Utah is such a weird place. I went back to the town I grew up in for a relatives birthday. We were at the Olive Garden (not there when I was a kid) and at least one of the families there was polygamist. The servers were half conservative Mormons and half wolf cut tatted up ladies. I was there (trans woman) with my wife. Lots of little kids, but also lots more brown faces than there were when I was a kid. Goat ropers and suburbanites. An odd kind of diversity.
Watching this scene hurt more than any other scene from any movie I had ever seen, and the more I dug into why the more I realized I was a woman. The sound of her screaming “I’M REAL” was the sound of my egg cracking. Watching this and the rest of the matrix series and I Saw the TV Glow within a couple months was an interesting time for me.

Convinced every mii made by a white transfem egg looked like this
They either looked like that or like this at the toss of a coin
This is the most comprehensive and impressive resource I've ever watched on transphobia. I think this is an especially important video for cis people to watch. The video is accessible and meant to be an educational tool for people who are confused by what the hell is going on right now. Every possible question you could have on trans issues is addressed in this video.
This pride month, if you want to help combat transphobia from your coworkers, friends, family, and so on, this is a very good educational resource to help you understand every aspect of transphobic rhetoric, policies, legislation, history - everything. It was made by a cis guy who drove himself crazy trying to figure out why everyone hates trans people, to the point that he dropped out of university to make this video. Given the global state of increasing anti-trans violence, I really strongly urge cis people to watch this video in full. It is an incredibly valuable resource and I cannot recommend watching it strongly enough.
Life for trans people is only becoming more horrifying, and I genuinely appreciate and respect every cis person who takes the time to watch this video, educate themselves, and understand the many fights ahead.
Starting my speech at the Omelas city council with a child acknowledgement statement
“If a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to “eat like growing boys,” while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. Similarly, people who spend eight hours a day in an office working at a typewriter or a visual display terminal will be biologically different from those who work on construction jobs. There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments. Sex-typed generalizations, such as that men are heavier, taller, or stronger than women, obscure the diversity among women and among men and the extensive overlaps between them… Most women and men fall within the same range of heights, weights, and strengths, three variables that depend a great deal on how we have grown up and live. We all know that first-generation Americans, on average, are taller than their immigrant parents and that men who do physical labor, on average, are stronger than male college professors. But we forget to look for the obvious reasons for differences when confronted with assertions like ‘Men are stronger than women.’ We should be asking: ‘Which men?’ and ‘What do they do?’ There may be biologically based average differences between women and men, but these are interwoven with a host of social differences from which we cannot disentangle them.”
— Ruth Hubbard, “The Political Nature of ‘Human Nature’“
question for the "trans men can be lesbians" crowd:
what word is there to communicate to others "I'm a woman who loves women"?
hi sorry for using this short post as a jumping off point for a long one, but this sparked a lot of thoughts for me!
this is something that I wish people would take more seriously. I am a woman who loves women and no one else. that's my sexual orientation. I didn't pick it, it's just who I am.
there's currently no single word I can use to communicate that. when I say I'm lesbian, queer people consistently assume that I mean it in the most expansive way possible.
and no one wants to say it, but the reality of what's happening when people make those assumptions is that they hear the word "lesbian" and replace it with the word "bisexual." they think I'm attracted to all genders, even men, as long as they're the good kind (AFAB).
the problem with this, which should be obvious, is the misogyny. people don't want to accept that a woman could ever be satisfied by only loving other women. they have to squeeze other genders in there to make it make sense to them. and they have to push the limits of lesbianism to include people who are more and more in proximity to manhood until it's assumed as a matter of cour that lesbians are all attracted to men.
we're already very far down that road. I can't call myself a lesbian without having people make all kinds of wild and wrong assumptions about who I am and who I'm open to dating (which leads to sexual harassment and feeds into all other kinds of misogyny that women face from the rest of the queer community).
I don't know whether the right way to reduce the harm here is to push back on the idea that men can be lesbians, or to come up with a new word that specifically means women who love women, or both. If there's a new word then it'll be corrupted sooner or later. That's already happened with sapphic, and, incredibly, "WLW".
either way the situation leaves me with no sympathy for trans men who call themselves lesbians.
oh and you (the reader) might think, why are trans women the ones who seem to have the strongest opinions about this? it's because everyone else sabotaged their misogyny radar (misogydar, if you will) when they decided to twist their feminism into knots in order to exclude us from it.
This is a comic that hates you. This is a comic that assumes you voted for Trump because you are a fan of The Mask (probably rightfully so). The Mask breaks the fourth wall and tell you to fuck yourself no less than 3 times. This is a comic dripping with disdain for the reader and ends with telling you it's your fault the world is like this.
Needless to say, very enjoyable.
can everyone reblog with the interest of theirs that was the most intense or continued for the longest because i’m so curious

Sometimes being trans is listening to the Miley album that came out the year before you attempted suicide
And crying because you can feel the outline in your body of the teenage girl that,
Worse than dead,
Never was
Then you listen to the Miley album that came out the year after you transitioned
And you cry because you can feel the shape of your body changing away from
The man that,
better than dead,
never will be
