So like I pretty much don't use this Tumblr anymore lol, my new one is littlecloudprince (yes, I don't identify as being emo anymore lol), so feel free to go check that out (it's basically just TSS + agere, so my DNI over there is a bit stricter since it's sorta my safespace, so please be sure to check that first). I'm prolly gonna leave this one up, but yeah, totally inactive.
To any of the accounts out there using what’s going on in the world as an excuse to further amplify your petty hate agenda against me and this community, you should absolutely fucking ashamed of yourselves. How dare you use the suffering of people to further your own petty, childish and gossip filled garbage.
Use that tenacity and passion you have to do something good with your time, especially now, instead of constantly bickering over false information every day.Be part of something better.
I normally don’t interact with this stuff because it’s incredibly childish and most of what people say is flat out wrong anyway but there are SO many more important things to discuss right now. Get involved and make the world a better place.
Please if you are going through anything tough or need someone to talk to, reach out to someone! There are always people willing to listen and people who can help. You are loved, you have worth and you are not alone!
Do you need dysphoria to be transgender?(Spoiler alert: yes)
Alex: Okay so hi hey how are you doing? So I was doing my normal evening routine of mindlessly scrolling through tumblr and I bumped into a post from someone(not gonna name any names just in case)about being transgender and dysphoria(yup, you all know where this is going). So I just wanted to educate you, as a fellow transboy that I am, and tell you, that yes, dysphoria is required to be transgender. In fact, I’m gonna let Science-Alex explain this. Take it away, Science-Alex!
Science-Alex: Thank you, Alex! Yes, let’s start with a quick science-fact! Most humans are born with 46 chromosomes(with some exceptions, such as people with Down Syndrome). Chromosomes come in pairs, therefore there typically being a total of 23 chromosome-pairs in one human. One chromosome-pair determines the sex of a human. XX chromosomes giving you female sex organs, such as vagina and ovaries, and XY giving you male sex organs, such as penis and testicles. You also should know, that scientists have proven that there a differences between a male brain and a female brain. For example the male brains utilize nearly seven times more grey matter for activity, where as the female brains utilize nearly ten times more white matter.
Transgender people, however, happen to have, in this case, male brain but female chromosomes/body. It has been scientifically proven, that for example a transboy has the brain structure of a cisboy. So, the incorrelation between one’s brain and body is what causes gender dysphoria, a mental illness that causes one to feel dissatisfaction, unease or distress related to one’s assigned sex. Therefore, proven by science, you are not transgender if you do not have dysphoria. If you don’t have dysphoria, your brain and body match, which means you are cisgender, which is fine too!
Alex: Thanks Science-Alex! He’s so helpful. So yeah, as he said, you don’t choose to be transgender, and being transgender is not easy. Being transgender sucks, looking in the mirror every morning and seeing this character who is not you, is hard. So no, you cannot be a “non-dysphoric transperson”. Also, lying about having dysphoria to professionals and stealing transgender resources when you don’t need them is not only wrong and harmful towards actual transpeople, but it will also cause you to have dysphoria, messing everything up. So, if you don’t have dysphoria, you’re cis. There’s nothing wrong with being cis though, I would literally give anything to be cis. That being said, thank you if you read this, and I’ll see you again in the next post! Bye! Say bye, Science-Alex!
So. Dan and Phil, right? I just felt the need to talk about this whole thing. First of all, no, they’re not quitting YouTube, they’ve said it themselves. Sure, Pinof and Dan vs Phil might’ve ended, but it doesn’t mean that everything will end. Things might be changing, but change isn’t always bad. I know, change might feel scary to many of you, me too, but we just have to remember that change can be good too. At this point, I don’t even care about wether Phan is real or not. I just want the boys, no, the men, to be happy. Whatever it takes for them to happy, whatever they think is the right thing to do, I will support them through it. If they’re happy, then I’m happy. I just want them to know how much we care about them. So, Dan or Phil, if you’re reading this(which is rather unlikely), I just wanted to say, that we care about you, and we love you so much there’s not enough words to describe it. Whatever you think needs to change, do it. Make the change. Try new things. Explore. We will always support you, through thick and thin, through the ups and the downs, through all the obstacles you may face, through everything, and anything. After all, an end of an era is always the beginning of a new one. The Phandom is a big ohana. Ohana means family, and family means no one is left behind. So, let’s help one another, Dan and Phil included, and make this era even better than the last one.
If you had to go back into the closet to stay safe around your family you’re amazing. It takes a lot of strength and courage to do something so hard. It has to be so hard to hear your deadname and be misgendered by so many people. I support you and your decision. You’re not less trans for doing so. Stay safe and strong.
To all those who came out and were rejected, you are brave. You stood up for who you are and there’s nothing wrong with that. You know who you are and no matter what your family says doesn’t change that. I admire your bravery for doing something so hard to do. Stay safe and strong.
To those who had no family or no place to spend the holidays, you are loved. We are a community in which we are here to love and support each other in these hard times. You’ll find a family. You’ll find someone who cares for you with all their heart. Stay safe and strong you’re not alone.
Those of which who came out and were accepted, you are amazing. You did something that is so scary and full of so much uncertainty. I’m happy you’ve found your place. Stay safe and strong.
