People not being satisfied with the level of strange (or minorities, for that matter) so they have to keep adding MORE and MORE and MORE.

But POC Cecil barely ever has a third eye in the art I see!

This is racist and someone should yell at them.

Well, that is true. But Carlos is also trans*MTFTM, dolphin otherkin, with Loki and Barack Obama headmates.

But Carlos is also trans*MTFTM

I am now horribly awaiting the day someone on tumblr claims this as a valid identity.

fucking hell

Maybe that's what I am then. I thought I was a cis female with non-stereotypical interests and presentation, but no, I think I can lay claim to this label!!

Okay, so maybe there are some people for whom this works. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I think there's some snowflaking going on too.

There are actually some people who I've heard of who are detransitioning. I'm not sure if they'd identify themselves as, say, MTFTM so much as just straight up male, but I've seen the accronym used (with brackets around the TM).

in other words... folks that realized they made a mistake and were never actually trans? Cause it sounds like "look i'm still a snowflake" to me.

[personal profile] poisonenvy 2013-10-24 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, pretty much. I actually find it really frustrating because I find lately a whole lot of people are like "Omg, I'm not stereotypically male/female, I must be trans*/Genderqueer/genderfluid" without sitting back and thinking about just how sexist it is for people to go "Lol, I don't like shoes/make-up/shopping so I must not be a woman"/"I don't like sports/cars so I must not be a man."

I realize a lot of people who identify as the above don't believe that sort of thing, but I've definitely had genderqueer friends be like "I got a new computer! Now I know how women feel about shoes" and I stare at them like "Uhm, I own like, three pairs of shoes. Including my winter shoes."

...shit. I have many feelings about this. Given my own relationship with my body and gender.

[personal profile] poisonenvy 2013-10-24 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
I don't mean to offend anyone. =) I totally get that a lot of trans*/non-binary people actually are, truly, trans*/non-binary. For some people it just feels akin to someone being "Omg, I think Angelina Jolie/Johnny Depp is attractive, I must totally be a lesbian/gay."

Oh, I was agreeing you. I've struggled with wondering if I'm non-binary for ages, comparing myself to non-cis friends. But the other objection I've had is that I think I might be gender essentialising myself, and that's what I'm leaning towards atm (while feeling conflicted), and it's just... depressing reading about genderqueer-identifying people saying ridiculous shit like that.

I'm NOT thinking this is all genderqueer people - but I have the suspicion that for some tumblr types, if they received even a tenth of the shit that some genderqueer people receive IRL in less supportive close-knit-inner-city-or-online-community environments, they might not be so keen on the identity.

Yeah, K, we get it, you don't like SJWs. We finally have a Night Vale secret that isn't about them, and you want to make it about them anyway?

That is not how you banter! Learn from Chard.

You're hardly worth the effort.

:C Okie. Though my comment actually said nothing about SJWs and was more about Tumblr in general.

Are you seriously comparing strangeness to being non-white?
kaijinscendre: (Default)

[personal profile] kaijinscendre 2013-10-24 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
No.

Are you seriously reaching for race-wank?

I always imagined him as originally human.

The tentacles, tattoos, and increasingly metro-sexual clothing irk me to no end, but I *was* sold on the eye thing because it's this constant, like his glasses, so people could bring that into their cosplay etc, plus I've noticed that it's a very fashionable design element right now; eyes, slime etc.

I think it could bring a lot of character to his mannerisms too, and if it's NOT something 'natural' or something he was born with, then I'm down with that. It could have scary religious undertones, and just add a freaky body horror flavor. I like it.
