It's Not Even Funny Atp

It's not even funny atp

I was watching x-men (2000) with my nan (involving her in the all consuming brainrot) and obviously finishing off with this ending scene. Cuts to here, she says,

'Oh come on, just kiss and make up already'

I'm in a weird kind of executive dysfunction where I have so many ideas for creative projects like artworks and writing, consistently wanting to do those things, but not having the push to start or the skill to make them how I want :(

It's a good thing the character i picked to be my tav first time through is a little shit but overall doesn't want to hurt those who don't deserve it

I surely can't be the only one in this

I have never in my 20 years on this planet had a night alone to myself. I have too many siblings and other family members there's always someone here. My household has left for the weekend for a trip for my nephews birthday (i couldn't go cause of classes/projects) and the absolute peace I feel rn is insane. I love my family to bits (the immediate ones mostly), but this is lovely.

My uni is doing a dress up thing for charity for Halloween and I am 100% considering doing a basic astarion cosplay - I have the vampire fangs I just need a shirt fr

the biggest tip i can say about trans inclusive language when discussing anatomy is to just say what you mean without trying to find a euphemism, and to be specific to the conversation that you're having. if you're having a conversation about childbirth, say "people who can give birth". not everyone who can give birth is a woman and not every woman can give birth (both trans and cis), so don't say "women" or "mothers" or "females", you don't even have to say like "womb haver" or whatever. "person who can give birth" is specific and clear if you're talking about childbirth.

if you're talking about penis and testes, just say that. "men" in that context is cis-centric. "amab genitals" means nothing, since trans women can have bottom surgery, and intersex people exist in all kinds of physical expressions of sex.

avoid sexualized terms like tits/boobs (use breasts) or dick, balls, etc. those terms take on a context that can make folks feel uncomfortable about their anatomy due to the sexual context. I feel uncomfortable when people try to be inclusive and say shit like "pussy haver" but if I'm reading a medical article about vaginas I'd much rather it be addressed to "people with vaginas" rather than "women"

the more we separate language of body parts from gender identities and actually start speaking frankly and respectfully about anatomy without acting like its some taboo, the better it will be for trans and intersex people. it can help cis people too. you can be a cis woman who doesn't have a womb, you can be a cis man who doesn't have penis or testes. imo this kind of language is inclusive not only for gender non-conforming people but everyone with a physical difference in their sex characteristics, due either to genetics or a lived experience!
