"Hooray, I'm useful. I'm having a wonderful time!". -Zoidberg

Seriously, they have a transphobic genitally-obsessed bigot ON STAFF who's spent her entire career there making up shit about trans people and trans healthcare. And then, there's Jesse fucking Singal (spit)

I fucking WISH the fucking The Atlantic devoted half the investigative journalism they devoted to an alcoholic fascist running the FBI to the actual truth of trans healthcare, instead of hiring shit propaganda artists to cheer lead a genocide.

I want to see more hairy, brown, gender non-conforming bodies like mine I felt so completely trans, visible and beautiful.

"I want to see more hairy, brown, gender non-conforming bodies like mine" We all do 🫶

Every time I read a piece about somebody with an “ai-assisted editing process” I feel like I’m watching someone trying to intellectualize a deliberate choice not to think or concentrate

'Lesbian Visibility Week is an opportunity to focus on the experiences of LGBTQIA+ women and non-binary people' Philip Baldwin speaks with Nancy Kelley about the need for visibility for LGBTQIA+ women and non-binary people this Lesbian Visibility Week.

Big shout out to all the Crime Lesbians U.K. during Lesbian Visibility Week - continuing to work your lesbian magic regardless of what the supreme court and genitally-obsessed bigots say.

Be crimes, do lesbians.

You make that outfit look good.

Same, I used to think I was just lucky. Or maybe not everyone experienced it.
About the time I started experiencing dysphoria someone told me
"You can't see your shadow in a room with no light. Once you turn the light on, that's when you chance to turn and see your shadow.".

I think it's spot on.

Entry on a neopronoun list for lamprey/lamprey/lampreys/lampreys pronouns

Nothing but respect for someone who chooses the lamprey neopronouns.

A pile of old poster scraps with dates written in bubble letters filled in with alcohol markers and outlined with sharpie. "Friday March 6th" "April 3rd" "~ 5 min slots Sign-up starts at 5:15 PM" "5:30 to 7 PM"

This is the top of the open mic poster. It features hand cut paper letters on a black and white brick background. It had graffiti giving suggestions of things you could come do. There's also a big pink bubble that says "All Ages!"

I've tried to save time by making the process modular.

That was supposed to say AND alcohol in a cup for my face. 😆 I find drinking and drawing help me let go of trying for perfection.

I've been hosting an open mic at a local brewery for 4 months now.
Every single poster has been badly made by me, with alcohol markers (alcohol in a cup for my face) and an ultra fine point sharpie to outline the letters.
So yes, that's exactly what I'm going for.

Screenshot from the film "Airplane!" showing the plane's livery, which is red text reading "TRANS AMERICA" on a white plane.

Holy shit am I the last person to notice the titular airplane in "Airplane!" was TRANS the whole time?

Please boost for me

Thank you

Unfortunately reposts and likes and boosts aren’t doing anything right now and haven’t been all week

but if you keep boosting I’m sure someone who can help will see

😆

I always laugh because a chicken tender is both the person who cares for the chicken, and the breaded fried food.
Do you think chicken tenders eat chicken tenders?

while we measure women's skulls and organs as a surveillance practice CNN broke a story on how 60 million men worldwide are attending an online "rape academy" just a week after a paper was released showing that 91% of men anonymously admitted to trying to coerce women into sex

😊

Same.

I want the names. Of every man who visited the online 'rape academy! I want their next of kin. I want their place of work. I want their headshots on every billboard. I want them in the town square. Right where we can see them. I want them fearful. I want them second guessing every woman they know. I want them looking over their shoulders. Harried. Hurried. Nervous and afraid. I want their palms sweaty. Their breathing shallow. I want them to taste the fear that we have lived with for all our lives. I want them to wonder if their next step will be their last. Then, I'll gently tell them that it's not all women and we'll see if that appeases them. If they sleep easier. If they can relax. Knowing that not all women want to drag a knife across their throat for what they've done. Only some. ~ salmaelwardany

The hardest part of this long process of transition is being kind to myself when dysphoria hits hard and the finish line feels miles away.

Reminding myself today that I’m allowed to be a work in progress and that every step forward is a success.

It's not transition.

It's Optimization.

And maybe a memory dump.

“Transgender ideology” doesn’t turn kids transgender. The classic manga Ranma 1/2, by Rumiko Takahashi, turns kids transgender. Know the difference.

😊 thanks 🫂

Gosh I really love my name.
It's such a nice feeling to have a name that really feels like it's mine.
Not just something I'm called.

I don't dislike my old name, but until I found my name, I didn't understand what it felt like to really have a name.
Something that feels like it's a part of you.

What I need is for men to have zero romantic or sexual expectations of me and just treat me like a normal person, forever. When I say “platonic,” I mean Imagine a “person” in your head, then treat me like that.

If you’re “not all men,” maybe be especially tender and accommodating toward women until further notice. Or, depending on your proximal women, get out of their way, or take up arms with them. Ask them what they need right now and do it. We are not ok.
