Wordplay and Fencing
(via hannah2voice: cctcd)
- According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, as a prefix, Trans means “across, beyond, to go beyond.” Apply the prefix to a word like gender, and you get a word that literally means across genders.
[…]
- So, playing with prefixes, let’s make up a new word. Fluxgender. Saying I am fluxgender(ed) implies, rather, that my gender is in motion, and that there may not necessarily be a destination. Rather, my gender is constantly changing, and thus, is hard to pin down in any one checkbox.

I swear to god I will lose my mind if I hear the “sex sells” fallacy one more time. Sex does not sell. If sex sold, we would see penises where we see boobs. Naked men would be on everything that naked women are on. Sex isn’t what they’re selling you. They’re selling you an impossible, pornographically fueled misogynistic idea of the perfect woman.

The only thing you should have to do is find work you love to do. And I can’t imagine living without having loved a person. A man, in my case. It could be a woman, but whatever. I think, what I always tell kids when they get out of class and ask, ‘What should I do now?’ I always say, ‘Keep a low overhead. You’re not going to make a lot of money.’ And the next thing I say: ‘Don’t live with a person who doesn’t respect your work.’ That’s the most important thing—that’s more important than the money thing. I think those two things are very valuable pieces of information.

You grow up readin’ about pirates and cowboys and spacemen and stuff, and jus’ when you think the world’s all full of amazin’ things, they tell you it’s really all dead whales and chopped-down forests and nucular waste hangin’ about for millions of years.
