i need people to understand just how good birds of prey is
Harley Quinn confirms she voted for Bernie, calls cops pigs the entire film, extolls the virtues of her bodega guy, hands women hair ties mid-fight. This movie is impeccable. At one point there’s a musical number with Ewan McGregor. Rosie Perez wears a bulletproof corset that makes her titties look great while also not hiding her wrinkles. Cassandra Cain gets to act and dress like a kid. Black Canary sings and wears the most gay ass pantsuit my tiny bi heart couldn’t handle it. It’s got just feral women of all ages beating the shit out of people. TWO of the main characters are confirmed queer on screen. Literally iconic cinema
From left to right: Petra Solano (Jane the Virgin, 5x01), Rosa Diaz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, 5x10), Michael Guerin (Roswell: New Mexico, 1x11), Grace Choi (Black Lightning, 1x04), Maya (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, 1x14), Anna Taggaro (One Tree Hill, 2x15), Thirteen (House M.D., 6x17), Darryl Whitefeather (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, 1x14), Miles Hollingsworth (Degrassi: Next Class, 4x03), Callie Torres (grey’s anatomy, 11x05)
There are many resources online about the dangers of binding for FTM guys, but far fewer that address the dangers of tucking.
This film, based on the youth of trans dancer Nora Monsecour and made in collaboration with her, features a young trans girl character tucking with tape in order to pass as a young woman. It is good to see that a film is drawing attention to MTF struggles, and the daily practice of flattening your groin, which can sometimes be very painful.
As an alternative to tape or bandages, I would recommend LeoLines underwear, available through Etsy. There are many reviews by trans women who recommend LeoLines panties and padded bras, and the underwear is so cleverly designed that many women report not even needing to tuck beneath the panties. (Also, as the designer of these products is a trans woman, all the marketing is aimed at trans women, and not crossdressers.)

Please do not flag this post. It is an educational post, intended for transgender girls who may watch this film and be encouraged to tuck unsafely. It is not explicit.
From the perspective of a trans woman whose closet friend is a trans man, I found this post to be extremely valuable information to have.
Very glad you found this post helpful, friend! I’m a transgender man myself, and I have noticed that many online resources are directed at FTM guys like me, whereas information about tucking for trans women is pretty rare to see shared on trans blogs. I can’t speak from experience, but I do want to put in the effort to support my trans sisters :)
Superman’s sheer anger over Billy Batson’s situation is a sight to behold. Batman and Robin get away with it because he knows it’s the world’s best internship and that Bruce is willing to put out all the stops to protect him. But Billy? He doesn’t have anyone looking out for him. And that pisses off Superman more than anything.
Seriously, Clark’s face here
He is ready to kick the ass of whoever put this boy in this situation SO HARD
Next page he really lets the Wizard Shazam have it.
Shit, son. I might have to buy this book for those last two panels alone.
When Superman is written well he is an amazing goddamned character.
these few pages are some of my favourite in comic book history. So good. For anyone wondering what the next few pages look like, here you go:
This is a bigger deal than some of you might think, because Superman is one of the heroes in the DC Universe who keeps his secret identity pretty damn secret, because as probably the most powerful and influential person on earth, a lot of people do not wish him well - and would jump at the chance to hold people dear to him as leverage.
Yet, he trusts this poor, scared little kid. To comfort him, and entrust him with his biggest secret - just as Billy did for him.
