@otherliz
i guess i might as well make & pin an introductory post.
howdy! i'm Liz, a 20-year old trans woman just trying my best. i probably ought not to have a blog.
the vast majority of my interests/hobbies lie in computer science & live theatre, and in fact the former is my college major.
most of what you'll see me posting here is other people's posts i find interesting and/or funny, and whatever nonsense pops into my own head.
fun facts:
you ever notice how the verb despair is only ever used in the negative?
"forgot your keys? don't despair! introducing Lockpick!"
(not to be confused with the noun despair: "the events of the day caused Liz great despair.")
it's weird, and we need to fix it. join me.
i think about how being a trans woman means subjecting yourself to endless suffering. stares in public, confrontations with strangers, harassment online. at best it's a cavalcade of freaks in the comments of all your posts trying to piss you off, at worst it's doxxing and long-term "lolcowing" on sites like kiwifarms.
i think about how in spite of this most trans women try to be exceptionally kind and compassionate. many of them do this so as not to turn away allies, of course. people are predisposed to abandon or find reason to hate us, so we must always be on our best behavior, kinder than anyone could be expected to be, damn near saintly. but still, they endure.
most trans women i know have been cast out from somewhere. lost social groups, in person or online, usually both. most trans women i know have been abused, starting with their parents and continuing into friends, partners, and otherwise. most trans women i know have seen the worst parts of humanity on full display all the time.
but every trans woman i know is also kind. trying their hardest every day, wanting so badly to be decent, to be good, to be kind. in the face of such endless and unceasing hardship i am shocked to see, always, that my sisters keep a brave face and keep smiling, keep doing good, keep trying to be their best selves. and i am astonished. because i think there really is something magical abt that.
pick whatever option the person you follow who reblogged this post appears to NOT want you to pick. if you're seeing the original post and not a reblog, pick at random. if it's unclear which option the person whose reblog you're seeing wants you to pick, pester them until they give you a straight answer then do whatever they don't say. reblog at your own risk.
first option
second option
pick whatever option the person you're following who reblogged this post didn't pick. if they didn't say in the tags what they picked or if you're seeing the original post and not a reblog, pick at random instead.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
This opens up a lot of possibilities for what a haiku can be
i think censoring subtitles is actually ableism
It legitimately is. I was a live captioner for deaf and HOH folks and one of the first things they told us in training was that if someone said a slur, it was our job to faithfully transcribe it. It isn't the job of a captioner to censor shit; the people using the captions we created did not need to be shielded from the things being said to them, because they needed the full context in order to make their own determinations about what was happening. If someone said the n word? It was my job to type out the n word, regardless of how uncomfortable it might feel to me.
i don't know if this actually prevented faithful captions with these things (and there definitely should have at least been alternate versions with faithful captions), but the system used to get caption data to TVs in the USA in roughly the '90s & '00s could only transmit 60 characters per second (with control codes & most non-ASCII characters counting as two or three characters each, depending whether they appeared at an even or odd position), so it might have been required to simplify the captions if someone talked too fast?
Y is sort of a vowel too. sometimes. has anybody noticed this or am i owed money
W & Y are both semivowels,
but in english & french (which are the two languages i know),
Y is occasionally/exclusively used as an actual vowel,
whereas W isn't.
this imbalance must be remedied.
hey everyone "I" have something to show "you"
trans girl with totally normal self esteem: I appreciate you asking if I'm okay and giving me a band-aid after I tripped and scraped my knee, however I am almost certain that me falling was some calculated subconscious rouse to manipulate you into caring about me, therefore in order to protect from being further exposed to my secret evil nature I must insist we never speak again

What game feels like "home" to you no matter when you come back to it?
Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.
i didn't even notice!
as for the question itself, i dunno.
it's trans day of visibility, which means i can finally see!
(except i'm still colourblind, so that throws a wrench in things.)
US Book ban on LGBTQIA books
The nationwide book ban bill, HR 7661, has progressed out of committee and into the House. Here's what you need to know to take action.
At least hit the shiny repost button if you're going to do nothing else. This should not stand.
Stop the bill dead in its tracks. LGBTQIA people have a right to be represented in books.
"dwarfplanets aren't planets" isn't analogous to respecting someone's transition. It's the other thing actually
putting aside the fact that i've explained myself numerous times, and conceded (if only in part, and if half-heartedly)… what is "the other thing", here?
do you mean to suggest that rejecting the scientific definition of a term ("dwarf planet" & "planet" are separate classifications, despite one containing the other) in favour of the vibes-based one you learned in the third grade is analogous to respecting someone's transition?
that the very validity of transitioning is analogous to said vibes-based-definition-from-third-grade, and transphobia is analogous to accepting the science?
i hope not, because i feel that would imply that transphobia is part of accepting science.
