Actually tumblr should do two things: notify you when you’ve been blocked and implement a dislike button. I want to see blood. If I was an ancient Roman I would have had season tickets to the colosseum

Colleen. 25. Bi. Cis woman. She/her pronouns. Probably a bunch of fandom stuff with a bit of social justice things. Check out my Ao3: That-One-Curly-Haired-Fangirl

the thing is that when well-meaning cis people ask “what are your preferred pronouns” they never offer their own pronouns in exchange, and they don’t ask anyone who isn’t visibly gender nonconforming. Instead of “normalizing” sharing pronouns, what this actually does is train cis people to 1) look for and 2) single out trans people in public in order to perform allyship in a way that is mostly self gratifying. and then they’ll still misgender you
Okay what can I do to get someone’s pronouns in a respectful way if I’m not sure? Because it’s something that I’ve been kinda concerned about cause i can’t go around asking everyone their pronouns (Deep South. Just….not a good idea) but I’m never sure how to go about getting someone else’s and I don’t want to misgender anyone.
Don’t ask strangers their pronouns in public, unless it’s a LGBT only space where that would be accepted. If you’re genuinely unsure about somebody’s presentation, just avoid gendered terms or use “they” if you have to. Let people correct you if they want to correct you, and be graceful about it. If you’re in friendly company, introduce yourself with your own pronouns first to signal that reciprocation is welcome. If you absolutely must, you can ask somebody in private.
Misgendering people unknowingly is not a mortal sin. I allow myself to be misgendered all the time because it’s safer, or because I don’t want to out myself. Somebody might tell you “my pronouns are she/her, but use he/him at work or around my family” and you have to respect that! Visibility is not always a good thing when you’re a trans person existing in the world.
Sometimes the best way to be an ally is to mind your business.

i think we all have that one piece of media we like that’s basically “i love this thing, but i dont think everyone should watch this thing and would not categorically recommend it to other people i know, this thing has a lot of problems and i am the first person you should ask if you want to know a long list of criticisms, but i REALLY ENJOY THIS THING” its like holding up a can of trash to everyone else and saying “you are a reasonable person and you would not enjoy touching this garbage and i value that about you” and then pouring it out on the ground and rolling around in it yourself
