Anti-trans propagandists present trans people as making new and radical demands because they don't want to admit that they're stripping trans people of rights that they've enjoyed for DECADES.
...Assumption #2 is "Trans people are a brand-new minority group, so you just need to be patient until the rest of society is finally ready to accept you." even though this is completely untrue, many cis ppl sadly seem to believe it... juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...

The psychic children all revealing that they've been dreaming of Godzilla's return is one of my favorite scenes in the entire franchise.
Godzilla vs Biollante is an inspired sequel with a majestic new kaiju for Godzilla to tangle with. The story, blending sci-fi espionage with a scientist's desperate grief, didn't light up the box office. But it did ensure that, years later, Biollante would become a fan-favorite.

If trans people & our loved ones not voting would lose you the election then maybe its not us that needs to budge on our basic human decency and rights but you who needs to stop whining that people aren't nice enough about your open bigotry. Experts agree its a genocide, you're pro genocide.

In my book I argue that IP fandoms are a crucial part of the economic model of the current media monopoly landscape, as fan campaigns drive down the value of creative labor via harassment and disposability, scare artists from taking risks with IP, and give execs a direct fan base all their own
I think a lot could be said about how fandoms are very much structured to be consumerist without any critical analysis of capitalist production, and how this is the logical end result of that.

The Big O took the framing of mecha and told a dark mysterious drama that stoked the imagination of fans. The adventures of Roger, Dorothy, & the Big O are as good as ever & it's time to rediscover the mystery of Paradigm, the city of amnesia. mediaocd.com/product/big-...

This is why I hate the “it has to be subtle!!!” Critique of queer media. The fact that we can’t just say what we are or what the character is is so reductive and constraining to so many queer writers. Don’t let cis people dictate how you show you identity. They don’t know what they’re saying.
When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.
