Emerson MacKenzie

The name's Emerson Ellington-MacKenzie, and yes it's a pleasure to meet you, assuming we have met. I'm a true southern belle most days. Born and raised in the buckle of the Bible Belt. Moved to New York shortly after I turned seventeen. I'm a stay-at-home-mom now. Our Genevieve was born July 12th, 2016. She's the most amazing little thing. Of course she is. Look at who her parents are. She's getting so big now, I can hardly stand it. Yes, I am transgender. My pronoun is she/her. I finally took the plunge November 2016, and now I finally look every bit the woman I feel. Hate to break your heart but you can't have me. Honestly, I'm not sorry at all. I'm currently married to the greatest person in the world. Cameron is everything I could ever ask for. He's my Prince Charming and sometimes she's my Princess. We met here on tumblr, haven't been apart since. He's the owner of the Decadence Bakery in midtown Manhattan. Hit it up if you ever want to taste the greatest cupcakes in the world. ♡ April 5, 2015 ♡

fun fact one of the world champions in pepper-eating contests is a trans woman and she actually faced significant backlash because people somehow thought she had a biological advantage. to eating spicy pepper

[grippy3000]

update bc i went back and checked: her name is brianna “the chilli queen” skinner and she set a record in 2017 by slamming back 23 carolina reapers consecutively. she only stopped when told to by the referees, and the next year she stepped down out of boredom. queen

[pettyartist]

Here's a picture of her, by the way

And her super supportive wife

The championship, it should be noted, is unisex. Apparently being a trans woman gives you an innate biological advantage over both cis men and cis women.

Bruce: A memo from the Justice League.

Bruce, reading from a paper: Due to elevating cursing from the other heroes that we believe is coming from batfamily, we now are changing the way things are phrased.

Bruce, to Jason: "Ask me if I give a fuck" will be now "Of course I’m concerned."

Jason:

Bruce, to Tim: "Who gives a shit?" is now "I wasn’t involved in that."

Tim: *nods*

Bruce, to Stephanie: "Kiss my ass" is now "I don’t think you understand."

Stephanie: Okay.

Bruce, to Dick: "Suck my dick" is now "Have a nice day."

Dick:

Bruce, to Damian: And finally "Who the hell died and made you boss?" is now "You want me to take care of this?"

Damian: Yes, Father.

Duke: Bruce, you want me to write a reply email from you about this?

Bruce: Yes, please reply: "To the Justice League, of course I’m concerned. You want me to take care of this? While I wasn’t involved in that, I feel you should reverse these changes as I don’t think you understand. Have a nice day."

The batkids: *snickering*

Alfred: That’s my boy.

Selina: I love you.

In 1934-1936, trans brothers Mark and David Ferrow of Yarmouth, UK, both transitioned at age 13 with full parental support. Mark medically transitioned first in 1939 at 17 and his brother soon followed. “Though we have been girls, we have both felt men at heart,” Mark told a reporter. Their stories show that trans youth can grow up to be happy, celebrated adults.

David lived in their hometown of Great Yarmouth, UK for the rest of his life. He became a local icon. At 15, he started selling books. He later ran a wildly successful bookshop until death in 2006, age 81, 68 years after transitioning. He had a daughter, Jan, who supported his work. The whole town adored him. Why, yes, that is a mug of his face. Mark, always passionate about art, joined the Kirby Muxlue Players troupe as a writer and traveled throughout the UK. His David Gower painting is currently in the UK’s National Portrait Gallery! His art still hangs in collections all over the country - although it’s almost never recognized as being by a trans artist. Mark married Edna Hall in 1942 and died in 1991, age 68, in Leicester. It’s important to mention that it’s unclear if both men are intersex despite the reports. At the time, it was customary for non-intersex trans people to claim intersex conditions in order to access care (e.g. Roberta Cowell). Regardless if they were trans or intersex and trans, I would hate their underreported stories to be forgotten!

FedEx: shits on my box, stomps on my box, kicks it, dumps gasoline on it, throws one of my chickens into the back of the van UPS: whispers at my front door “is anyone home” as quietly as possible before leaving a “we missed you!” note, tries to gaslight me into thinking my address doesn’t exist USPS: sets my package down gently where it’s not visible from the road, knocks on the door and kisses me directly on the mouth

Is this…shipping discourse?

[frances-baby-houseman]

Amazon once threw a package at my door and then took a photo while it was midair. Not sure where that fits in this schema but I did want to tell y’all about it.

Do you have some fun facts about frogs? Cursed or wholesome, I'm not picky!

have you ever wondered; why the desert rain frog has the ass of a small human man?

it's because desert rain frogs are burrowers! they spend most of their time buried in the ground to keep cool and moist in their unenviable desert home. and crucially, they do this BACKWARDS.

so, the secret to a great ass, from a tiny frog: bury yourself in the sand all the time ass-first, and you too will develop glutes of steel.

and then you can make this face all the time forever.

Still trying to wrap my head around the cops getting more kids shot because they decided to play school shooting Marco Polo

[mr-deep-downer]

I mean I think the Supreme Court set a legal precedence that cops don’t have a legal responsibility to actually step in if they fear for their life while a crime is in progress.

And I read that the guy who killed the shooter also got domed himself, but of course it took border patrol swat to actually go in and do something. Apparently a lot of them had kids at that school go figure.

[qwertyu858]

I mean, yes, but they actually played marco polo with the shooter.

Like they told kids to scream “help” WHILE THE SHOOTER WAS STILL INSIDE, ARMED AND ALIVE, and they were not with them, so one hiding girl did it, the shooter heard her, went back and killed her.

One of her schoolmates was close, also hiding, saw the murder and keep very quiet. He told everything to some reporter.

[mr-deep-downer]

wait what in the fuck that wasn’t a metaphor

[gunsandfireandshit]

100% literal

[kineticpenguin]

Also, it’s worth remembering that the cops are constantly revising their story as more unfavorable information comes out. It’s entirely possible that what we learn from here will be even worse.

[balaclava-trismegistus]

things i feel the need to clarify when im 100% sure i didnt shoot any innocent bystanders

[gunsandfireandshit]

They def shot at least one kid

[halfhumanhalfasleep]

I read about some of the parents saying the cops who had kids at that school went and got them out but wouldn’t let the parents in… this whole thing is just getting worse and worse

Cops told kids at Texas school to ‘yell if you need help.’ When one did, the gunman came over and shot her, another student says

A mother who was handcuffed outside the Texas school shooting later ran into the school and pulled her two children to safety: report
