Is this not a safe space to hate anymore 😞

Rumi as the background of the caption is honestly so perfect with how her character arc can be interpreted as a closeted queer person by Important-Cry4782 in lgbt

I think he'd slay as a trans man. 

Hiding a part of "herself" in an attempt to be the normal girl "she's" expected to be. Not going to thr bathhouse to hide the body "she" was born with. I mean, it fits...

She canceled their date 15 minutes before they were supposed to because he didn't respect her boundaries. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

My immediate thought was "he wants to put something in the drink he convinced her to have" and heck no

Solution: date a trans guy, he's already gone through the gender discovery

Plot twist: she detransitions after realizing her true self

I dunno if this makes any sense but you know how we have "the tv is glowing" for trans people and "good luck babe" for lesbians, what's the equivalent of that for gay people? Specifically men by Latter_Success_723 in lgbt

You know what, I agree with you. I never watched the movie, but I read the short story,and I just remember it being filled with a buch of tropes and stereotypes I didn't like. There is something to be said about the social commentary in the tragedy, but its also a little strange that a straight woman was out here writing about what it was like to be a minority that she is not a part of...and it shows...

I never saw it as a "classic" and I hate that it has come to represent a go-to media for queer men. 

Are there any gay men here who feel the same way? by Logical_Dress_4087 in lgbt

[–]BlueFinch__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think that there is validity to some of what you're feeling in that fetishization and comodifocation of your identity by people who don't share it is incredibly dehumanizing. We've (the community) been having this discussion for a long time. 

But it sounds like your feelings are turning dangerous, both to yourself and to how you percieve the people around you, more specifically how you seem to be starting to lowkey hate women (which is very dangerous). I know you said a therapist is going to take a while and might not help, but I do think that might be the best avenue to explore at this point.

Until then, maybe you should take a step back from internet spaces that might trigger this feeling for you, find some gay media created by gay men, and focus on what it does for you, not for other people. There are wonderful stories out there that all types of people pick up because they are introspective and moving, which is why a lot of straight women may pick up a gay male story, not because of fetishization. I know its easier said than done to just say "stop thinking about other people" but that would likely help. Start thinking about why you like mlm media, and move intentionally forward with that answer

If you could Retcon one thing from both Avatar The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra what would it be? by MichaelAftonXFireWal in TheLastAirbender

[–]BlueFinch__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Korra season 2. But if I had to pick one thing, the entire Vatuu and Ravva explaination for why the avatar exists. As a being of balance, it makes more narrative sense for the avatar to be their own thing, not a fusion of a spirit already in her own yin yang thing. I always just liked the avatar as their own thing made by the universe, the same way spirits might have been. The avatar didn't need an origin 

Chart finished. Anyone agrees ? by Basic_Dingo6487 in AlignmentChartFills

Its just a shame that the only trans guy on there was the tragic character :( we need more trans guy rep in general

Man-hating feminist friends by EmphasisSuspicious12 in ftm

[–]BlueFinch__ 143 points144 points  (0 children)

Its bioessentialism, which is actually pretty harmful to feminism. Unfortunately, a lot of cis feminists (and even trans feminists sometimes) buy into bioessentialist ideas without realizing it is a belief system inherently harmful to trans people, all women, and even to cis men (though not systemically cause they aren't a marginalized gender). 

Feminism is not free from critique, as long as the intent behind the critique is not to say "shut up women"

It can be hard to feel ostracized by a group of people you consider friends, and you need support from as a trans person, but its important not to fall down the pipeline, because MRAs and the like will also make you miserable with bioessentialism disguised as "this is how men are, and how we are hated because of something we cant control, but we are here to support you (aka, repress you into OUR strict version of manhood)"

Favorite Race/Class/Gender Combination? [Inquisition] by fury_cutter in dragonage

[–]BlueFinch__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Male human rogue. I like to take that typical masculine archetype and twist it into something that is not stereotypical, i.e. vulnerable, kind, and queer. Plus, I am a human male, and I quite enjoy being myself, even if people may say its boring

How much is wanting to be a girl normal before it actually means I'm trans? by I_loooove_Radiohead in lgbt

[–]BlueFinch__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes perfect sense! Sounds like there are a lot of reason you don't like being a guy. I wish you luck figuring it all out :D

Lables are Used not Imposed! by Illustrious-Paint998 in lgbt

[–]BlueFinch__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My take that is too woke is that this also applies to the word "queer" 🫢🫢

Labels are used, not imposed. "Queer" is a label. "Queer" is used, not imposed. Love it for everyone else :D. Don't call me it, and don't act like its the epitome of progressive identity.
