BEFORE YOU FOLLOW...
- I reclaim "nigga" and "queer", and use them a lot in passing. That said, as a disabled person, I don't think the r slur is reclaimable. I will voice that stance if addressed by it.
- I tend to steer away from online discourse nowadays unless it is absolutely pressing, such as instances of antiblackness or transphobia. I don't have the patience for most of it. For mutuals: I will unfollow and/or block you if it is consistently put on my feed. No hard feelings. See my DNI for more details.
- I am prone to using all caps and keysmashing when reacting to things. I also use all caps when I feel extremely passionate about something, so it's usually not negative.
I also use tone tags on occasion. My tone is often miscontrued, and as a result, I may overthink when trying to share my thoughts. I better communicate this way if I feel that my tone may be taken the wrong way. That said, I know tone tags may not be helpful for everyone so I may spell them out for clarity's sake.
- I don't take kindly to people who joke about or mock the alterhuman and nonhuman communities (be it otherkind, therianthropes, general nonhumans, etc) as I am alterhuman myself. Unless you want to learn more about the community, I do not tolerate any ignorance or disrespect.
I will not hestitate to correct you if I find that you are spreading misinformation about alterhumanity or nonhumanity as well.
Do not refer to me as a "kinnie" or refer to that word on my posts. - I don't believe transmisandry is the proper term for transmasc-specific oppression, because misandry as a concept is no different than "reverse racism" and "heterophobia" in my opinion.
That said, I firmly believe we should have our own term for the oppression we face. Personally, I prefer and encourage the usage of 'anti-transmasculinity' instead. It highlights the oppression we are subjected to as transmasculine people while avoiding pulling from a concept like misandry.
Lastly, if I follow someone who *has done something wrong, please DM me with context before issuing any ultimatums or tagging me in a "You follow" post. I'm often busy at my job or helping my family out and can't keep track of every single thing on social media.
Messaging me directly goes a long way!
*And by this, I mean a serious problem. Do not involve me in discourse if it chalks up to that.
