"why can't they just be friends?" not in the homophobic sense, but in the "in your need to center romance in everything you are missing the whole point of the media in question" sense

Shout out to my mom who explains my transition as "Having a daughterpillar turn into a Boyterfly". It doesn't erase the fact I was an adorable little girl, and also affirms my gender now. I love my mother.

I think a lot of transmisogyny stems from this idea that people are really scared to see a dick. The reason bathrooms and locker rooms and hot springs keep being flash points is because these are all places where if a trans woman is using them, it's possible you might see her dick. A lot of transmisogynistic humor revolves around being traumatized because the subject saw a woman with a penis. And look, to a certain extent I sympathize. I'm not a fan of dick; I dont want this thing either. But if you want to be an ally to trans women, I think a big important step you can take personally is to examine your own reaction to the scenarios I described above, and recognize that a dick is just a body part a girl has sometimes. Seeing it as inherently sexual and/or traumatizing is a major wedge conservatives use to justify their rhetoric

One of my friends gets really happy whenever I don’t use my cane. She never fails to point it out and say things like, “oh you must be on your way to getting better!”

And like, I get it- she doesn’t like to see me struggling or in pain. But it hurts to have to tell her “no, this is just a good day” and see her face fall the next time I do use it.

A couple weeks ago after another comment, I told her that I was in a lot of pain and was actually struggling really hard to be there. I should’ve been using my cane, I told her, but I wasn’t, because I was tired of how people were treating me when I do.

I prefer being in unecessary pain to getting stared at. I prefer being in unecessary pain to getting dirty looks when I walk down the street. I prefer being in unecessary pain to the pitying comments people make or the pleas for me to just pray more. I prefer being in unecessary pain to feeling like a freak. I prefer being in unecessary pain to the awful anxiety I get from using my cane in public.

I don’t think she expected that answer. So hopefully this is a reminder to you too, that just because someone with an invisible disability outwardly is not using their accommodations or their mobility aids, or just because someone does not appear to be in pain, that doesn’t mean that they’re not actually suffering. It can, and often does, mean that we have chosen to suffer in silence instead of being othered and facing backlash from those around us.

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

sexism in medicine kills people. racism in medicine kills people. fatphobia in medicine kills people. queerphobia in medicine kills people. classism in medicine kills people. ableism in medicine kills people.

do not downplay people’s fears about being mistreated because they are a part of a marginalised group. it is a matter of life and death and you should be angry about it.

I was feeling agitated and artblocked yesterday so I decided to give my brain a rest by watching TV and then the next thing I knew these were in front of me
