Remember: You haven’t missed your chance. There is no deadline on becoming who you want to be. The door hasn’t closed. In fact, some of your best ones haven’t opened yet.

The "crisis of masculinity" that everyone wrings their hands over is that our notion of masculinity is explicitly based in violence and has to be literally beaten into kids, but we've progressed to the point where openly beating kids is frowned upon.

Is it normal when beginning to transition to suddenly fiercely want to live your life more than ever but also simultaneously be strangely at peace with the concept of death and stop obsessing existentially the way you have been ever since puberty? Asking for a friend

Looking across the papers today, anti-trans rights commentators and politicians also seem to be the ones opposing making abortion legal. It shouldn’t be a shock to anyone - they’re against bodily autonomy. For everyone.

AGP theory is wild to me because when I was in the stage of my life where I was fetishizing my identity compulsory bi/het fantasies were part of that package. Once my egg cracked and I realized that being a lesbian was actually an option to me those previous feelings just evaporated completely.

I don't really know what to think about the Sabrina Carpenter album cover. The part that really strikes me is that it's so artificial to the point of being almost anti-erotic, a hollow pantomime of sexual submission. Does that make it sad self-censored posturing or is it deconstruction?

I'm a feminist, so I want to protect women's spaces by making sure no one is allowed to bring a penis into one. You can open carry an AR-15 into the women's room though, bullets are chivalrous enough not to hurt women.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

hate that I have to keep re-upping this, but STUDY AFTER STUDY has shown that TRANS PPL POSE NO THREAT to cis ppl in restrooms & other sex-segregated spaces, those studies are detailed in this essay: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-... which has been adapted into this video: youtu.be/nK41ePuOmzY

Now would be a really good time for cis allies to start wearing trans pride badges and make it even more impossible for the toilet police to determine who is and isn’t trans

Why are people homophobic/transphobic? THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS. They don't know what being in love or making love is. Who you are & who you love is clinical & prescribed to them. So "we feel differently than you" just doesn't compute because, to them, your feelings have nothing to do with it.

Random childhood memory: when I was 10, when we were covering current events in class I had to raise my hand and ask "What's 'gay'?" in response to a story on Don't Ask Don't Tell. The entire class laughed at me; I, the sheltered socially awkward nerd, was the only one who didn't know.
