If this account disappers I got terminated by staff due to their stupid transphobic employees

(sorry for any misspellings, im stupid)

I dont know how active im going to be on here due to me being busy, and i kinda started this blog on a reckless whim cause im gonna be real im just pissed by staffs behavior recently and have been in a really "go against oppression" sorta mood so the combination of those two things prompted me to make this. I'll try my best to keep it up, but like I said, I'm a busy guy. Feel free to submit some posts or ask questions, I'll do my best to answer.

And just to be clear: i do not speak for all trans people. I am just one guy, trying to bring some awareness to this fucked up shit. if i say something out of pocket, it is my mistake. Not the entire communities, simply mine alone. Similarly, I do not speak for trans women/fems. I understand that transmisogny is a really big problem on this website, and honestly just in general, and I'm going to do my best to advocate for them as well. But of course, there is no real substitute for genuine stories of transphobia from transfems, and I will try my best to share these stories as often as I can.

Anyways, Fuck Matt, Fuck staff, and FUCK transphobes. Admin out.

edit: jeez, ok, admin back, because genuinely what the fuck. (Jan. 2025, what a year so far)

[cosmikazie]

hey remember when people said we gotta keep talking about this and then two days passed and it just went quiet. anyways

[the-trans-fella]

being trans (in either direction honestly) really makes you realize just how much misogyny is embedded in everyday life. Like it's such an ingrained part of society that it's honestly a little concerning at this point.

People in the notes providing a perfect example of divide and conquer by nitpicking the wording and order of the dominos.

The People who wanna knock down the dominoes are more then willing to reorder the dominoes to make them easier to knock down.

Everyone has at least the basic understanding of what concentration camps were like. Forcing people to get their head shaved and denying them basic amenities. Think about the similarities really understand and consider how awful this is... how dehumanizing this is.... now imagine it happening to you.

this blog hates donald trump

[pearlmarley]

Look how many people hate him. I’m pretty damn happy about that 😁😁😁😁😁😁

[aggressivetapdancing]

I’ve never reblogged something so fast

[socialistexan]

To reiterate:

Trump's transphobic Executive Orders regarding healthcare and Federal documents are currently unenforceable and are not current actionable policy of the Federal government.

Do not despair.

Do not panic.

And most importantly: do not comply in advance.

Staying alive is a radical act as a trans person in Trump's America.

reminders for today:

if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.

if you are larger/plus size: go online and purchase ella instead of plan b. plan b is less effective if you aren’t under 160 pounds.

if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.

mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.

if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.

if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.

if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.

your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.

did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.

in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

this is all i can think of at the moment, but i’ll be adding on to this as the day continues.

we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.

Disney reportedly pulls Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur episode over trans athlete story

Marvel’s animated comedy series to get way more attention now that someone’s trying to hide it

and i will continue to make fucking noise about the fact our representation is disappearing rapidly during a key moment in history!!

For those people who need to hear it, there is nothing wrong with going back into the closet for your own safety. You aren't less queer because you can't be queer publicly. You aren't less trans because you have to act like you're not trans.

If you need to start going by your old pronouns or quietly go back into the closet to be safe - you are allowed to do that. Please do that if it means you're alive.

Your safety is important.

You are important.

And if you know someone who has to do this, don't push them. Don't out them. Follow their lead. People's safety is more important that grandstanding.

If by some miracle sweet potato Hitler doesn't win come the end of the week, this won't be necessary, but should he win here are some of the first things to be aware of or do.

If you know a trans person, no you don't. Respect them as best you can in private but you know nothing in public.

Be aware that TikTok will likely be banned, find new platforms to spread information. Fuck Twitter and what ever tiktok replacement he's working on.

Learn to Garden, even in winter so you can feed yourself should prices skyrocket

Get an air purifier. The Clean Air Act is likely to be stripped of its power with the EPA deregulated, air quality is going to suffer

Should you have kids, try to supplement history/social studies education. That's the first place they will attack, if you need help ask, history teacher will help

Try and do what you can to be aware of your health before January.

Help one another. That's the best way we can move forward and make change in the future.

To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

chat I'm scared

[the-trans-fella]

scratch that I'm fucking terrified

ive had a plan for years to move out for college, somewhere a little better than where I am now, so that I could come out as transmasc and hopefully start my transition process

for so many years I've been looking forward to it, and as college only grew closer, I just got more and more excited

but now my very existance may be made illegal

i may have to spend the next four years in hiding, in fucking misery

i can't do this, I've waited so long

im fucking terrified

This is some scalding hot fucking tea and I’m here for it.

[deirdreskye]

Do high school kids these days just have trans classmates now. Like I keep seeing zoomer posts casually referring to it. Fucking wild if true.

[deirdreskye]

Here's what prompted this post btw

[emil]

yeah my younger sibling's friend group made bets about if any more of them would end up as trans lol

[pensivelyplayfulme]

[ID: tags reading “I mean yeah” and “were we. not supposed to have trans classmates (keysmash)” end ID]

I’m going to take these tags a little more seriously than they were probably intended.

We are elated y’all have trans classmates. We didn’t. We didn’t because it wasn’t an option to be trans, you probably didn’t even know the word. And if you did, your parents would have abused it out of you. And if they didn’t, the school staff would have. And if they didn’t, the other kids definitively would have.

I’m not even that old and let me tell you, my first year of high school, gay rights got discussed and that was it. Most were favorable about it and thought gays should just be allowed to do their own thing! So it wasn’t horrible on that front! But I had teachers tell me in the same breath bisexuality didn’t exist. And transness? Wasn’t even discussed. Even in my friend group of multiple bisexuals, I could count the number of times I even heard the word before I graduated high school, and it was said with apprehension. Like we were gonna get in trouble for knowing the word. Because in some families, you would have been in trouble for knowing the word “transgender”.

Trans acceptance has a long way to go, but please please please be aware that 10 years ago it was unthinkable, not because everyone hated trans people, but because a lot of people didn’t know they existed to think it.

[theredkite]

This. I went to school before section 28 was repealed. I didn’t know trans people existed and, assuming my teachers even did, it would have been illegal for them to inform me. Queer people were officially not supposed to exist. Was I the only trans kid in my school? Probably not. Were there kids who, unlike me, knew they were trans? Maybe! I know people my age who transitioned younger. It was possible, just less common than now. I don’t know what my single-sex boarding school would have done if someone had come out as trans, but I do know when a boy at my then-boyfriend’s single-sex boarding school was outed as gay his parents were called to pick him up for his own safety. And yeah, boarding schools were probably worse than normal schools but section 28 applied everywhere. 

So it is strange to think of openly-trans kids just living their lives and being a normal part of school life. (Kind of like how my grandad probably found it strange that there weren’t a load of kids with post-polio syndrome at my dad’s school.) It is, in fact, fucking amazing. Because we didn’t have that. It’s wonderful that it’s normal to gen Z, but maybe some people in the notes could stop expecting the rest of us to not marvel at how far the world has come in the span of less than a generation. Progress is good and should be celebrated.
