CHICAGO AREA TRANS COMMUNITY CASSIE BEA IS MISSING

»> PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST IF YOU CAN ««

cassie bea has been staying for the last week with me, mayazimmerman and policedronecrashesintopolice at our apartment in avondale. she disappeared around 6:30pm 12/24/2014. she may have initially been heading for the taco bell on belmont and milwaukee but she is definitely not there now.

she is about 6’1, has short hair and glasses. she’s probably wearing jeans and hiking boots with a blue/green jacket over a light-colored sweater.

i know it’s only been a couple hours but cassie has been going thru some really rough shit lately. she has been in and out of the hospital several times in the last month for paranoia and bad depression. she is generally very friendly but she may be a bit paranoid/confused about where she is. our concern is not that she ran off without telling us but that she may be unable to find her way back / confused about how to get home.

her purse with her identification, bus card, etc. is still in the apartment. we think she still has her phone but we found a sim card on the floor shortly after she left. our #1 concern is that she may be picked up by the cops, esp since she doesn’t have her ID and may not have the contact info of anyone in the house she’s been staying in. 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS

i know it’s xmas eve and i know it’s late but cassie is a wonderful, compassionate young woman and all we love her dearly. if you see her please contact me either thru tumblr (insectaffection.tumblr.com)  or facebook (https://www.facebook.com/insect.affection).

and let her know penny is worried about her and loves her.

we had one solid lead that put her near Kilbourne park about an hour ago… … 10:30 PM Chicago time. I don’t normally ask for multiple reblogs but I updated some of the information above.

if any one has a car in the Chicago area and can’t sleep on this Christmas Eve and wanted to help me search for missing friend, I’d really appreciate it.

Message me for my contact info

CASSIE BEA IS STILL MISSING

just got back in from searching logan sq / humboldt park and points north / west. stopped in restaurants and gas stations with her pic but no luck. searched parks / churches / etc. i’ i’m going to be calling emergency rooms again and then getting a quick catnap before going to file the missing person report at around 8pm.

after that i have a friend meeting up with us around 11pm for another drive-around. still trying to decide where to look at this point.

if cassie still hasn’t been found by tomorrow, we’ll be making flyers, i guess. anyone with access to a copier, please be in touch.

let's be clear...

What we are seeing right now in queer space and theory is not a proliferation of gendered positionalities or possibilities, it is a proliferation of words. Some of them are useful, but most do nothing but introduce new ways to justify and obscure violence against womyn, particularly trans womyn.

For us, there is no functional line between a “femme lad/man,” a “[pro]feminist man,” a “transmasculine tenderbutch,” a “liberated trans queer,” or an “agender trans*man” if all of them function in our lives in ways that are roughly indistinguishable from man classic. We’re getting beaten, raped, talked over, used, devalued, and otherwise exploited no matter how the man doing it defines himself. In fact, the only point at which his identity becomes pertinent is when he starts using it as a kind of discursive alchemy to transform legitimate analysis of his behavior into oppressive “denial of identity.” Suddenly, speaking truth about patterns in the violence you face is morally on par with calling a trans womyn a man (and honestly, much worse; they don’t actually give a shit about trans womyn except to the extent that they can tokenize us and commandeer our narratives and experiences).

There is a difference between patriarchy being authentically subverted and patriarchy being adapted and reproduced for a postmodern audience. We would all do well to learn it.

Woman ≠ Feminine: Those Misogynist Attacks on Women's Gender Identity

A genderqueer messaged to suggested that I use “trans feminine” instead of “trans women” when talking about trans women, who may or may not be feminine.

"Instead of saying trans women… It might help to say trans feminine people…" they wrote. "A lot of perceived trans women are stepping away from the gender binary system and identifying as trans feminine."

Only, I don’t think their advice is really very helpful to me at all. Being feminine and being a woman are not synonymous. Plus I’m not sure how feminine – as in, feminine-masculine – is any less binary than woman.

My central interest is women. There is an important distinction for me between woman (gender identity) and feminine (gender expression/role). While I’m a femme dyke, my gender identity as a woman is primary. I’m femme by choice, but my womanhood is a core part of who I am and how I experience the world.

Also, I’m not trans feminine. Feminine isn’t what makes me trans. Nor do I have affiliation with trans feminine people like I do with trans women. The issues I experience around the attacks on my womanhood are not like the issues I experience around my being feminine.

The mere suggestion that I disregard my own gender identity and my larger interest in women generally for a feminine locus is misogynist. It is anti-women, pure and simple. It’s also a pernicious form or gender policing. This is not the first time a self-important genderqueer person has felt entitled to tell me what my gender identity should be.

I have a serious problem with the misogynist attacks on women from those who act like they are doing us all a big favor by trying to eliminate women. I’m a woman and proud. If you have a problem with the gender identity of women, then we aren’t going to get along.

[niteowljoe]

Don’t remember where I found these, but whoever made them is a hero.

[princessgorgon-deactivated20160]

I’m in a spot! my prescription fill was declined and I need to go in for a doctor visit to renew them. which means a few weeks of waiting for one, and somehow affording a couple hundred dollars to cover it, and I’m unemployed.

I’m out of HRT and have no more and I’m worried...

Day 22

I keep having dreams about smoking, they’ve been happening a lot this week. They’re becoming more vivid and almost… erotic, like my mind is romanticising all of the parts of smoking that I miss. The flick of a lighter, the drag, the puff, the slow exhale. I’m becoming fixated on these moments that are playing over and over while I sleep.

Everything is so stressful right now, I can’t believe I’m trying to quit.
