Reading wiki entries for historical trans men…

Dr. James Barry, Albert Cashier, Charley Parkhurst, Billy Tipton, and Dr. Alan Hart could have each written “I am a man and want to be recognized across history as such” and transphobes would still be like… “wow what misunderstood butch heroes… lesbian icons!!!!”

angelescoffee

interesting how they… didn’t all write that. across history women have disguised themselves as men in order to escape misogyny cus u couldn’t get anywhere much in life (much less become successful doctors) as women. and anyways, of course a woman constrained by sexism would prefer to be given the privileges of a man. i can’t confirm these women were lesbians, but you cannot confirm they were transmen either. 

nitrosplicer

Interesting how… I didn’t argue that women haven’t disguised themselves throughout history. I mentioned specific instances of historical trans men for whom there is evidence to conclude they identified as men and not women. I said nothing against lesbians in my post either, only about transphobes.

Anyways: 

Dr. James Barry had a close relationship with Lord Charles Somerset and was subsequently accused of buggery, which led to a court trial and investigation as homosexuality was illegal. He could have revealed that he was female at any time during the trial to escape condemnation, but he did not. Upon his death, Barry left strict instructions that his body was not to be undressed and he was to be buried in his bedsheets. 

Albert Cashier could not read or write, but lived as a man for 53 years, even after fighting in the uniform of a Union soldier, he maintained his male dress and presentation until he slipped and fell, breaking his hip. 

The indomitable stagecoach driver Charlie Parkhurst lived as a man from the time he was 12, and after retiring, maintained his identity as a man until his death.

Also it’s interesting that you said that I could not undeniably prove any of these men were trans: Alan L Hart was undeniably trans, as he sought out medical transition and pyschotherapy for his gender dysphoria, referred to himself as “one of the fellows,” legally changed his name, lived as a man from a young age, and continued to do so until his death, so yeah, you really can’t say “oh he’s a lesbian,” can you?

while billy tipton might’ve initially identified as a lesbian, he later transitioned to presenting male full-time. he told his future female partners that he was a man and that his body was the result of a serious car accident. he went on to adopt children, and was known as a “good father”. at the age of 74, he refused to be seen by a doctor when he contracted emphysema, which caused his death. neither his later female partners or his children or friends seemed to know he was trans until he was forcefully outed at death

i’d also like to add

little ax broadnax, a gospel singer who performed in multiple quartets over the years with his older brother. while still living with his family, he was recorded in the US census as male. he was outed publicly as a trans man at death in 1992, having presented as male for over 60 years

#when albert cashier had dementia and was in an institution he used to take clothespins and try to make his skirts into pants #regardless of the trouble it caused his caretakers #being a man was so integral to him that even when his memory was shot he clung to his identity with both hands and refused to let it go #our history isn’t big but it’s vital and it’s present and it’s not going anywhere

Lmao ya’ll really thought things would go well at Tanacon? This is Tana were talking about. She’s super unorganized and sucks at planning. I don’t wanna hear “It’s Tana’s first con give her a break!” bc that shit is inexcusable. 

When running a con, you have to plan for the worst and obviously Tana didn’t have a plan. People have been waiting in line for 4 HOURS. Some content creators have no idea what’s going on or where they’re going. Panels are overlapping. There’s tons of other shit that’s gone wrong. 

So many mistakes have been made.

Guys, Youtube beat Tumblr at something… Worst con!

I just found out today that some youtube personality, Tana Mongeau, decided that she didn’t like how Vidcon was treating her so she was going to throw her own convention… On the same day with about a month to prepare.

It’s only been 1 day and it’s been, predictably, a dumpster fire.

Yes, predictably. I don’t know anything about this personality. Never heard of her, so I have no opinion regarding her abilities. I do, however, know an itty bit about conventions and running events. Even the most capable event planners would find it nearly impossible to throw a decent event together with only a month to plan. Even while I was still in high school, I knew conventions were hard work because I had buddies who organized conventions.

The “main issue” is that 5,000 tickets were sold and an extra “unexpected” 15,000 people showed up.

