Of the Air (cele/celes)

pronouns: cele/celes

Plural. This is why we use we. Trans{gender and species}.

We aren’t human, thank you!

We are also ace- and aro- spec, so don’t direct sexual or romantic things at us. Even if it’s meant as non-romantic or non-sexual just don’t say we are loved or you love us etc.

Don’t call yourself any familial (dad, mum etc) words at us, it is extremely traumatic for us.

  • In some ways yes, in some ways no.

    Those who allegedly concieved this body and the sibling one of us has have gotten worse the more we have grown.

    We have gone through much trauma, especially related to being neglected or abandoned and have had our desire and ability to do anything resembling a job become less and less over time due to this. We are still trying things to make money but it doesn’t look good and without certain types of support we would be having no money coming in.

    We struggle against the system as it continues to take any alleged rights we had and just wish to be with those who truly care about us and we truly care about too.

    We feel we missed out on a lot of the ‘positive’ experiences of childhood, both because we were trans and because of all the abuse we experienced. It was a very confusing time.

    Now we slowly and carefully gain back our childhood by being who we want, acting ‘childish’ with those we care about and protect the right of children who are actually small and young to have that right without ‘adults’ being terrible to them.

    Basically no, but it comes down to the systems and societies we find ourselves in. The only thing we can honestly say has gotten better is we understand ourselves better and have found people who actually know how to love and are treating ourselves with consent. The rest though, no, and we wish every day for all these traumatising, unhelpful and ridiculous systems and people to collapse or go away and be replaced with something better.











  • Okay, well. We tend not to follow anybody, specifically because that still creates a hierarchy and again we don’t like those, not even in our relationships.

    If we did though, it probably would not be for very long as we tend to pretty much to go our own way, even in a crowd or organisation etc. We may agree with a position but that doesn’t mean we are following a person or people etc.

    We’re not sure why you’re so dedicated to saying everyone does or must follow somebody (even of their own free will), but we don’t see how that is a particularly anarchist position to do so. As to us at least, we eschew hierarchy and that is due to anarchism.

    Thanks for explaining though, we appreciate that.








  • Some of these we have seen, some of them we want to but the vast majority we don’t want to and thus think popularity of something is not a good metric of whether people should watch something.

    We have watched tons of shows and movies, played lots of games etc, read lots of books and listened to lots of podcasts which were either universally slammed or complained a lot about by many people and we thoroughly enjoyed them.

    Edit: Conversely we have seen/played/read/listened to some that were popular that we hated, even some on this list.
