I Finished The First Book In The Ever After High Trilogy And Have Been Consumed With Apple Thoughts

FRIENDLY REMINDER:

transfem ≠ a trans amab person

transmasc ≠ a trans afab person

an afab person can be transfem

an amab person can be transmasc

an intersex person can be transfem/transmasc

someone can be transfem and transmasc

these labels aren’t talking about genitals, they’re talking about the intersection of being trans and identifying/presenting in a masc/fem way

I get that we normally use these terms in this way, but it just presents another form of binary thinking if there is no flexibility to these labels, which is pretty ironic considering these labels were made to be inclusive of nonbinary people.

By limiting the meaning of these labels, we only hurt Trans people. We exclude nonbinary people, multigender people, trans intersex people, trans systems, and so many more.

btw I’ve found these stretches from the WAK blog very helpful when knitting a lot:

Plus make sure to take breaks regularly - and stop if anything starts to hurt!

especially with gift knitting I know it can be tempting to push through it for a deadline, but it’s really not worth causing long term injury. (And anyone knit-worthy should be understanding of that, imho.) Stay well :)

tip jar

For me, being an AMAB enby, whenever I put on more “masculine” clothes I always feel like I’m performing masculinity, truly as a performance. Not to say that that’s bad, it isn’t, is just interesting to think/see this act of creation/interpretation I go through, is almost as if I’m an actor stepping in the shoes of a character.

Again, that’s not to say that this is something bad or that I’m not being truthful with myself, is just this self reflection and realization that gender at its core IS performance, a big compilation of arbitrary rules, gender is nothing but a play we all have a part in, some of us just have to go through auditions more than once.

In case anyone wants it, this is the Tarot spread that Lilia did
