it would be nice if people could show the tiniest bit of empathy and imagine what it might be like as a closeted trans kid to have your only cultural reference points be Dr Frank'N'Furter or Buffalo Bill.
"male socialisation" rhetoric is simply an effort to deny trans girls any interiority pre-transition: no one talks about gay ppl being "straight-socialised", bc we understand that the experience of growing up gay differs markedly from the norm... (🧵)
one lovely about transitioning is that women put their hands on each others arms and shoulders so casually while talking and it's so much nicer than the way men physically interact with each other which always made me feel so alienated
the issue with the statement "you don't need HRT to be valid" is that it's a technically true statement that's almost invariably used in bad faith to try and pressure trans people (especially trans women) out of medically transitioning
thinking about how disconnected from lesbian culture i feel as a trans lesbian. how no one cares to depict us in anything even lesbian artists praised for their inclusivity. how we dont matter to other lesbians. how men are more important to lesbian spaces than us. happy pride.
I’m not a car girl. Never have been.
Played Forza 6 for 4 hours today.
While driving home tonight, I spotted a 97’ Honda Civic Type R and immediately knew that it rips.
Is this how it starts?
