So I have so many feelings about how people are treating trans people and I just want to let them out because I don't wanna be silent about this.

So first of all I'm angry at people that are harassing trans people and Jessie one of the kind trans person that is trying to spread the message what are trans people are going through (I watch her videos plus her new video). Harassing someone is not going to solve any problems, please do better.

2. I'm disappointed in people *cough* straigh *cough* that won't try to do reaserch or at least try to understand what is happening. I want to make this clear that those people don't represt me because I'm not like them I'm kind , I'm trying to learn and listen to what trans people have to say.

3. I'm heartbroken that people are that mad at trans people existence trying to live their life that they are willing to KILL them for just being here, this behavior is so fuck up. (I've heard what happend and it broke my heart ). This is violence and violence is always the wrong choice.

4. I do not support Jk Rowling (just wanna make clear if someone is going to ask me).

I know that my blog isn't about those stuff but this is really important and I just want let my thoughs out because I can't just be quiet about this and just do nothing I don't care what your going to think about me. I support trans people and my heart goes to them 🏳️‍⚧️ (I mean it). And I'm so sorry that your going through this because of those assholes but I want you to know your not alone, I'm here to support you no matter what.

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️

But they aren’t getting it. Affirmation and pediatric transitions have a shockingly poor evidence based behind it and big medicine wants its profit. European countries such as Finland, Sweden and England have all done systemic reviews and found the evidence for pediatric transition seriously lacking. Puberty blockers and cross sexed hormones are not as harmless as has been stated and there is no quality evidence that transition decreases the suicide rate. Trans people deserve better!

The fact that shipping Hobie with Gwen and Miles gets so much hate in the superheroes fandom is SO infuriating to me as someone who joined it for the Batfam and still as it as their main fix.Like oh,so NOW you care about if characters possibly see eachother as siblings or even parent and child and wether one might be a minor and the other an adult?Unbelivable,just UN-FUCKING-BELIVABLE

Happy trans day of visibility

#trans day of visibility #trans lives matter #as someone who never fit into gernder norms #as someone who's realised that they're trans and has been living in the closet for three years #I'm slowly pulling at my protective shields to show people who I am #this is going to be a long ass process and I wish I could have done it earlier in life #but better late than never eh? #thank you all for being a safe space and for accepting me and people like me #and to all my trans friends out there? I love you so much. #I know we're facing some hard times atm and I know there's more to come #You deserve to be loved. You deserve to be you. You deserve everything and so much more. #I see you

choice excerpt, emphasis mine:

When Cavanaugh wasn’t killing time on the floor, she and many of her colleagues spent the days rehashing their arguments over the bill and fighting about matters of procedure. They only needed one Republican to vote against the bill for it to fail. All of the Republicans hated the filibuster, but several of them disliked the bill that had prompted it, too. They struggled to understand its relevance. They had campaigned on expanding broadband access, reducing property taxes, making the government more efficient — things they felt actually mattered in the daily lives of their constituents. They hadn’t run for local office because they wanted to take up arms in the culture war, especially not for a cause many of them had never thought about before and didn’t have much interest in thinking about now. “I’ve spent way more brainpower on this than I ever wanted to,” Senator Jana Hughes told me. One day, a freshman senator named Christy Armendariz led me to a bench in an empty hallway. She found it puzzling that a reporter from New York would come all the way to Nebraska to cover this affair. “I don’t watch the news or get the newspaper,” she said. “Is there anything going on I should be aware of?” I mentioned that other states had passed similar bills and that a federal appeals court in the same circuit as Nebraska had ruled one of them unconstitutional. “So is it a big widespread thing?” she asked. As far as she could tell, ordinary Nebraskans did not know about the issue. “I knocked doors for a year, and nobody brought this up.” She said she wished the bill had never been introduced.

state-level politicians are often, lbr, kinda dipshitty, but the wounded-deer-routine of oh-deary-me-i-can’t-possibly-know-anything-about-the-news is the exact type of dipshittery that particularly makes me go “aaaargh” and tear out my damn hair

and i find it extra annoying since i honestly believe you don’t have to be some hyper-lefty bleeding-heart to oppose this (vile) bill.  there’s a very solid, boring, small-c conservative case to be made against it, on the basis of, “why the fuck is the state senate passing laws prohibiting stuff that should really be left to the judgment of a doctor and their patients, the AMA and board certification and malpractice suits already exist to cover Actual Medical Abuses and this is not that, nuke the damn bill”

