my fellow trans people: all of the answers are in the river. you just need to go to the river and everything will make sense. a lake or ocean are fine substitutions. find the water and go to it. bring your friends. go alone. have a beer.

Still thinking about Whipping Girl... here's a passage that's been banging around in my head

For me, the question of why I am transsexual has always been a source of shame and self-loathing... Like most people, I assumed that it was better to be cissexual. Eventually I realized that dwelling on "why" was a pointless endeavor--the fact is that I am transsexual and I exist, and there is no legitimate reason why I should feel inferior to a cissexual because of that.

The question, "Why do transsexuals exist?" is not a matter of pure curiosity, but rather an act of nonacceptance, as it invariably occurs in the absence of asking the reciprocal question: "Why do cissexuals exist?" The unceasing search to uncover the cause of transsexuality is designed to keep the transsexual gender identities in a perpetually questionable state, thereby ensuring cissexual gender identities continue to be unquestionable

just read this great article that really challenged some of my own beliefs about transgender identity and the fight for trans rights.

Jules Gill-Peterson, in a July article responding to the Skrmetti ruling, asks us to "Reject Transgender Liberalism" and instead focus our legal attention onto the material right of all people to change their sex.

Skrmetti has made painfully clear two things I have long argued, albeit for very different reasons: First, that the legal protection of transition cannot successfully be derived from medical expertise. Nor can it derive from the political invention of “transgender status,” which is vulnerable to judicial critique not just from conservatives but for its flagrant class antagonisms. Instead of clinging to a losing strategy, we must find the courage to engage the law on its own terms. We should not keep pressing for liberal transgender rights; we should wield the historical foundation of what Andrea Long Chu wisely calls “the right to change sex.” Far from something new, transition is a practice older than the United States, and people who transitioned have not been marginal to or excluded from the country’s legal and political institutions. In fact, the practice of transitioning sex shaped the constitutional guarantee of equal protection at issue in Skrmetti and other transgender cases.

She then draws upon the incredible story of Frances Thompson, a Black woman, who's 1866 testimony helped push Congress to ratify the 14th amendment. Gill-Peterson rightly points out that Thompson's testimony establishes a legal precedent for the right to change one's sex, because Thompson herself had transitioned sex, and her direct assertion of her inalienable rights as a woman guarantees the right to change sex in the 14th amendment itself.

I'm posting screenshots of the original article below, if anyone is interested. I really recommend reading it.

if I made a movie about Joan of Arc id hire the hairiest fattest buffest covered-in-tattoos trans man to play Joan and it would be like Baz Lurmans R+J except about west coast cholos, and Joan would have a really sick la virgen neck tat , and all his hynas would be weeping their eyeliner off when he's on the stake

anyone know how to look like a bottom while wearing a strap? I feel like we tend to think of straps as symbols of topping. but what if I just want to stay strapped up while im getting fucked? How do I send a nude that says, “imagine my cock flopping around while you fuck me hard” ?
