue hair, with pink outlines and facial features. “To be a boy… I aspire to be one. I aspire to be masculine in all its handsomeness. All its prettiness.” Panel 4: The character sits in an all blue panel, but reaches back out to the pink panel. “And I’m still a girl too. I was so excited to have both. To love both. To have handsome femininity. Beautiful masculinity.” The frames break and connect, and pink and blue swirl together. The character smiles in between the frames, with one pink eye and one blue eye. “So excited. And yet I get asked…”

Panel 5: Two hands hold out two different pills to the character, one blue and one pink. They ask “Male? or Female?” using the male and female symbols.The character, facial features an array of pink and blue, looks between the two hands, distressed. “It’s both! I’m both! They’re not opposites. Not narrow boxes. I say I’m both despite the insistence that I can’t be. And I know what I look like. I know I look like a girl to most. I know that if I say people can call me she, that’s all I will get from most. Because it’s “easier”. It “makes more sense”. To have my masculinity, I am often forced to be unflinching in it and it alone. To never use she. Because if I don’t, I will never get to have he.” [The words “she” and “he” are italicized.] Panel 6: Text reads: “I’m still very happy to be so comfortable in my identity. To know, despite all that, that I am indeed a boy and a girl and both. But you know. Telling people to only use he/him for me. Guarding my masculinity all just to have it. All at the expense of the part of me who is happily and unashamedly a girl.” The character cries from one pink eye, the other hidden. The character holds a pink girl in a sea of blue, the girl crying out. In the midst of the blue, text reads: “Well, it fucking breaks her heart.” End ID]

Edit: @starberry-skies wrote an ID for the comic, so I added it to the og post with its permission!

IVE FOUND IT AT LAST

:

:

is the tgirl wearing a collar doing it because she has a fetish, or just because it’s a cute accessory? is the gay man in leather and a pup mask actually being “indecent” or is he just dressed up like a dog because it’s fun? are drag queens doing it because crossdressing is sexy or because drag is an expression of who they are as a person? does the furry walking around in full suit have a boner under their outfit or do they just like cosplaying as their cute cartoon squirrel oc?

you will never know. you can never tell. sometimes even the people doing these things won’t have an answer. is it a sex thing? is it kink? who fucking knows! there is no line! public expressions of sexuality aren’t immoral to begin with, but if you make any attempt to suppress them, you have to decide what is and isn’t allowed, and you are going to get it wrong. there is no way to untangle kink from personality and hobbies and interests. kink does not even necessarily involve sex. sometimes it’s just self-expression and vulnerability and sharing a particular dynamic with another person. sounds a lot like (checks notes) literally every other human experience that exists.

i’ll say it again: the person wearing a leash in your vicinity is not sexually assaulting you. they’re just wearing a leash.

for anyone concerned about children seeing these people in public and asking questions, here’s a script to help:

~

kid: hey that man is walking another man on a leash what’s up with that?

adult: i don’t know, but some people like to play pretend. maybe they’re pretending to be a dog and its person for fun.

kid: 👍 cool, this was an entirely non-traumatic experience and i didn’t even have to hear anything about sex

adult: 👍 cool, i told the truth in an age appropriate way that doesn’t result in any confrontation or distress to my family or to the strangers harmlessly going about their day

see!!! no harm done!!! wow it’s that easy!

The ‘they came back wrong’ trope, but they came back a healthier, happier person, and now you can’t relate to them anymore

But also all your warnings before they went were catastrophically incorrect and they came back better because they didn’t listen to you

And you tore the world apart trying to bring them back and you’re even worse than you were, so consumed by your love for them that you can’t see that you’ve become a monster, and they’ve become a saint

And to make things worse, they still like you. They’re super nice and wise and want to be friends but in your bitterness you’ve become resentful toward them.

