Y’know, I really empathize with the duck in the duck walks into a bar joke. Grapes *are* awesome.

It’s only humiliating if they care.

So I had a very positive consult for vaginoplasty. But…. 1) do I want this? and 2) aftercare and maintenance sound rough. Doc was nothing but clear just… it’s scary and I’m not sure why I want it. I think I’d feel more valid but I also think that might be transphobic brain worms. Argh.

I’d like a moment without moderate fear. Just a moment. It hasn’t been a month.

This should be exceedingly obvious, but when Stonewall stays up while references to trans people come down, they will measure the silence of cisgender people as concurrence for whatever they plan next, and it still won't protect you in the end. So please get loud. Our mutual survival depends on it.

Describe yourself using 5 things that are probably in your purse/backpack at any given moment. One of my random lip glosses or tints. AirPods Blotting papers or makeup wipes but never the one I need Some random toy of my kid’s A charge cable — again not the one I need.

Today I have: * been called sir by the postman handing me my mail. I was in a woman’s full length, red nails and a ponytail. * blew my voice appointment because I put it on my calendar wrong. * been pulled on to a call to be scolded for something my boss said. No more.

I am guessing low.

Pointy finally came!

It’s an unfair prejudice perhaps but if I see a pfp of a guy with Oakleys and facial hair, I brace for him to be a total chud.

The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

My fitted sheet is a switch.

If anyone claims that the current anti-trans panic was caused in any part by trans people advocating for our human rights, that person is lying through their teeth. The religious right lost on marriage equality, and immediately started going after trans people instead. That's what happened.

Why no, no I will not deadname myself while trying to schedule a consult. No, I don’t care if I may have a previous record. (I did not.)

enough is enough. democratic leadership in congress needs to act now and text me saying they need five to ten dollars

me bleeding out on a street corner: please help. why are u just standing there. im dying emt with a pride flag pin and 'joy is resistance' patch: wow. thats a little rude and kind of aggressive? youve just lost an ally

If something is “very clear,” someone arguing the point doesn’t need to say it. Jesus didn’t weep when he read this, he swore.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Not okay. Therapy tomorrow thank god but like…. Not sure how much it can do.

“Stay angry, little Meg,” Mrs Whatsit whispered. “You will need all your anger now.”

This is a moment for John Sheridans. Sadly all we’ve got are Chuck Schumers.

- defends myself (in pretty tame fashion) from sexual harassment in a DM - gets a warning from the bsky t&s team - complains about this absurd misapplication of "safety" - gets the post labeled as "rude" unserious webbed site lol

Just a trans women going to the bathroom at work so people can’t see me tearing up.
