northernlion was reading out a sweet note his daughter wrote him in kindergarten that said "i know my dad loves me because he's my favorite person and i'm his favorite person" and someone commented "circular reasoning"

As a transsexual woman 👩 who has had multiple experiences ‼️ I have found 🔎 that the biggest block of cheese 🧀 is usually the one ☝️ that has the largest size 📈

the countermeasure to dehumanisation is not sexualisation. the countermeasure is to treat the other person with respect and dignity actually.

i don't care if you wanna fuck fat people or hairy people or trans people or the elderly or disabled people or whatever. can you treat them like human beings

Race isn’t mentioned in this post, but I’m sure it applies regardless. Take the screenshot in context to both that and the groups mentioned above.

So I follow N. D. Stevenson (comics writer and animator, most famous for Nimona and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) and his husband Lee Ostertag (also a comics writer and animator) on Instagram. When I started following them, they were both publicly presenting as women, and then a few years ago N. D. came out as transmasc nonbinary, and then earlier this year Lee also came out as transmasc. Anyway this is all setup to say that Lee had the chance to make the funniest post of all time and he took it:

Absolutely iconic.

I want to throw in that part of the context behind this meme was N.D. talking about how he sometimes gets hatemail for marrying a man as a former lesbian, and how many people seem to think he divorced his wife.

I have not managed to find anyone who thinks that in the wild, but it is so damn funny.

"I really would not like to be treated like my body makes me dangerous" OK but sorry, transphobia aside, that is just part of being a human. Your hands can strangle someone. Your fists can punch. Your legs can stomp hard enough to crack bone. The fact that you are presumably an adult means that you could, theoretically pose a sexual danger to any child or sufficiently disabled person or elder. There is no world in which you do not have to earn people's trust to be in vulnerable situations with them. That is a fact of fucking life. Why are you always going on about how you don't want to prove yourself? Are people wary of you? Probably the reason people are wary of you is that you seem to expect to access other people's vulnerability without doing the *necessary* work to prove you are a safe person who can hold boundaries. Be a safe adult, I believe in you.

me when I don't know what it's like to be part of a marginalized group that has been heavily fearmongered about in mass media

mousidy

it's like... yeah. I know. I hold a capacity for harm. there are many people around the world who put in the hours 24/7 to remind trans women of this, lol. the hard part isn't learning that

the hard part is opening up, relaxing, being tender and letting tenderness come to you

the hard part is noting the ways that the rhetoric that binds you finds its way even into the beliefs of those close to you, and knowing that there is a wall between you that means you will always be a loaded gun to them

the hard part is noticing how these walls don't exist between yourself and other trans women, because the footing is equal. it's wondering whether this ease of trust and closeness with other trans women is how it feels all the time for other people. it's wondering what it's like on the other side, where you don't only ever feel truly safe among people from 0.5% of the world population

to be privileged is to take for granted how often you mingle with people with whom you are on equal footing, because nobody's fearmongering about you and nobody's fearmongering about them. you do not get contemptuous glances from strangers. to be privileged is to think that one can simply pull themselves up by their bootstraps and no longer be bound by the rhetoric that makes their kind monsters

mousidy

I have been abused all my life by people who would not conceptualize their own capacity to harm, and none of them have been trans women

mousidy

to be clear, I have been mistreated by trans women. comes with the territory of us being human

the distinction, though, is that the trans women I have been treated poorly by have been deeply, obsessively concerned with their capacity to harm, to a degree that is not healthy

they have been women who were taught they were dangerous, and who don't know how to hold someone gently without feeling like they are digging their claws through their loved one's skin

they have been women who apologize routinely, for everything, because everything they ever do feels like an act of violence to them

this kind of obsession with your own capacity to harm does not let you see your loved ones clearly. it does not let you develop healthy relationships. it can drive you to break your loved ones' hearts as you push them away so that you can't hurt them anymore. it's an obsession that obscures the truth of the love you receive, that isolates, that kills

I observe degrees of this in myself and in virtually every trans woman I meet, and I've developed the phrase "you apologize for the sun shining" to respond to women who apologize for wanting to exist around me, for wanting to be known, for wanting to be seen and heard and loved and understood and treated like humans

these women do not need to be told what they have already been told every minute of their lives. they need to be told that they can love and be loved, that their mere touch is not poison, that they can take a deep breath