(and i don’t think that reasoning would even be particularly out of step with their base!  people like their local representatives, and “keep Big Government TM out of your child’s health decisions” is the kind of thing that markets well in that area, etc)

anyway, if anyone could make that case & weather whatever blowback came of it, it’d be a self-avowedly "not even into the bill in the first place” state senator who’s coming up against their own term limit anyway, who need not be especially accountable to the national party, and who works in a state where senators are very explicitly a part-time not-well-renumerated thing (so, like, worst-case scenario, you get primaried out of office—boo hoo, oh no your measly 12k a year is gone, seriously just get another part-time gig it’ll be fine)...

...buuut they’ve apparently all got jell-o spines and/or blackened coals for hearts, so,,,

#i don't uh politicspost much but. #this article was really good and well-written #and also the wave of anti-trans stuff happening really sucks and i hate it. for the record #like florida is an achingly beautiful state and i have a ton of fond memories there and its people deserve so much better. #anyway yeah

[uncanny-tranny]

I always feel like a broken record for saying this, but there is literally no form of transphobia that is acceptable. All transphobia is harmful - all forms of bigotry toward a group for features they cannot change (in this case, being trans) is harmful. It doesn't matter what gender a trans person is, it doesn't matter if they are a Good Person, it doesn't matter if you like them or want to see them happy. None of that matters because transphobia is transphobia is transphobia.

it's so funny (read: sad) that if bigoted fuckheads didn't insist i was a woman simply by virtue of my body at birth, i'd probably be chill with she/her pronouns in addition to he/they. if my mom didn't insist i was her daughter, i'd probably let her call me that, and we could still have a relationship.

i'm nonbinary and 'gendered' words are hypothetically meaningless, but because there are so many people who are more interested in telling me who i am rather than lovingly and curiously letting me express my own sense of self, those words carry trauma.

there's no reason a nonbinary person like myself can't be a son and a child and a daughter. there's no reason a nonbinary person like me can't go by he, they, and she.

'she' is not a slur. 'daughter' is not derogatory. 'beautiful' 'pretty' 'gorgeous' 'feminine' are not insults.

to the contrary, they're parts of language that express certain facets of a multi-faceted human existence, like mine.

and i have this sad, mournful feeling that if it weren't for unloving, condescending people, i'd probably be down to be called any of those things alongside my usual masculine/neutral terminology.

but i'd rather die than let anyone tell me what i have to be called.

#i try to reclaim 'feminine' words for myself in private #calling myself 'babygirl' when i need to chill out. or saying i feel pretty. or going 'she needs help' when i'm struggling lmao. #but there's still so much fucking trauma in those words from the people who've forced them on me #who've snarled in my face that GOD made me ONE THING and ONE THING ONLY and that's a WOMAN (stepdad) #who've guilted me for taking their precious perfect daughter away as if i'm fucking dead (mother) #who've mocked me and everyone like me as if we're not the experts on our own sense of self (general transphobic public) #like. i'm not a fucking man. i'm not a fucking woman. i'm nonbinary. gender is absurdity as a concept. i'm done with it. #but being called a man or a son or a guy or 'he' or WHATEVER in that vein is fine and dandy because i've never had anyone say #'that is all you can EVER be'. or worse: 'that is what GOD made you to be and you have a ROLE to fill' #(christianity pls die approximately yesterday thanku 💖) #so yeah. idk. ranting yet again about Cis Audacity. #the complete lack of empathy. the lack of curiosity even. #the condescending bullshit. the 'i understand you better than you do'. the fucking AUDACITY. #i am the expert on myself. i am the ONLY expert on myself. period. no contest. not a debate. #i understand myself better than anyone else is CAPABLE of understanding me. #i could call myself 'she' and understand that i meant it in a nonbinary way. #in fact i could even see myself letting other trans people call me feminine terms at some point in the future. when i've healed more. #but cis people? probably not. they can call me 'he' or 'they' or they can fuck off & never get to know me because they don't wanna know ME #/end rant #any terfs/bigots that try to touch this post will be swiftly blocked and quite possibly cursed. have the day you deserve <3

