I'm gonna say this again because you may need to hear it and the people in your life are too "polite" to "impose" by validating you.

You are trans enough to transition.

You are masculine/feminine enough.

Transitioning can be hard but it genuinely saved my life. 6 years ago I was questioning if I was "trans enough" to transition. I'd never met a trans woman before so how could I KNOW I was trans? And wasn't I too old anyway? Maybe I was FAKING IT for attention! I knew I wanted to be a woman but that didn't feel like enough evidence.

Whenever I see a woman who detransitioned decide to weaponize her pain against every trans person that ever lived I'm just like girl you know you could just not do that right?

Me and you share SO MANY of the same problems. Talk with trans women. Think about it for 10 seconds. You're uncomfortable with your voice because it was masculinized by T and now you can't pass as a woman 100%. You hate having an adams apple, face/body hair, or a receding hairline that makes you feel wrong in your body or lesser in your womanhood. I get it. I really do.

There's no reason to avoid the term TERF. It's not vague, it has a very specific meaning. If your "feminism" can be summarized by gatekeeping womanhood from queer women or shaming women's bodies because they differ from yours then you can dig a hole in the woods and lie in it.

TERF isn't insulting, it's objective truth. They are trans exclusionary. They hold radical negative beliefs about trans bodies. They claim to be feminists.

The term is insulting because it correctly identifies their beliefs and shines a light on their hatred.

Trans women that gain massive popularity online real fast because we're pretty and funny need a real goal for what we want to do with our lives after that dries up.

Streaming/posting forever isn't sustainable for a lot of us. Like what do we want 10-15 years from now? I see so many girls that have huge followings, some of them have more money than they've ever had in their lives, tearing themselves up inside because they don't know what they're doing. None of us do, but having a dream helps you push through it at least instead of getting stuck

Alright show me your scars if you got em JK, cause I sure as fuck do. Thinking about that time in high school one of the boys threw me on the ground and beat the shit out of me because I was a writer.

He said he wanted to wrap a bike chain around his knuckles to shred up my face because I was always inventing whimsical fairy tale narratives.

I would like to publicly apologise for a previous Twitter thread where I interacted with JK Rowling on matters relating to the transgender community. I have now removed these tweets and would like to apologise to JK Rowling directly for causing potential upset.
 
(1/3) I failed to choose my words with care and would like to retract my previous statements regarding her views on LGBTQ+ and specifically transgender people. She would march with us if our rights were being infringed upon but they're not. JK Rowling is mommy and she loves us.

LGB people who are transphobic get SO ANGRY with you for comparing homophobia to transphobia, especially talking about your own experiences and like... These are the same thing. They're the same thing. They're. The. Same. Fucking. Thing. It's the same people doing the same thing. When I was 14 I got fag bashed constantly. I was abused by my peers and my family for "being a faggot"

They hated me because they thought I was a gay boy.

But I wasn't a boy who liked boys, I was a girl who liked girls.

What they hated was my femininity.

Hey Warner Bros I would like to pitch my Mystery Inc CW show it's hard R horror and Velma is a tranny and she and Daphne have hot lesbian sex and Shaggy is 3 years sober from drugs and alcohol and has PTSD and Fred is a racist 4chan femboy and Scooby is an Animorph stuck as a dog INT. womans locker room - day

We find VELMA DINKLEY, 24 years old, transgender but you wouldn't know it to look at her unless you saw her sizeable cock. We do. She strokes her massive erection while horny moans escape her.

VELMA: God I hate... feminism.

She does a big cum.

Here’s a list of trans led film and tv shows you should watch!!!

Dispatches from Elsewhere made me feel immensely seen! Simone is a queen.

Veneno, Pose, BIT, Tangerine, and We Are All Going To The Worlds Fair rocked my shit 😋

Past that, it’s mostly headcanons and allegory

Every Gender Critical person has either never considered the endgame of their weird little obsession, or they’re lying and consciously KNOW they want to exterminate trans people.

How do they want society to treat trans people in 50 years? Ask them. They’ll tell you. The responses I’ve gotten from asking GC’s “How should society treat transness in 50 years?”

