Today's Seal Is: The Noble Unicorn

happy Thursday the 20th

the sentence "it's impossible to misgender someone using gender neutral pronouns" is very thinly veiled transphobia btw

refusing to use someone's pronouns once you know what they are is misgendering. it doesn't matter what pronouns you replace them with.

if a trans woman tells you she uses she/her pronouns, and you knowingly use they/them instead without correcting yourself, that is still misgendering.

if a nonbinary person tells you it uses he/it pronouns, and you knowingly use they/them instead without correcting yourself, that is still misgendering.

this is not a debate, this is a fact, it is misgendering

let's all go out and buy pink refreshing citrusy fruity sexually arousing drinks

Comic about trans men in the health care system I made for magazine Ottar last autumn! Please note that it presents a Swedish perspective unless stated otherwise, as it is mostly based on Swedish studies. I would however argue that it has implications on the state of healthcare for trans people in other places as well. Thank you so much Hedvig for translating this!

i cannot stress enough that because of how social media and communications platforms work, if you put something out into the world people will 1) see it 2) react to it and maybe even 3) reply publicly. unless it is a private journal or such, you should accept that if you put something out there that is inherently divisive, you will receive comments that may make you unhappy.

if you blaze a post (force randos to see it) intended for an inherently niche audience (fanfiction consumers), that's one thing. appending "minors dni" to what should be a perfectly innocuous post while also fucking blazing it (again, forcing randos to see it, including minors), will get you made fun of. doubly so if this leads people to look at your fanfics, and quadruply so if said fanfics are omegaverse stories about real people

i fucking hate my brain it wants to do so many things and it cant even focus on one of them. like its like "start an rpgmaker game!" "no, you should learn godot!" "what about your 3d models on blender??" "but you have that comic to work on!!" "you should also just draw more things in general" and im like SHUT UUUUPPP it feels like this
