“I definitely knew, especially with Sansa’s storyline, I knew that there was going to be controversy, I didn’t expect as much controversy as there was. Because its ‘Game of Thrones’ I just figured [rape] happened a lot in the first season… you know. Anyway, it happened, and there was controversy […] Listen, I think, if you don’t want to watch the show don’t watch the show, You know what you’re getting into when you sign up for HBO. But those kind of things… we’re not a show that distracts from what really happened back in medieval times, and still continues today. I think, why was my scene getting so much press, when so much is happening in the real world, and there’s no press about it? I mean, come on, it’s a TV show, concentrate on something more important, here.” — Sophie Turner about her controversial rape scene and the media firestorm that followed (via sansajons)Has Sophie Turner actually read the books? We’re not annoyed by a rape scene - we’re annoyed because it ruins Sansa’s storyline.

Trigger warning: my personal opinions about gender, stuff that will likely offend folks, especially trans folks. Discussion of “real” women, etc. If you have strong opinions about gender I would appreciate hearing what you have to say about this, but not if it will upset you too much. This will probably give you a better mental model of me and why I say some of the things I say, if that is something you want. This isn’t written as well as I want it to be, but what ever is?
I am a male.
I wish I had been born female.
I am definitely not trans.
Another thought.
Yeah, there are definitely aspects of being a woman that I wish I could have, but I have no desire to transition and would miss things about being a man. I would actually love to be a shapeshifter or something. I just want the benefits of being a young, attractive woman surrounded by feminist allies and hot, adventurous lesbians without having to deal with any of the downsides. The idea of being an old woman, a conventionally unattractive woman, a woman without privelege, etc sounds really off-putting. I would probably hate a million other bits of day to day womanhood too. Like I’ve mentioned before, gender is only instrumental to me.
Also, I agree with all the comments on how cute you look in drag.
Being a shapeshifter would be ideal, yes. I definitely would prefer to be a woman my age and my level of attractiveness. Like I said in a previous comment, I would rather be my current self (hot, male) than an average woman (dumpy, female). As for age, I want to live forever, and I would definitely not want to suddenly be old, but if I were to grow into being Sean Connery or Mallory Archer, I wouldn’t mind either.
Thank you for the compliment re:drag. I should participate in more drag shows.
Oh and I agree the drag looks great :)

FWIW it’s not so bad being an average looking woman! I don’t think I’d choose to be a hot man instead or indeed to radically change my appearance .
[That said I did lose 16lbs recently in order to become more conventionally attractive (and I want to lose 7 more) and I do feel better for it! If I could choose I’d probably look like a hotter version of the 22 year old me - I’m 31 now].

Sometimes polyamory looks a hell of a lot like serial monogamy with no gaps.
(I have been dating a poly guy for years so am allowed to say this).

“I’m not being mean to you, I’m teaching you to grow in Christ.”
“I’m not being mean to you, I’m teaching you to eat healthy.”
“I’m not being mean to you, I’m teaching you to be more rational.”
“I’m not being mean to you, I’m teaching you to be less oppressive.”
“I’m not being mean to you, I’m teaching you to be more tough and self reliant.”
The thing is that these statements can all be true but they can also be justifications for being an asshole.
People tend not to say “I’m being mean to you because it’s fun.” Nobody admits it, including to themselves. -
It wasn’t just that I didn’t want this government. It’s that I didn’t expect it.
Really thought Labour/SNP coalition was most likely and Conservative/Lib Dem coalition second most likely.
I know :(
