Don't Use "ftm" It's Outdated And Offensive. It Implies That The Trans Person Was Their Agab, Which We

don't use "ftm" it's outdated and offensive. it implies that the trans person was their agab, which we never were. i was always a boy, never a girl who became a boy.

i'm 35 years old. i've been IDing as trans or something similar to trans for nearly 20 years. i was probably calling myself FTM while you were playing tag during recess, anon.

i WAS a girl. i IDed as a girl early in my life. i recognized myself as a girl, called myself a girl, lived as a girl, and was a girl. who then IDed as a man. hence, F t M.

spend more time worrying about yourself instead of strangers on the internet, anon.

sorry not sorry if this comes off as needlessly hostile, but i've been getting a lot of shit from a lot of teenage trans kids about the language i use to describe my own goddamn experience, and i'm growing real fuckin weary of it.

i have elder trans friends who call themselves transsexuals and transvestites and trannies. are you going to seriously go to a 60-year-old trans person who survived the reagan years and tell her she's not allowed to use certain language to describe herself because it might offend the delicate sensibilities of some teenager on the internet?

do yourself a favor and log off, find some real-life trans people who are over the age of 20 or 25, and spend time talking to them instead of getting all holier-than-thou at random strangers on tumblr.

Blackbeard: Are you ready to commit?

Stede: like a crime or a relationship?

Blackbeard: . . . both works for me

why did they frame that scene that way. why does eddie walk into the bar and the only person that doesn’t have their back turned to them is buck. why does it focus on buck laughing and having such a good time. why buck. why eddie. i know WHY but like the framing choices the way they set that scene up will haunt me for the rest of my life. they could have had ravi see eddie then but no ravi saw him in the car park when eddie had already left. instead they had it be eddie see buck laughing and joking without him and that’s what made him turn around and leave without saying anything. tim minear i’m biting your ankles

I believe there's some kind of pattern

isaac specifically saying that he reads tons of romance books and he knows what romance supposed to be like but he still doesn't know how it's supposed to feel in real life oh that's a particularly brutal species of aroace pain that i understand deeply and i really want to hug him
