I think it's important to remember they mostly find this kind of thing to be very fun. The only people drawn to this are incapable of any sense of community that isn't founded on hate, so getting to raid someone completely undeserving of it is just pure bliss for them.
Fucking hell. The book was a tough read for me because of my own maternal trauma. But it’s a good book. And my mom died this year, resulting in similar complicated elation. That’s not a play for social capital; it’s a form of self-empowerment.
None of these people actually read the book. McCurdy faced decades of emotional, physical, and psychological abuse from her mom, leading to further abuse on a vast scale at Nickelodeon so when her mom died, McCurdy felt understandable relief & spent years untangling the guilt.
Sometimes it’s nice to remember that there’s a beautiful world out there where nobody fights over your gender or your right to exist.
I cherish the moments I find it :)
@ghastlymilf This is incredible. Thank you. As a transfem who is naturally very masc, I realize that my early desire to pass probably set my transition back 20 years. As I did it then, attempting to pass was just lying about myself—and brought me further away from my true self.
i'm wondering if people who haven't had their healthcare or school participation banned just, like, sincerely don't know how bad things are? i thought everybody knew but maybe i live in a trans advocacy bubble. please spend some time with MAP's, uh, maps: https://t.co/YxAKMBdeVW
saw this clip again of brennan that’s relevant now more than ever. when someone calls into question the force we use to fight against oppressors remember whose boot is on your throat. it’s always theirs.
still sometimes think about how when my apartment got raided by cops back in 2021 i still had a massive neon sign on the wall of my living room that just said "crime"
I was just speaking with someone about this very idea--dysphoria is best understood not as a "wrong body" or "misalignment" problem as much as the anxiety and dissociation that comes with being denied your own subjectivity.
Hey y’all. Are you looking for HRT but don’t know where to start? Worried about therapist letters and gatekeepers? I made this two years ago and have maintained it since. EVERY informed consent HRT spot in the country. No therapist required.

@ATT not saying anything about their nationwide outages and refusing to comment to news sources should be illegal, especially with how crucial internet access is to most of the country in this day and age
Anti-trans people say this to pretend they're reasonable; that if you were to just change your behaviours and conform to their expectations / standards, they'd be more tolerant or even accepting. They're lying.

Can’t imagine white liberals tone policing Palestinians facing genocide, but then again, most of them think marginalized people are auditioning for the compassion they can either never seem to find or that is conditional on “good behavior.”
It’s them saying “dance for me.”
Destroying ancient churches & forcing Christmas celebrations to shut down in Bethlehem…
First year they haven’t said anything about there being a “war on Christmas”
