The KIDS act (which contains KOSA) passed the US house, so I would recommend calling your senators and telling them to vote in opposition. I don't think I need to stress the importance of being able to use the internet freely and without privacy barriers being breached.

There are many scripts online you can follow, many ways to tweak your message to fit your senator (ESPECIALLY if they are up for reelection this year). Whether it's a recording you reach or a real person, be straightforward, don't argue, just let your rep know that you are a constituent and you oppose the KIDS act, etc.

Here is where you can search for your senator... call, email, fax, bring them physical letters, show up in person to their offices if you are able.

Sometimes I really wish I could have one of those old phones with the coiled cords. I've always loved the visual of messing with them while talking— tugging and rolling the loops between your fingers to tease it. Imagining the line crackling as it tries to stay composed so you can finish your conversation... it drives me mad in such a unique way

they're not super common but i really do appreciate characters who are introduced as one gender and later revealed to be closeted trans. i like that it challenges the audience to really think about how they perceive trans people because realistically not every trans person you meet is going to be out to you at first. yes we introduced this character as a man and now we're asking you to reframe her as a woman after you've already gotten to know her. can you be normal about that? can you be normal when it happens to people you know in real life? i hope you can.

The thing is nobody at pride is evaluating you to determine if you’re queer enough to be there because they’re too busy thinking “it’s so hot out” and “why is this lemonade 12 dollars?”

If you are a transfem in a progressive space, you are not a person.

You are a prop, an ornament, a display piece. If you experience soul crushing grief or sadness at the things you're constantly forced to face, you cannot cry, you cannot break, and under no circumstances can you raise your voice.

Unlike the real people present in these spaces, you are not here to have your problems assisted. You are here to look pretty so that those real people can feel good about having a complete collection of vulnerable groups present.

If you make it too clear that you're damaged goods, you can always be tossed out and replaced with someone who smiles more. If you're too loud, people might even start thinking that keeping a creature like you around isn't even worth it for the collection, so keep those thoughts to yourself unless you selfishly want to hurt your kind even more.

Your non-transmisogynised supporters do not care about your wellbeing. They care about your mint condition.

The solution, in my eyes, is to break free of that glass display cabinet and force them to drag you out kicking and screaming. The glass may make you bleed a lot, might hurt the ones who put you in the box, but once you're tossed out back into the dump you'll be able to cuddle with the other discarded dolls and you might just be able to cry in peace.

Happy Father’s Day to trans dads and every trans person with a weird relationship with their father! :)

"I just wanna focus on transmasc issues!"

Then. Do that?

And Stop;

• comparing everything to trans-misogyny when you don't even get the concept - you just want an equivalent to stop feeling obligated to care about it

• getting upset when transfeminism is largely from transfems that made literature about their experiences and transfems who still speak about it

• thinking a transfem talking about trans-misogyny is a personal attack on you

• insisting every structural issue unique to transfems is actually something "we all" face

• On the flip also insisting that transfems just wouldn't understand your connection to femaleness/womanhood and the oppression there - you face UNIQUE things that we do not

• Framing all your conversations around "transfems dont want us to acknowledge we experience oppression!"

• Framing conversations around "sex based oppression" and "male socialization" to prove your points

• Getting upset transfems have their own culture and insisting you NEED your "own version"

• Getting upset when transfems are taken care of and are having their voices listened to and insisting it should be about YOU instead

• Getting upset transfems talk about THEIR issues and not yours

I can go on... You're not called trans-misogynistic because you wanna discuss your oppression (crypto-TERF take btw), it's because you are obsessed with framing everything as you in opposition to transfeminized people and our conversations, our community, our activism, our culture...

Whenever transmasculine people actually create things for themselves instead of being upset transfeminized people didn't create anything for them, you know how transfeminist spaces react? HAPPY. With PRAISE. We discuss it, suggest it to each other, hype it up.. We care, too. The reason you don't recieve the same is because you are doing something that needs to be criticized (comes with the activist space btw - cant handle it dont speak i guess). And the fact you refuse to listen to that and wish to utilize and perpetuate trans-misogyny to deflect from your (now-willful) ignorance is an issue.

It's why you don't see any progress and you are only capable of posting about discourse and the same 5 points and why nobody engages with you how you want - because you functionally went into an activist space, decided to learn nothing, be harmful to others, and then expect praise for it. Nobody will engage with half-baked "if you don't affirm my oppression you're saying I'm not valid!" because we have bigger conversations to actually discuss. So maybe be ACTUALLY caring what you claim to and listen to the actual words other people tell you and you'd get farther... idk..

saw a post arguing that trans*ndrophobia should exist as a term even though other types of men do not get their own unique terms (ie, black men do not get a counterpart term to misogynoir, etc), and that the reason for this is because "discrimination against transmascs is more complex and nuanced than against cis male minorities" and that's gotta be one of the whitest, most birthday boy ass sentences ever conceived.

real talk tho ive seen ppl talk abt how long hair on men isn't intrinsically feminine & assuming so is racist can we get the same convo going for Black women w short hair can we start talking abt how short hair isn't intrinsically masculine or is that a step too far

bringing a sort of "slavery is still alive and well in US prisons" vibe to the office Juneteenth post that my higher ups don't really like

[bewarethecircles]

Highly encourage anyone who hasn’t to read Are Prisons Obsolete by Angela Y. Davis! I was never a fan of prisons in the first place, but this text really fundamentally changed how I viewed them.

A lot of you on here sure don’t like the idea of making any kind of sacrifice for the benefit of others huh

[sandersstudies]

Some of you act like doing minor inconvenient acts of kindness is equivalent to donating a kidney as if it’s not those acts that form our communities and make the world go around.

Return your grocery cart. If you’re able-bodied offer your seat to someone who is not. Help your friend move. Drive your sister to the airport. Make sure drunk people have a safe ride or walk home. Pet-sit for your coworker. Participate in a meal train. Volunteer in your area. That’s what friendship and community is about.
