Reblog To Let All The Trans People On Their Dash Know They Are Amazing Today!!!

Reblog to let all the trans people on their dash know they are amazing today!!!

A world without trans people has never existed and it never will.

Seriously just search (Trans History).

Here are some examples:

"Sumerian and Akkadian texts from 4,500 years ago document priests known as gala who may have been transgender. In Ancient Greece, Phrygia, and Rome, there were galli priests that some scholars believe to have been trans women.

Roman emperor Elagabalus (d. 222 AD) preferred to be called a lady (rather than a lord) and sought sex reassignment surgery, and in the modern day has been seen as a trans figure. 

Hijras on the Indian subcontinent and kathoeys in Thailand have formed trans-feminine third gender social and spiritual communities since ancient times, with their presence documented for thousands of years in texts which also mention trans male figures. Today, at least half a million hijras live in India and another half million in Bangladesh, legally recognized as a third gender, and many trans people are accepted in Thailand.

In Arabia, khanith today (like earlier mukhannathun) fulfill a third gender role attested since the AD 600s.

In Africa, many societies have traditional roles for trans women and trans men, some of which survive in the modern era.

In the Americas prior to European colonization, as well as in some contemporary North American Indigenous cultures, there are social and ceremonial roles for third gender people, or those whose gender expression transforms, such as the Navajo nádleehi or the Zuni lhamana."

In conclusion. Being trans is not a fad and it isn't going anywhere just because some crazy religious nut jobs say we don't fit into their abusive hateful world views. We are here and always will be. So get used to it. 👋😘

Medievalists of Tumblr: what inaccuracies annoy you the most in movies set in the Middle Ages?

Mine is probably the ‘everyone was constantly caked in mud and only wore grey and brown’ aesthetic.

honestly the sequels could have been fixed very easily if tlj wasn’t such a cluster fuck of “ill do whatever the fuck i want” with just a couple of simple plotlines:

-rey had to be luke’s long lost daughter. why? it explains why he was missing at the beginning of tfa: he’s looking for her. he doesn’t want to believe she’s dead, even after years of searching and finding nothing. even leia has given up the search, but not luke (he is and always will be the character that doesn’t give up on family.) but the search has driven him a little insane, at this point he’s kinda desperate. then this random girl shows up, sent by leia to train with luke. luke doesn’t want to train her, he’s told leia that he’s not going to train another generation of jedi to die again. not until he finds his daughter at least (which is an excuse). there you have the whole resented hermit sequence, but change it up. instead of all in a single island, luke jumps from planet to planet in the unknown regions, following clues that lead to nowhere, and rey struggles to keep up. she follows him anyway, she wants to train, she wants to defeat kylo to avenge han and protect finn.

- rey still has a force bond with kylo but it’s because of their familial relationship. she’s the only one in the family who kylo doesn’t consider himself betrayed by -she was just a kid when the temple burned. revelation: it was kylo who put her in jakku. he killed his classmates, but he wasn’t able to kill his little cousin. so he hid her, erased her memories, and gave her a new name. he promised he would come back for her, when the galaxy was in order. there you have explanation of why kylo asks “what girl” like he knows her, and why rey is waiting for her family to come back for her. you have there the explanation of kylo’s remaining light, that light that calls to him: it’s rey who has been calling out into the stars for years with no answer. 

- luke finally relents and trains her. he sees himself on rey, how he had to insist to yoda to train him. you can insert here all his thoughts about the old jedi order, about how he tried to do things differently and still failed. how he thinks this is the end of the jedi. you can also insert here hopeful rey saying she won’t fail him, but luke isn’t a trustful kid anymore. he trains her but keeps her at an arm’s length. 

