I'm so happy October is here! Best month ever! Iunno what I like about it, but I have a feeling it has a lot to do with the moving or the letter O or the creeeeeeepy or the Halloween. Or the Scorpio, the pumpkins, the Orange, or the pretty fall colors. Either way I'm gonna...

Some old art that I drew with a pencil in 2007, re-found, and colored digitally but forgot to put up. Art with pencil first + Scan + digi color = <3

In the meantime, you want to be the second commenter on my journal. You do.

Oh- and who wants to pick an episode of the 1995/2000 remake of The Outer Limits, watch it on Hulu with me and discuss it?
(I love the episode "First Anniversary" so much)

Edit:
Unexpected accidents and deaths having occurred during the test, the Ebonites—who are, actually, a peaceful and honorable alien civilization—eventually ask for such an immoral and inhuman experimentation to end at once, but nonetheless fail in preventing one last man to be fatally killed...
-Wiki synopsis of the episode Nightmare

I was killed once! But it wasn't fatally.

Also I should add- privilege is what you make of it. Yes, cisgender folk are lucky in that they identify with the sex they were born with, white guy might get a job sooner than black guy if every person hiring anyone ever is fucking racist (seriously there's a reason why I hate the assumption of privilege in every situation ever zomg).

If you don't let privilege effect you, you are more privileged than anyone else!

Exactly! I do what the hell I please and I have found that if you're nice to people, the system works for you. And if it doesn't, there are ways around it. There's always a way to get what you want, even if you have to haggle and fenangle a little to do it. I discovered that and I don't know how their sitting around and bitching helps them. Alright, some of their stuff is seriously legit, but the regular BAWers? They really just want stuff handed to them it looks like. "Just deal" is not an option.

I don't know what they think others have that they don't, but I'm sure half of it doesn't exist.

As Noland (another transman) said "don't those people ever want to feel normal? I thought that was the point."

Yep.

The thing is, you, as a transperson, are not required to announce your gender status to the world. You are male, and that's the only thing anyone needs to know. You are not shaming yourself by not bringing up the fact that you are transgendered, by not saying "SO YEAH I WASN'T BORN THIS WAY" etc etc. You are just accepting who you TRULY are.

The fact is, I'm fucking tired of people assuming that because I am not _________ I am obviously bigoted against it. I just want to smack people like that, who assume that if you are white you are inherently racist, if you are monosexual, you are obviously bigoted against bisexuals/pansexuals, if you are gay, you MUST hate the dirty breeders, etc etc etc. :/ It's just... are you LOOKING for people to hate you? do you WANT to be discriminated against? Not everyone hates you for the sake of hate, promise.
