2010s: “trans people are valid”
2020s: “trans people are legit, are never going back, and stopped putting up with the last of your cis bullshit from the 2010s, so get with the now and show us some damn respect”
really gutted you lost once again, @TeqSeven612
maybe it’s time for another re-brand next time you run — perhaps with a completely new idea which wasn’t cribbed from work produced for you twenty years ago by an unpaid melungeon trans woman you stiffed 💁🏽♀️
better luck next time.
fellow tran:
when CRAs (cis rights activists) like terfs, mras, white supremacists, religious zealots, etc. goad you into a reaction,
don’t talk back to them
instead, talk beyond them as if you’re looking to the horizon ahead & ignoring that rat which just darted onto the road
i call cis people “cis” for one purpose:
it marks them as people who are not trans and, thus, who lack my people’s basic welfare as a main priority
this helps me to mark people who aren’t entitled to my trans attention or trans energy unless they’re paying me on my trans terms
sure, i’m not on main twitter much anymore and that isn’t going to change, but from time to time something deserves y’all’s eyeballs and i’m not here to waste your time
Happy International Womxn's Day!
We are offering free online birth control assessments all day! 🧡
If you say you're a woman, then you're a woman. And you should be really proud of that!
*For medical purposes, availability of our birth control service is based on assigned sex
@robintran04 i respect that you don’t like “dead name” for yourself,
to be fair, having it apply to all of us wasn’t on my mind when i came up w/ it — back when i was still working on The Cisnormativity Project: https://t.co/Q9lpXAYLyY
ofc, it *did* take on a life all its own, which is neat
anyway, i *do* expect/hope any of y’all can pull me aside, publicly so, as needed, should you find me wilfully hanging out with or following figureheads who are publicly harming entire marginalized, highly scapegoated communities,
and i’ll get on that shit without raising a fuss
and some of y’all *ALSO* know what i survived as a kid during the mid-1980s:
clinical trans conversion therapy,
JK Rowling openly advocates for trans conversion therapy
Y’ALL, DO BETTER
and here’s why:
structural cisnormativity,
a superset of both
structural cisheteronormativity
& structural cishomonormativity,
relies on totalizing capitalism,
relies on settler-colonialism,
& relies and on imperialism
you know where JK Rowling stands
you know where i stand
