ey/em/eir pronouns

This is just getting ridiculous now. Where did this shit come from? Never seen these before. I've seen zie, hir, etc but never these.

Haha, perfect.

Ey/em/eir is actually one of the older modern attempts at gender neutral pronouns - first coined in the 70s, with variants popularized in the 80s and 90s by Michael Spivak and the creators of LambdaMoo.

I did not know that. Thanks for the info. Still kind of find them to be a bit silly though.

Re: Trans* slurs

[(Anonymous)]

Or maybe that makes it worse. You're in your mid-twenties, you should've gotten over this crap by now.

Re: Trans* slurs

Yeah, whenever I see something like that on a Tumblr profile my brain reads it as "probably heterosexual white girl who needs something to be oppressed about."

Re: Trans* slurs

Well, that's quite a lot of ranting, and involves an awful lot of assumptions on the part of the ranter. Looking at a piece of fan art, how the hell do you know how the characters identify if identity can be completely independent of presentation and body? If the characters are clothed, how do you know what kind of genitals they have if their clothes cannot be taken as an indication of sex? Sounds like the one with the problems is the person posting this rant (who, to be fair, is not the person whose tumblr you linked to) and not the fanartists.

That post is just... daft.

I've seen fic that has always-a-girl character who in canon is male, where she finds the female role in her society restrictive. That sounds very much like trans* issues to my knowledgeable cis mind.

I wish male-character-gets-turned-female fics would actually take more into account how the sex-changed character would be unhappy/uncomfortable/dysphoric about it, instead of playing it for laughs.

But if I want trans* fic, I'll go find trans* fic and hope it's really looking at properly, instead of pulling crap out it's proverbial ass.