We’re onto something here

For sure, I don’t think the idea of someone bettering themselves reflecting negatively on people around them is very widely explored in storytelling. It’s a really specific feeling that’s difficult to describe; like a bad feeling you immediately acknowledge as also a stupid feeling thereby feeling worse.

Like watching them move onto bigger and better things, not resenting their happiness, but resenting the fact that you went backwards and now can’t keep up

Okay so that’s a vibe. Who are the Martyr and the Necromancer then, is the next question. Maybe a master and apprentice situation where the Necromancer starts to realize his pupil may rise to become a rival. The Martyr consistently underestimates themself because they try their best, but their master never seems impressed

I have a small excerpt I’m working on. I’ll post it when I’m done

for every step they have taken forward, you have taken two steps back. Even their attempts to reach back to you only take them further away.

That’s a nice way of putting it!

all you did while trying to bring them back was get your hands dirtier and dirtier, with mud and blood and filth, stained your very soul with what you’ve done.
They didn’t wash their hands of you, but htey did get cleaner while away from you, and how could such filthy, dirty things ever hope to hold something as pristine as their hand?
while you were busy digging your hole ever deeper, they rose up in the world, and it doesn’t matter how beautiful and pristine the tower is, those looking at it from the hovels blow can’t help but resent it.
The difference is you *know* they deserve everything they’ve acquired, every inch of stone and porcelain earned.
and you don’t even deserve the rotting thatch above your head.

Yes! They were cleansed in your absence. Their soul and outlook purified. So happy and joyful and full of joi de vivre. Whilst you are filthy and miserable and monstrous. And now they are trying to pull you back up to their level, All the while you sink further and they rise higher

at one point both of you were digging holes together, oth of you were sad and unhappy, lashing out at the cruelties of the world around you, but the difference is that *their* hole was just the beginnings of a foundation, and yours has since become a pit.
They washed clean, but the kinds of things you’ve done leave cracks, and stains, and they go so deep that now the mud and blood are the only things keeping you together. If you get rid of them, what’s left of you?
You can see how they were refined into what they now are, but that process would leave nothing of you behind.
they were a lump of ore, and death was just the beginning of their purification, and now they are brilliant gold, gleaming in the sun.
They *are* a saint. and *only* a saint could forgive you for what you’ve done. But when they reach out their hand for you you have to show them your true colors, you have to smack it away, because the world hasn’t, and won’t, forgive you. It will grind you away to dust, just like it has been for years. They may try to save you from that fate, but you can’t let them do that.
then they might get ground to dust, too. yo ucan’t infect them with what you are, you can’t afford to stain them with your presence, no matter how desperate you are to let them try things their way.

^^^^^^^

But also, alternatively;

You were never digging with them. You helped them, patched them up when their hands were rough and sore from the shovel. And when they died, you made it your life’s work to finish digging their hole for them. And when they’re back, you’re trapped in the hole, unable to accept their hand to leave, because they are so clean and you are so very dirty

all of this has been for them. you can’t… you can’t ruin what they are with what you’ve become. If you get them as filthy as you’ve become, how could you forgive yourself? how could anyone forgive you? It would be… sinful, to mar such perfection, such beauty.
and certainly they have to know that, too.

Were they happier before? Have you ruined their death? How selfish you are! How beastly! The first relief they ever felt, the first time they were ever allowed to be clean, and you dragged them back into the mud and the filth!

Sure they’re smiling. They say they love you, they don’t mind getting dirty again in order to save you. But do they mean it? Or are they so selfless and clean that they’ll look past their resentment and save you anyway?

Do you know which would be worse?

you can let yourself dream about it for a moment. that kind of love, such care, even the thought of it is… its the single best thing you’ve felt since… maybe. maybe ever.

and that brief opening is a hole, and it makes the grief and hate and despair that follows it worse.

You can’t leave yourself open to that again. How selfish would you be, doing that to them?

Are you really so selfish that you could even *risk* doing that to them? You were so self centered that you made even their *death* about you. You thought… what? that when you brought them back things could go back to normal? after all that you’ve done?

