“And build an altar where it swells.” Hi comrade, I’m John. I’m the angry feminist your friend Chad warned you about. I’m trans/nonbinary/demigender (he/they), HRT 💉 10/18/22. I’m masculine but NOT a man, just not a woman either. I’m queer, white and was born in 1989. Saying it that way is easier than changing my age in my bio every year. I’m very, very depressed and severely unequipped to deal with the trials and tribulations of adulthood. I am a soft and tired bear. Trans/sex worker exclusionary radical feminists and MAPs are my enemy. I have GREAT RESPECT for Ray Toro and should probably start a side blog but um. Fuck you, Ray Toro in your face on main! I am normal about MCR. (No I’m not, but keep in mind it’s all in jest for the most part.)

pretty sure i’m living proof that listening to Chappell Roan for 12hrs a day and writing lesbian Olivia Benson fan fiction can trans your gender even— or maybe especially— if you’re already trans
at heart i’m really just a pink pony girlboy and sometimes a boygirl and um this may or may not make me really emotional because gender and discovery are weird and divine and lovely
butch is an extremely diverse identity that intersects lesbianism and strives for a masculinity that is not rooted in the patriarchy. butch is a gender identity that means many things to many different people, not just cis white lesbians. that includes studs, butches on t, butches who are trans, butches who transitioned, butches who use he/him, butches who have a weird gender, boydykes, lesboys, and especially butches of the working class. if you don't support them then you don't actually support butches.
Every time I hear a parent complaining about their child leaving for university and ‘never coming back’ I’m like “Yeah. I don’t need to hear anything else. Kid is in the right.” also, it is baffling how many parents expect their kids to MOVE CLOSER TO THEM so they can see their grandkids. If you ‘feel abandoned’ maybe you could consider leaving Shitsburgh Hatesville and moving closer to them? Or is that too brave?
And I know there is a lot of cultural and family tie related things that can make relocating as an older person scary but I grew up in an area with a terrible economy, a declining population, no healthcare, no job opportunities, no educational opportunities and terrible infrastructure and I got so sick of listening to people complain that their children left. It is a horrible place to raise a child. There is no drugstore in the town, no pediatrician, no entertainment, corruption, a terrible school and again, no jobs. If you actually loved your grandchildren, you’d understand why their parents don’t want to raise them there.
Hey baby transmascs, never detransition for a shitty straight guy no matter how attractive he is or how lonely you feel. You deserve better, you deserve to be happy. You deserve a partner who will love you truly and want you to be the most authentic version of yourself.
Additionally, baby transfems, never detransition for a shitty straight girl no matter how attractive she is or how lonely you feel. You deserve better, you deserve to be happy. You deserve a partner who will love you truly and want you to be the most authentic version of yourself
Never give someone the time of day who just treats you like a "safer man", you're a woman.
Arrivals & Departures . 26 October 1946 – 06 December 2015 . Holly Woodlawn
Holly Woodlawn was an American actress and Warhol superstar who appeared in the films Trash (1970) and Women in Revolt (1971). She is also known as the Holly in Lou Reed's hit glam rock song "Walk on the Wild Side".
Woodlawn was born in Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico, to a German-American father who was a soldier in the U.S. Army, and Aminta Rodriguez, a native Puerto Rican, and grew up in Miami Beach, where she came out at a young age. She adopted the name Holly from the heroine of Breakfast at Tiffany's, and in 1969 added the surname from a sign she saw on an episode of I Love Lucy. After changing her name she began to falsely tell people she was the heiress to Woodlawn Cemetery.
In 1962, at the age of fifteen, Woodlawn ran away from home, leaving Florida heading north. She recollected that "I hocked some jewelry and ... made it all the way to Georgia, where the money ran out and ... had to hitchhike the rest of the way" to New York City.
She recalled in her memoir, A Low Life in High Heels:
At the age of 16, when most kids were cramming for trigonometry exams, I was turning tricks, living off the streets and wondering when my next meal was coming.
By 1969, she had considered sex reassignment surgery, but decided against it.
“If I’m wearing pants, call me a man. If I’m wearing a dress, call me a cab!” Holly Woodlawn
Born on this day 78 years ago: effervescent underground actress, cabaret artiste, Warhol muse and transgender trailblazer Holly Woodlawn (né Haroldo Santiago Franceschi Rodriguez Danhakl, 26 October 1946 - 6 December 2015). In the late 1960s Woodlawn, along with Candy Darling and Jackie Curtis, comprised the trio of outrageous Andy Warhol Superstar trans queens who would inspire and get name-checked - and thus be immortalized - in Lou Reed's 1972 single “Walk on the Wild Side”. (Woodlawn outlived her friends Darling and Curtis by decades). I only crossed paths with Woodlawn once, when literary homme du monde Rupert Smith memorably interviewed her onstage about her life and career at London’s Drill Hall Theatre in September 2007. Physically she was already in failing health, but Woodlawn gave a master class in charisma, wit and star power and reminded me of an escapee from a Pedro Almodovar film. When I was leaving, I told her what a pleasure it had been to see her and Woodlawn vowed, “Oh, you haven't seen the last of me! I'll be back!" Sadly, it wasn’t to be. The best way to remember Woodlawn is to watch her gutsy, hilarious performance in the Paul Morrissey black comedy Trash (1970). The new book Love You Madly, Holly Woodlawn: A Walk on the Wild Side with Andy Warhol’s Most Fabulous Superstar by Jeff Copeland drops in February 2025 – pre-order it now! (I’ve read an advance copy – it’s juicy!).
When Konstantin walks INTO THE FRAME AT THE BAR HOLY SHIT. I’m glad Eve is wary because I’m not sure Carolyn is— though she is shrewder than she appears. God I love spy stuff, and gay stuff. Why haven’t I watched this show before?
