I've been a vegetarian for a good solid while and still find it *hilarious* whenever people are like FAKE MEAT IS THE WOKE, YOU CAN'T FORCE ME!!!!!!!
my sibling in Christ I simply want a little snack. a tiny treat in the form of fake meat.
Cis casting directors:
If someone is "male identifying", they are male.
If someone is "female identifying", they are female.
If your casting call asks for "men or male identifying actors" I am already receiving 55 different red flags from you.
Sir Andrew Llyod Webber wrote an 8-minute song about how the Phantom and Christine pounded one out a decade ago, I can do whatever the fuck I want with my art
"Maybe they're talking about non-binary folks who lean toward one gender"
Search your heart and soul. Do you *really* believe that's what's happening here? Or did cis people hear the word "identifying" and decide throwing it in their casting calls makes them inclusive?
WIFE: How was the show, sweetie?
GUY WHO WENT TO "SPECTACULAR SPECTACULAR" IN MOULIN ROUGE (2001): Pretty good, I mean I kind of lost the plot, some guy was a sitar??
WIFE: Oh?
GUY: Yeah also I think the lead actress died right after the show

Just saw someone post about watching West Side Story and someone else commented "that's basically Romeo and Juliet". Maybe art wasn't meant to be watched or perceived???
“Ursula should be played by a drag queen!”
1. Melissa McCarthy has drag experience
2. Yeah great idea everyone, now in this current climate let’s have an antagonist who lures in and tricks a 16-year-old girl played by a cis man dressed as a woman, I’m sure that’ll help

Yes and I could frankly do with folks from all over using it to mean “upset” or “angry”. Being triggered is a very specific experience that isn’t just being pissed off.
The world at large has covered Phantom of the Opera in a thick coat of irony, which is earned, but I will spend my life spreading the gospel that the chandelier crash is Really Cool Actually
Siding with the bigots because your last movie with one in charge flopped miserably but you’re under contract to make another one, not a cute look 😘 that bigot money won’t taste any sweeter
Whoever needs to hear this: however your gender manifests, it is not hurting me and I have a really hard time imagining a scenario where it would hurt someone else. Use those pronouns if they fit. Wear those clothes if you love them. You are not to blame for bigotry.
Congrats to the most recent Lindsay Ellis video for escalating my hatred of JKR from “I hate her” to “we’d all be better in a world where she was not”. It’s been ten minutes so far.
Oh my gosh thank you for letting me know :/ I only followed him because we had mutual friends but I’ll block him now, I didn’t know that Peter denied Christ three times

WIFE: Was the music good?
GUY: Yes?? The lead's first song was a few words from "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend".
WIFE: I love that song!
GUY: Do you like every 4th word of it? Then good news, I have tickets to tomo- actually I think it might be cancelled because she died
A cabaret that's all just the sexually-charged musical theatre duets that theatre kids sang in high school to make up for the fact that we weren't fucking
WIFE: What makes you think the guy was a sitar?
GUY: Honestly, based on costume alone. He kept chanting "I only speak the truth", which was weird.
WIFE: Huh.
GUY: And I know we don't care about cultural appropriation yet but there were a lot of white people in that Indian show
@jacasiegel
Needing time and space apart from each other does not mean that living together was a mistake or that you don’t like each other anymore. To the contrary, having alone time when you need it is a very good idea for both of you!

@drmartens
If it's any incentive to them, I'm sure a lot of transgender women/people would get a kick out of these!
The pun was intended and purposeful.
The definition of being transgender is identifying with a different gender identity than the one you were assigned at birth. That’s it. Don’t need dysphoria, don’t need surgery, don’t need a name change, whatever it is, to be transgender.
I always think I can’t love Jeffrey Marsh more, and I’m always wrong. They handle bullshit with more decorum and grace than this interviewer could fathom.
Please, I will give cis people money, actual dollar bills, to stop defining bi/pan sexuality by whether or not you’re attracted to transgender people, I’m fucking begging you, here’s a dollar bill, does that help
@whyangelinawhy
Ew this has the same energy as cis/het people who keep using the word "twink" to describe every single gay man. We all know you wanna use the word f*ggot and found another word as a place-filler, you're not subtle.
@travismcelroy
1. I'm a non-binary theatre artist who just had a bunch of shows cancelled, as well as a museum box office staffer whose museum closed.
2. I'm also a producer/co-host of a queer interview podcast called My Gay Agenda!

