Welcome to #TransTuesday! This week we’re discussing something every trans person has to deal with, all these little things that add up in ways cis people likely don’t even realize. It’s death by a thousand cuts with TRANS MICROAGGRESSIONS. A heart in the trans flag colors, but it’s been broken and damaged and is held together by bangages Cis folks, this one is again largely directed at you. So please read and try to understand. Please share this with other cis folks, because you can have a greater impact on them than I can. And this is one of those things we need to change.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! I’ve talked so many times about how t r a n s people and cis people really aren’t all that different, but there’s one way most cis people never realize that may just blow your mind. Strap in for CIS PEOPLE GET GENDER AFFIRMING HEALTHCARE TOO. black text on a light blue ... Even outside twitter's continued suppression of tweets with

and

t r a n s g e n d e r

in them, this one is VITAL for cis people to see. Cis friends, please RT this thread! We REALLY need cis folks to understand what's going on here.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! This week we’re talking about the dream (THE! DREAM!) and pools and makeup and self-discovery and, if we’re lucky, self-acceptance in THE INTENTIONAL TRANS ALLEGORY OF REAL GENIUS, part 3! a movie poster for REAL GEN... As a reminder, you NEED to have the context from part 1 about PJ Torokvei and the time this movie was written and filmed in.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! Now that you’ve got the needed context, we’re going to dive into the movie itself and show you what PJ Torokvei had to say about being trans in: THE INTENTIONAL TRANS ALLEGORY OF REAL GENIUS, part 2! the Real Genius DVD cover, ... If you missed that needed context, you MUST first read part 1. You HAVE to understand all of that to truly understand what’s going on in the actual allegory that we’re about to discuss.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! Today we’re going to dive into another movie with an incredible trans allegory that says something truly wonderful about trans folks. We’re starting THE INTENTIONAL TRANS ALLEGORY OF REAL GENIUS, part 1 - CONTEXT AND PJ TOROKVEI. A REAL GENIUS movie poster showing Val Kilmer as Chris Knigh I had somehow managed to never see this movie for my entire life until just a few weeks ago. I don’t know how that happened, I wasn’t trying to avoid it or anything! But a trans friend of mine mentioned to me that she thought I should do a thread on its trans allegory.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! This week we’re talking about something nearly every trans person has to deal with, even though we shouldn’t… because this isn’t about us, it’s about cis people. Prepare thyself, because we’re gonna talk about CIS GRIEF OVER TRANS PEOPLE. Cis friends, as before (and as always, actually), your sharing of this is vital because your cis friends, family, and acquaintances are the ones who need to hear this. Maybe you do, too.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! Today we’re going to talk about the trans community, how very badly we need our cis allies, and how everyone has a CHOICE in THE INTENTIONAL TRANS ALLEGORY OF MATRIX RESURRECTIONS, part 6! As always and forever, be sure to have read my previous threads on Resurrections and The Matrix, Reloaded, and Revolutions, the first leads to the next and so on. Don’t skip ahead, you need the context!

Welcome to #TransTuesday! Today we’re going to talk cis people who are unwitting participants in trans oppression, we’re going to talk about Neo’s jacket, and we’re going to choose to fight for ourselves in THE INTENTIONAL TRANS ALLEGORY OF MATRIX RESURRECTIONS, part 5! I know I say this a lot, but please first read the previous threads on Resurrections, as well as the threads on The Matrix, Reloaded, and Revolutions if you haven’t already. They all build on each other and have context you absolutely need.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! Today we’ll reunite with our subconscious desires, which will sadly reawaken transphobia (which wastes no time in coming for us), in THE INTENTIONAL TRANS ALLEGORY OF MATRIX RESURRECTIONS, part 4! As always, please be sure you’ve read the previous threads on Resurrections, as well as the threads on The Matrix, Reloaded, and Revolutions. They’re all deeply connected. As you’d expect, we’ll pick up where we left off.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! Today we’re going to see how transphobia is lurking, just waiting for us, and all the ways society and those around us co-opt and erase trans voices in THE INTENTIONAL TRANS ALLEGORY OF MATRIX RESURRECTIONS, part 3! Please be sure you’ve read my previous Resurrections threads, and the threads on The Matrix, Reloaded, and Revolutions. You need that context!

Welcome to #TransTuesday! Ready to find out what happens when we start to think we’ve made the biggest mistake of our life? And when we start to realize how our (trans) voices have been erased? Here we go with THE INTENTIONAL TRANS ALLEGORY OF THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS, part 2! As always, please be sure you’ve read not just part 1 of these Resurrections threads, but also the prior threads on The Matrix, Reloaded, and Revolutions, as they all build on each other and have context you’ll need.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! This is the penultimate part of the INTENTIONAL TRANS ALLEGORY OF THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS, aka part 3! This one is all very much about finding and confronting our internalized transphobia. As always, please be sure you’ve read part 1 of these Revolutions threads (as well as the prerequisite threads on The Matrix and Reloaded linked therein):

Welcome to #TransTuesday! This week we begin our examination of the INTENTIONAL TRANS ALLEGORY OF THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS, part 1! I want to caution you that this is even more advanced stuff than Reloaded was. Further, it may be more difficult to understand if you’re cis. You’ve come so far, through two movies and eleven threads to this point, so I hope you’ll stick with me through the end. Though all three movies are INTRINSICALLY trans, and speak to the trans experience, Revolutions feels like the one most made FOR us (though it’s also for you).
