also this is more just me whinging rather than making a real point but another annoying (but somewhat more understandable) thing im hating about all the more mainstream transfem headcanons is the tendency to give a character a "female version" of their birth name as if that isn't the most played stereotypical trope with trans characters. like i get that you want it to be legible to people who don't know about the headcanon, but not every character fits the "June Egbert" name scheme (and even that one actually has an in-universe canonical origin for fucks sake) and at a certain point i think we have to stop prioritising legibility to cis people in trans art, even fanart

so what if we took this simple appealing logo that not only uses our iconic map pin icon, but utilizes our brand colors in a pattern evocative of roads on a map and replaced it with the late 2000s mac rainbow pinwheel after an incident involving a hole punch

Hi, Im Kasper and My aunt Cryssy is preparing for a medica… Kasper May needs your support for Support Cryssy's Journey to St

Yesterday was honestly one of the most heartbreaking and stressful setbacks I’ve experienced in a very long time. Due to a mistake with the original GoFundMe setup, all donations were automatically refunded and the fundraiser was essentially reset. I lost nearly $1800 dollars towards my $5000 GoFundMe. I know that caused confusion and frustration, and I’m deeply sorry for the chaos surrounding it all.

The good news is that Kevin has now fully taken over the GoFundMe and everything has been corrected and secured moving forward. 🖤

As many of you know, this fundraiser is for my upcoming surgery and the recovery process that comes with it. Between travel, temporary housing in Chicago, medical supplies, accessibility needs, nursing care/round the clock care, and simply surviving through recovery, this support means more than I can ever properly put into words.

If you’re unable to donate, I completely understand, but sharing the GoFundMe, interacting with posts, commenting, reposting to stories, or simply helping more people see it genuinely helps more than most people realize. Visibility matters so much right now.

I know the internet can be skeptical, and I know yesterday looked messy. Truthfully? It was messy. But this situation is very real, and I’m trying my best to keep moving forward even when things feel overwhelming.

Thank you to everyone who has shown kindness, patience, encouragement, and support through all of this. I see you. I carry that with me. 🫶🏻

Just got suggested a post that had a whiff of TMRA about it so I scrolled through the blog before blocking off the cuff. And yea I was right. But also this was clearly a very newly out trans man who only a month or so ago was making lighthearted and kind posts about being trans and speaking normally about his trans sisters. but in the past couple weeks has fully fallen down the MRA rabbit hole and now all his posts are about the vicious nasty transfeminists who don’t even believe trans men experience transphobia, those heartless bitches!!!

when we call this shit a hate movement, this is why. you are actively turning baby trans men trying to find community into rabid transmisogynists. it’s the spike pit for you I fear

For people who many of are/used to be lesbians, there sure are a lot of transmascs that like to tell lesbians their problems could be solved by kissing/dating/fucking men. Like, do you not remember when homophobes would do that to you? Do you think it’s different when you say it just because you’re trans?

YOU. GET MORE ANTI-SLAVERY NOW.

storyweavingspider

Californians voted not to abolish slavery in 2024 because it’s “not economically feasible”

But also beyond that and prison abolition, unofficial (and in some cases official) slavery still exists both in the US and globally. I’ve met multiple Black people, myself included, who have been “functionally” enslaved to specific individual whites even if there wasn’t a legal contract making us their property. In my case, she not only raped me, beat me in public and private, otherwise abused me, controlled my finances so I couldn’t escape fiscally, but also literally hunted me down when I tried to escape her on foot with nothing but my clothes and would use threats of police violence to coerce me into sex and other shit with her.

It’s not just prisons. It’s not just human trafficking. It’s not just capitalism. It’s not *just* colonialism/imperialism/white supremacy. It’s all interconnected and built off the backs of systems that enable slavery and genocide NOW and people simply won’t care unless it makes them sad or affects someone they know personally.

when I first moved out to live with roommates, also transfems, I still had a lot of healing to do from my abuser, and I was in a stage where I was starting to conceive of myself as a small and harmless Victim

what this did was make me an awful roommate who could not accept accountability. I had not learned how to apologize without having the apology forcibly extracted from me by my abuser. I had not learned how to accept my shortcomings or take criticism without having them beaten over my head by my abuser

I'm very fortunate I had people in my life who loved me and would be gentle yet direct and firm with me, and who would set firm boundaries with me. I couldn't treat loved ones well if I saw them as adversaries, if I expected them to act like my abuser. I wasn't protecting myself like I thought I was, I was just being a shit roommate

suffering doesn't make you a good person. surviving abuse doesn't mean you can't commit abuse yourself. that belief is actually a great way to ensure that you continue the cycle of abuse that your abuser brought you into. to break the cycle you have to understand yourself as a whole person, neither Victim nor Abuser

a lot of those lesbian spaces full of only TME lesbians are super racist btw ask me how i know. these are ppl who are absolutely drunk on having privilege while denying its existence. when trans women are in their spaces, they get dumped on and treated like shit; in the absence of trans women, they will instead turn their aggression towards the racialized women (especially black women) in the space.

I need us all to emphasize just how deeply intermingled transmisogyny and racism (esp antiblackness!!!) are. because I promise you, scratch the average transmisogynist and a racist bleeds.

And I hope all my big girls lose all fear of taking up space. Fat women are discouraged for their existence on every level of society but we are beautiful and make the world worth living in.

🏳️‍🌈✊🏿Help your Queer Black girl with survival funds🏳️‍🌈✊🏿

Y’all, it’s been a real struggle for your Black girl. I’ve been bawling my eyes out trying to find work, especially after going through interviews and then finding out they chose someone else. It’s been heartbreaking and frustrating, but I’m still trying to keep going and find something. Im raising $2,500 in survival funds for September and October to help cover rent, which is due on the 3rd of each month, food/hygiene, phone service, and my car payment. I really don’t want to risk having my car repossessed, especially because I’ll need it to get to work once I’m employed. September is also my birthday, and honestly, I’m just hoping to make it through these next couple of months. The world feels like such a scary place right now. I’m hoping to have a job by October and get back on my feet. Once I’m in a better position, I want to give back to the community and help others who are struggling too. I’m really hoping this is the last mutual aid post I have to make.

Y’all, your Black queer girl has been bawling her eyes out and feeling so overwhelmed lately. I’m trying to raise survival funds for September and October. I truly can’t afford to lose my car. My birthday is September 14th, and I’m really hoping I can reach my goal by then.

An autistic man with a special interest in the Harry Potter series has made the decision to value the lives and dignity of his trans friends more than a book about a wizard who grows up to be a cop, leaving you with no excuse whatsoever to keep wearing that Hufflepuff scarf, sources have reported.

Jack Harrington, 38, grew up reading the popular children’s stories, and soon developed an intense fascination with the world of the books, including knowing all about the suspiciously depicted money-hungry goblins, and that one time it was revealed that slavery is commonplace and accepted in the wizarding world.

In spite of this, however, Harrington has recently worked to redirect his interest towards media created by someone less troublingly focused on his friends’ genitalia.

“It was hard to do,” Harrington said. “I really love collecting things, and there’s so much merchandise to collect! But once I realised that it’s possible to collect things in a way that doesn’t make it harder for my mates to go for a piss when out and about, it really was a no-brainer.”

At the time of publication, Harrington was marvelling at the sheer amount of fiction available in the world that doesn’t actively contribute to material harm, and questioning whether you specifically really need that copy of Hogwarts Legacy for your PS5.
