TERFs don't believe sweat accumulates in the vulva and have clearly never seen @stevieboebi's video "Why does my vagina smell?" Which I can't find anymore for some reason, but yeah, maybe listen to a sex educator instead of making shit up about "there's no sweat glands there..." She's a cis woman too, if that helps.

I had the most horrendously transphobic experience I've ever had at a pharmacy at a @riteaid today.
Every other pharmacy I've ever been can track a preferred name for a trans patient. Actually so can they... but the tech wanted spent literally 15 minutes arguing that he couldn't. He kept trying to talk over me to explain "I can update your name, but then your insurance won't pay for your medication," which is a lie. My insurance covers my meds at every other pharmacy that has my preferred name in the system as what to call me. It's separate from insurance

I had an endoscopy today. It's amazing how they put you out and it's just like blink and you're awake again, but I wish I hadn't woken back up. I wish I'd died under anesthesia. It has me thinking though that maybe dying doesn't have to be so hard... The only methods I have to kill myself would be traumatic, but once I pass out, that's it. Nothing. No TERFs, no violence, just nothing. I long for that... Nothingness...

This just in: TERFs believe in spontaneous generation. They do not believe that the Lactobacilli and other good bacteria and yeast that should be present in a healthy vagina moved in from outside. They believe they were spontaneously birthed from their XX chromosomes. They don't believe these are independent, genetically unique organisms that symbiote with humans, they believe that they are birthed spontaneously from "female bodies" the way folks used to believe maggots came spontaneously from meat, and mold from bread.

If a TERF finds out you were AMAB and have been raped by multiple cis women, that your first sexual experience was being raped by a cis woman she will get absolutely giddy about intentionally triggering you. TERFs don't believe vagina-owners have to follow the rules of consent 🧵 It goes so much further than simply embracing what patriarchy taught them, and what they'll go to great lengths to explain to rape survivors whose PTSD they want to trigger: Every penis owner wants sex from every vagina owner all the time, so it's impossible for women to rape.

I'm doing worthwhile things with my life now that I've transitioned. I'm making music. When I can cope with my trauma enough to get back on camera, I'll be making more content. These are things I never would have been able to do before. I just drank and cut myself. I haven't cut in five years, and the last time I did, it was a reaction to abuse, not dysphoria. I've fallen off the wagon times I've been homeless, but now I've been sober since the night I met Kesha, which was a year and a half ago, and before that night I'd been sober a year.

I don't understand how you can refer to having my testicles removed as "harm" when I want them gone, when testosterone actively sabotages my mental wellbeing when it's not blocked... It's not your place to be concerned with whether or not I can have kids either. I don't want or need them to be happy. Keep your forced-birth agenda away from my body. My marital rapist wanted to act like my sperm belonged to her too. It's literally mine to get rid of if I want.

I can't believe there are literally TERFs who believe that they actually chop off your penis and invert it, and that they don't construct a glans clitoris and labia... I also can't believe they don't know that penile inversion is rarely even how vaginoplasty is done... I guess I can believe it, of course, it makes sense that they'd be entirely ignorant of something they're against because they don't understand it anyway, but they literally know less than nothing about vaginoplasty. It shows. They do ZERO research before opening their mouths.

Referring to vaginoplasty as "castration" is really inaccurate first of all, but it's also really telling that TERFs would look at the creation of a vulva and vagina and just see the "loss" of a dick (ie "manhood") They're patriarchal about everything else, why not vaginoplasty. You see where it says "TERFs DNI (That's a boundary)" quite clearly, right on my profile? That boundary exists because interacting with TERFs is pretty much guaranteed to trigger my CPTSD from my transphobic abuser and rapist, and from my first rapist who is also a TERF.
