We're an adult, we post about adult things. If you're under 18, be aware of this.
Figured out we're a median system, but most of the time we're in a median state, so don't worry too much about name guesswork, Aysa is fine unless you want to talk to a specific one of us.
Heyyyyyyy guess what fuckers. We're more polyconscious than median now. Basically means that we're more distinct, but a few of us tend to be active at once. More common fronters will have their own text colors and type. White normal text is still general/anonymous

estrogen. rules. having tits. rules. turning yourself into a woman. rules. i cannot believe you bitches were not exaggerating even a little bit. i figured it would be pretty good but it's more like a complete transposition of the mind and body onto a new unbelievably sick level of reality
trans woman does something kinda shitty > internet goes nuclear starts involving kiwifarms nazis for no reason > people harmed by kinda shitty behavior can’t bring it up due to not wanting to associate with kiwifarms nazis > trans woman driven off the internet > nobody wins except kiwifarms nazis > repeat forever
this has become something of a rallying cry in our circles, largely because of our community building work. we have gathered a couple dozen trans women in the same place and we have to love them. it is necessary to do what we're doing. we have to love our girls.
one of the girls asked how we could be so positive after we'd spent a while trying to convince her she wasn't a burden. we said that the alternative was worse - we have to look after each other. others said: you have to stay positive to keep going. gotta stay silly. that the way you care for others is the way they care for you. you have to help those you care about.
the alternative, is that she comes to you, clearly in distress, starts to ask for help but convinces herself you don't care, walks away, and then you never see her again.
trans women are isolated, pushed aside, ignored, and burned. we're all hurt and traumatised. we're not even safe in communities built for us and by us sometimes. even the happiest of us has to push through so much pain just to live. it's worth it, but it's hard. they payoff is that we get to live - not just stay alive, but actually properly live. we can't not be who we are. we need to be ourselves!
we need each other. we need community. we need touch. we need resources. we need money. we need others to love us enough not just to let us live, but to help us actually enjoy our lives, to help us pursue our freedom and needs. it's not enough to accept the trans woman, you have to love her. you have to love her before it's too late. you need to reach out to her, include her, support her... because...
half of us are convinced we don't deserve to be loved. the other half are convinced that we'll never be loved the way we need. the other half are abandoning our humanity because humanity doesn't want us. the other half of us are giving up on living. the other half of us are determined to just survive. the other half are focussing on the positive because the negative is just too crushing to contemplate. the other half are contorting ourselves to fit an image of perfection to be accepted. the other half are standing tall and avoiding all semblance of weakness to be there for everyone - because if she can love her sisters maybe she can learn to love herself too.
you have to love the tgirl, because you might be the only one who does. that means having understanding, compassion, forgiveness, and empathy for her. it means being willing to forgive her when she hurts you, it means being willing to apologise when you hurt her, it means acknowledging that she might not forgive you.
"My son turned out jus-" First off, that's not your son, that's my daughter. Second off, you misgender her again in my presence, your pronouns are all about to become past tense.
Now, I have a daughter to cherish until I'm the only one who remembers that you are her bloodline mother, not me.
"I will never swim again until and unless I get surgery."
"This is why I try so hard to protect my trans sister, she has to deal with so much of this all of the time."
"And this is why I will never learn how to swim"
"I never go swimming, unless it's an event that explicitely mention that Trans Women are welcome"
And other such tags I am vaguely paraphrasing are ones I have had the horror of reading on my post. The trans girls are not swimming. It feels like there is a hole in my body where my heart should be, through which all my blood is pouring. I can't.
This is just the tiniest fucking window into how transmisogyny affect people. This is about a space that was held by trans people and for trans people where the transphobia targeting a transfeminine person was prioritized over everything else.
If anyone doesn't believe how badly transfems want to swim and how badly they fucking don't get to, don't feel/aren't safe enough to do so, whatever the fuck else, just look at the comments and tags. I thought there were already too many for it to be random on a post with, at this time, about ten times the reach of this one hereabove.
And yet I have ten times as many tags and comments on this here post about trans women and transfems not swimming. Heartbroken doesn't fucking cover it. I am trying to stay sane in the face of this but I am seriously not doing a great job at it. Fucking hell.
was going through my files and i found this old sketch of an ara piloting a gundam for an au from like june. i dont think ill ever actually finish the au (or even this drawing), so you all get to just see this
tldr of it though was that the nation was zeon (communist edition!) and the empire was the federation and only replikas could pilot mobile suits. naturally newtypes were bioresonants
the outcries about shinigami eyes being used to keep an eye out for transmisogynists and transphobes in general and how this rots your brain [sic] or something are really funny considering crowdsourcing (which btw is not synonymous with "not making your own judgement ever") is one of the things the internet excels at. once again this just falls into the category of "you just don't like it when it's trans women doing it".
like, this extension is basically a version of "does the dog die" (beloved by most people on this site!) but for transmisogyny. there's nothing keeping you from interacting with red marked users or looking for the reasons they're marked red to see whether you agree (i often do this myself even though there's never any false flags, i just like to know what particular brand of transphobe i'm dealing with). you're just mad trans women are trying to keep each other safe from you lol
