Quasi-mythical pointy-headed being who makes comics, most notably “Phoebe and Her Unicorn" and "Ozy and Millie." Bestselling, award-winning, all that. PNW. She/her. Generally trying to be positive. Account just for book/art stuff: @danasimpson.com
I met my spouse on one.
I would never tell anyone how to gender.
(Though having said that, I guess I have to acknowledge how often I say, or at least think, “could you not do THAT so publicly, you’re validating TERFs’ worst ideas about what we’re like”)
And people ask why I don’t hang out much
I’m confused. Is this some kind of war between…I’m hesitant to even guess which two factions.
Or don’t. I guess I’m fine with moving on.
Well, less “fine” and more “willing to accept.”
Okay, then help me out here.
I'll never forget that teenie Gen Alpha on some reel or short saying "okay, like why are you Gen Xers wearing Nirvana shirts, cause, that's like, our clothing brand, stop appropriating it."
The comments informing her it was a band from the early 1990s was legit news to her 😂
I think I understand you fine. You’re arguing that it’s fine if the trans community is full of people who keep telling the outside world that a book about how we’re all mad science rapists is an accurate description of us, because viva la difference I guess, and I’m reacting with utter horror.
No?
Oh, I know you wouldn’t.
I suppose I just bristle at the idea that such people might look at me and say “see, she’s doing it right.” *shudder*
I don’t speak Latin and I’m not googling it.
“Evangelical” is an interesting word to use, and I’m curious what you mean by it in this context, especially after you sanitized nonconsent and body horror via neutral language earlier
Much more fun subject! Hello to your house!
If someone sees themselves in that story, wherever it leads them is not the place I am. I believe I am on a fundamental level not doing the same thing as them.
Which, you know. That’s not my business. Until they start saying those stories DEFINE BEING TRANS.
Then I might have something to say.
No. They’re wrong and you’re wrong.
My audience is mostly children. A LOT of them were born after Phoebe started, now, and an even higher percentage were born after Ozy and Millie ended (17 years ago).
There’s a pretty big difference between wishing a genie would grant you a wish you could use to switch your gender, and fantasizing about experiencing it as fetishy nonconsensual Frankensteinian body horror.
Think about what you just said for about 30 seconds and then get back to me.
“Why are you still here?”
Why would my age having increased mean I would stop being on the internet?
My original furrymuck account, which still exists, turned 30 a few months ago.
I mean, again, hi, passing trans woman who hasn’t been misgendered in about a decade:
Fuck the “community.” Do your own thing.
How on earth is it that?
That seems too horrible to be true.
“You’re old, why haven’t you stopped being a person yet?”
Hello, I’m a passing, post-op trans woman, please don’t fucking drag me into that particular sewer
I’ve avoided learning very much about that series, because I’m afraid if I do I’m going to start hating other trans women.
Aw, thank you very much!