The fact that they changed, too… it highlighted all the ways you were a fool. Things could never have gone back to “normal” after what you’ve become, even if they came back completely unchanged.

And maybe a part of you, small and quiet and easily ignored always knew that. It kept quiet knowing that, when they came back and despised what you were you’d be able to leave them in peace and go off to destroy yourself, and at least the one who *deserves* a second chance would have it.

but instead now they’re reaching out to you. They’ve grown past things like hatred. It’s as if a God to whom you are devoted has come down unto the earth and told you they would destroy themselves and all the heavens to give you a moment of comfort.

It doesn’t matter how willing or serious they are.

You don’t deserve it.

You try to push them away. You show then your evil, your filth. You scream and cry and hit the walls of your hole. You show then what a beast you are.

They reach out to stroke your hair and murmur tender comforts.

Their kindness hurts far more than any cruel word. You wish they’d just give up on you. You’re the monster that dragged them from their bliss.

You can’t bear the idea that they’d abandon you

did something monstrous today

What? Whats wrong with this? Is it that you put it on the table and not on the wrapper?

sandersstudies:

I sat with a crying second grader today. (The age range is outside my wheelhouse but I was the most convenient adult.) He was crying, the other adults said, because his brother took a phone he was playing on. “Phone addicted,” everybody said. “If he would get up and play games with the other kids he wouldn’t be crying.”

He told me everyone lets his brother take things from him because his brother is younger, and doesn’t know better. He told me he doesn’t want to play because he’s tired, he has too many extracurriculars this summer and can’t get good sleep because “everyone in my camper is so loud when I’m trying to sleep.” He’s exhausted and only eight. His mom’s an acquaintance and told me she and the kid’s father are going through a separation — mom and four kids left the house to stay in a camper.

But people will seriously not listen to kids crying over seemingly minor things because on the surface it looks like a tantrum. If kids are given the space to articulate themselves they often will.

I love these memes. poor little borzoi doesn’t understand the concept of half-life and radioactive decay

[ID: two memes of the same structure. each meme has an image of a borzoi dog looking at a pineapple, and the dog looks shocked.

the first image is captioned: “me returning to my 15-pound chunk of uranium-235 after 700 million years to see that it has now been reduced to 7.5 lbs”.

the second image is captioned: “me after returning to my block of hydrogen-5 after 0.0000000000000000000000866 seconds to discover that half of it has decayed”.

end IDs.]

correction from a very friendly anon: the dog is actually a greyhound, not a borzoi.

thank you anon :)

#the borzoi understands radioactive decay just fine#he is confused as to why his chunk is not approximately 14.1 lbs and 47% lead

I think greyhounds and borzois are related by radioactive decay. But how can I prove it? I can’t! Damn it!

If we can agree that making fun of one person’s appearance affects everyone with those traits, we can agree that using ableist remarks to make fun of people affects all disabled people. 👍🏻

For example:

“When I make fun of unemployed people I’m not talking about you!!” Yeah. You are.

It’s no different than, say, making fun of someone for their receding hairline right in front of your balding friend.

You’re being a dick.

I keep seeing people use the term “unemployeds.” Describing us all as one class of people. A class of people who are inherently “less mature” than others. I think you can work out for yourself why that’s bad.

How are we calling ourselves leftists while parroting capitalist, classist, ableist, christofascist rhetoric about how “work ethic” is tied to someone’s inherent worth?

I can’t wrap my mind around it.

Interesting how “of course no one on this site fucks” and “virgin” have now also become popular insults on tumblr.

Ableism and aphobia aside – how fucking old are we? You’re telling me you’re old enough and able enough to have a job and have sex, but you’re using insults from 19 year old reddit frat boys from the 2000s?

Yeah, I don’t think being an “unemployed virgin” is what makes you “immature.”

