I hate the phrase "he or she" in academic texts. Like come on, we have a pronoun for when someone's gender is unknown or unspecified, its they. You don't need to do "he or she" at all. Its just worse than "they" in every way.
Now if your gender is "he or she", then that's a lot cooler
i have never understood why people struggle so much with saying 'people' instead of 'men and women'. it's literally less words
fox news: the school nurse is giving kids bottom surgery if they ask nicely
actual school nurse: i literally cannot give you an ibuprofen or else the entire school district is getting sued to kingdom fuck
Bah. I spent decades of my life trying to force myself to stay in the closet and no amount of repression could keep me in there, and most trans people can claim the same. Does Trump think he can force us back in with a few executive orders? He has no idea who he's dealing with
Depressing stuff
He doesn’t think anything about us really. He just says and does whatever makes his supporters go wild for him. Many years ago he even made the news for overturing a ban for a trans beauty pageant from his Miss Universe organization.
It’s honestly depressing to think that all of this dehuminization is just an act to boost his own ego and to keep himself in power, all fueled by our blood.
depressing/doomer
He just says and does whatever makes his supporters go wild for him.
This violence is only being done because it is popular. Thinking about all the people who support this, or are okay with it happening makes me doom even more then the idea of one evil person. It isn't trump, its a lot of the people in society around us. Most people support (at least some parts of) this.
going to start the trans equivalent of the japanese red army and start stringing up transphobes from traffic lights :3
i may doompost later so to balance that out here is my cute taco kitty
Came out to my brother and he was super supportive. Just crying tears of joy and relief.
Got tucking underwear on Monday, have worn it every evening since. Felt gender euphoria for the first time on Monday
It's funny how a week after fucking with trans people's passports, air travel becomes unsafe in general
I'm pan and nonbinary and trans feminine
You all know that already but just felt like reiterating
Behold! As of today, I’m both biologically and legally female. So fuck you, fascists! Victory is mine!
doomposting
you ever feel the need to just rot in bed all day and not do anything because whats the point in doing anything if the world is careening off a cliff with the pedal welded to the proverbial floor?
She who makes a beast out of herself gets rid of the pain of being a man
The beast in question:

the state government here are pulling a terf island and pausing puberty blockers from being prescribed through the public system for under 18's
since there was literally already a review done last year (that found kids were in no way being coerced into hormone treatment but instead that wait lists were way too fucking long - at 577 days for some patients), i'm guessing this is just an excuse to defer to the Cass review. i kinda guessed something like this would happen soon but shit's really making me want to
Today I experienced that awkward situation where people will start spouting transphobic opinions without knowing you're trans. Funnily enough, one of them was the guy I recently went on a date with😬 I almost want to tell him I'm trans just to fuck with him as he's very interested in meeting up again, but I'm just going to break it off and luckily I'll likely never see him again as he's a few semesters ahead of me and the course we are currently on together is basically finished😅
Going on a date on thursday, I'm so nervous🙈🙈🙈 First time I've been asked out by someone I met IRL, although he most likely doesn't know I'm trans, so I'm not excited for that conversation😖 Idk what to expect😫
Wondering how my family will react to me being in a butchfemme relationship where I’m the femme.
i've made 5 or 6 attempts to write a post now so i'll just keep it simple:
GAY
privileged question
which countries should I be trying to nudge my family towards if shit ramps up untenably in the states. they're considering the UK primarily atm so I absolutely have to find a different avenue if we are to pack and abscond
I somehow drummed up the courage to get fitted for a bra at a local boutique. Holy actual fuck what am I doing? I'm terrified.
Clothes are fun. They should be free for trans people for the first few years of transition.
Bit idea: when a cis guy talks about having a vasectomy, refer to it as bottom surgery.
venting about transphobia
It’s fucked up and annoying how people who as recently as a couple years ago were hardcore anti-feminists (and probably still are, but just aren’t as vocal about it) suddenly spouting TERF talking points and pretending they give a shit about “protecting women”
I wish there was HRT that made you less wide
Tbh, I wish HRT worked the way it does in something like Trials in Tainted Space.
Where it’s like a delicious candy and it rapidly alters your bones and muscles and can turn you completely cis if you overdose.
Are my nipples supposed to feel kinda sore on week 2 of the good shit or am I placeboing nipple tenderness?
Well, I wasted a fair number of syringes and a couple doses getting it right (I think I got it right...), but I completed my first intramuscular EV dose!
The woke left doesn't want you to know this but you can just make your own gender and make a flag only you use and be sick as hell
All I have playing in my head is, what am I supposed to do.
I feel like crying but I can't.
discussions of transphobia
how to tell a cis person that trans people should be allowed to compete in sports because sports are arbitrary competitions they've attached excessive weight to and they should get over it
::: spoiler need some advice (cw institutional transphobia)
Just saw something from a person saying they went to renew their expired passport and werr told that they could not be issued a passport, under any gender marker, because they updated their marker with social security.
Ive done that, and have a passport thats still valid for a couple more months now. Am I facing a de facto travel ban? I think i am, but im really unsure.
I started doing voice training exercises, and it feels really good and I’m already seeing changes and I’m crying a bunch.
Does anyone have tips for not having to keep stopping to yawn?
So like how do you best come out to someone (when dating)? How early in the process? Like I'm semi-stealth it seems, so idk how to go about it😩
I’d probably do it early instead of potentially wasting time and getting attached to someone it might not workout with.
Plus if they are inclined to take it badly, they might read you waiting so long as a way to “manipulate” them.
Yeah I think that's the best course of action. The first date is tomorrow so in any case I'll see how that goes before deciding on anything. I just hate that I even have to think about and deal with situations such as these😭😭😭
