"Faggot"

here’s a few tips, especially if you’re cis:

someone’s AGAB is not your fucking business

someone’s deadname is not your fucking business

someone’s transition is not your fucking business

someone’s gender dysphoria is not your fucking business

someone’s previous labels and identities are none of your fucking business

if you know someone’s deadname, just fucking ignore it. do NOT EVER introduce a trans person or talk about them like “this is steve but he used to be sarah” or “my friend steve whose deadname is sarah” or anything like that. just shut the fuck up if you don’t think you could possibly NOT do that.

9/10 depictions of trans people in media especially film/shows is wrong and stereotypical.

transphobia is a wildly different experience than homophobia

maybe? look up? transgender labels? and identities? so you aren’t constantly asking someone what their label means? or just use? logic and common sense? like oh i wonder what genderfluid means oh maybe it means a FLUID GENDER oh gee could it be?

trans people never ever NEED to disclose that they are trans, and if someone doesn’t tell you that they’re trans but you later find out? don’t confront them!! they did not “lie to you”, you just assume that everyone is cis, which is weird and transphobic!!

again do not ever ask someone what their deadname is or what there AGAB is just don’t, do not, not ever. you have no reason to need that information, you do not deserve that information, just shut up.

A Glasgow nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers in private booths to spy on unsuspecting women as they visit the toilet! With no notification or signage anywhere in the venue many female club goers have been left feeling embarrassed and used. Although they do briefly show the mirrors in a promo video, the club has been quickly deleting comments and posts on their social media from club goers trying to alert others to the situation. This is pretty much illegal and hugley violates privacy. Thank you The Shimmy Club for giving us a shiny, new, creative and cool take on objectification. article here

lmao i lost at least 7 followers after reblogging that…. anyway if you exclude nonbinary people you’re ignoring the white stripe of the trans flag; aces and aros are not straight and thus lgbt+ because theyre literally not attracted to the opposite sex, trans women are real women, and physical dysphoria is not required to be considered trans

Mid-June?, 1972: John talks to Sandra Shevey about having a partner who fulfills both creative and romantic aspirations, and the disorienting experience of working with Yoko for the first time as competitive equals in the recording studio on Some Time In New York City. (Note: @sweating-cobwebs, consider this is my gift to you.)

JOHN: It’s a plus, it’s not a minus. The plus is that your best friend, also, can hold you without… I mean, I’m not a homosexual, or we could have had a homosexual relationship and maybe that would have satisfied it, with working with other male artists. [faltering] An artist – it’s more – it’s much better to be working with another artist of the same energy, and that’s why there’s always been Beatles or Marx Brothers or men, together. Because it’s alright for them to work together or whatever it is. It’s the same except that we sleep together, you know? I mean, not counting love and all the things on the side, just as a working relationship with her, it has all the benefits of working with another male artist and all the joint inspiration, and then we can hold hands too, right?

SHEVEY: But Yoko is a very independent person. Isn’t it— [inaudible]

JOHN: Sure, and so were the men I worked with. The only difference is she’s female.

SHEVEY: But you didn’t find it difficult to make that transition?

JOHN: Oh yeah. I mean, it took me four years. I’m still not – I’m still only coming through it, you know.

baby 🥺

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

DOWNLOAD: BEATLES BOOKS AND CLIPPINGS

Making a change from the Buckingham Nicks and Fleetwood Mac stuff I usually post, lol. I thought I’d upload these for anyone interested - not many of my followers, I know, but hopefully it’ll be seen in the right tags.

Basically, these aren’t my favourite Beatles books by any means but these are the ones I have a digital copy of. I’ve also included many, many uploads of magazine scans I bought off eBay years ago, as well as some other magazine PDFs I have, and the digipaks/booklets from The Beatles remasters in 2009.
