OYA!!! Insert *visible happiness* meme
So a lot people are upset and being rather transphobic about Sister, the transgender clone trooper from 2022 now recently getting official art. I'm just going to make a short post to air my own grievances about the complaints.
"Kaminoans would turn her into protein paste for being defective"
Clone Trooper 99 was defective and was still utilized. He died with honor while fighting alongside his brothers.
"Kaminoans would never use defective clone troopers"
Chances are you never watched the Bad Batch or paid attention to anything outside the pew pews.
"All clones are male"
Omega from Bad Batch
"Clone troopers are all made to be the same and not be distinct"
Literally in the first episode of the Clone Wars series, Yoda points out how despite being clones, each one is unique. This is pre-Disney buyout of Lucasfilm, no excuses here. (0:38 seconds in)
I'm not trans or in the LGBTQ community so take what I say next with a grain of salt (I'm your basic cishet male).
If anything, my only complaint is that I feel the color on her armor is a bit too on the nose. I had a similar problem with The Acolyte with Osha being all "Is he, or they, with us?". Just keep it to the point and natural and ask "Are they with us?"
I just feel the colors are a bit too on the nose are these are earth trans-flag colors (or close to it). While purples and blues are one of my favorite color schemes, why are we using earth-trans colors? Or perhaps a short backstory for the significance of these colors to Sister?
Just keep it in plain sight without having to draw it out. The trans Twi'lek from Book of Boba Fett is a good example.
But yeah if you're misgendering her and referring to her as "it", then you're a pos and can go jump in a Sarlacc pit.
That is my take on the current Star Wars discourse going on. Transphobia sucks and those complaining about this haven't really paid attention to the messages in Star Wars whatsoever.
reminder to worldbuilders: don't get caught up in things that aren't important to the story you're writing, like plot and characters! instead, try to focus on what readers actually care about: detailed plate tectonics
Just give me a box of patterned or uncoloured plasters any day and I will just feel *~* happines*~*
Reblog if you believe people can cuddle without it being romantic or sexual.
i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"
I... I don't think the patient's weight got entered correctly. Just a hunch
Hopefully the agonies have abated by now, but if you're still taking questions I'd be curious to know; favourite plesiostene (God knows if I spelled that right) megafauna? Hard mode; can't be from Eurasia.
Changes every so often but I am endlessly charmed by the literally everything that was happening in Australia. Especially the giant Kangaroo Macropus titan and Procoptydon goliath, the short-faced kangaroo,
look at his fucked up little feetsies :)
it's not just about love
throughout the month of june, but especially today, on international pride day, "love is love" is being slapped everywhere. and while thats an important part of pride and we do fight for equality, seeing the queer movement being boiled down to that always hurts me. as a trans person (and also as someone on the aromantic spectrum), every single "love brings us all together!" and "everyone has the right to love!" feels more and more like a slap in the face.
every day, there's more anti trans legislation. more transgender, especially trans women and transfeminine people of color, are murdered. more trans men commit suicide. this cant be solved with love by itself.
every day, the societal gender norms are shoved down the throats of nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender nonconforming people. these people constantly suffer with not only microaggressions that discredit and invalidate their identities, their non-traditional pronouns, their expressions, but also with actual violent acts just because they dare to exist. and i won't even go into talking about the violence that intersex children are subjected to and how these bodies are made invisible. what does all this have to do with the "right to love"?
if this kind of question has never crossed your mind, i hope you take this post as an invitation to re-evaluate your role as an ally to queer people whose identity is NOT just about their relationships and who they are attracted to, romantically or sexually. what do you do to help the fight this huge part of the community?
not everything can be solved with a rainbow flag emoji.
