I really want cis folks to understand the situation - trans women face widespread employment discrimination and live in devastating poverty.

Meanwhile, the woman who came in fifth place in a swimming competition, ONCE, makes a million+ a year to advocate for destroying our rights.

When I was living as a gay boy, I wanted to be a villainess. As a trans woman, I’ve instead begun to identify with heroines. Someday I will make enough sense of this to write something about it.

Seeing these two side by side really drives the transmisogny of longlegs and weapons home for me. Like no, my love and I are not crazy, these dudebro filmmakers are 100 percent marshaling trans panic tropes even if they have no idea they’re doing it. (The films’ narratives further support this).

I haven’t listened to Dar Williams in over a decade, but I just tried this new track and …. Am puzzled about the decision to release a song about olive trees and democracy in 2025 that says nothing abt / has nothing to do w/ Palestine

God I hate those care react emojis over at what Mariame Kaba calls fedbook. They make me feel completely pitied and “othered” which I don’t think is most of my friends’ intention. If tangible care isn’t available (can’t buy groceries with an emoji), I’d usually much rather see anger.

Vote for Brandon Will as America's Favorite Couple! One couple will appear in an advertorial in Variety and take home $20,000.

Plz vote for us before 9 PM central today as AMERICAS GREATEST COUPLE—I hate these data mining/fundraising schemes, *but it would be lovely to see trans and caregiving stories represented amongst the finalists, and the prize would make a big difference for us!

I used to do this. JDI is inviting folks to write holiday cards to incarcerated people. It's simple: you sign up and they send you cards to write: justdetention.org/woh/ - perfect for people who are homebound.

The day started with nightmares about fascist home invasion and me screaming at the top of my lungs at Alexa about how I was going to cut parts of her off with a knife because she wouldn't take the snooze command

Talking yourself into shit can get some quick results but longterm imo you’re propagating new parts to yell at the 1st parts and not learning to understand what the 1st parts think theyre doing to protect to, in order to get to some deeper shit, nor r u creating new somatic shapes

call out NB fragility for what it is. In no way does centering medical transitioners (some of whom *are NB) in the fight for the right to medically transition, or trans women in the fight against State forces specifically organized around transmisogyny, erase your ID or throw you under any bus.

you’re saying that those of us who do medically transition, including NB ppl (which I lived as for 2 yrs & still identify with politically and philosophically - I’m a trans woman but I don’t believe in the binary), inherently oppress non transitioning NB people through our choices ???

“Everything radically accessible to everyone” = what happens when you center the material needs and DESIRES of the most marginalized. The chillest anticapitalists reject the scarcity paradigm entirely.

Redistribution doesnt mean taking anything away from any trans person’s it means that the power to decide is redistributed and no longer rests with the State, capital, and medical industrial complex. She’s made her vision very clear previously: everything radically accessible to everyone.

Isn’t part of “agency” for trans and enby ppl of all classes and AGES being able to afford and access medical transition for any fucking reason we want? Or do I somehow have that wrong ? Lol.