- because of that, he holds back on her training. rey eventually confronts kylo and loses, and he reveals the truth to her. rey has her identity crisis and world shattering moment. have the next movie be about her mending her relationship with luke, how he was so focused on finding a ghost he couldn’t even see when she was standing in front of him. have him then give in and face leia, and join the good fight. rey now has this family legacy she doesn’t know how to handle. have that be an important motive in her relationship with finn, whose identity is entirely self made. have rey be an adopted daughter, probably an orphan from the galactic civil war who luke found as a baby and adopted as his own. her family is a chosen family, like finn’s. 

- you can also insert here luke training finn and this being a conflict with rey because he can’t be objective with her like he’s with him. finn has a bigger goal in mind: freeing the stormtroopers from the first order, and that’s the kind of bigger cause luke can easily get behind. rey’s conflict facing kylo hits too close to home. maybe the resolution is leia training rey. 

- have poe be relevant throughout his relationship with leia and by extension with kylo. explore how poe grew up in the rebellion and when his parents died leia more or less adopted him. show me kylo being incredibly resentful and jealous of poe, how he felt sidelined as a kid and how in his eyes poe isn’t special, he shouldn’t get more attention from his mother! have poe’s conflict be about how he knew kylo as a little kid and to see him transformed into this monster hurts deeply. how a simple non-force sensitive man like poe “replaced” leia’s son.

idk how i would resolve this in the end but SEE you don’t need that many changes to make the goddam trilogy work. palpatine can be back or whatever the big baddie is not what’s important here.

ok, so it bothers me how disproportionate the support for trans men vs trans women is.

im not saying trans men dont deserve all the love and support in the world but so do us trans girls, like ill go to the ftm tag an see passing tips, clothing/binder hacks, an so much stuff but the mtf tag is full of chasers sissys an crossdressers. plus yall will post stuff like

all trans women are beutiful and need protection

but when one of ours sisters gets killed, or beaten yall seem to turn a blind eye??

not saying its everyone but ive mainly found that on tumblr an instagram. the lack of mtf support makes me so frustrated and mad

this is a poll taken from a trans support insta account. 176 people responed. 94% said they are FtM or nb which is fine, but only 5.6 percent were MtF. lets round the number up to 180 and with some simple math, 170 people out of 180 trans people (in this demographic) were FtM or nb, whereas 31 people are MtF. side note, when i look up MtF dysphoria help the first thing to come up is “FtM dysphoria and passing tips”. i was crying on my bathroom floor with scissors ready to cut my genitals off and when i looked for help it wasnt even for me and my sisters. the only passing and dysphoria help i could find is for closeted trans girls which is awesome but what about passing tips for trans women who are already out? the dangers of some trans girl things didnt even become known to me until i found a post on an obscure insta account with under 100 followers which detailed the risks of thing such as tucking, wearing tight push up bras, wearing excessive makeup for a long time, and sromach thinners/ waist boosters like coursettes. this is all i have to say but please reblog this. trans women such as myself and my sisters deserve so much more attention and support than we get.

TL;DR

trans women arent given enough attention or help is the trans community these days

reblog to help out our trans sisters out there closested or not

edit 2:

it REEKS of transmysoginy how yall saw a trans woman talkin like “hey yall maybe treat us better?” an got mad. also how ppl went digging monthes back when i made this post tryina bring up old shit (that i apologized 4 an changed from) while completly derailing an takin focus away from th fact that yes, transmysoginy is a HUGE issue and how within th community we get treated like less than, espec BIpoc trans femmes.

Me, before the Ahsoka premiere: "Ugh, they're making Sabine Force-sensitive after pretty much no indication in Rebels that she had any ability or aptitude that? That's kinda dumb."

Me, after watching the first two episodes: "Listen, give me mediocre at being a Jedi but still a Jedi Sabine Wren. She is Force-sensitive, she's just the worst at it you've ever seen. She can barely lift a pebble using the Force but, it's okay, she's got WESTAR-35s. We've had enough Jedi prodigies and geniuses, they can't all be talented. Give us mandalorianboss but jedifail Sabine, I crave it with my entire being. I've only had two episodes of not-very-Force-sensitive Sabine but if anything happens to her I will kill everyone in this galaxy and then myself."
