love is everywhere but especially in transgender women

an epidemic of the brokenhearted

You undersell the story of Balki Bartokomous from Mypos

Q is such a catty bitch lol

happy Juneteenth to my black trans and non binary siblings

it doesn't help either that cis people continually make the endless battery of transphobic policymaking about themselves, say we're exaggerating, call us hysterical, etc etc. on a personal level i am the happiest and most fulfilled i have ever been all while society gaslights me about my oppression.

I ain't quoting that NYT piece because I'm sure it is all over your timeline as is But try and imagine how draining it is to have the Supreme Court rip away your basic rights and then the most prominent paper in the country going DAMN WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO YOURSELF after years of stoking hate

NYT spiking the football after Skrmetti is some moldy ass shit

good morning to working with what you’ve got

‘maybe’ is just an alternate universe where the falling stars are just glitter; just thousands of tiny LED lights pouring down from the sky

i don't think most cis people know what it's like for every fun or happy or meaningful moment you experience to be overshadowed by some tragedy affecting your fundamental personhood in some way within 48 hours on either side of it

every time i do my little drugs (therapeutic) i remember how two candles held together create a bigger and brighter single flame, how each and every one of us has our own little eternal light we are meant to share in that way, and how i don’t understand the people who try to snuff that out

well that might be the most comically-timed needle drop for Wherever You Will Go by The Calling

There is a bird and a stone in your body. Your job is not to kill the bird with the stone. —Victoria Chang, from "Love Letters"

“Writing a poem is impossible and once you realize this, you’re free.” -Caroline Bird, The Craft, 2019

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

BREAKING — Mayor Brandon Johnson just announced that he will veto today's "snap curfew" ordinance. “We have made significant progress in our compliance with the consent decree, and now is not time to introduce new measures that could undermine those hard fought gains” thetriibe.com/2025/06/live...

anywho if you feel like doing anything concrete for trans people besides tell us we’re valid you can send me some money to pay for pre-bottom surgery electrolysis here you go

your mom doesn’t warrant higher scrutiny

they would rather have dead kids than alive kids they can't control

A lot of us older trans people didn't even have the conceptual vocabulary to articulate to ourselves that we *were* trans when we were teens. That's a very different experience from living now, in a much more aware society, knowing exactly who you are, and being forced to undergo the wrong puberty.

it's give trans people money day. I'm paying off surgeries and trying to save for a move, any drop in the bucket helps. ko-fi.com/laelaps

i love love and i love sex and i love ginger chicken congee

Jesse Singal should never get another night's sleep

Explaining to them that it will save our life isn't gonna help. They want us dead. There was an absolutely impeccable amicus brief in that case about this. It doesn't matter. None of it matters, they hate knowing that transition is possible, and they will use whatever they need to pretend otherwise.

Her: Why didn't you do the dishes? Me: Dishes are a distraction. We need to focus on the real issue, the vacuuming that I am also not doing.

"The government has a compelling interest in controlling whether your teenager grows breasts or not" is an acrid take from a dimension made of toxic waste

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

I want to scream at and shake vigorously all the wet paper bag liberal trans ppl giving dogshit opinions while tossing out “it gets better”. We’re actively in an authoritarian takeover by weak hateful men with money and no empathy. Tfo with the “accepting our fate” rhetoric.

We should be able to buy adderall, testosterone & estrogen OTC at Walmart while buying a gun should require 6-12 months of intensive therapy beforehand and monthly reapproval from your psychiatrist

Something the Skrmetti decision drives home: "Puberty blockers" should be abandoned as a goal; the goal should be HRT for any minor that wants it; puberty blockers should be a tool for minors who choose themselves they need more time to decide and *nothing else*. Compromising achieved nothing, here
