They won’t start making gay/lesbian couples because children won’t understand them.

Your favourite ship won’t get together.

They’re just animations, people, they’re not real. :/ I love the show as much as the next person, but, honestly, for a fandom about a childrens show - it’s going too far.

SPOILER ALERT: 10% of the population of 6 year olds… Is LGBT+.
Introducing LGBT+ role models to kids is one very effective way of cutting out the self loathing and confusion that so many of these kids go through at some stage in their lives.
No, it probably won’t happen, but that’s because of institutionalised homophobia and attitudes like YOURS- that kids knowing that gay people exist will ~damage and confuse~ them.
And I don’t even have any MLP ships.

Somebody has actually said that to me before.
I think that they were a friend of a good friend, which is why I didn’t drive their face into the nearest wall.

FACT: Two girls kissing is not an open invitation to invade their personal space or ask asinine questions about their sex life

WARNING FOR YE OLDE TRANS DYSPHORIA AND DEPRESSING STUFF

Anonymous requested:

””“I want a picture of any of the team, trying sincerely to dress as a woman. Makeup, heels, wig, the works. Except that they are still recognisable and the dressup is unsuccessful in a jarring way. And they know it, and they’re trying not to cry.

I want it to be heartbreaking. I want it to be as realistic as possible and to inspire the viewer to want to comfort.”“”

I went with Medic because he’s often crossdressed in the fandom - usually in a way meant to be either attractive or flat out ridiculous. So it’s even more jarring when he’s a) being sincere, b) not particularly attractive doing it.

The first image Anonymous described wasn’t depressing enough so I added a bit more. Yay for angst?

Oh god, that is so sad. D:

Submission from transgenderexpress:

Every so often, I like to look through my old Facebook photos to remind myself of how much progress I’ve made. I’ve been on hormones for 7½ months, and the day-to-day changes are so gradual that it often seems like nothing is happening. And then I see a picture of me from 3 years ago! :D

She is SO cute! I love her makeup too <3

I’m gonna go on a small rant here.

So being gay is something to be proud of then? I think it’s funny that most gays are all about equal rights but they want us to treat them differently because they’re gay. They don’t want special treatment but they should have pride in their sexuality. So does that mean we can start having straight pride parades? Or would that be “offensive”? If being gay is natural, why are we drawing so much attention to it? If you’re born gay, why should we have to applaud you as if you made a huge life-altering decision?

I mean, I don’t care if you’re gay, but come on. You can’t have your cake and eat it, too.

omg brink i totally agree -thats why i see red with fury with every gay pride parade and over-the-top rights activists.  While you’re up there dancing around in your glitter fairy dress, society is pointing and laughing.  :|  and yeah, a lot of gay guys, when in straight company, try to act like they’re special because they’re gay.  

A few things:

1. I am special. It’s not because I’m gay, it’s because I’m me.
2. I am proud. I’m proud of EVERY bit of me, which includes my homosexuality.
3. I do want you to treat me differently. But this is where you’re confused. I want to be treated differently than I’m treated now, which is the same as you’re treated every day - with equal rights and laws protecting me.
4. You can have a straight pride parade. And as long as the basis is equal rights and celebration of individuality without hate toward another group, I support it - because that’s what our gay pride parades are based on.
5. Being gay is natural, but many people don’t think so. That’s why, for the time being, we HAVE to draw so much attention to it - because still in America, half of the US thinks being gay is a choice.
6. I’m not asking for your applause. I’m asking for equal recognition.
7. Parades are important as a way for minorities to rally for rights. Not only does this show majorities that we’re here and we mean business, but it’s also important for small-town members of the minorities to see that they’re not alone. Look at the women’s rights movement and the black rights movement. I guess you’re either supportive of equal rights or you’re not - which side of history do you want to be on?
8. Instead of ranting about someone being proud of who they are, why not contribute something positive to the world? I mean, really, what’s with the negativity? When I see people like this talk shit about pride parades, to me, it’s because whether they know it or not, they’re in some way self-loathing and don’t see themselves worthy of self-praise or self-celebration. When you realize that we’re ALL special, and ALL worthy of celebration, then you’ll understand what a gay pride parade is about. It’s not building gays up as better than any other group. It’s about showing you that we’re not ashamed as society thinks we should be.

this is an awesome rebuke to that common mentality. <3
