yeah basically. like, if you want trans people in things it starts with trans people behind things.
the reduction of 'representation' entirely to the stated identities of onscreen characters misses the entire point!

here's my scorching hot take: I want less trans characters in mainstream fiction and more trans *creators* working in mainstream fiction

ultimately the way this world treats trans women as utterly disposable even despite so often sounding the alarm early for abuse done, and people not listening or mocking it, is why my politics are so concerned with their wellbeing and political subjectivity

For anyone who thinks that is a lot of money consider that their last round of funding was for 13B, and that normally big copyright infringement costs like 150k per, not the 3k per they are gonna pay. A fine is a price. For 1/10th of their funding they will keep and use this data. Fuckers.

With emphasis, there is no difference in the conservative mind between porn and "icky porn". Queer existence itself is porn to them. Band together and say no to censorship, wholesale. You will not get a pass for being one of the "good" queers. IN THE CONSERVATIVE MIND, THERE IS NO SUCH THING.

Just learned this today: I was also hit with the Patreon banhammer. One of my audios was taken down. It's completely consensual, even has aftercare elements in-universe, although there are references to "Mommy," "little girl," and "baby girl" in teasing / non-ageplay manners

Limitation of who can make or sell art is fascist.
This isn't about morality, which has nothing to do with artistic production or consumption.
This is about the dominant cultural group pushing puritanical values on everyone else.
This is about controlling speech, thought, and expression.
