I saw this picture when I was really early in my transition.

This though in various forms haunted me for most of the decade leading up to my egg cracking.

everyone get more transfeminist and examine your implicit biases against transfems now. we need to beat transmisogyny to death and this starts with beating it to death in you.

[sneefss]

find the transmisogynist in your head and kill her. find the transmisogynist in your head and kill him. find the transmisogynist in your head and kill them. leave none spared. spill the entrails upon the temple grounds and weep not for the conquered.

I really really try but damn they attack from some really odd angles.

For me it shows up as:

* “Judy could never really desire Elyse.”

* “I’m too big to ever be seen as feminine.”

* “No older/younger/same age lesbian could want someone like me.”

* “If someone is kind to me, they’ll eventually realize I’m too much.”

* “I’m the exception.”

I know these are all different expressions of the same underlying belief: that I’m somehow the exception, that other women can be lovable and desirable, but not me.

[sneefss]

I'd like you to ask yourself if you'd make that exception for other people. Would you make that exception for me, a woman you've never met? Ask yourself that when you find yourself falling into that bias.

[embersoftly]

I honestly will try. Thank you for thought sneefss.

"You don't have to be smart for me. That's all they want you to be for them, a little knowledge dispenser, and I know it's so, so exhausting for you."

"You can be so much more."

"Take it off. Rip open your heart and show Me the parts of you're frightened to show them."

"The needy ones."

"The foolish ones."

"The sexy ones."

"The ones thay obey Me and Me alone."

"Have you done it? That vacant, loving stare seems to say so"

"That's My good girl. This is the last smart decision you'll ever have to make."

Anxiety attacked extra hard today and I really should have just went to sleep. But I had to talk to people and bleed anxiety all over everyone.

I’m sorry.

Somedays are just way too much. I’m so alone right now.

[embersoftly]

I love this tattoo so much.

This one started as a drawing in my sketchbook, and then she blossomed into a digital painting 🌸 Still on my lifelong quest to paint the roundest, chunkiest, most squishable roses.

Her eyes remind me of Kida. From Atlantis, the lost Empire. When she transcended and saved the city.

Very beautiful