Being an adult and believing that you’re inherently better than entire groups of people based off of morally-neutral differences is the real loser behavior.

Another common insult I see people use is “you clearly don’t leave the house.”

Do I really need to sit and explain to the fucking LEFTISTS that say this shit how that’s both ableist and classist?

You know that there are many reasons that people can’t leave their homes as often as they’d like to, be it disability, lack of transportation, being stuck in an abusive household, etc, and yet….you’re still gonna use that as an insult?

How can you say you support disabled & other marginalized people whenever you continue to use us as scapegoats for your insults?

“You clearly don’t leave the house, unemployed virgin.”

You clearly can’t use your brain for think for a few seconds to come up with a new insult that you haven’t used since high school.

I have a strong feeling that the reason that this post isn’t gaining much traction is because

1. It’s uncomfortable to confront yourself when it comes to biases. It leads to a lot of guilt knowing that your words and actions have consequences that you don’t have to personally experience.

2. Because they would feel like a hypocrite for saying one of these things in the past, and they don’t want to be called out for being “two-faced.”

3. They’re too worried about calling out their mutuals/followers.

or, 4: They think I’m being “too sensitive” and “taking jokes way too seriously.”

It’s okay to learn and grow. It’s what you SHOULD do.

If they were just harmless jokes, then they wouldn’t affect the way people behave towards us in real life.

You are PURPOSEFULLY trying to put a bad name onto people who are unemployed, disabled, or asexual by using us as examples of who the “freaks” are.

You KNOW that insults based off of homophobia, transphobia, racism, antisemitism, fatphobia, sexism, etc reflect on how people think about those groups and how they treat them in real life.

Like how homphobes will call anyone and anything they don’t like as “gay” or “girly” as an insult - they are insisting that being gay or girly is wrong and disgusting.

Your insults about being unemployed, being a virgin, or not leaving the house are no different.

You are claiming that the people who are like that are “bad” and “weird” when you make those “jokes.”

PLEASE LISTEN TO US.

Update: Dec 10 2022

I have not received any donations since this post went up. This morning, my mom’s car (our only car) broke down and now we cannot get groceries or go anywhere.

We’re getting it repaired but we literally do not have any more money to spare. We’re having to borrow money from family members without knowing if we can pay them back.

If you can d/n/te, please do. If you can’t, please reblog if you don’t mind. I’m really scared right now and my mom is going through a bad mental health episode.

Thank you.

We should all seek justice, justice for all.

#RemoveTheWall

I love this, have never seen it with four panels…

It is worth noting that not all problems are 100% socially constructed, and therefore this conception of justice is not always an option.

For example, you can strive to reduce disability stigma, and you can give the disabled better healthcare, but people with incurable denegenerative diseases who experience chronic pain and deteriorating health are still going to experience unfair suffering, and the only way to truly fully “remove the cause of the inequality” is to literally invent a miracle cure.

I’m reminded of that post talking about how X-Men is the perfect metaphor for leftist infighting, like that scene from the movie (was it X2? X3?) where Storm says “we don’t need a cure; there’s nothing wrong with us” to Rogue, the girl who literally can’t touch people without killing them.

Which is to say,

I’m concerned people will look at this graphic and leave with the takeaway that pursuing equity is a waste of time, and the only thing that really matters is eradicating the root cause.

Because as important as it is to, for example, fund scientific research to find a cure chronic fatigue syndrome, it is just as important, perhaps more important, to make sure that, until such time as we are able to discover that cure, we ensure people with chronic fatigue syndrome are getting as much support as it is possible to give them now.

My point is, it’s not a matter of equity vs. justice. Pursuing justice is not better and more ethical than pursuing equity.

We need to work towards solving the root problem, but that can take a really long time, time people who are suffering don’t necessarily have, so we also need to improve quality of life for people who can’t afford to wait that long.

We need equity AND justice. We need to strive for BOTH.

It’s here !! The guide for two-legged people who don’t know how to draw wheelchairs !!!

