Someone remind me not to expend my stress or energy on people who have no interest in nuance or understanding, please
It is so frustrating when the aggressively assimilationist takes come from other trans people, as well. Being accused of being a detriment to trans liberation at large for not catering wholly to cis interests is very frightening. I’m always afraid I could do better.
Also in slightly funnier news, this dude assumed I’d just come out and was like. “Let me know how you feel about this issues after passing a bit. I hope you can get a binder soon.” And I’m ???
The rage towards newly realized trans people continues to be a Bad Take.
Oh and I’ll say it again: CIS IS NOT A BAD WORD.

Update on top surgery issues: I have been told that I’m being moved to a different surgical facility because the first surgery won’t allow me as a patient based on BMI. The surgery is tomorrow morning. I’m honestly livid.
Unclear so far whether or not my partner’s surgery has also been moved. We may now be getting our surgeries at different facilities. This could present serious transportation problems.
How is this even legal??

Cisqueers celebrating #Pride like nothing abnormal is happening: trans people see you. We see you abandoning us. We hear your silence. It is suffocating us. We are dying.

Please say something.
Twitter hashtags won’t save us from the trans genocide currently going on in the United States.
Please, please, contact your representatives HERE and TELL THEM that you want protections for trans people in your state. Your inaction costs lives.

If you spend #Pride  celebrating your personal wins without advocating for and tangibly supporting those in the community who don’t have the privileges you do: you have missed the point.
This isn’t to say don’t celebrate. By all means celebrate! But celebrate with purpose, with compassion, and with solidarity.
Anyway, trans and/or queer people of color, please add your need posts and petitions, etc HERE.
I will be adding posts to this thread as I find them as well.

Describe your fashion sense in a sentence or less.

Mine has gotta be, “fuckboy but make it visibly queer”
