Kay NightInk 🇨🇦

We've just finished watching the second season. This is quite the shocking change of direction for Mr Russell, and I'm very here for it.

Kay stands at the Vancouver Dyke March, holding a sign that reads 'That's Mr Butch to you, pipsqueak'. He's wearing a n95 mask and a giant carabiner.

Beautiful day to reject corporate Pride and choose community, solidarity, support, and hope instead. #vancouverdykemarch

Terfs to me, in an openly butch/femme relationship:

"You might as well be in a het relationship! You look like man!"

Terfs to straight trans guys in relationships with women:

"You're just in a lesbian relationship! Even if you look like a man!"

The only winning move is not to play their game.

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

Bride and Groom A second wedding. Another perspective.

Really beginning to find my feet with #writing again. Using some story and poetry competition prompts to get things going. This is a short story, drawing on some familiar themes.

If there is an afterlife, I hope John MacArthur is sitting in humility at the feet of Andrea Gibson, learning from them what love truly is.

The franchises and properties and universes from your childhood didn't become woke, they were always woke, you grew up and became a horrible human being.

Yes, that's the exact language for it. The GCs reserve their worst rhetoric for trans women, but they do have an especially vicious streak about trans guys and trans mascs abasing ourselves for them. It's why they have pet butches who say they 'don't mind' being harassed in the loo.

The original quoted post has the archived version if you want the full thing. It's worth it as an extended example of deep, unresolved self-loathing.

The repeated refrain in the piece of 'We said we would leave their children alone' is quite sickening, like LGBTQ+ folk made some reluctant agreement to stop being paedos for the sake of a rights campaign. Which is especially ironic framing when he then starts talking about kids' first orgasms. 😔

There's something so satisfying about a sharp razor cutting through 4 days of beard growth. One of these days, I'll cultivate more than the sideys, but the freshness of a smooth shave is a super-charged moment of confidence.

Of course, I also enjoy being a bit of a scruffy slob beforehand, too.

I like to point out that GC talking points about the 'dangers of transactivism' are hypothetical ad absurdum arguments that are very similar to anti-abortion tactics, whereas everything pro-trans rights folk have warned about is not just actually happening, but has been facilitated by GCs.

Every time I talk to terfs, their examples of 'hateful trans activism' are screenshots they've collated of contextless Twitter hyperbole or stuff from the darkest recesses of reddit or tumblr. They seem to think confirmation bias is the scientific method.

Well, that tracks given that her original bs tweet attacking the article on people who menstruate was entirely based on the headline of an article that talked solely about women and girls.

Just seen some GC lesbian separatists getting annoyed because they're facing discrimination and homophobia online and off.

I'm curious as to what they thought would happen after their obsessive hatred of gender non-conformity led to them platforming the rhetoric of homophobes & misogynists.

When I was a Christian, devout old ladies would remind me that knowing scripture wasn't proof of righteousness, because 'even the devil knows the bible'.

I believe that humans progress by sharing our knowledge & supporting each other to thrive. In my nearly half century, I've learned that conservatism is cruel & detrimental to all human thriving. The only remedy for its poison is social ostracism until its adherents accept the human rights of all.

Oh absolutely.

For all their talk of 'dismantling patriarchy', I've never met one of them who didn't just want to continue the patriarchal power structures with themselves calling the shots instead.

Sheila Jeffreys is one of the few consistent GCs. She hates butches, trans mascs & trans men as much as she hates trans women because she recognises that for many of us, our gender is absolutely connected to our sexuality. Most GCs like to pretend we're sexless, innocent blobs they can tokenise.

I remember the pearl-clutching some of the GCs did at the idea that butches found it arousing to be perceived as guys, especially during sex. They wanted to keep us as token homely, innocent sorts that like wearing flannel and comfortable shoes to contrast with their demonising of trans women.

One reason why I reject respectability politics is that I've spent my life trying to be a decent, kind human being and I know people who respect and like me on that basis.
But they will always view me as lesser simply because of my orientation. I can never be respectable enough to change that.

A white guy with short brown hair, brown eyes, and tattoos on his forearms, wearing a muted orange and white open knit shirt and grey cargo shorts, sits on a couch smiling.

15 months on T, nearly 2 months in Canada living with my fiancée and loving her more deeply each day, maintaining relationships with my adult children and my sibling, trying to add good things to the world while still living with cPTSD - this weekend, I'm mostly enjoying the sun.

GCs are just like pro-lifers in their tactics and the disingenuous claims of concern for the welfare of the individuals seeking care. We know driving things underground only increases risks. Those of us DIYing without access to monitoring is the new wire coathangers & the blame lies with GCs.

My lady is very committed to running inclusive LGBTQ+ programming, but is always going to be at the mercy of admin types, and they will *only* know the positive impact and therefore be supportive if they get direct feedback from the library patrons, not only from her.

Yes. I've come to this perspective from the starting point of 'Born This Way' narratives. I absolutely believe I was, but I don't need to be just so I can cravenly beg & ask permission from someone to be myself. Default cishet is maintained by even entertaining the question 'Why are you...?'

Personally, it doesn't make sense to me to respond to anyone telling you something about their identity by saying 'No, you're not'.
