I Have Been Trying For Like. Months To Explain How The Relationship Between Butch Lesbians And Trans

i have been trying for like. months to explain how the relationship between butch lesbians and trans men is not something akin to polar opposites and this is all i got. like it's not like this:

I Have Been Trying For Like. Months To Explain How The Relationship Between Butch Lesbians And Trans

it's a venn diagram with a massive overlap in the middle. i'm not saying EVERY butch is a trans guy and EVERY trans guy is a butch dyke , i'm just saying it looks more like this:

I Have Been Trying For Like. Months To Explain How The Relationship Between Butch Lesbians And Trans

these are not "mutually exclusive" terms- they do not mean the same thing, but we can be the same people, an very often are. there is a long history of butches who identify as FTM, trans men, drag kings, genderqueer, genderfluid, transmasculine, male, polygender, and two-spirit lesbians, and so much more. the relationship between lesbianism and queer masculinity is inseparable and the only people telling you that butches and trans men need to violently separate from one another and be at each other's throats are terfs. even if we do not share identities, we share our struggle together as heavily misunderstood and unseen masculine queers.

we stand up for each other when our identities get confused by strangers, and we get misgendered. we stand up for each other when terfs and terfpilled people tell us that transmasculine people and men can't be lesbians, when people say "butches just want to be men", when people say "butches aren't real women", when people call each of us bull dykes and trannies, when people mock the way FTMs walk and talk and look, and when people tell trans men they're "just butch dykes in denial". we stand up for each other and understand each others struggles.

whenever a butch lesbian asserts they're a woman no matter how masc they are, whenever a trans man asserts that they are a man and not a butch, whenever a butch struggles to be seen as both a man and a lesbian, and whenever a trans man returns to the lesbian community while embracing their manhood, we are part of the same community, we share the same struggles, and we owe it to each other to stay strong.

we are not enemies. we are bedfellows, lovers, family, spouses, partners, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, siblings, friends, each others support networks, even if we don't share identities perfectly. whether you are butch and a woman, butch and a man, butch and something else entirely, a male, ftm, genderfluid, polygender, genderqueer, transmasculine, nonbinary, two-spirit or whatever else you may be lesbian, you are part of our family and your experience is worth being heard.

I know that Jess's current videos are cringe and for kids and have so so so many issues, but I personally think that the idea of the smp could be interesting if it was done right so heres my idea:

Much like mystreet, these characters are reincarnated, but this time into a video game and have to play and survive while also getting along and maybe recovering memories? Clearly, Aphmau is still connected to Irene, being gifted all these powers. But they're also being put in situations so often by what? Some higher power? They don't know if their day will be normal or not. They live in anxiety.

They don't know who they are. They have to find new niches and personalities to fill that void. Sometimes, they recognize the other "players" sometimes they don't. Pierce and Noi and Rhys don't know anyone but each other they try to become friends but they can't feel that connection.

Romance is especially difficult. Sometimes, they feel naturally drawn to each other, which is why K.C. and Zane always end up back together. They don't have anything other than that familiarity. Sometimes, they just use romance as a cope. Noi and Kim don't know each other, but they need to fill the holes with new memories . What better than a partner?

Ein's destructive tendencies and most "players" not liking him are remnants of what he did. He can't control the urges, so he acts on them (and maybe then they won't take over like the potion took over everyone else).

Not that any of them know, Zane has theories, and so does Kim, but what good are those if they can't prove it? There's different universes, and they know that. They also know that other "players" can be forced in and out of that world, but who is doing that? Whose in control?

Minecraft itself is already post-apocalyptic, and then Irene throws a bunch of "players" with memory loss into the world for what? Her own enjoyment? Why choose one of her vessels on top of that?

That's my yapping. I'm just full of ideas for the smp cause cocomau is just bad, but I have a deep love for the characters, and I have a feeling Jess is going to continue to add more characters especially from MID.

So uh…I know that today is Trans Day of Visibility and this website’s mods are pretty horrible to trans women but…

Over on Insta and TikTok, Mercury Stardust (also known as The Trans Handy Ma’am) has been trying to raise money for trans kids. Her account has been flagged by trolls and banned 11 times. Shes not giving up, but she could use some support. Please please go check out her accounts and consider donating to the 501c charity she’s supporting. Our trans siblings need us right now.

Link to her insta, since her tiktok is currently banned again: https://www.instagram.com/mercurystardusttopz?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

She does all types of helpful DIY videos for home repair and helps answer questions for renters. Please give her a follow. Send her a nice message. Please let our trans community members know we see them and love them—today and everyday.

i present to you the aphverse flesh cube using canon skins i personally hunted off the body actor's accounts and original skin artists so now you guys have no excuse to whitewash them

I Present To You The Aphverse Flesh Cube Using Canon Skins I Personally Hunted Off The Body Actor's Accounts

i have searched high and low i couldnt find zenix im sorry all we still have is the default mca skin.

lucinda here has her og skin i also could not find any other updated versions. her skin has a lot of variation of colors, which i'm attributing to being highlights/shading since it's edited to be 1 tone by mystreet s2 and pdh s1. i would use the middle tone for her until we can find a legit source

to whoever needs to hear this: transvestite and transsexual are not slurs. "outdated" queer terms are not inherently slurs. these are literally historically the first 2 terms created and used to talk about the trans community, both coined the first doctor to perform successful trans sex reassignment surgeries, who spent the rest of his career pioneering and paving the way for the modern surgeries we perform today. his name was Magnus Hirschfeld, he was a jewish doctor who began a lifetime of fighting for queer rights due to being moved by the struggles his queer patients went through in terms of not being allowed to accept themselves during the Nazi regime at the time. these are perfectly fine terms that have grown to develop their own distinct meanings and communities over time. this man spent his life fighting for trans and jewish rights during Nazi occupation. any queer term can be used as a slur in the wrong hands. thank you