I don't wanna hear anything else, the REAL struggle of polyamory is trying to find an outfit for your partners' wedding that lets everyone know that they both also have a really hot boyfriend
Oh good, now instead of having to choose between "male" or "female" I can choose between "witch" and "wizard", a thing that wasn't even a gender binary until Terfs Magee got her hands on it
NEWS: Hogwarts Legacy will have trans-inclusive character creation, with body, voice, and gender ("witch/wizard") all separated, sources say. This news follows JK Rowling's transphobic comments and the recent discovery that a producer supports Gamergate

It's by no stretch a Hill I Will Die On but:
The joke of "It's Gonna Be May" is that Timberlake's pronunciation of "me" sounds like "May". You can't just make a May song meme out of every single lyric that has the word "me" in it regardless of the singer's pronunciation.
If someone's criticism of your gender and its expression is "cis people will take us less seriously", then that's not your fault. It's cisgender people's fault for not seeing you, and it's that person's fault for trying to make you feel like you've done something wrong.
For Christmas Eve, I will reveal that my next tattoo will be this part in Muppets Christmas Carol where Rizzo smooches Gonzo’s beak. I think this plan encapsulates a lot about me as a person and requires no further explanation.

This is literally the funniest thing I've ever read
"Now if I wasn't an amazing person I would say that this wouldn't exist without me, but I am an amazing person so I'll simply say that but more vaguely."
A man at this Target just told his toddler child, who was hugging a mannequin, “We don’t hug the boys! You can hug the girls”.
About a mannequin. ABOUT A MANNEQUIN.
Are straight people okay?? My field research says no.
Not to be dramatic but the internet has poisoned people into believing that the best way to interact with others is to scramble for the higher ground, even if that means desperately shoving dirt together to create a hill upon which to die.
Hey y’all, I’m currently crying in my car because my gyno office somehow got my deadname in their records and it led to a lot of deadnaming/misgendering during an exam that’s already really tough for me.
Kind words would be very much appreciated.
This might be a hot take but phrases like “you have to be patient with me about your pronouns” very much feel like a threat when your employer says it to you, and I’ve been told that in COUNTLESS rehearsal rooms.

Hi this isn’t a prank or a joke, just wanted to share that today is officially four months since I drastically reduced my drinking, can I get a hell yeah
Three years ago, my first year out during Christmas, my family gave me the obligatory flower tie and button-down. I put them on with my binder in preparation for family celebrations, and looking in the mirror, I saw myself for the first time ❤️
#TransJoy
Woah oh my god your production of Cabaret has the Emcee puts his hands somewhere near a dancer’s crotch???? So fucking intense dude I love larger theatre companies always breaking the boundaries
Considering kids don't typically get out of school until about 2pm anyway, this effectively means on weekdays high schoolers cannot be in stores without an adult at any time of day.
We are making the world uninhabitable then wondering why they don't gO oUtSidE mOrE
Every transmasc in musical theatre is like “I wanna play Seymour in Little Shop, let me play Seymour, Seymour is a dream role”
IF I AM NOT CAST AS THAT FUCKING DENTIST I WILL THROW A TABLE
Anyway, transgender people face violence and oppression daily, especially Black transgender people. Any time is a good time to donate to collectives like
@4THEGWORLS
or
@TheOkraProject
.
Many musical theatre folks have decided that a good performance is found exclusively in perfect (by their standards) vocal technique. Which speaks for how much they’re depending on their own vocal talent to cover for their poor acting skills.
Gender conscious casting is important, and it’s important to consider the optics of who we’re casting as the villain who steals a child away from her parent and changes her body
Hi if you think “pansexual” is ~the label~ that includes trans people then you’re openly admitting that you don’t see trans women as women and trans men as men. The label “bisexual” is not excluding trans people, you are.
So I did a silly goofy play-pretend as Hades for a photoshoot today and??? Holy smokes. Photo by

“Wait, two of your partners are getting married?? How does that *feel*?”
Well besides people imagining a scenario where I’m suffering under the burden of jealous possession over either of them? I’m in a wedding party where I’m kissing the bride AND groom, and that’s HILARIOUS.
Just called a CVS and the person answered "hi and welcome to CVS, we don't have COVID tests in stock, how can I help you?".
Honestly?? Admirable efficiency, 17/10
As a transmasc person (make whatever assumptions you want about the relevance to the conversation), what if we had conversations about the harm of body-shaming outside of critiquing a 19-year-old girl for how she handles being publicly harassed by a human trafficker
The part of Lil Nas X’s SNL performance where one of the dancers licks his neck did more for queer rights in three seconds than weeks of “kink at pride” discourse
If this helps clarify my gender: I am not a man, I am not a boy, but I am a guy, specifically Just Some Guy. I am often a dude and maybe a bro.
Hope that settles that.
So yeah it’s already been said countless times, but if you still support Harry Potter or J.K. R*wling you are supporting an active, purposeful transphobe who is doing real harm.
