I need to stop replying to “how do you make friends in your 30s?” threads because all my answers boil down to “you have to want to know people instead of have friends” and I don’t think people wanna hear that

[eroscestlavie]

It’s like. People can tell if you don’t really like or connect with them. If you aren’t truly enamored with someone you will have a hard time coming up with activities to do together to deepen the friendship. Because you don’t really like that person that much.

worth reading the entire thing. has some really good thoughts on why transitioning is worth it even in this day and age + when you're older, and is also genuinely wonderful

Judith Butler and J Halberstam are exploring Second-Life together

[pbkdf2]

Judith Butler: My character has one angel wing, and one devil wing, and heterochromatic eyes.

Judith Butler: This is because it express the fundamental contradictions of an articulated queer identity.

Judith Butler: To be positioned as progressive ascension and moral degeneracy depending on what spaces a body moves through.

Judith Butler: While also remaining both perpetually defined and undefinable.

Judith Butler: The queer body, much like my fallen angel avatar, is one that is constantly at odds with it’s own assigned values.

J Halberstam: how do I make my taurs muscles bigger

Really interesting to me that "ageist" has transitioned in usage away from a description for the discrimination older people face in our youth-obsessed society and toward an insult for anyone who implies that you should engage with the world as an adult and not coddle yourself in nostalgia.

My mom has to dye her hair to go on the job hunt because no one will hire a woman with grey hair but I'm sure that's much less culturally important than someone implying that only engaging with media meant for 8-year-olds might be stunting your skills at media analysis.

your twenties are not "late" to start hrt. that is a normal time to start hrt. your thirties are also a normal time to start hrt. your seventies are pretty late to start hrt, but not too late. like, statistically, that's at the end of the curve. but if you are not dead, it is not too late for hrt.

Hey, if you’re disabled (of any kind), Mad/Insane, or “undiagnosed but there’s definitely something happening”, please come read this.

Especially if you’re a disabled transfemme. I know that as of writing, we’ve had a shitty couple days.

And if y’all can share it otherwise, whether that’s reblogging this or sending the link to the disabled/mad/whatever we are people in your life, I’d really appreciate it.

i love you disbled trans girl. it is okay to ask for help. your friends DO want to help you. you are worth loving.

[digitalcockroach]

love the trans women in your online, irl, and global community right now, today, before she's humiliated, ostracized, and exiled, before anyone ever raises a hand against her, before any words can break her down, love the trans women in your life out loud and protect her, defend her, speak up for her, but before it all love her and be her friend, her family, her community

every trans woman deserves safety, security, and happiness and the least we can do is everything in our power to make it happen

[infestuous]

love your puppygirl

standing by the window peering through the blinds scratching my stubble as I malevolently assign pronouns to innocent people walking by. wear all the pastel athleisure in the world, long nailed boba drinker, you're a they/them now. that youth lazily wheeling down the hill on a mountain bike would look most fetching in the hall of chie/chier. and you, brickie in cement crusted overalls, loudly gargling along to top ten radio, yes that's right, yes, you too shall succumb to the authority of my queer gaze. through the power vested in me by an arcane and mysterious misunderstanding of death of the author, I call upon the interpretability of all things by the reconstitutive agency of the beholder and I forcefem you! yes, I name you she/her! woman! lady of grout and levels! mistress of the white trades van! which is kind of cute on you actually now that I think about it, maybe this one wasn't all me. the universe works in mysterious ways.
