I accidentally stumbled upon this elderly gay man’s website last night, it’s been active since the 90s and has pages talking about his personal life as a gay cowboy it’s super interesting! he has webcams running on it that refresh every minute or so and pages about his experiences with HIV and cancer - he also has a massive archive of gay magazine scans (18+) from the 70s up to the 90s!

a sweet evening painting of a gay couple. dude on the right is going through the hardest thing i’ve ever been through: top surgery recovery. having support is key! set in toronto to celebrate the improvements in trans health care & access to it in recent years. on the technical side my new rule is “paint all the figures before your coffee cools” so, fast

feeling that preemptive grief tonight, comes with knowing the deep grieving that comes with being transgender, and seeing dead after dead after dead and knowing you’ll become another in this god awful climate, sooner rather than later

Everyone on twitter is arguing against the terfs demonizing phalloplasty and top surgery by saying the scars fade and the flesh regrows over time, but has anyone considered that scars are cool and having huge, discolored, incredibly noticeable scars is based

[redlightofdawn]

scarification did not emerge as a beautifying & spiritual practice across the most varied human cultures for you clowns to go "scars are yucky", you absolute fools

People online: Being trans is commonly understood as identifying as something other than what you were assigned at birth, but if you dare acknowledge or - beware - even feel in any way connected to what you were assigned once (and maybe even have identified as for some time) then you're not performing good enough at being trans™. There are days were I feel ashamed for having been assigned something other than what I am or identify as now - which breaks down to being trans - because of this sort of thinking. People will bend backwards to legimitize their transphobia.

More or less :/ and it's ridiculous to me. Why should anyone transgender be expected to shed their past like it's a shameful thing? Why can't we instead focus on the rich color and diversity it gives us, that we all bring to the table?

I get asks that say I can't kumbaya my way out of oppression and maybe I can't. But I'd rather go down holding hands with fellow weirdos than know I got my rights by sacrificing someone else.

We're all crabs in a bucket. Why don't we start pinching the hands that put us there?

One of my favorite Kate Bornstein quotes is from Ch 12 of Gender Outlaw (1994):

…the joy of history lies in its telling and in its relevance to current times and relationships. Transgendered people, particularly post-operative transsexuals, are not allowed any history beyond our current gender—we’re not supposed to reveal our transgendered status or our other-gendered past. Denied the opportunity to speak our stories, transsexuals are denied the joy of our histories. … Discouraged from examining our past, transgendered people are discouraged from growth.

| hadn’t just believed that passing would hide me. | hoped that it would allow me to express the part of myself that didn’t seem to be woman. | didn’t get to explore being a he-she, though. | simply became a he—a man without a past.

“I have lost more battles than I care to count. I could write a volume on the art of retreat. This is not an easy life. It is a struggle to survive. It is a fight. But I have survived. It's a fight that I am winning.”

— Journal of a Transsexual by Leslie Feinberg

[pastperfectcontinuous]

bell hooks mentioned going through a time in her life where she was severely depressed and suicidal and how the only way she got through it was through changing her environment: She surrounded her home with buddhas of all colors, Audre Lorde’s A Litany for Survival facing her as she wakes up, and filling the space she saw everyday with reinforcing objects and meaningful books. She asks herself each day, “What are you going to do today to resist domination?” I also really liked it when she said that in order to move from pain to power, it is crucial to engage in “an active rewriting of our lives.”
