i am a woman. i am a lesbian. i have a penis. i am dysphoric about my penis. even if i wasnt, i would be allowed to enjoy having sex with it! and my lesbian sexual partners would be allowed to enjoy it too.
being a lesbian is about loving women–even if those womens bodies have penises, or flat chests, or deep voices, or adams apples, or facial hair.
claiming that being a lesbian is about hating penises, or liking vaginas, or breasts, or anything other than loving women regardless of what their bodies are like, is disrespectful not just to trans lesbians everywhere, but to all lesbians whose bodies dont fit what society tells us women have to be, regardless of whats in their pants.
women are more than their vaginas. women are more than their bodies. women are a wonderful and diverse group of people with bodies that are as diverse as any other group. you cant ignore that, no matter what shitty ideas about womens bodies you subscribe to.

There was a Damian fan account on twitter that posted a graphic that had all the books the super sons appears in, including the issue of Bendis' Superman where he """"reunited"""" them. I tweeted that issue does count and they immediately blocked me. I still laugh about it
Haha, that's incredibly funny XD. I can definitely say for sure that the fact that they blocked you says more about them.
But in all seriousness, I and @wesavegotham were actually talking about this recently. And I actually discussed this @bardicious too awhile back. So I will summarize all our conclusions into this post.
The question that if you still consider the Super Sons, the same dynamic dual they were after Jon was aged up?
All of us had the same conclusion that the answer was obviously no.
Think about it, one factor why Tomasi’s Super Sons worked and was received so well was because Damian was older (obviously this isn’t the only reason). Damian being older not only benefited the development of Damian but also of Jon’s:
Damian has a darker past (raised by the league since birth), very intelligent for his age, and believe it or not, Damian is, for the most part, really wise. Jon, on the other hand, is more naive, he was new to being a superhero and didn’t yet know of how dark the world could be, and the person mentoring him...was Damian, the person you least expect to mentor anybody.
But Damian was perfect for the job, he also started his superhero career at 10. Although he is young, Damian is absolutely NOT naive. Damian has experienced the worse the world can throw at you. What better person to mentor you?
Damian learned a lot from mentoring and training Jon. Now Damian was not being mentored or watched over, he was mentoring and watching over Jon instead. Working with Jon helped Damian learn how to better work with someone who was difficult to handle as he is.
And it gave Damian the opportunity to be the older sibling for once for someone else that needed an older brother figure in their life like Dick is to him.
On the other hand, Jon being younger and naive isn’t a bad thing. Him being child-like helped Damian finally experience the childhood he was neglected. It helped Damian not take everything too seriously and enjoy life for once. Put a little bit of his trust into someone else besides Dick and gain a new friend who understood living under the burden of a legacy that was so heavy. As Damian was mentoring Jon in the superhero world, Jon was mentoring Damian in their personal world outside of patroling.
Under Damian, Jon was getting development, learning to be his own entity, and not overshadowed by his father. Plus Damian wasn’t gonna let Jon just be all muscle, he was teaching him to be analytical-like and do detective work as well. Under Damian, Jon would learn how to be different from his father.
Now that Jon is older, it disrupts that dynamic. I don’t think even Bendis even knows how he messed this up. And no amount of cats, hugs, or whatever he showed us in his version of Super Sons in Superman issue 16 can fix that.
And even if he ages down Jon down, I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him for leaving Damian alone during one of the darkest times of his life after leaving the league (with Alfred dead) and as @wesavegotham said for even implying that Damian was comparable to a ‘baby Hitler.’ I don’t know if that is even worse than Glass destroying Damian’s development.
It is not only insulting to fans of Damian like myself who have watched Damian grow and develop. But it also is an insult to writers like Tomasi and Gleason who worked so hard to develop Damian in the first place.
Sumary: Reyna took Jason to a gay bar, and he meets Leo
Jason was standing in the entrance of a bar, Reyna, his best friend, was sitting in the sidewalk, checking her phone.
“Stop with that.” she said, punching the leg of Jason.
“I’m not doing anything.”