A) Exactly the same as now, minus the thing I’m currently concerned about

B) No hormones, surgeries, crossdressing, protections, no name/gender change, forced conversion therapy

C) lol

If all you know about trans folks are debates about bathrooms and sports and puberty blockers and suicide stats and detransition, you need to realize we’re PEOPLE.

You don’t know who we actually are. What we’re like. You’re being fed a narrative created by those who want us dead Even if you’re on our side, viewing us as a list of debate topics and questions to be answered and GOTCHA responses to shut down a conservative argument isn’t going to help you see our humanity.

You deserve to know us! We’re pretty cool!

So many people have told me my trans body horror movie will never get made while cis people are making movies like Titane and Men 🤡 “Wow I love movies about people with horrible monster diseases that mess with their bodies and turn them into genderfucked freaks! Wait this one approaches transness with empathy? And it’s written by a trans woman? Ew gross get that faggot shit out of here.”

If schools don’t teach children about gender identity, don’t teach them it’s okay to be trans, if kids media isn’t allowed to have trans characters; their first experience with transness on screen WILL BE porn or it WILL BE dehumanizing jokes.

That was my experience. It sucked. If you’re cis, you can’t imagine how much it messes with your head to see yourself for the first time in porn.

To be a 14 year old watching a trans woman being hate fucked, slapped around, called slurs, and to be horrified that’s who you’re going to become someday.

I was 6 or 7 and my dad joked about taking me to a “daddy daughter dance” at the YMCA

I got really excited to go and get dressed up until I realized he was making fun of me 🙃

When I was 12 I went to this summer day program. All the other kids in my age group were girls and we got along great until someone decided to put me in another group because I was… acting too girly?

So I spent my whole summer when I was 12 hanging out with 6 year olds 😬

I just finished Fire Walk With Me and I don’t like movies anymore. I’m done with movies. No more movies. Hey you guys really seemed to like Twin Peaks. The charm, the ensemble cast, the light times and human moments despite the dark undertone, the mystery and intrigue. How about a movie with no charm where half the cast doesn’t return and the ones who do come back seem really bored?

I never wore a dress before I was 25. I was terrified of being hurt and disowned by my peers, my family, the people who were supposed to love me. Trying on feminine clothes and makeup was a last resort for me and I only did it when I knew I wouldn’t survive my 20s as a man. I was punished by my school for wearing nail polish/girl pants. I was punished by fellow students for being feminine. I was punished by my dad for being a faggot despite never expressing much interest in boys.

I didn’t CHOOSE not to explore my identity, I was forced not to.

Just saw someone asking about a trans child with transphobic parents “where did the kid get the IDEA to go by those pronouns?”

And it’s becoming clearer every day that the bigoted abuse I received by EVERYONE in my adolescence was manufactured specifically to keep me down. The point of the homophobic and transphobic abuse I received as a teenager in the late 2000s wasn’t that everyone else was ignorant and didn’t know any better. It was to KEEP ME IGNORANT.

It was to keep me from ever finding my peace. It was “become normal or burn in hell faggot”

I feel like the natural endgoal for my voice dysphoria is that I just get over it and settle for sounding like a boy for the rest of my life and that makes me want to set a trash can on fire and kick it over I’ve seen 3 different voice coaches, I’ve tried everything I could short of surgery (which seems dangerous and not very reliable?) I’ve cried about this a hundred times.

I’m just so fucking sick of being this way and I don’t want to settle for mediocre.

Thinking about this daytime summer program I went to in 5th grade where everyone else in the grade 3-6 section were girls so they put me in the K-3 section so I “wouldn’t be uncomfortable” and I was forced to spend my whole summer doing activities designed for 6 year olds And this was after a day or two of me in the age appropriate group just chilling with the girls totally normal? Who decided that made me uncomfortable? It wasn’t me. It probably had nothing to do with MY feelings and everything to do with some nosey parents.

Someday, I’ll have a library full of films and books and the perfect light to read by 🥺🥺🥺 Someday I’ll live in a house with great soundproofing where I can play the drums and sing as loud as I want without bothering people 🥺🥺🥺
