You: transgender

Me, an intellectual: cisn’t

[elierlick]

I’m tired of seeing transgender identity represented as a cis man looking in the mirror and seeing a cis woman. Depicting a trans woman as a “woman in a man’s body” or trans man as a “man in a woman’s body” is fundamentally anti-trans and just wrong for most of our experiences. I am a woman. Therefore I have a woman’s body. This is true regardless of how I appear or what my hormonal, genetic, and bodily makeup may be. 

As a trans woman, I’m forced into femininity through assumptions about my desires, ignoring that I also enjoy clothes designed for men. I spent years gaining the confidence to wear clothes designated for men again after being repeatedly told I couldn’t be trans if I had such a desire. 

There is a solution to this issue of representation. We can create more art describing trans people being forced into conforming to gender roles, trans people of color resisting white standards of trans identity, or trans people opposing the idea that we can’t exist in everyday life. I want to see trans art guided by and featuring trans people. I want to represent me.

Separation of church and state.  Freedom of religion includes freedom from religion.

I saw a post saying that trans people should remember that “ You may be the first trans person someone has met! Be a good ambassador!!!”

I am not an ambassador. I did not agree to, nor do I want, that position. I am not anyone’s token trans. I am not the spokesperson for all trans people everywhere. I am an individual, and I am just trying to live my life.

Don’t put that shit on people.

Synchronized catting

[bettsplendens]

This is called mirroring. Cats do this with each other (and humans!) as a way of being social.

In the past few days

Obama has been sent a mail bomb

The Clintons have been sent a mail bomb

George Soros has been sent a mail bomb

Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been sent a mail bomb

Nancy Pelosi was confronted by a mob

CNN has to evacuate due to bomb threats

Trump declares himself a nationalist

I have no words to describe the disgust and fear of what has been happening lately. The parallels between what is happening today and what has happened in the past when a country turns to fascism and dictatorship makes my blood run cold. If this continues, the US will collapse upon itself

[bonzai-bunny]

just to update, maxine waters and eric holder were also sent similar packages and the bomb at CNN was live. smh.
