Transcript:

Y'all better quiet down! I've been trying to get up here all day for your gay brothers and your gay sisters in jail that write me every motherfucking week and ask for your help! And you all don't do a goddamn thing for them! And they write STAR, not the woman's group! They do not write women, they do not write men, they write to STAR! Because we're trying to do something for them! But you all tell me to go and hide my tail between my legs! I will not put up with this shit! I have been beaten, I have had my nose broken, I have been thrown in jail, I have lost my job, I have lost my apartment for gay liberation, and you all treat me this way?! What the fuck's wrong with you all?! Think about that! I believe in the gay power, I believe in us getting our rights, or else I would not be out there fighting for our rights, that's all I wanted to say to you people. Come and see people at STAR House on Twelfth Street, the people that are trying to do something for all of us, and not men and women that belong to our white middle class club! And that's what you all belong to! Revolution now! Gay power! Know the gay power!

You weren’t awarded butch at the end of a great queer race. You cannot hang it in your living room or shine it on your mantle. You dug it up from the ground. You were on your knees, scraping at the soil with your short nails and your bloody hands. You found ‘butch’ in your own bones and you sucked out the marrow until your tongue knew the word by heart. And there are other names and other terms that were just as hard to find as yours, and you’re not to ever assume that the hole you made in the ground was deeper than anyone else’s. You had best promise me that right now.

excerpt from Butch Please: A Letter to Baby Butches

the weather is incredible today. thank you trans women

[applepikmin]

We the trans women sent a raincloud your way oopsie

[jokeboy-deactivated20260221]

the rain is going to be so needed after all this sun. thank you trans women

[jupiter-suggestion]

i want to be inconvenienced by you. i want to wait for you, i want to hold your things while you do something else, i want to make adjustments to my plans to make space for you. someone at your side who takes up no space and has no needs of their own is not a person, but a shadow. i don't want a shadow, i want you. i want my life to be altered by your presence in it. please, inconvenience me.

ID: Writing that reads: When making your butch-buddy film, By Hook or by Crook, you, and your cowriter, Silas Howard, decided that the butch characters would call each other “he” and “him,” but in the outer world of grocery stores and authority figures, people would call them “she” and “her.” The point wasn’t that if the outer world were schooled appropriately re: the characters’ preferred pronouns, everything would be right as rain. Because if outsiders called the characters “he,” it would be a different kind of he. Words change depending on who speaks them; there is no cure. End ID

obsessed with how often women describe falling in love with other women as a quieting, a moment of stillness and calm where before there was noise.

i don't usually post pics of me and my gal on here bc some folks r truly evil racists and transphobes who don't go outside but this pic of us drunk at a wedding is like the best ever 😭

the gays win again

[jokeboy-deactivated20260221]

I love trans girls for lots of reasons but I think the biggest is that growing up as a girl for me was SO hard. horrible. nightmare. but they make it look happy and enjoyable... they redefine what womanhood is to me from something horrible to something beautiful... very hard to explain... me being a boy is awesome... and seeing trans people love womanhood in a way I couldn't is even better. thank u girls

[sarahtheferret]

I look at my mom and ask “what is womanhood?” she shrugs and says “idk, suffering?”  I look at my wife to ask the same question, and she is twirling in place to make her skirt flare out.

[jokeboy-deactivated20260221]

I love her
