Professional Lesbian

living in northern virginia near quantico and dahlgren was an exoerience. lotta current and former military queer folk there and boy do they have some views

before my egg cracked, i had noticed that trans people were often pro-accessibility and up-to-date on the needs of disabled people, but i hadn’t seen any inherent connection between the two (other than the obvious minority-looking-out-for-other-minority thing). but now that i’m trans and medically transitioning, and i have to constantly repeat myself while talking to doctors and nurses, and explain things about my own anatomy to medical staff who should already know this, and having every single problem i might have blamed on my “condition” so nothing i say is taken seriously, all of the sudden i have a little sneak peak into the life of someone who has to deal with this all the time. like shit bro, being disabled probably sucks ass, someone should do something about this

happy disability pride month, we all deserve autonomy and respect and access to medication

daily affirmation: im a pretty little princess and nice women want to torture me in cute ways

you have to love the tgirl but you have to let her love you back too

I struggle so much with this even 5 years in. I'm not entirely sure I'll ever get over that sense of being a creep and unwanted, but I'm trying to embrace the fact that there are people in my life who love me and want me.

you have to love the tgirl but you have to let her love you back too

I will never not reblog this

please make sure your transfem friends don’t get excluded. please listen to their needs.

You should do more than just listen, actually. You need to ask her. You need to go up to her and ask her about things you can do to include her. We are taught to take up as little space as possible, you need to go out of your way to account for that.

I'm not even nearly as anti-LLM as most other leftists but part of approaching new technology is "hey let's think real critically about the application and scope of this so we can use it in ways that are worth it and don't cause mass scale societal damage" but the fact that it's being injected into fucking EVERYTHING makes any stance more cautious than "USE LLMS FOR EVERYTHING NOW AND FOREVER" so much more anti than the status quo that I don't even fucking want to add nuance

we can talk nuance when the machines are dead

a new kind of angel has come to earth it's called transgender woman in her 30s

for a transgender woman your 20s are for struggling and suffering and clinging to the tiny scraps of joy you've foraged. they're for watching your life burn down and then rebuilding it and watching it burn down again and wondering if it will ever stop burning down. it doesn't feel like it will ever end, but after lying in your despair enough times you will start to notice that the scraps you've been collecting are forming a modest little pile. and, though you're left again with nothing but those little gold flecks, they are what will form into your halo when you turn 30

I love you

After some years of HRT I've been left with this deep, low simmering rage. Because what do you mean it was always this easy to be happy

And if anyone comes swinging in here with "but Sierra you don't have to take HRT to be trans this is toxic" I'm going to fucking scream, because that is the status quo. "Just do this without doing this" has become a "give them an inch" refrain when making ourselves "acceptable" to the cis. Of COURSE you don't need to take HRT. I'm only reminded of it a dozen times a day.

Try HRT, just try it. I beg you, you'll never know if you dont. The whole world is out there fighting to keep us off it. HRT is truly life changing in ways I cannot describe.

No more waiting, no more debating, go get your hrt. "I don't know if I'm really trans!" You are. Now go. "I'm scared!" We all were. Now go. "There's a long wait to be seen!" Go get your name on the list then. DIY if you need. "What if my friends don't accept me?" They weren't really your friends. Now go. "What if my spouse doesn't accept me?" Get a divorce. Now go. You do not need to continue to live in agony and depression to pretend to be someone else. Go get your hrt.

insane how many of you will just assume that a trans woman has a penis, and that it wouldn't be something she might have any dysphoria about

Thats one thing I struggled with after bottom surgery. A lot of transfem identity being around a part I no longer had made me feel like an outsider to a part of the community. I eventually got over it but it took me completely by surprise
