If you feel personally attacked and upset when I talk about the Supernatural fandom, then maybe you need to look closely at how intrinsically you’ve tied yourself to a television show. Because if you can’t separate your own personal actions from the pattern of abusive and misogynistic behavior I’m actually talking about when I talk about “the Supernatural fandom” as a community, and if you take my words as a personal attack on you, and if your kneejerk reaction is to get angry at me for generalizing a community you’ve CHOSEN to associate yourself with rather than recognize that my anger is not about you, then you’re the one with the problem.

I know—I know—that no one likes how I call out fandom behavior. Everyone wants to have a good time and enjoy fandom without feeling bad or guilty. I’m the same way.

But if you can’t recognize that it’s possible to enjoy fandom while also helping someone to not be abused and hurt by it, then how fucking great is your fandom anyway?

SPN fandom prides itself on being a family. What are you prepared to do to make sure everyone who wants to be in your family is safe and welcome? 

What kind of fan do you want to be?

I don’t think this is a universal experience but national coming out day has me down in the dumps. I came out as trans like a year and a half ago, started hormones a few months after but then stopped after several months. Testosterone was proving super difficult to get hold of, they didn’t have any in for 2 months at one point and having to try book more doctors appointments and check the pharmacy regularly was messing with my anxiety and I eventually gave up. The irregular hormones were messing with my body and moods as well and it ended up feeling like a losing battle. And to go privately to switch to shots is £300 to see the gp. Now I’m basically fully detransitioned simply due to my fear of transitioning and being trans. I’d give anything to be cis and comfortable as a woman but I’m dysphoric and suffering every day even if I feel safer appearing cis. I’m terrified to seek out hormones again and continue my transition because of transphobia. I feel really stuck and I have no one to relate to. Everyone else seems to go on these super positive and fast transitions and then there’s me… scared and nervous to even call myself trans. I just.. Maybe this will all seem silly in several years if I can finally fully transition and enjoy life as a guy. I wonder what future me could say to me right now that could help. I guess whoever that person is I hope he’s happier with himself in the future and is proud that I made it through these difficult times.

I don’t know if you identify as somewhere nonbinaryish or as totally male but i’m nonbinary and the hard enthusiam for strong and immediate transition is incredibly draining and discouraging. I have a really hard time with that and feeling like my identity isn’t valid enough cause I look like this kinda queer cis woman and it sucks and it’s hard to keep that security in yourself when it doesn’t match up with what the community pushes for. So I basically just wanted to say that you’re not alone and that I support you with your struggle and fear about these things

As someone who is managing to get the T and the shots for relatively cheap (thank you community hospital center) i wanted to see changes immediately. I’m lucky in the fact that I have the access I need but I’m at this point of I want all the changes now and its… its really upsetting!

I can relate to how you feel even if the circumstances aren’t the same.

I know who I am even if no one else does and I know, like you, that it would have been safer to continue to present and pretend as the changes happened but I didn’t >.<

One of my friends, also a transguy, told me the first year on T is always the hardest… and i think you’ll be able to get back on the T when you can.  And i think you should.  When you can get back on it don’t do like i did.  Don’t immediately jump the gun and change everything over immediately.  Be safe until you can be yourself.  That’s all any of us ever can do, right?

PLEASE REBLOG THIS WARNING

HEY GUYS

The new Venom movie has a scene with intense flashing lights (the lab entry scene) and I received no warnings and had to leave (just for that scene) as I am epileptic!!! PLEASE share this since I’ve seen NO warnings being shared and this is very important and can prevent people from having seizures etc during the film.

This is a decidedly unfriendly reminder that I don’t want you following me or liking/reblogging my posts if you are a Trump supporter, neo-Confederate, TERF, neo-Nazi, or a supporter of any other sort of white supremacist or fascist movement. Get the fuck out. I don’t want you here.

Yess! Already 25 people unfollowed me. Feels so good to take the garbage out.