I wonder why, when she says stuff like this:

image

Girl. The full stupidity of this tweet is insane.

What’s also insane is the 5,000 tickets. It was at a Marriott and the highest capacity I’ve seen is about 3,000 people. Predictably, there are huge lines and, from the looks of things, people had to wait many hours outside in the sun and, once people started getting in, they mostly had to stand in a hallway.

If you’re interested in seeing how much more of a dumpster fire this is turning out to be, check out this Twitter thread. Yes, it gets worse. So much worse and it was only day one. It was so bad that day one actually got cancelled! (Also, some sexual predators in the guest list?)

Some of this personality’s fans are claiming it wasn’t her fault, all these extra people showed up, and they’d like to see you do better.

One, yes, this is primarily her fault this is a disaster.

Two, she invited all those extra people to roll through. The venue was already booked past capacity anyway with just 5,000. Also, I actually doubt those numbers, looking at the pictures.

Three, I’m not an idiot that would try to arrange a convention with 5000 people attending with only a month to plan just to try and compete with a convention I didn’t like! If I did plan a convention, I would give it at least a year, find people with experience in successful conventions, actually put effort into planning, and maybe not start off my first convention with FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE!

I can applaud people trying big and new things. However, this wasted the time and money of a lot of people and it could have been avoided if she put more effort in learning how to run a competent convention. There’s also the health risks of these people having to wait hours and hours outside under the California summer sun.

So, here it is, Tanacon is worse than Dashcon.

I wanted to talk about Tanacon for a moment, specifically the ticketing issue because wow.

So there are people claiming that the space had enough room for 2,000 people, but 5,000 people bought passes and another 20,000 or so people just showed up. Some were claiming that people were showing pictures of their friends’s tickets show they could get in. Others claimed that people were stealing passes. Regardless of the numbers, it was clearly a huge fucking mess.

Now, I worked registration for three years at a convention. I know the kind of work that goes into ticket selling for these events. And listening to the stories that people are sharing about who got in and how they got in is horrifying to me. Not only is it an overbooking issue, it’s also a security issue for both the attendees and the guests that were booked.

Let me explain.

Jake Ryan Evans

- On October 23rd 2012, Jacob “Jake” Ryan Evans (17 at the time/ now 22) fatally shot his mother and sister while his father and two other sisters were out of town, then called the police and confessed to the crime, you can listen to it here.


Jake shot his sister when she was living her room, thinking he was joking the girl told Evans to stop and then got shot causing her to role down stairs, then he shot her again - ‘I told my sister that my mom needed her. She was in her room, and she came out of her room, and I shot her. And she rolled down the stairs and I shot her again’. After that he went down those same stairs and shot his mother 3 to 4 times. After realizing his sister was still alive, the boy reloaded the gun and shot the two again to make sure they were dead - ‘As I emptied the shells on my bed, I heard noises and realized that Mallory was still alive. While I loaded the gun back up, I was shouting that I was sorry and then ran as fast as I could to kill her. I made sure my mom was dead and shot her again in the head.’


Though Evans is not known to have been suffering from any mental illness at the time, he writes that after the shooting, ‘in shock I ran into my room and screamed at the top of my lungs that I am really messed up and that I killed my mom and sister’.


Why?

Evans, who was home schooled, said he argued with his 15-year-old sister, Mallory, that day after she made a racist comment, and he felt his family were becoming people he hated - ‘The people who are racists, bullies, and who are full of themselves are the really evil ones. And it amazes me because those three qualities are extremely common today. I was very sad because I felt like my own family were becoming the people I hate’, he wrote.

After hitting golf balls, running errands with his grandmother and watching television at home, Evans put a knife in his pocket and thought about killing Mallory, according to the statement.

But he decided to kill his mother and younger sister with a gun stolen from his grandfather so they wouldn’t feel pain, he wrote. - ’I then spent probably over an hour walking nervously around the house thinking how life will never be the same and how I would never see them again. Thoughts of causing her pain kept entering my mind and were really bothering me, But then I’d think about the times she hurt my feelings or really pissed me off.’