“You’re thinking loudly.” Reyna stand up, patting the arm of Jason “Your parents won’t come, they think we are in Hylla’s place”
Jason knew that, Reyna and Thalia’s plan was almost perfect, but going to that kind of bar, a gay bar, was a declaration, like making official to the world that he was gay, his parents knew, his closest friends knew, he even had a boyfriend, but he never had the guts to speak up about his sexuality, he never was capable to hold the hands of his ex, or kiss him in the light, or saying he loved him, when he did it, deeply.
Sighing, he hold Reyna’s hand, in a tight grip, biting his bottom lip, looking the street, ignoring the glances of others boys around him.
“Today is Latin Night, with Latin music.”
“Latin Americans have a lot of music, they could put salsa, boleros, cumbia…”
“You know what kind of music the will put” the terrified look of Jason made Reyna jiggle “Reggaeton, champeta, guaracha, maybe trap.”
“That means dancing really close, a lot of twerk, sexy moves,” Thalia appeared, hugging Jason, bumping fists with Reyna “And is your punishment, Jay, because you put us down a lot of times”
Pulling his brother, Thalia shared a look with the guard, whom didn’t ask for ID’s, going to the counter, were a girl was mixing beverages, passing to Thalia and Reyna two glasses, like she knew their favorite liquor, giving Jason a look full of mockery.
“What will be the order for the himbo, sparkling water, soda, zero alcohol beer?”
“Phoebe,” said Thalia, her voice sharp “This is my baby brother, I raised him, therefore, he is not a himbo.”
“The baby want milk? I have zero lactose.”
“The baby want a moonlight” interrupt Reyna, rolling her eyes in front of the bartender attitude.
Jason space out while the girls talked, seeing the teenagers dancing in the center of the place, too tight, a pair of girls kissing near the bathrooms, boys nearly making out in the middle of the place, all of them acting freely, shaking their hips, kissing without worries.
He sat near the counter, drinking while Phoebe keep refilling his glass, getting a little bit dizzy, while the night keep going, Reyna and Thalia where somewhere in the place, maybe making out with each other or with someone else.
“Phoebe, my girl, mi chica, who’s the night.”
A boy sat at his side, winking at Phoebe direction, catching all the attention of Jason, taking his breathe, making him blinking fast.
“Shut up, Leo” Phoebe hissed, tuting her tongue af Jason faces “Uh oh, baby Jason is drooling over a boy”
The hot boy, Leo, look at Jason, giving him a smirk that makes Jason miss a few heartbeats, his eyes going through the boys curls, the sharp face, the brown skin, the dark eyes, all making the boy really eye catching.
“I’m Leo”
“You are hot”
The laugh of the boy was glorious, sweet, bubbling, funny.
“I know, but i don’t know your name”
“Jason, Jason Grace, I’m eighteen”
The laugh of Phoebe popped the bubble.
“Leo’s seventeen, sorry baby, you can’t get laid”
Jason tilted his head, blinking, without getting the joke.
“We can enjoy ourselves” answered Leo “we don’t need to get too sexy”
“You are sexy” the words came out dizzy.
“And you’re drunk, do you think you can dance and use your tongue for something else?”
Jason nodded, letting Leo take him to the dance floor, gasping when the boy hugged him, moving his hips, putting his lips near the ear of Jason.
“You don’t have to be a charming knight, you can touch”
Remembering how some friends of Hylla taught him how to dance that kind of music, Jason started to dance, moving with Leo, enjoying the bubbling laugh of the shortest boy, holding his waist, moving along the back of the boy, getting, slowly, closer, the lips of Leo kissing along his neck, under the adam’s apple, his warm hands playing with the hair of Jason.
“I want to see you again” Jason muttered.
“Sorry, Chico Sexy, but I’m not from the zone”
“Me neither”
Leo pulled him near a wall, trapping himself between Jason and the wall, smiling devillish, standing on his tiptoes, kissing the corner of Jason lips, playfully.
“Where are you from?”
