I wanted to share some more of these, specifically trans women of color. The images I'm posting are from a project called To Survive On This Shore and it's an interview project. I am only posting a handful so it's so worth checking out!

This is Linda, 60

Alexis, 64

Helena, 63

Kendrah, 72 (!!)

Tasha, 65

It was deeply healing to me to discover this project. The site has selected photos and attached interviews and it's definitely worth your time. I didn't include any because the focus of this post imo is transfems but there are a lot of beautiful interviews with transmasc people too if you're interested! But that'll have to be another post 💖

for those interested, the photographer is Jess T. Dugan. The link to this particular project is as follows:

How do you feel about driving?

I can drive, I am good at driving, I enjoy driving.

I can drive, I am good at driving, I do not enjoy driving.

I can drive, I am bad at driving, I enjoy driving.

I can drive, I am bad at driving, I do not enjoy driving.

I haven't learned to drive, I think I would enjoy driving.

I haven't learned to drive, I do not think I would enjoy driving.

I can't drive anymore, I was good at it, I enjoyed driving.

I can't drive anymore, I was good at it, I didn't enjoy it.

I can't drive anymore, I was bad at it, I enjoyed it.

I can't drive anymore, I was bad at it, I didn't enjoy it.

Remaining time: 13 hours 19 minutes

I wish more fantasy settings had the stuff discworld does. I don't mean the big themes, although I do wish more books had those too. I mean fantasy settings where there are newspapers, birth control, pizza, vibrators, crisps, unions, dog biscuits, fan clubs... just normal stuff that turns up when you have a lot of people in one place. A lot of fantasy seems to take the view that you won't have any of this stuff if you've got magic, but why wouldn't you? Some fantasy settings don't even have pencils. And what about toilet paper? Food that isn't enormous, elaborate feasts? Literacy rates? Pop culture? It feels like Ankh-Morpork in particular is just ticking over as usual when we're not looking and that it really does have a million people in it. And yet sometimes other fantasy just... doesn't bother with any of this stuff at all.

Yes, this! Ancient Rome had take out. Ancient Sumerians had complaint letters about folks who shorted them on substandard copper. People wrote stupid graffiti on the walls of Pompeii. There were children who doodled dogs in the edges of their books as far back as children had books. The monks illuminated manuscripts had cat paw prints where they got into the ink. People have been people for all of history and sure, there are grand sweeping empires, but inside the empires are little stories about the actor who messed up his line in Orestes.

Discworld Heritage Post

This kind of detail does so much to help a world feel real and large.

In real-world cities, there are fifty people on the bus with you. You pass hundreds of people on the sidewalk. You blow your nose, buy batteries, step around puddles, are late for work, check the mailbox, wiggle your door key a little to the left on humid days, decide whether today is cold enough for your winter coat, and so on. Real life has lots of people and lots of mundanity in it even when you are doing big important things. Even when you are living in big important times! And while stubbed toes aren't always part of interesting stories, a world that isn't large and real enough to hold stubbed toes is less interesting.

Somebody left a comment on my AO3 that reminded me that in spite of this being one of the coolest things that’s ever happened to me, I actually never made a post about it??? Absolutely wild.

Anyway I wrote a monologue about an autistic Julian Bashir making peace with his fractured identity and the things that were taken from him. And then Sid just went ahead and… performed it. 

This man has next to no social media presence so people outside of the social club he has might not be aware, but he is one of the gentlest and kindest people to his fans. He is SO interested in the interpretations we bring to the table, and genuinely wants to listen to and amplify all these different perspectives that get brought to the table (I am also just like. Particularly touched by his support of his trans fans but that’s another post for another time). 

My heart is so full every time I look back on this because all I really did was ask: could Julian Bashir be autistic? And to get this level of care and thoughtfulness and warmth put into my words as a response? I’m holding this next to my heart forever.

(Also for those who might like to read along, I have a copy of the script on my AO3)

I haven’t watched DS9 and had to look up backstory, but this is an exceptional monologue.

[captain-athos]

The fact that you did that without having seen the show blows my mind, thank you???? aaaa
