Okay, confirming now, I am going to be moving to a new hockeyblr that is less affiliated with the teams I used to follow. Probably just Seattle because hometown, Tampa because live here, and individual players. I won't delete this account, but I will be putting in on an email that I likely will never write the password for. Hasta la vista

I should start a new hockey blog because I am a different worse person now

you know, I think a lot of problems people face would be solved if they were involved in a healthy community. so many people don’t have strong friends (or any at all), aren’t around multi generations (there is so much value in helping children grow and getting wisdom from elders), don’t have a support system of likeminded individuals, etc etc and you’re just out here basically alone struggling to fend for yourself without the protection and ability to rest on your community. no big families, no religious community, no nothing.

it’s crazy that you can live surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of people and yet be so disconnected from them all. to not know your neighbors names, to go out every day and not see the same face twice unless they work at the grocery store you shop. community is vital to humans. integral! join a club or two or three. meet people, befriend them, embrace the social side of your genetic makeup that has gone ignored for so long, much to the dwindling of your well-being. and when I say community, I mean community. not just having a few friends but like a community. we are not meant to be alone like this.

“God is good I will trust him” and “I know he likes peanut butter” gave me whiplash.

more butches written like male protags in the good way. we won't have gender equality till we have fucked up women with a heart full of love and an interminable sadness around their eyes who wander the world with a sword, perhaps a gun, breaking hearts, taking names, and changing lives wherever they go

ive worn heart shaped glasses for almost 4 years and they are just like my Thing and i love them so much and so often people will say shit like Oh Id Love To Wear Something Like That But I Could Never Pull It Off and like... babe no one can theyre heart shaped glasses u dont wear them to look flattering or stylish or whatever u wear them to make ur soul happy

[sarpedon]

stop worrying about whether u look Nice and start worrying about whether u look like You

[sarpedon]

i didnt articulate it well so i just wanna clarify. the point of this post was not "fuck the haters wear what you want" it was "fuck the idea that clothes and accessories exist to make you look good they should exist to make you happy"

as a person who is both trans and intersex, it is incredibly heartbreaking and enraging to see the way transphobic legislation harms both my communities. The bill that just got passed in the house in Idaho, HB 675, specifically has an exception that states that genital mutilation needs to continue to be allowed for intersex children. It makes me fucking furious because these types of bills that ban gender affirming care for trans youth also explictly promote nonconsensual treatment and surgery for intersex youth. It is fucking despicable how much they hate both of us and how willing they are to ignore our bodily autonomy. 

All the right wing arguments about how lifesaving transition is “mutilation” and “sterilizing kids?” In the United States, the people that are actually getting targeted with genital mutilation and nonconsensual hormones are intersex kids, not trans kids. And right wing governments promote and encourage this when it comes to intersex kids. 

As someone who has actually, legitmately dealt with being forced onto HRT (I’m a trans intersex guy who was forced onto estrogen,) it makes me fucking sick to see conservatives using my actual trauma, my pain, to deny trans youth the lifesaving healthcare that they need. They have no right to talk about genital mutilation and nonconsensual HRT while they’re pushing policies that work to eradicate both trans and intersex youth. 

And on a smaller scale, I have to admit it does pain me a bit when I see my trans siblings arguing against these bills by saying stuff like “No one has ever gotten forced onto HRT” or “no one is performing surgery on kids.” It’s true that this is not what’s happening for trans kids, considering how hard it is for trans youth to access any care, but I promise you that this is routinely happening to intersex kids. And it is vital that more people are aware about it because the text of these bills affect us both–both trans and intersex youth are under attack and have been for a long fucking time. Erasing the trauma that intersex youth are going through does not help either of us win liberation. 

As you’re fighting for trans rights, please be aware of how this directly targets intersex youth as well and include intersex people in your activism. Solidarity is so, so crucial.
