i feel called out, i don’t like this

ID in alt

no clue if i’ve reblogged this before but i’ve certainly seen it many times and agreed every time so

Okay so I just watched a video of a boy who once identified as trans still got bottom surgery after he realized he was cis and people were so fucking rude? Like just because this cis dude has a vagina people were calling him transphobic and wishing death upon him.

So this is a reminder that when we as a community advocate for bodily autonomy and gender surgeries that means everyone regardless of gender can do whatever they want with their bodies.

If someone who is cisgender wants top/bottom surgery THEY CAN GET IT. If someone wants facial plastic surgeries that we usually find creepy like buccal fat removal or eye lifts THEY CAN GET IT. And here’s the really controversial one but if someone wants to do things that harm their body like hard drugs or diy mods THEY CAN DO IT!

Because body autonomy isn’t just “I can get bottom surgery to pass” or “I can get an abortion” it’s also all the wild stuff that makes us uncomfortable and that’s okay.

EW WHAT DID THEY DO TO THE FORMAT.

the difference matters:

sex-positive: you want people in general to be able to sexually express themselves freely. this should ideally include asexuality. this is not about you as an individual.

sex-favourable: you want to have sex for whatever reason.

sex-neutral: you don't really have an opinion about freedom of sexual expression. this is about people in general, not you specifically.

sex-indifferent: you don't really care if you personally have sex or not, you could take it or leave it.

sex-negative: you only want people to have a limited sexual expression.

sex-averse: you don't want to participate in sex.

positive/neutral/negative refer to your stance on how sex is treated within society.

favourable/indifferent/averse refer to how you personally feel about participating in sex.

you can be a sex-averse asexual and still be sex-positive.

there's a common misconception that aces, especially sex-averse aces, are all "anti-sex", but some parts of the ace community still hasn't learned the nuance of these terms either. i still see people call sex-favourable aces sex-positive when they mean different things.

Wait hold up a sec

Pronouns are meant to give you euphoria when you find some that fit??

I’ve just been going with whatever doesn’t make me feel gross (I’m too scared to even consider neopronouns as my family doesn’t support them at all)

hello 👋

is it ok to hate certain pronouns being used for you, but having none that you really, genuinely feel good with? I use they/them but it doesn't really give me that euphoria ppl talk about so I just wanted to ask

whatever feelings you have about pronouns are always okay.

it's probably more common than people talk about too. this is actually how i felt for a long time about my pronouns in german. i definitely didn't want german he/him or she/her, but no german neopronouns or it/its gave me the "right" feeling. i ended up kinda flip-flopping around.

sometimes "this'll do" is the best option.

(there's also always the possibility of not using pronouns or using multiple sets or making up your own neopronouns.)
