“Safety for children” will always be used as a dog-whistle for the worst kind of actual violence against trans people. The reaction of the American mind is well-studied by bigots to make their most convincing arguments. Doesn’t matter if it lacks any factual info, fear is a more powerful motivator.

Unfriendly reminder to not be weird about genitals, trans men are deeply affected by barriers to access in reproductive health care, and that whiteness/capitalism/ableism will destroy us all if the thought of caring for men is devoid from our movements

I celebrated my 4-year HRT tranniversary this week and wrote a love letter to men ♥️ Letter shown in screenshot below + transcribed in ALT text.

I'm so profoundly grateful to the people who are just plugging away and fighting back in so many different kinds of ways. Bless you.

A love letter to trans people, to trans youth. You are worth my very life.

Each of us can focus on what we can do.

Until this society reckons with the fact that cisgender women are capable of perpetrating abuse, sexual and otherwise, and that trans women are frequent targets of said abuse, patriarchy will continue to dominate us all.

“The liberal establishment has not raised the alarms. Worse, they have often served as the right’s complicit partner, oblivious to the precedents that Trump is now inheriting: broader police power, unaccountable presidential power, generalized repression, and gross restrictions on speech.”

“Clemency should not be a lottery held once every four years but recognized for what it is: a mechanism for correcting the unjust results which our criminal legal system manufactures.”Categorical clemency offers new approach for incarcerated women to seek pardons & commutations, Tamar Sarai writes.

Healed tattoo thread 💝🗡️ Healed photos are invaluable for both the client and artist. It’s an essential learning tool for me. For prospective clients, seeing an artist’s tattoos lived in should be a major determining factor in deciding who to trust with your body.

What do you hold sacred? ❤️‍🔥
