@BriannaWu Not to mention also, there are extensive curriculums devoted to restoring and recalibrating the transfeminine voice to one that sounds more female-aligned. You very often literally can do it yourself with guidance; it doesn’t have to be surgically intervened for.
just to selfishly let you know you’re not alone: spent four hours twitching and stammering tonight, but we're choosing to walk in grace, build rather than destroy, and protect rather than pollute.
yes, i am stressed. life happens! then it brings forth things.
@salltweets Frankly that is also tautological.
The primary aspect of transness is living as a gender distinct from the one initially expected of them, not just being a man if trans female & a woman if trans male — which as such would contradict. Trans women are born male and change.
I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.
My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.
I am on all the drugs post surgery. Here is some truth for the modern, entitled Trans movement.
Most women are kind of low-level delighted and amused by feminine boys that want to be girls. Yeah, they think we’re kind of weird, but if your vibes are “I’m super eager to learn, please include me,” versus “I am a political extremist that does not give a flying fuck about your feelings or safety,” 99 percent will be kind.
The problem is the modern Trans movement doesn’t talk to actual women. They talk to each other. And in the worst, male-coded spaces imaginable. Discord, 4chan, threads. So, the vibes are not about coexisting and learning. It’s about conquering and changing language, and ignoring women’s safety.
What would we be without actual women? What would we pattern our lives after? Who would we learn from?
When you ask why our relationship has changed in the last 10 years, yes, the hateful TERF movement has a lot to do with it. But it’s also true that our actions have alienated people that used to support us.
@Tallulah_66_XX@JennaJacobin@jk_rowling You are speaking from a place of female separatism, which is understandably a reactionism that arises out of fear & scorn of men — archetypally all that which a woman is not. Yet human the same. There is deeper to think and more to consider & do.
@Tallulah_66_XX@JennaJacobin@jk_rowling I believe I explicitly clarified the contrary in my other two tweets to you. You also have no verification of my birth sex at all, either which way.
@Tallulah_66_XX@JennaJacobin@jk_rowling Note, I’m speaking of your attitude which inspires your perspective on the matter. I am not speaking against the necessity of sex-segregated spaces. Nor am I condemning the notion that a person can or should shift their sex to become more fit to the other sex than they started.
@BriannaWu That endocrine homeostasis aspect has long fascinated me. Yes, mtf HRT essentially is toxic to most cis men. Yet for trans women, it is harmonizing. Likewise (though perhaps less pronouncedly) of ftm HRT for trans men versus most cis women.
