What we seek, however, is not power over people, but the power of control of our own destiny:
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

i just want to take a moment to say how much i love trans joy and happiness. all of my trans people i love you. you radiate light and love and positivity without even knowing it. i’m sorry the world can be so mean and full of hate sometimes, and i’m sorry you don’t always get what you deserve . one day you will get everytging you deserve and even more and i pray you’re all here for that to happen. i love you so much and the world is so much more of a better place with every single trans person in it. you deserve to be celebrated and appreciated and loved and i’ll do that if no one else will. i love you and i hope you all have a great day.
my heart genuinely aches thinking of trans people feeling like they don’t belong or the world would be better without them. that’s not true at all pleaseeeee do not believe that and if you need support or love i’m here idc who you are trans people i love you so much i could cry
on the surprisingly common idea that terfs/“gender critical” folks support trans men and don’t actually hate us, they just see us as misguided women and something to pity, and still include us in their feminism:
“It takes a complete lack of empathy to say you’re including trans men in the liberation of “females”, when you call them things like, “mutilated”, and “disgusting”. “Surgical mutants,” “a young lesbian … with a rancid cavity attached to a likely twisted and depraved man’s body”. Fuck you. Like…fuck you. […] It becomes very clear that the gender critical movement holds extreme animosity and disgust for trans men, despite their claims that they support them for being adult human females.”
im trans, ftm, came out at 15 years ago, been on T for almost 2 years, top surgery in August !!!
(you can donate to help me pay off my surgery bill by August 15, a good way to celebrate today if you ask me)
Trans people (trans punks specifically) go fucking crazy and i’ll beat the shit out of you if you think otherwise ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Im also ex-mormon, i was raised orthodox even for mormons, so my experience as a trans person has been uniquely painful. but there is life post mormonism!!
I live in a cutesy little apartment in the city with the love of my life!
We have a cat!
He dated me before I started T and has only gotten more attracted to me, he gets secondhand gender euphoria through my medical transition. (And he’s cis, there is hope for dating cis guys)
Im in the second year of my graphic design program! I have a job I love! I have good friends!
There is hope, and I’m living the life I dreamed of as a boy at 15.
White feminist and terfs shut the fuck up challenge
In all seriousness tho were yall dropped on your fucking heads or something? The woman is talking about HER experience with girl hood not fucking everyone else's experience, like does she need to add "this is my experience in girl hood as a trans woman but I know each experience is different" to the song in order for yall to get that? I swear white women want the spotlight all to themselves and assume this song is about them and cry their white tears like they do with everyone else. THIS SONG ISNT ABOUT YOU HOW CLEAR DOES DYLAN HAVE TO FUCKING MAKE THAT not to mention cis woman make self depreciating stereotypical "I'm just a girl 🥺🎀" jokes all the fucking time, but when a trans woman makes a song about her girlhood just so happened to experience typical femininity you want to tear her down, as if trans woman aren't (most of the time not always-) socially forced to fit stereotypical femininity in order for society to deem them as "passing" fuck yall I hate tik tok "feminist"
Edit: here's some of the lyrics
The term "dolls" is for trans woman and she saying girls like me obviously talking about trans woman YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO BASIC UNDERSTANDING BRO 💀 SHE WAS NEVER TALKING ABOUT YALL, Yall just want to be part of a conversation you ain't even apart of let alone the topic.
