Next time transphobes call trans healthcare "experimental" you can show them this
penicillin was first discovered in 1928; vaginoplasty is less experimental
ibuprofen was first discovered in 1961; phalloplasty and HRT are less experimental
Adderall was first applied as an ADHD treatment in 1994; puberty blockers are less experimental
“I just need to learn how to seem more normal and they’ll leave me alone,” she thought, lacking any ability to understand why the boys they said were her peers seemed to hate her from the moment they met her
Patriarchal society teaches boys to hate girls and believe it or not being a girl involuntarily sorted into boys spaces can very often mean being seen as an acceptable (and even deserving) target for that prejudice
“Hello yes the boys you keep forcing me to be around keep attacking me on sight and the girls I find myself relating to and drifting towards have already learned that ‘boys’ are dangerous, which I don’t disagree with, but as a result they’re keeping their distance out of fear that I’m the exact sort of predator I’m trying to find refuge from, may I have some basic human kindness and connection, please?”
“That’s extremely selfish of you have you considered that maybe you deserve to be abused?”
“I had not! I’ll just internalize that now since it’s the only consistent message that anyone is sending”
I literally cannot stress enough the constant societal forces that work 24/7 to make even an unrealized trans girl think that her existence is fundamentally wrong and she deserves to be punished for it
Before I knew it was about gender I still knew that there was something ‘defective’ about me that justified the bullying and the harassment and the total lack of empathy from the people who billed themselves as figures of authority
Just got Gay Purr Ee on VHS and I rewatched it and this film fascinates me cause on the surface it's an almost forgotten animated oddity .... But as a historical artifact it is SO IMPORTANT .The first animated film to really sell itself on an All Star cast ,the film that got Chuck Jones fired from Warner Bros ,and the last film made by UPA a studio that prided itself on artistic inventiveness only to do a singing animal movie causing them to focus on TV AND solely on their money maker Mr Magoo . Made near the end of the American golden age of animation ,this if not the last gasp was the first severe cough ....Yes,the Judy Garland Cat movie signafied the end of an era.I actually like the movie but it's impact on animation isn't nearly talked about enough

i think about how being a trans woman means subjecting yourself to endless suffering. stares in public, confrontations with strangers, harassment online. at best it's a cavalcade of freaks in the comments of all your posts trying to piss you off, at worst it's doxxing and long-term "lolcowing" on sites like kiwifarms.
i think about how in spite of this most trans women try to be exceptionally kind and compassionate. many of them do this so as not to turn away allies, of course. people are predisposed to abandon or find reason to hate us, so we must always be on our best behavior, kinder than anyone could be expected to be, damn near saintly. but still, they endure.
most trans women i know have been cast out from somewhere. lost social groups, in person or online, usually both. most trans women i know have been abused, starting with their parents and continuing into friends, partners, and otherwise. most trans women i know have seen the worst parts of humanity on full display all the time.
but every trans woman i know is also kind. trying their hardest every day, wanting so badly to be decent, to be good, to be kind. in the face of such endless and unceasing hardship i am shocked to see, always, that my sisters keep a brave face and keep smiling, keep doing good, keep trying to be their best selves. and i am astonished. because i think there really is something magical abt that.

Trend i’m noticing looking for books with my little sister
Cannot forget my absolute favorite category of book
Activist sister: I’m concerned about American free speech being threatened.
Little brother: What do you mean? We still have free speech. I can say penis balls right now.
Help I’m hearing it in their voices now
you gotta be fucking with me, right?
literally doing the whole "I wish femininity was as impossible for me as it is for you!"
also the casual implication that someone coercively assigned male at birth presenting feminine is inherently "genderfuckery" or "mindfuck" as if that's a good thing like, as a transfem, i would in fact greatly prefer if people saw me presenting fem and just saw me as a woman (even if technically i'm nonbinary) but then again we all know TMEs don't ever think that far (also dishonourable mention to all the white emoji users in the reacts)

this pride month i want everyone to consider the benefits of abolishing the sex binary
furthermore, abolish the government systems that require people to categorize themselves into gendered categories. why do y'all need to know that.
no more assigning babies a legal sex at birth. i feel like this should go without saying, but no more surgeries on intersex infants. no more surgeries on intersex children. embrace intersex traits as natural. because they are.
no more gendered dress codes. no more gender markers on passports, driver's licenses, ids. i'm not talking about "adding x" or "adding a third category" i'm talking about no more categories, period. why does the government need to know what my genital situation is? why does the government feel the need to assign me a sex on the basis of genitals? why does the cop who pulled me over need to see an m, or an f, or an x?
no more "gender is a social construct, sex is the thing that's binary." sex is not binary. abolish the idea that it is. normalize conversations about intersex traits. being intersex is natural. the sex binary is a thing imposed by the state.
no more gendered sports. if you really care about equity, sort people into categories based on skill level and athleticism, not gender or sex. the concept that there are only two sexes and that one is inherently weaker than the other is pseudoscience. the male/female hunter/gatherer dichotomy is not based in fact, and is a product of modern sexist cultural biases. one gender is not inherently subservient to the other. people are not inherently different on the basis of sex or gender. it is just more complicated than that.
the concept of multiple genders and sexes beyond the man/woman male/female dichotomy has existed as long as humans have existed. the sex binary only serves to benefit the patriarchy. the gender binary only serves to benefit the patriarchy. continuing to impose it just controls (and harms) the people it forcibly categorizes.
i'm not asking for the end of gender, i'm calling for an acknowledgement of gender and sex that understands the infinite diversity of the human species. i'm suggesting an end to binary systems that only benefit the ruling class. just think about it. okay?
Halloween costume post
I know // I'm a complex person
inspired by @orions-garden's mother/daughter poem & this judge cover
please stop harassing black people off this website. it's like stormfront for toddlers on here. it sucks, stop it
idk how "black people should feel welcome on this website" became something you have to say out loud. if black people aren't comfortable or safe on here then that is our failure. be anti-racist or die.
it's not enough to be passively non-racist. whether you're chasing people off here yourself or choosing to ignore "discourse" (meaning the rights of black people to basic respect), the end result is a big whites-only sign outside your little clubhouse. when the tide is pulling toward bigotry, refusing to swim against it just means you'll be carried along too. passivity is acceptance. get mad, get loud, don't value the comfort of the oppressor over the dignity of the oppressed.
"why don't trans women do any domestic labor" is right up there with "why do trans women never date each other" in terms of questions that show that you know nothing about trans women. except in this case the idea that trans women don't do domestic labor is instrumental in maintaining the social hierarchy that keeps trans women doing domestic labor. the idea that trans women are male-socialized and therefore predisposed to exploit the domestic labor of people who are female-socialized keeps trans women in the insecure position of having to prove themselves by taking on historically feminine domestic roles. the reification of economic feminist analysis into biological/socially-essential categories presents the perfect opportunity for tme partners & roommates to benefit from exactly the type of economic exploitation being criticized.
I’m sorry I support all jokes but cave johnson would not be supportive of trans women
Due to a recent accident in the labs, the boys downstairs have found a way to turn men into women. Amazing breakthrough, and we wish you all luck on your transition. And your job hunt. You’re all fired. Sorry boys, nothing against you. We just don’t need women around here trying to clean up the lab while the men are trying to do real work. Cave out.
I feel the same way about GLaDOS. We know Chell isn't trans because GLaDOS is never transphobic, and she absolutely would be if she could.
future archaeologists will know you were (not) a boy
i've seen countless kind and emotional replies in the year or so since i posted this comic, but this particular tag set has squeezed me unlike any other. thanks
Okay
she should have said this in response to every obstacle they faced
