when terfs and crypto-terfs say that trans women have to “unlearn male socialization”, they never mean stuff like “try to get back in touch with your emotions after years of dissociating because you were closeted” but usually things more like “unless you act like a complete doormat we are going to brand you as aggressive and a sexual deviant and make sure that you get as close to possible to dying”. you have to be a “perfect feminist” (THEIR brand of feminism) to even attain the right to have the correct pronouns used for you (when such a demand is never presented to cis women since even people as vile as Margaret Thatcher don’t have their True Femaleness put into question ever). The entire “YOU MUST UNLEARN YOUR MALE SOCIALIZATION” argument is predicated from the beginning on the idea that trans women are more dangerous to cis women than viceversa when… all empirical evidence can show us is that this is… the complete opposite, in the real world.

Is a job in theatre that pays and won’t require me to move away for 9 months really that much to ask for?

On an impulse I started writing this story about a couple who breaks up and stays friends and I might have fallen in love with both characters

hey everyone, i know i made a post earlier, but that one lost traction so lux asked me to make a new one. my sister lux aka @moningmyrtle on here and @/badgirlseraph on twitter is a currently unemployed trans woman of color in Charlotte, NC facing eviction from an extended stay hotel. she barely raised enough money last time to make rent but if she doesn’t raise $318 by this Saturday she will be homeless. if you’d like something in return for your donation, send me a screenshot of your donation and i’ll send you a link to one of my poetry books! 

please donate or reblog if you can, even $1 will help a bunch! <3 and if ur gonna be ugly please block me and scroll past thanks! im gonna try updating this post once she reaches her goal and thanks again :)

Days to myself are always emotional rollercoasters. I need to cherish the good--fuck, I’m in the middle of doing something I enjoy right now--and take what lessons I can from the uncomfortable

I don’t think I’m sad so much as I’m just struggling to reconcile the idealized image of my life with the messy reality. Not everything in my world can be photogenic, not every facet of my life can be an easily digestible story.

I thought I was pretty close to this coworker at my old theatre job but apparently not close enough to start a music podcast with them like their current intern
