Schizoid people can be harder to get to know but they’re very cool people

I’m using the meaning in psychodynamic theory which basically means a personality structured around withdrawal and introversion, often with lower expressiveness of their emotions

Learning about how important shame is as a core feature of developmental trauma has been kind of a big deal

Oh fuck it's gone viral, quick everyone go and buy my book. It's a folklore-inspired dark fantasy whose protagonist is a trans dragon

The cover of the book Chained Flame by Saffron Drake, featuring a painting-style image of an enormous dragon facing off against a human warrior. The dragon's expression is one of intense regret.

Right I mean essentially the answer doesn't really matter because the question is missing the point

May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄 (Mostly Updates ) @goddessblade.bsky.social · 10h

This doesn't matter only for how we categorize individuals, but for how we understand sexual and gender dynamics altogether. The male role is to sexually consume and the female role is to be sexually consumed. Everything else springs from that.

May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄 (Mostly Updates ) @goddessblade.bsky.social · 10h

Regardless of the answer, a question like "are straight trans women queer?" only has meaning in a context in which we erase that the paradigm of homosexuality and heterosexuality come out of the effort to distinguish cis men from those trans women to start with

This is one of many reasons I don't seat my queer politics primarily on the construct of "same-sex," but rather on gender relations, gender variance, feminization, and sexual exploitation

May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄 (Mostly Updates ) @goddessblade.bsky.social · 10h

"Homosexual" for men means a potential for sexual feminization, which can still be mediated through masculinity and sexual dominance. For women it means a refusal to fulfill the feminized sexual role. Homosexuality and homophobia come down to feminization and misogyny

May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄 (Mostly Updates ) @goddessblade.bsky.social · 10h

The thing is that the criticism here DOES apply to the modern "homosexual/heterosexual" split model of sexual identity, which is a lot less central and powerful than the older, deeper feminized/masculinized split of sexual identity—and the latter still reigns supreme even in Western sexual economy

Saffron @dragonsaffron.bsky.social · 11h

This is a strange, unique, non-Western way of seeing gender that is totally different from anything else.

If there's any question about that dominance through sexuality, then dominance through violence—including both rape and murder—is available to the man to "solidify" his manhood. This is what trans women who seek male partners still deal with throughout our lives today
