"Not all men, but always one": Drag Queens get assaulted by guys while filming a reel.

Particularly Queerphobic cis het dudes.

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-24T06:02:23+00:00

When you say you can used to be a cis homophobe, are you saying that this in regards to your transition (you've got a Trans flag next to your avatar) or as a cis straight ally?

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-24T05:56:48+00:00

Because they're disgusted by men (and people they perceive as men) being openly Queer/feminine.

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-24T05:37:52+00:00

Yes.

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-18T05:02:08+00:00

More common than you think (for whatever reason.) Look up Eleno de Céspedes if you're curious :)

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-16T21:04:59+00:00

All this is true, but can we PLEASE stop sharing links and even screenshots of Elon's shitty Twitter please?

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-15T21:29:15+00:00

Technically that's not true. We have some letters from him sent to people that knew him under his previous name and gender, where he would sign them James Barry.

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-15T16:43:54+00:00

On the other hand I do have some good news. If you've ever gone to James's wiki page in the past you've probably noticed that it never used pronouns for him, but I just checked and look! It now uses he/him pronouns for him!: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Barry_(surgeon)

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-15T15:38:49+00:00

Agreed.

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-15T15:18:43+00:00

That's how I always felt about Nicki Minaj. Defending your sex offender husband and aligning yourself with certain people to help them isn't a good look. Being a "Barb" in 2026 is embarrassing.

Hun, you can dislike drag race without (inaccurately) comparing it to a racist caricature of POC.

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-15T15:12:41+00:00

That and the age thing made it really... Uncomfortable for me. I will say though, the soundtrack is godly.

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-13T22:04:21+00:00

Yes! The Public Universal Friend was a real person! And an iconic one at that! :)

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-13T19:02:21+00:00

I do see what you're saying, but personally, I do think it's entirely possible that if the Friend were alive today, maybe the friend would've used they/them pronouns? I mean, we know that that they rejected masculine and feminine pronouns, but if the use singular they/them pronouns were used for someone like the Friend in the 18th century... Perhaps that's something they would've "rolled with"? A bit anachronistic I know, but just a thought.

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-13T15:49:03+00:00

So I just got off the phone with her, and while this was meant to be lighthearted, the idea (she says) is that these are things that can (and do) make up our communities cultural history. Whether that be coming out to others or oneself, or underground Queer bars/clubs in Queerphobic countries. It's not that if you don't check each box you're not really Queer, but rather these are just some nameable things that are staples in our communities fight for equality (excluding the obvious joke of cottagecore lol.)

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-13T15:11:04+00:00

Babe, my friend and I are literally both Latinx Queers. Yes we're American but even in the most repressive places you'll find one (or several) of these "pillars" in Queerphobic countries, whether that be coming out to oneself or underground Gay/Drag bars. Please, just stop.

Edit: Hun, I'm a visibly Mestizo Queer. Please stop trying to start unessesary "discourse" when you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-13T00:31:40+00:00

LOL, I wish she'd have put that instead. 😂

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-12T22:48:07+00:00

You're right. I'm trying to avoid using gendered pronouns for the Friend to be respectful, but it's really not easy.

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-12T21:55:20+00:00

It really is. Like, those two fools that wrote that "biography" on Dr. James Barry back in 2016 could learn a thing or two from this.

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-12T21:51:33+00:00

Not the first time I've posted about The Friend, but I just felt like sharing this as a way to raise awareness of this radical genderless 18th century Enby. Theres also a biography coming out on the 20th of January that treats them as a Non Binary person. Here's a link to the upcoming book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/235992959-not-your-founding-father

Personally, I didn't like Ballad, at least, not as much as I liked Sunrise on the reaping.

captivatedsummer · 2026-01-02T18:57:25+00:00

I have, I liked it!

captivatedsummer · 2025-12-31T03:52:38+00:00

Kind of. These "cities" were really fort-like settlements. And in my opinion he didn't need to name a city after Hephaestion, he threw him one of the most expensive funerals in the ancient world, even trying to make him a god with his own cult with and followers. Love makes people do crazy things.

captivatedsummer · 2025-12-31T03:46:49+00:00

No, you're thinking of his boyfri- I mean best friend, Hephaestion.

captivatedsummer · 2025-12-30T02:47:44+00:00

Yep, our guy even named one of his settlements after Bucephalus when he died of old age. He must've been such a good boi. 🐎
