from what i’ve seen wlw tumblr is like a group of girls at a sleepover talking about how pretty girls are and how much they want girlfriends meanwhile over here in mlm tumblr it’s like a national geographic special about twinks competing for mates
bad trans headcanon tropes to leave behind for 2018
trans man binds with ace bandages until a Good Cis Ally gets him a binder
“this is my buff trans wife and i want her to murder me” and other various phrases that make the association that trans woman = violent
trans man is in a state of undress when another character walks in on him shirtless, which outs him as trans against his will
character who is a man (or uses he/him pronouns) in canon gets headcanoned as a trans woman and then in the trans headcanon fanart she’s drawn even buffer and hairier than in canon just to prove how Obviously Not Cis she is
drawing cis characters like regular people but then stylizing your trans headcanons to emphasize the characteristics of their ASAB
exclusively headcanoning thin adolescent white boys as trans men
headcanoning Real, Actual People as trans
referring to adult characters as “boys” if you headcanon them as trans; infantilizing trans men in general
not bothering to draw body hair on your cis characters, but always including body hair on your trans women headcanons.
having cis love interests say anything along the lines of “i love you no matter what parts you have :)” like they deserve a fuckin medal
only writing/drawing trans characters in nsfw situations / fetishization in general
Man on the street: Excuse me, could I please see your karyotype, birth certificate, and a picture of your genitalia? I was going to sexually harass you, but then I remembered you may not be assigned female at birth.
Transwoman: Actually, I’m a trans””””woman”””””. Take a look at my Y chromosome!
Man on the street: Oh, sorry my Dude! Carry on then, my fellow Male comrade in the war against true wombyn.
Transwoman: Good luck! I’m going to go to the women’s restroom and harass women there. That is, after all, the only reason I went through hormone replacement, voice therapy, hair removal, facial surgery, and cut off ties with people I care about but did not respect my decision.
can you believe luke was a fashion icon, obsessed with space, stared at the sun for prolonged periods of time, ran away from his problems, and lived alone on a mountain for decades drinking milk and people STILL think hes straight?
This is such a small step but seeing it in the store today honestly made my day. We still have a long way to go but these little things make me smile.
I NEED THIS OMG
Whoa there! This is an area I am WEIRDLY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT. You want to know where to buy them? LET ME RECOMMEND YOU SOME.
I work at a greeting card shop, a mom-and-pop (but really single mom shop) kind of place and I have to add to this!
Companies have just started to make wedding cards featuring same-sex couples in the last two years. This year for the first time a major distributor made same sex Valentines Day cards! I was over the moon!
This is from Papyrus! They are a great card company that you can get at loads of stores like Target.
BUT THEIR WEDDING ONES ARE BRAND NEW AND AWESOME.
See that matching set of ties? That was our best selling wedding card about four to six months after marriage equality became legal in our state! Do you know how many nervous old women I had to help pick out a same-sex card? LIKE SO MANY.
I had a man in his 90′s who was super nervous even ask me (quote), “I don’t mean to be offensive I just don’t know the word for a girl who likes girls and I don’t know what card to get my great niece.” And I was like, “The word is lesbian, you aren’t being at all offensive, and this card here will be perfect.” BEST DAY OF MY WORKING LIFE OKAY.
Meri-Meri cards also have great same sex cards!! The Mr. and Mr. banner is also one of our best selling wedding cards!
BUT HOLD THE FUCK UP.
BECAUSE LET’S TALK ABOUT ANOTHER CUSTOM CARD SHOP LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY FROM US.