Evans then reveals he went to his sister’s bedroom door and asked her to watch The Waterboy with him. But he later excused himself and went into the art room. There, he imagined killing Mallory again, he told investigators.

After about 30 minutes he came back with the knife in his pocket and thought about killing her - ‘I sat for about 5 minutes and then playfully threw a pillow at Mallory, We started having a pillow fight in the room. After a while I thought to myself that if I were going to kill my mom and Mallory, I wouldn’t want them to feel anything. So I decided to kill them both with the .22 revolver I stole from my Grandpa.’


Jake said he watched Halloween movie three times that week, which inspired him to commit the crime; He also was planning the murder of his grandparents.


Sentence:

Jacob Ryan “Jake” Evans, who was 17 at the time of the 2012 slayings, pleaded guilty to two counts of murder. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Rant: 13 Reasons Why

columbine--imagines

 Disclaimer: Don’t get butthurt over my opinions. I just happen to have an unpopular opinion. I’m not trying to be rude, I’m just saying my opinion, which I’m allowed to have. 

 First off, I find the concept of the show offensive and overall sickening. As someone who has dealt/is dealing with depression and similar conditions, I believe that this show could have been executed in a more serious manner. The show glorifies, glamorizes, and romanticizes suicide, depression, and mental illness. 

  I have never seen the show, nor do I want to. I don’t want to put myself at risk for becoming a danger to myself. In 2016, my therapist told me not to watch it, and was very strong in her opinion on why not. She is a mental health professional telling me NOT to watch a show that is “supposed” to raise awareness for mental health treatment, which says a lot.

 The show could have been executed in a far better manner. For example, the show’s protagonist, Hannah Baker commits suicide on camera in the first season. The scene shows the method in which the character offs herself. Since the airing of the show, there have been copycat suicides. According to ABC News in 2017, “Bella Herndon was a 15-year-old who loved to read and write and was earning straight As as a sophomore in high school. Priscilla Chiu was also a high school sophomore described as “precocious” and “determined. Both teenagers died by suicide in April. Their families say Bella and Priscilla both watched “13 Reasons Why,” the controversial Netflix show about suicide, just days before taking their own lives.”  Their parents also stated in the same article, “‘I didn’t find out until the funeral,’ John Herndon, of Livermore, California, told ABC News. ‘Bella’s friends told me that three days before she hung herself she had finished watching this Netflix show ‘13 Reasons Why.’” If this doesn’t prove that the show has given young people ideas to end their lives, I don’t know what else will. 

 13 Reasons Why’s first season follows Clay Jensen trying to figure out why the show’s central character, Hannah killed herself using the 13 tapes she left behind. Let’s face it; in reality, a cute boy isn’t going to try to figure out why you killed yourself, nor will he devote weeks doing so. The only thing that will happen is heartbreak and utter sadness. Suicide is never the answer.  There’s nothing romantic or beautiful about that. Not a thing. 

 I once found a study online, which I am currently unable to find the source of said something along the lines of “Once someone commits suicide, at least 3 people will do the same or will have suicidal ideation and attempts.” Suicide doesn’t make things better, it only makes things far worse. Think of the friends you have, the people you love, the people you’ve laughed with. Imagine how they would feel. You will only be passing on your pain onto somebody else. Although, when a person is suicidal it is hard to think of others, it is still very important.

the human body is so fake like i’ll be reading the news and it’s like “25 year old woman free falls 1,500 feet into 25 feet of snow, found alive and uninjured” and while I’m absolutely reeling over that I don’t even have time to process it fully before I look at the next article “25 year old man falls into shallow end of pool, dies instantly.”

like our bodies literally have the durability predictability of an iphone

one time I misjudged how steep a “hill” was and proceeded to slide down the slope of a cliff for a full half minute and hit the bottom unscathed.

then I tripped on the stairs on my way to see Neon Genesis Evangelion and shattered my entire kneecap.