Why the FUCK are Southerners under the impression they're even welcomed on the internet ANYMORE????? Sorry but this is genuinely fucking rancid I feel fucking unsafe knowing that my spaces are being invaded by you fucking people. Fucking disgusting that it's 2024 and we can't hold piece of shit racists and Confederate nazis accountable for literal fucking war crimes and slavery anymore.

hey man. whats going on. this is such a weird thing to say to someone else on the internet life would be so beautiful if you stepped outside and talked to a real person for once. btw did you know the south is mostly full of poor people and black people and acting as if being from a place makes a person inherently a bigot is very weird almost as if it's pushing a classist narrative. Thats so wacky lol

#sorry i got this out on discord #but other parts of america love to pin ALLLL of their bigotry and crimes on the south. racism misogyny homophobia etc #so they dont have to reflect on themselves and do introspection as to what theyre doing wrong. bc make no mistake its rampant other places #<- europe does this with america too. lol. lmfao #but other places love to act like they're educating or modernizing or fixing the south when they just. want to turn it into where they #came from. when they move here and buy up all the cheap land and skyrocket prices and chop down huge swathes of forest #to build solar panels for 'eco friendly energy' despite THOUSANDS of acres of wood lost. #and its so weird that a lot of these attitudes about being better than them inherently and being lesser human beings are pushed in every ot #er area of the country. its almost as if its long rooted classism and racism #there are queer people living in the south. trans people. people of color. you cant just tell us all to leave to be redeemed #we deserve to live safe lives AND not have to leave behind everything we've ever known. what if we dont have the money?? #but i guess you dont care abt that. lol.

I have some kind of appreciation for trans people (aka I be like "you deserve something better than this world") that I don't even think I can say I go under their umbrella. Ya can leave me in the rain, you need it more than me, oh poor lovely creature.

#/srs #I believe gender fluid people go under the trans umbrella but not me????? #I'm not worthy of being under the same umbrella as trans people #they deserve better #this is for my trans mutuals and every trans people ever #I like you guys a lot and I would give every one of you a big comforting hug (if you're comfortable) #trans #kv random stuff #trans appreciation

[pansyboybloom]

I know southerners like to joke about 'bless your heart' and passive-aggressive southern politeness or the rigid expectations of southern hospitality, but one of these days we're really gonna have to discuss how the expectation of politeness, 'hospitality', and southern manners are used to uphold harmful hierarchies, especially pertaining to the gender and sexual binary. in the south, politeness is used as a weapon against trans and gender nonconforming people, and it's time to seriously talk about this instead of joking about how hard it is to say mx/mxter with a southern drawl

#the amount of people who use immediate and purposeful misgendering #as a way to fit the southern expectation of politeness #and more importantly #to put trans and gnc in our place #is revolting #southern queers deserve better

Fuck this country.

Brianna Ghey deserved better. She deserved a full and happy life. Her friends and family deserved to watch her grow up. They all deserved so many more memories together.

I didn’t have the privilege of meeting Brianna, and I don’t know her circumstances or what precisely lead to her murder. But I do know that young trans people in this country are being severely let down, and I know that the impact of Brianna’s death will be felt across the UK and beyond.

I’m a youth worker with a local queer organisation. The young trans people we work with are carrying so much more than any young person should be. They’re constantly being let down by schools, by doctors, by family members, by social workers and by and all of the adults who should be supporting them to live their best lives. I’ve seen young people full of so much potential fall out of mainstream education because of bullying that isn’t addressed by schools, or in some cases legitimised by transphobic adults in positions of power. Even the most supported and loved young people are dealing with so much.

And these young people see how the media talks about them. They see how hard people are trying to prevent them accessing medical care, legal recognition, and to make it impossible for them to just getting on with their lives. And it affects every single one of them.

And at the end of the day, they’re just kids. They make TikTok's, they create art, they tell jokes and dye their hair and play video games. They’re having their first relationships and figuring out who they want to be. They do homework and revise for exams. That’s all these young people are asking for – the chance to be a kid on their own terms. And currently in the UK they don’t get that.
