I tried to combine the military-style badassitude of Renner Hawkeye with the fabulosity of his classic outfit, specifically Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Hawkeye. This is what happened. Because it takes a real badass to rock the head-to-toe fuchsia look, amiright??

Today I had a lecture about belief/religion and the lecturer asked what we believed in and some guy shouted “Sherlock Holmes” and then some other kid shouted back “Richard Brook was innocent” and they glared at each other across the room and then the lecturer just carried on with a slightly concerned look on her face.

tofuboots: regijosh: octopusboner: sometimes I feel like the cisgender lgb...
sometimes I feel like the cisgender lgb community is so fucking self-absorbed that when they are confronted with an identity they don’t understand, instead of asking “oh what does that mean I’ve never heard of that” they just go “lol stop making up identities we don’t have any room for more letters on our flags and flyers” sometimes I feel the trans lgb community is so fucking self-absorbed that when they are confronted with some people who don’t know any better and haven’t been truly introduced into something they don’t know much about, instead of taking a rational approach and explaining to to others what they are, they just take it as a personal attack and attack back at the so called cis lgb community with stupid text posts, instead of doing something useful with their time. It’s not our job to educate you and pull your head out of your ignorant ass for you. In fact I think it’s so far up there that you might not be worth the time. There’s this thing called the internet that has a wide breadth of information on the subject and if you were truly compelled to “take a rational approach” you’d do a simple google search or two. I hesitate to even call you transphobic because what you’re exemplifying is pure laziness and an unnecessary backlash against someones legitimate anger towards a community who often brushes off our existence, like you just did, sir. ZING. Well said, both @octopusboner and @tofuboots. At which point I join in… I’ve heard a lot of funny things come out of cis LGB people’s mouths. People who are supposedly allies. And not just about trans* identities, this happens to any identity that isn’t LGB. “What does is have to do with me?” “Why does is matter to me?” “Why do I have to do anything about this?” “How does this help me?” “As a cis ally, why does gender identity and PGPs matter to me?” “It doesn’t affect me, why does it matter?” I have heard these all in different forms, from different people, who claim to be allies. I’ve also had a very interesting conversation with someone who asked what someone who was genderqueer was assigned at birth. In a public forum. And when called out on it, he refused to understand why what he had asked was rude, and stated “I don’t care about their gender, I just want to know their sex.” Transphobia/Acephobia/Biphobia/ is not just spreading hate, it’s also not educated yourself, it’s refusing to acknowledge someone’s identity, it’s making sure that if you are called out for being rude or transphobic/acephobic/biphobic that you ask why what you said was wrong and learning from that. APOLOGIZE AND LEARN BETTER. Many of the people who we call out have been informed, they have been called out before. THEY ARE REPEAT OFFENDERS. Or they don’t even ask to be educated, that’s what the post was about. It was saying that in order to educate people in new identities, the people who need to be educated should be willing to learn and not deny any new identities they may not understand. IF SOMEONE STATES THEIR IDENTITY AND YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS, ASK FOR CLARIFICATION! Say, “I’m sorry, I’m unfamiliar with that term, what does that mean?” DON’T say “Another term? Stop making stuff up.” And it’s not just trans* identities that get brushed under the carpet or dismissed: And that’s just the surface. Too many people in our LGBTQ* community are afraid to speak out because a surprisingly large portion of the LG part of our community says that we either don’t exist (some people towards trans*, bi, pan, intersex, queer and ace), are faking for attention (bi, pan, ace, queer, intersex, trans*), or don’t belong (ace, intersex, trans*). Not to mention our LGBT “role models” who deny our existence and make fun of us. Tell us that we should out ourselves to the people who we date during the first date. Tell us that we are a disease and we’re probably not what we say we are. Tell us that we’re lying, that we don’t know what we’re talking about, and try to define our identities without asking. I’m going on a huge rant now, so I’m just going to leave it on this note: there’s a difference between being self-centered and speaking out on our experiences after being silenced by our “allies” for years.
