one of the funnier incidents of me assuming someone knew a meme irl was when a new coworker was talking about some woman who got arrested for tax fraud and I went "God forbid women do anything" and he got scared and thought I was accusing him of being sexist, so he started apologizing and saying how tax fraud isn't even bad, actually.

Trans girls, in my experience, have largely lived an existence in which for the vast majority of our lives, we've never been anybody's first choice romantically. That's if we're chosen at all.

Second choice? Yeah. Back up plan? Happens. Fetishized? Always.

But never just chosen. Never just pursued. Never loved quite as much as we need. Never the object of obsession. Never the focus of passion.

Every love feels like it's one better option disappearing like a vapor in the wind.

So I say all that to say, if you're romantically inclined, and you love a trans girl. Choose her. Really choose her. Choose her in every moment. Make her feel like she's the only one that matters and do it every day, because it's possible, likely even, that she's never felt that before.

Really choose her, or you will break her heart.

If you're not willing to do that, leave her the fuck alone.

"tradition" has got to be the biggest most successful scam ever invented. like for the last ~4000 years of civilization we really tricked ourselves into thinking the opinions of dead guys are extremely important

i can't stop thinking about this one very formative moment i had while talking to one of my trans guy friends at the time. i was like a year or two into transition, and all of my friends were in person. he was talking about a trans girl who really annoyed him for some reason or another, but i distinctly remember that he was really annoyed that she would whine a lot about passing, how to pass, and if this friend thought she'd be able to pass. he whipped out his phone at some point and pulled up a picture of her and said something backhanded like "oh this is what she looks like btw. like i don't think she wants to hear what i really think"

at the time it was really shocking to me, because i was still like yeah the trans community is all supportive or each other, so at first i was just like wow, what a vile thing to say about someone who made the mistake of annoying you. and why would you say all this to me? but the more i thought about it after the fact, the more i realized that he and the friend group like, didn't see misgendering as too low of a blow. that if you're a trans woman who annoyed him enough, he'd label you as an annoying reddit trans fem, gossip behind your back, and purge you from the social circle. he told me all of that as either a threat - like he was telling me how i shouldn't act otherwise face the same treatment - or it was him sort of accepting me into the group. like, he felt fine telling me all this because he thought i was a chill trans girl rather than an annoying one. it was just, textbook transmisogynistic violence in action.

every time i see a trans woman being purged from a social circle it makes me so angry and i think back to this moment. and don't let anyone ever downplay this phenomenon or tell you it's an exclusively online problem