“Near San Francisco” Jason muttered, moving his head, trying to caught Leo’s lips “But I’m moving to New York next week”
Leo freeze, letting Jason start a kiss, moving his lips fast, holding the face of Leo, using his tongue to lick Leo’s bottom lip, bitting a little bit.
“I’m going to NYU”
Leo laugh, pushing Jason, pressing his hands on the blonds chest.
“Are you serious?”
“Yep” the word popping out of his mind, his lips leaving a trace along Leo’s sharp jaw, feeling the warm, and a little bit sweaty, skin.
“The universe gotta be fucking kidding me” Leo sighed “If you kiss me well we could have future meetings”
Jason bent over Leo, kissing the boy, an arm holding his waist, one hand on his jaw, lifting his head, open his mouth to receive Leo’s mouth, moaning quietly, while Leo moved his leg sending stars to Jason head, the others boy mouth tasting like smoke, his hands leaving a hot feeling.
***
It was friday, Jason was walking in the campus, seeing the skyscrapers, thinking about the cloudless California sky, missing Reyna, the girl taking a few months before going into college, staying in San Juan, learning about her family, Thalia was still in California, Jason was alone in the Big Apple.
Too focus on his things, didn’t notice the boy walking in his direction, bumping with each other, both falling on the ground.
“Imbécil” muttered the boy, shaking his curly hair.
“You’re Leo” said Jason, remembering the boy he kissed back in that bar “the hot guy of the bar in LA”
“Chico Sexy” The tone was surprised, notting like the suggestive voice he used in the bar “I think the universe said you kissed me good enough”

Disaster gay 🏳️🌈 ✨
🏳️🌈 are you a distinguished gay, a functional gay, or disaster gay? 🏳️🌈
In Batman & Robin 18, while going through Damian’s things, Bruce finds this note.
The idea of Clark sending Damian a list of movies he might find inspiring just rips my heart out.
The movies include titles about adolescent rebellion (On the Waterfront, Rebel Without a Cause), kids overcoming major odds to become successful and heroic (My Left Foot, The Miracle Worker), movies about justice, compassion, and heroism (To Kill a Mockingbird, China Syndrome, Gorillas in the Mist, Cool Hand Luke, Lawrence of Arabia). These are tough, challenging movies, not patronizing kiddie fare.
There was pretty much no hint before that Clark had the kind of relationship with Damian that would prompt a note like this (they met once in canon that I know of)…I wish I knew the story behind this.
(This was a beautiful issue by Tomasi and Gleason, by the way).
I believe in free education, one that’s available to everyone; no matter their race, gender, age, wealth, etc… This masterpost was created for every knowledge hungry individual out there. I hope it will serve you well. Enjoy!

Nico was running, holding Jason's hands, dragging the boy, hiding behind a trash can, in a dead-end.
"Leo's coming," muttered Nico, rising the shirt of Jason "We'll go to my father's castle and kill your soul if you dare to die."
"You're pretty when you're worried."
Nico sighed, pouring nectar on the wound, bloody and green, thanks to the venom of the dracaena.
"I love you, and you don't have to say it back."
The son of Hades froze, it was the first time Jason tell him that words and his heart ached because of the situation.
"Don't you dare think I would let you die."
Filling the mouth of Jason with ambrosia, Nico touched the boy's face, praying to Hermes, asking for a fast and safe trip to Camp Half-Blood.
"You know, I love you too, and your death won't make you leave this relationship."
"The son of Hades, in a romance with a ghost."
"Shut up and eat your ambrosia."
Seeing the wound, it looked less green and smaller, but they needed to be in the infirmary, soon.
"Superman got near kryptonite?"
"I love you, Leo."
Valdez was over Festus, smiling at Nico, looking gorgeous, with the sun behind him, his hair, curly and loose all over his face, tanned, the trickster smile.
"Nico said he loves me and would date even as a ghost."
"Don't make plans without me, I want a ghost boyfriend too."
"Nobody is going to die soon," growled Nico, helping Jason to climb the dragon.
When Leo held the hand of Nico, the young boy blushed, tighten the grip on the hands.
"I love you too, for the record."
"Leo," interrupted Jason "your hair is on fire."
