You know what that’s not it. People who don’t understand trans women are happy as women are doing so intentionally. They are actively choosing to refuse to acknowledge our happiness as women.
I do have more interests than media aimed at children but the thing is I can only talk about media aimed at children with other assholes online.
if I've read a good book I can talk to a person face to face about it. I can't afford the aura loss of trying to talk to another adult about lego fucking ninjago.
You can access it here. Please reblog this post when you see it so more folks can get access and so I can get more recommendations to add to it lmfao

"Anonsee, what is Transfeminist Womanism?"
Transfeminist Womanism itself is a synthesis of both eponymous ideologies, seeking to fill the gaps formed within each that often leave out Black trans women - racism within transfeminism, transmisogyny within womanism - when Black trans women are often the people that need those ideologies the most. Transfeminist Womanism is a primarily Abolitionist ideology, finding value in the rhetoric, knowledge, tactics, and tools of anarchism, communism, and other ideologies without falling directly into any of those categories.
Additionally, I've curated a "Foundational" folder that gives guided reading to help understand the underlying principles and thoughts behind Transfeminist Womanism.
If you're an author of works in the archives and you'd like to be added to the tip list, please send me a DM and I'll add your information. For fiction titles and art, I'm only accepting works from Black and/or transfemme authors/artists to be added to the archives.
NEW: If you are Black and/or Transfemme and would like to potentially include your art in the archive - visual, audio, or otherwise so long as its digital, DM me!

Archivist's note: Remade the post because I updated a bunch of file organization and standardized the file naming much to my chagrin the past several days. This should make it easier to find items AND search the archives. Thank y'all so much for your support in this, it really really means a lot.
did your doctor tell you that finasteride/dutasteride is a testosterone blocker? it is not, you were lied to, they do virtually nothing to block testosterone.
I'm sorry that this is so common, if you're using Folx (or an equivalent) they all have some kind of "request a new provider" (say this phrase to the customer service representative) process. I know that starting with a new person is hard, but this is a huge red flag. I want you to have someone that doesn't make you read tumblr posts and evaluate the color of their flag.
the short explanation is that those drugs lower your levels of dihydrotestosterone. your doctor thinks that, since DHT is (genuinely true, deeply oversimplified) responsible for a lot of masculinization, blocking DHT will be enough.
the primary problem here is that your doctor is trying to alleviate your gender dysphoria, not help you more closely resemble the woman you want to be.
the secondary problem is that your doctor thinks medicine is a solved science. the longer explanation is that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are poorly-understood despite the fact that they're the most common form of gender-affirming medication prescribed to cis people.
how much research do you think exists on their efficacy for trans women? yep.
your estrogen and testosterone levels matter. it's not as simple as "more E is good, less T is also good", but if your doctor made you feel like the numbers don't matter and you should let them worry about it? you need a new doctor.
I won't describe the different ways I've felt at different estrogen/testosterone levels, but I can. the difference is large. will your doctor let you find out for yourself?
if not: they work for you. you pay them. fire your doctor
I worry that I made too fine a point when I said "your doctor is trying to alleviate your gender dysphoria, not help you more closely resemble the woman you want to be"
bluntly, your doctor is trying to help you become Diet Man. a "feminine man". find someone who can help you become the woman you were always meant to be.
at the absolute maximum, $80 will buy you a vial that equates to 2 years of effective HRT
trans men get prescribed testosterone and (if they bring it up, doctors fail the boys slightly less but still fail them deeply) finasteride/dutasteride to prevent Male Pattern Baldness.
princess, why is your doctor telling you that the same drug they give trans men to prevent baldness is a T blocker? do they tell that to trans men?
Transphobia is about to be signed into law in the UK. We can fight this.
I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the Mass Lobby at Parliament on June 25th, 11am-4pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.
Last year we broke the record for an LGBT+ mass lobby of Parliament. Will you help us break it again? Join us on 25th June 2026 to demand be
The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It becomes statutory guidance in the UK by the end of June.
Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or don’t pass too well.
A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Ask your MP to:
Demand full parliamentary scrutiny, debate, and use their free vote on the EHRC Code of Practice.
Support any motions rejecting the EHRC guidance. As of June 4th, Labour MP Nadia Whittome has submitted a prayer motion - Early Day Motion 240.
Write to Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Women and Equalities about our concerns
Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.
I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.
It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:
Worried about what to say?
Bring your personal worries about transphobia being signed into law, and trans friends being excluded from public spaces. You are a living person who deserves dignity. Remind your MP of that. You will also get guidance and brochures from Trans Solidarity Alliance that outlines our demands. This is mine from last year.
Money issues?
Trans Solidarity Alliance provides a travel bursary that you can sign up for via the link.
Got a refusal or no response from your MP?
Come anyway! You can request a same-day appointment with your MP through a process called greencarding. They will come and see you if they’re already in Parliament. Even if they don’t, they’re made acutely aware of your cause because you showed up in person. This is my greencard from last year.
Here is the EHRC Code of Practice in full. It's a tough read, but some highlights are:
Organisations can’t provide trans-inclusive, single-sex services, or they risk being sued for discrimination.
e.g. domestic violence support for women including trans women, men’s rugby group including trans men (12.68).
Trans people will have nowhere safe to pee.
If you’re a trans man, businesses can't allow you to pee in the men's, and you can also be ejected from women’s bathrooms if you’re perceived as a man. Vice versa for trans women. EHRC suggests a ‘third space’ bathroom, which is discriminatory and unworkable for most businesses. (13.130-133)
Sports organisations must exclude trans people from single-sex competitions (13.73).
A women’s only sports competition must exclude trans women because of their biological advantage or face potential lawsuits (13.74), but a trans man who has undergone testosterone treatment can also be excluded based on fairness rules (13.81).
Trans women are stripped of the legal definition of ‘lesbian’, and therefore no longer have legal protections if they’re discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation. (2.50, 2.92).
Here is the Good Law Project's better explanation of the EHRC Code.
I have also made a PDF printout of QR codes for the government petition, email your MP tool, and mass lobby link to pass around your communities. DM me and I'll send it to you.
