Did this already exist and is being reprinted into the format or is it new?
Yeppppp shit is WILD
Homestuck classpect ass title (complimentary)
We used to call those "movies"
Started the post misreading fab as NOT being an acronym and thought it was about a problematic queer person, turns out it actually was lmao
India Willoughby?

Plenty angelic anyway, S H E E S H
jesus CHRIST im gay
Reducing women to their capacity to breed is monstrous to do to cis women and a sign of patriarchal overreach and right-wing rhetoric. Yet it's the sole, essential bar in the exclusion and dehumanization of trans women. You cannot be a leftist or feminist and be anti-trans liberation.
ngl boss feels like the makeup practice is going just fine
Sorry us uppity trannies are so unpleasant for you to deal with, we should just roll over and let the dems also restrict our rights
I don't think you feel any guilt actually.
So you're telling me that they're going to lie to win, with my rights in the balance, and that I should trust them? What happens when they decide it's politically expedient to follow through on some of that rhetoric, hmm?
This from Riley Gaines is why trans people freak out when Democrats try to carve out some compromise over sports. The politicians and activists attacking trans people are not interested in compromise! They're interested in our eradication from public life and are exploiting sports to that end
The former and it looks rad, stealing~
We get it buddy, you don't have to keep rephrasing "enjoy the camps" in each post, we hear you loud and clear.
I am so tired of "winning" for my people meaning "some of us were so cockroach-like that despite billions of dollars and the very design of society's entire structure, they couldn't kill us all"
I've noticed that the people who refer to us like this almost always hold regressive views. Not "trans people" or "the trans community." Just "trans." Adjective as noun, sometimes plural.
This but for sports leagues
Trans people: can we have rights? GOP: no because you're mentally ill freaks and we want you to die Centrists: No because I don't want my kids to be trans, and because you asked us we're voting GOP Democrats: No because asking us is purity politics and that makes fascism your fault, how dare you
"Hey there!" "Easy, buddy." "Hmm?" "What's the rush?" "On it." "You got it." "I'm your girl." "Consider it done." "Never ends, does it?" "No rest for the wicked, huh?" "All I'm good for." "A job's a job."
Luma-lee, luma-bop!
bonus actions innit
God she fucking sucks so much Feels like multiple fingers curled on the monkey's paw when she got elected
On the off chance that you care, "egg" describes a person exhibiting behavior that would suggest they're trans but who has not come to terms with it yet. If anything, that would make them "people pretending to be cis online."
Trans people are only ever as deserving of rights as the most cis critic decides.

She doesn't know how to use the two buttons
You were, but on the plus side, you've still got the entire rest of your life to feel good being called Julia in public.
Comparable to their cis counterparts. The fact that trans people are underrepresented at the Olympics should be eye opening, and that's before factoring in that the ones that do qualify have had forgettable performances. 2/2
1. State governments already have variable policies for trans youth. Blockers are banned from being prescribed for trans children (not for cis children, btw) in many states. 2. There aren't enough, but a Separate But Equal league is unnecessary. After a year or so on HRT, trans women are 1/2
Ohhhhh my goddddd the translations can't come soon enough
Those standards are already in place at higher levels of competition. To enforce them at lower levels, one would need to also allow puberty blockers...which mean that this does, in fact, require government support.
What about it isn't fair exactly?
So happy for you. They had a foam shell on me for the first few days. When they took it off and I finally saw everything, I cried harder than I ever have in my life. The next few weeks will suck, but soon it'll feel like you've had it forever, like it's the most natural thing in the world.
All the more reason why I've come around on the issue of gender being mutable vs sex somehow being immutable. It's looking pretty fucking mutable from where I'm standing!
Ngl dawg I have no idea what you were trying to say then
I havent been, but I also 1. Have been married since before I transitioned 2. Don't really drink or hang out in large public social settings in general Which I think probably makes me an outlier.
That is apparently normal and takes a bit to go away, like a couple months tops
LETS GOOOOO
been real anxious about it esp since surgery, that is honestly a very reassuring way to think about it thank you
waitwaitwait i can take a needle does this mean i can take a dick
See you on the other side!
you are a temporarily embarrassed cis woman. speak of yourself that way.
As someone more eloquent than me once put it, "trans women are the women of women."
Maybe I don't need FFS after all
oh no im gay
Wasn't planning on interacting when I saw how many times she completely missed the point, nothing I could add that yall didn't cover in more than enough detail. Fingers crossed that she understands better with time.
Holy shit what a miserable thread to read
So excited for you!!!
"We have to pull back on palestine support" "we have to pull back on trans rights" "Dems should be more centrist" EAT HOT ASPHALT YOU FUCKING LOSERS!!!
Your hair also looks INCREDIBLE here
sometimes it is better to dye your pants with shit than to shit your pants and die
Girl you are gonna be blown away by how much your opinion of yourself changes. Once the initial feeling of being overwhelmed by the sudden change wears off, it is genuinely night and day. Only a few months to go, yeah? You're going to be so happy, I promise.
