Clips from the Oklahoma House floor concerning anti-trans legislation

soupboyfri3nd

Okay yall, I need you to listen up. Maureen Turner is our only trans voice in the Oklahoma house, and they have recently been censured for “harboring a fugitive” (letting the partner of a victim of police brutality come down from a panic attack in their office.) it’s thinly veiled bullshit to keep them from fighting the anti trans legislation happening right now.

They’re also the first Muslim representatives in the state, and are constantly receiving threats to their safety from hate mail.

If you can, please donate to their campaign. If you can’t, consider sending them a letter of support. Gods know they could use some positive mail.

Mauree Turner

Seriously, Oklahoma trans folks are going through a lot right now. Our access to healthcare and even our right to visibly exist in public is going to be taken away from us the moment session ends in May, if not sooner. My partner and I are one of many families that are preparing to flee. And Rep Turner is one of the only people fighting for us. So please, if you can, show trans Oklahomans some support but uplifting our only voice in the house.

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.
