let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out

if you can’t reblog this unfollow me right now

Always reblog

who the fuck…doesn’t reblog this?

honestly, if that’s you, it’s probably a good idea to unfollow me.

I have a trans friend and he and his wife are some of my closest friends. I have friends of all orientations, genders, and relationship types. Seriously, people. It’s not that hard to accept people for who they are.

Hey I have a question, I am naturally sarcastic and bratty, I love that shit. I am also submissive. In a piece you wrote of what Doms want their subs to know or something along the lines you say to avoid the afore mentioned. I seem to be in a bit of an impasse…

This actually gives me a chance to write a piece I’ve been meaning to get to for awhile, so thank you for the motivation.

To begin, it’s important to define our terms here. I’ll make the distinction between “sassy” and “bratty.” A rough, crude way of categorizing things at best, but we work with what we have. To be clear: these categories are mine, and other Doms may have very different thoughts on the subject. I’m hoping so, and hoping they sound off via Reblog or Reply; this topic is one that really demands a lot of discussion.

Sassy. A girl who has a talent for snark and “a bit of a mouth on her,” a mouth that occasionally gets carried away with itself and gets her in trouble. But when their Dom says “Kneel,” they drop. I knew a lovely lady years ago who was uber-sassy. If my ardor flagged, she’d say things along the lines of “It’s ok, it’s not your fault you’re old as fuck.” Any time she walked past me as I was sitting, she’d lightly smack me on top of my bald head repeatedly (think of Benny Hill smacking the bald old man on his TV series atop his hairless gulliver). But, these bits of sassiness were grounded in a deep well of affection; she was fanatically devoted to me, and even after we parted we remained friends. I still get emails at Xmas and my birthday, or when her and her Dom/hub welcome the latest member of their vast brood.

Bratty. This is a girl who seems to have all the qualities of a “sassy sub,” but things go far beyond that, and they have very different wellsprings. She acts out. She is defiant (not “play” defiant, actually defiant). She uses drama to manipulate her Dom. She will sometimes be a flat-out bitch on wheels until she gets her way (topping much?). And all of this, at its base, is grounded in something very disturbing: when you peel everything back, the “bratty sub” does not respect her Dom. She knows he can be manipulated, she knows he’ll cave, and she works that with an often cold-blooded calculation so that she “wins.”

See the difference? Personally, I find a “sassy sub” amusing; some Doms want demure, Geisha-like subs, but I’m not one of them. I want a person. But a “bratty sub”? Yeah, no. Fuck that shit. I will shut that shit down with the swiftness.