[PERSON WHO IS GLOWING BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN VOICE] i think hrt is very dangerous and you should only trust a doctor to handle it. if they ban hrt then you shouldn't get support from diy networks like how people did before the medical establishment gave you- i mean us, crumbs, because it's dangerous
"You don't NEED hrt" they told me as my body starts falling apart without it "You're so valid though" they say when I talk about how I wanted to die without hrt "You just need community" they say as my community is being destroyed and dying Every single time we talk about how we need HRT to live.
Also known as "the two wolves inside of me"
A rose! 🌹
Still reeling from refusing to pick a flower name when we did an activity in kindergarten (and making up for it by making my middle name a flower)
growing up as a sensitive white boy I internalized a lot of messages about the importance of being a generous and even-handed lover with women and since transitioning I've had to unlearn them all because every other tgirl I know is begging for the disposable cumrag treatment
feels mildly insane that THIS is the post that makes me break my pseudo professionalism on what I'll reskeet but GIWTWM
Booooo
New light novel volume out next month
Appreciate the honesty, ending my existence now
Ngl your stomach looks incredible, do you work out or is it just good dietary habits?
I'm a month post op and even fully clothed I feel like I see my reflection as more feminine than previously. Part of that is being able to wear more femme clothing, and wear it correctly. You're going to feel so much better once it's done, you just have to get there. You've got this.
I need my cis people to realize that "Trans rights" are material, not metaphysics. We deserve access to HRT with informed consent, not gatekeeping. We desrve bodily autonomy. To not be fired, exploited, or evicted. To not be discriminated against.
LET'S GOOOOO
Reading "firm oviposition" and blushing so hard I pass out
NYT actually published this sentence, which asks us to take baseless moral panic bullshit seriously as a reasonable position. Supporters of the Holocaust considered Jews to be subhuman saboteurs of German society, too. So fucking what??
🧵NOT BY ME, this is a post from someone who wants to remain anonymous but works extensively with trans people pre-transition. They were asked by someone “why do you think that’s so much [coverage of trans people] in the news at the moment?” This was their response:
And where I'm allowed to have pierced ears
Pressing the big button labeled "vaginoplasty now" like a rat in a Skinner box
Color inverted Shaggy from Scooby Doo
Castle in the Sky and it's not close
My cis friend who plays racquetball with me and gushes about this guy she's crushing on has done more to dispel my self-image of being a hulking predatory ogre than anyone or anything else in my life.
lmao i've had friends genuinely think my voice training was a result of hormones too, no one knows how transition works
Hell yeah, so happy for you!
biden did nothing for us. the party's presidential candidate refused to say "trans." at least 4 senate candidates ran anti-trans video ads. the gov of *CA* runs an anti-trans podcast. *MA* dems won't vote down an athlete ban. if you refuse to understand what's happening we won't be able to stop it.
When the US began to strip trans people of rights, revert documentation, move trans women to men's prisons, censor research, and move towards healthcare bans, most cis people posted things like "the government can't tell you who you are!" They think our biggest issue is validation, not actual harm.
I did monotherapy from the start, and even before my doctor bumped up my dosage my T absolutely cratered.
Dork ass loser
It's frustrating not being certain how authentic any perceived "acceptance" is, but if it's any consolation, it gets clearer with time. Not necessarily better, mind you, but eventually they have to reckon with who/what you have become.
golly gee I sure hope so!
Society at large would be better off if everyone had to do a stint as a retail or food service worker.
For real, every early episode making casual reference to Jane Prentiss is so good, it's my favorite season when I re-listen.
Soma is such a cool character, Julius is a top tier Belmont, and the main theme goes hard. Aria's art style was gorgeous, it's a real shame they dropped it in Dawn.
Anglerfish was so fucking raw to start on, god DAMN
My in-laws are like this. I'm happy they're at least on board now, but I'm always going to be wary of them when it comes to politics.
less than ten trans women tried to play collegiate sports and now the car dealership class gets to crash the global economy and set up sweatshops in the midwest
Hell yeah, happy for you! Shit is terrifying and amazing at the same time.
Saw a guy insisting that he couldn’t be transphobic because he is a liberal after he openly stated that so many “toxic leftists” tend to be “brocialists” and “trans women” so it MUST be a problem with “male privilege”
the entire political project of the american right is to create a hierarchy with protected in-groups and punished out-groups. there is no moral nor political upside in meeting them half way on any of those out-groups. the only people in a bubble are those who deny that hierarchy is their agenda
I've had a hell of a time explaining to people that I find it extremely hard to convince people to vote for the Damage Control Party when the Damage Control Party loudly refuses to do any damage control.
Your friend is demanding that an entire minority lose rights and you're not even curious about what the counter arguments are?
