HIIIIIII FELLOW PEOPLE WHOS GENDER WAS STOLEN BY THE GENDER GOBLIN

That’s understandable, i didn’t know she was a legendary, but i have mixed feelings about them myself. They’re cool but… odd. Sometimes really pretty though!

Hey, have you ever met or heard of “♀ .” ?

She’s a really cool pokemon that’s over 80 feet tall, but she tends to cause paralysis by her presence alone. I think she’s a really pretty mon!

…

I WAS NEVER A FAN OF THE GLITCH CITY LEGENDARIES.

It's funny how a silly fictional character can come into your life and then take over your entire brain chemistry

Indeed, i like seeing peoples artstyles

Saw a thread on Twitter of "gifts to give a person with ADHD and autism" that was full of stereotypical and quite frankly patronizing items, so here's a list of I (autistic individual) want instead as a gift

Money

Fourteen billion dollars

Free coupon to kill somebody with my teeth

Suitcase full of money

Cool looking rock

Scratching post for me to sink my claws into

An albino elephant

The head of Jeff Bezos mounted on my wall

Uncooked rice

A cup full of blood

100k in cash

How ironic that this was also the year i got into Tsubasa (read the manga when i got it from the school library, finished the series about an hour ago, had been reading it over the last week or so)

We did it!!

🥳

Art trade with @guiltywarden

I love Pokemon so much, and I really like how Sableye is offering Banette the gem as a snack!

you know how it is

DONT LIKE, REBLOG

so people who do this may see it.

The growing problem of "they" for trans people

Something I've noticed growing more common in my life recently has been people using exclusively "they" when referring to binary trans people who don't use "they"

Why is this a problem?

Using "they" when referring to someone when you don't know is seen as "better" in a lot of spaces now, which I can agree with as you don't know what their actual pronouns are. The problem I've noticed is that when meeting a trans person, a lot of people seem to default to "they" even after being told what pronouns they actually prefer. This can be for a lot of reasons, but the most common ones I hear are "I didn't want to assume" and "its not misgendering, they is neutral!"

Example situation

Person A meets person B, a trans woman. A doesn't know B's pronouns and so refers to B as "they." B corrects A, saying she prefers "she," but A continues to say "they" because its gender neutral. However, A does not do the same to cis women.

Do you see the problem now?

The use of exclusively "they" on trans people but not cis people, no matter your excuse, shows that you don't really see them as what they identify as and is quite transphobic since you're literally ignoring their identity and not seeing them as how they want to be seen.

"Okay, what should I do?"

Simple, just ask them their pronouns and then ACTUALLY USE THEM!! If he says he, DONT USE EXCLUSIVELY THEY! If she says she, DONT USE EXCLUSIVELY THEY! If they say they, well. yeah, use they, obviously. If xe say neopronouns and you don't know how to use those, just ask! If any part of someone's identity confuses you, just fucking ask them instead of assuming, for the love of god, and once they tell you, don't ignore what they said.

That's all. Just please stop calling people who don't use "they" by that.