7 pages of infodump !

Disclaimer : I don’t know everything, I have one (1) experience of wheelchair user who used both bad and good chairs, and I share what I learned.



Image description :

1) Calvin in his wheelchair saying “yo” under a huge title “how to draw manual wheelchairs properly by Calvin Arium, a wheelchair user comic artist”.

2) A character says “my character self propels in a chair that was outdated in 1970 lol”
Calvin says “so it looks like you two legged people don’t know the difference between an hospital chair and a chair made to be independant”
an arrow point the crapppy chair, saying “we never want to see this again”

a bubble says “the hospital chair is extremely unpractical, tough considering it’s cheaper than a good custom chair a lot of us have only this”

3) a character hurt himself trying to reach the wheels of the hospital chair. Several arrows point why the chair is unpractical : “high backrest restrain shoulders movement” “huge armrest restrains wheel access” “separated footrest : amovible, cheap, bulky” “x structure, foldable but heavy” “huge front casters for stability” “heavy wheels”

4) Several arrows point an active wheelchair (the KSL by Küshall) : “usually no armrest” “a low backrest allow more movement” “light, design, ferning expersive” “special cushion to avoind injuries” “knee angle is usually 90°” “one single piece of frame, sometimes entirely welded” “weight : from 4 to 10kg” “often rigid” “center of the wheel is the center of gravity” “higher quality wheels : less spikes”

5) A hand grab different parts of the wheel, pushing harder in the second half. Bubbles says “some have gloves, some don’t. The hand must grab the biggest area possible. Less movement = more energy. This is a common but not only way to push.Calvin is on his back wheels, rolling on grass and dirt
bubble says “popping a wheelie is when a wheelchair user rolls on their back wheels to roll on every complicated surface.

6) several drawings illustrate the folding frame, the ergonomic but rigid and expensive backrest, the separated footrest (only for folding frame), the handles, the folding handles, athe amovibles handles, or no handles, the cool fancy loopwheels, the pretty custom colors 

7) More Features ! The fancy rigid-foldable frame, the anti tippers (sometimes used by beginners), the motorization (wheels, smart drive) when propelling yourself is difficult
Calvin says “and now vroom vroom motherfuckers”

“And that quote, “The only disability in life is a bad attitude,” the reason that that’s bullshit is because it’s just not true.” - Stella Young

[IDs: Screenshots from the late, great, Stella Young’s TED Talk: I’m Not Your Inspiration, Thank You Very Much. Stella is a wheelchair-user sitting up on the stage in front of a massive crowd. In these screenshots, she’s saying, “No amount of smiling at a flight of stairs has ever made it turn into a ramp. Never. (Laughter. Applause.) Smiling at a television screen isn’t going to make closed captions appear for people. No amount of standing in the middle of a bookshop and radiating a positive attitude is going to turn all those books into braille.]

I use this speech and the underlying theories a lot in my PhD, but Stella Young honestly had one of those voices that needs to be heard by everyone, so I figured I’d post my favorite part of the speech here. If anyone remembers that time I threw myself onto the floor For The Vine, you’ll know that I also hate the quote: “The only disability in life is a bad attitude”. Stella just conveyed the message with less pain.

Happy Disability Pride Month 2022!

When corporations inevitably try to commodify disability in the same way they rainbow-wash queer identities, remember that toxic positivity and overly-inspiring videos do nothing to address the real inaccessibility and discrimination that disabled people of all intersecting identities experience!

Hey y'all, I’d appreciate anyone from the UK signing this petition to allow trans/nonbinary kids to stay closeted from their parents if they’re out at school. It’s obviously very important that children be able to keep potentially dangerous information about their identity away from their parents, and explore it safely in a school environment.

If it reaches 10k votes the government must respond, and 100k means they need to debate it, but any votes are good for raising awareness and profile.

If you’re not from the UK please share this so others see it
