oh i hadn’t heard about the duo, that’s cool. it looks like it’s better for primarily playing 3ds/nds games? i’m actually thinking of getting it instead but now i’m also seeing people talking about the RG DDS halp

I know I wouldn’t play it enough to justify

probably same

a couple months ago i sat next to a guy on the train playing on an Ayn Thor and i’ve wanted one so bad ever since

this halloween i’ll be dressing up as a cis girl staying home because she’s on her period, i’ve even got real blood! (yay bottom surgery recovery)

IIRC she’s a drag queen and the plot makes it explicitly clear she’s not a woman

i think you’re confusing her and Blade (who is a drag queen voiced by Kween Kong). i don’t remember anything iffy about Queen Leanne but it’s been a while

I’m glad a nameless trans woman got a paycheck out of it, at least

sorry didn’t mean to not mention her. Jordan Raskopoulos is a semi-well-known comedian in Australia

Any story about trans women that trans women don’t have complete creative control from start to finish is liable to wind up being eye-wateringly transmisogynistic

i do agree, i thought it was okay when i first watched it but they could have very easily avoided including the sus shit if they had given it some extra thought. it just didn’t feel intentional to me and this one just felt like it got a kinda unfair critical lens put on it compared to a lot of other similar media. also i’ve seen multiple reviews claiming that the drag queen character is the only “trans” representation in the movie when that’s not the case

I’m not interested in hearing about how it’s fine actually you’re just overreacting

dw i don’t think you are at all. in the end, they knowingly put something in the movie that they knew had TERFy vibes when they could have just used a sword for the sword lesbians lol

just wanted to add that the two writers/directors have previously acknowledged this:

We were really conscious of things like the labrys (a double-headed axe). It used to be a TERF symbol and we debated including it. In the end, we put it in the film because it should belong to all lesbians, including trans lesbians. Queen LeighAnn—who is a trans woman—is shown (in the film) summoning the labrys in trans colors. We felt the positive representation of inclusion was more powerful.

linky

also Queen Leanne (one of the main character’s mums) is voiced by a trans woman

i love the slew of Petra Parker posting as of late

it will, i’m sure of it

manifesting a very future

thank you! yeah it’s hard to explain, but i feel like my first year was mostly just a lot of redeveloping my personality while the second has been kinda growing into it a bit. i got my hair dyed for the first time, my first tattoo, a cool edgy eyebrow piercing, and like a shitload of electro (ugh). when i first started transitioning i thought i would be mostly “done” by this point but that was just wishful thinking - i got a lot more to go but i’m looking forward to it

two years on estrogen today

i’m so glad you liked WYFFH, it’s so so so good. i’m loving book 3 too. struggling hard with waiting for the new chapters though

i just finished reading To Own The Libs today, it’s so cute! i also love Dorley so adding some other fantastic works (both fiction) by Alyson Greaves:

When You Fell From Heaven (romance) - cheerleading trans/cis lesbian romance set in 2003. picked it up after it was mentioned in the last few megas, highly recommend both books

Kimmy (horror) - dude in the near future wears a hollowed-out android as a Halloween costume which starts to change him into someone/something else. it’s really good but be sure to check the cws, it gets dark

i’m not sure, there might be good points in the video. it came up in my recommended a few months ago. but looking at the guy’s community page i’m fairly sure he’s far-right/christian white nationalist. his comments are full of antisemitism. he seems to despise leftists of any kind but is willing to read leftist theory in order to effectively organise.

just important information to consider before consuming too much from this guy i think

yeah i remember Brigitte Empire had a good video about her dumbass takes on trans people here - https://youtu.be/mnhgEtl2HfM (the section on Sabine starts at the 11:30 mark)

i hate how she presents herself as objective and scientific whilst just talking mad shit, it’s so fucking damaging
