I'm tired of everything but here we go again, if you're a canadian citizen, permanent resident, etc, you're concerned about this

Fact of the matter is "hey, I have uncertain feelings about my gender identity I want to discuss with a therapist who can help me make sense of them" and "I would like to change my sex characteristics" are two separate healthcare issues that can and should be provided independent of each other

I can't remember if I read in Stone or Serano the framing that doctors wrote books about how to distinguish the few worthy trans people from the unworthy crowd and then had a profession-wide meltdown when they discovered that trans people can read books

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

my daughter and i made the pie from celeste together after she got 150 strawberries

i was once defeated by an orange juice container

estrogen + not working out your arms does devilish work fr

call me a keyboard the way you beat me when you get flustered

Ultimately, conservatives believe that trans women are women, they just view trans women as an underclass of women that needs to be denied womanhood as a way to scapegoat us

You can see in their behavior towards us that they don't actually treat trans women like men

“I’m really not freaked out, by the way. By you being trans.” “Thanks.” “I’m really not. People nowadays aren’t so—” “I’ve met people nowadays.” “But I’m not like that.” “Good. Thanks. But you still…” “I still what?” “You still gave me the look. I hate the look.” “The look?” “The one that says, ‘I’m looking for the man you used to be.’ Don’t worry. Everyone does it. People think, ‘Is that a male jawline? Would she have that nose if she were born a girl? That brow, that hairline…’” She shrugs. Continues staring almost unblinking at the road ahead, as if it might escape. “People start looking at you like they’re working their way down a checklist. Especially cis women. The same internalised misogyny that makes them think they’re never quite pretty enough starts working on us, looking for the ‘flaws’—” Gemma articulates an especially aggressive air-quote with the hand on the steering wheel, “—either because they feel inferior that a man can look better than them, or they feel superior that the poor, pathetic little tranny looks worse. We’re your funhouse mirrors: weird and fun and just a little scary to look at.” “Did I look at you like that?” “Maybe. Some of it. I don’t know. But everyone changes how they look at you when they find out. You get recontextualised. You become a little less real.”

For no reason, an excerpt from my story Glow, Worm

A man says "I have amnesia..." He looks in his front pocket and says "what's this? there's a letter in my pocket." He opens is and says "this could be a clue as to who I am." He opens the letter and it just says "You Have Amnesia." The man looks pissed.

How I look in her DMs

Only 2 more hours of work !!!

at a certain point it stops hurting again because your first thought when getting misgendered is that they must be stupid, because look at me?? im so pretty???

jfc this pains my soul with the accuracy

all its missing is that she also hasn't showered in a few days (negative)
