i dont think we need to pretend "why cant you just be xyz" from cis queer people (or, far more often than people like to admit, other trans people who date closet cases) is about some abstract push for good queer representation or whatever. it is about exactly the same thing that leads to straight people saying it. sexual availability and control over someone. when a gay guy tells a trans woman, or a lesbian tells a trans guy, or etc, that they should consider being a cis gnc person, it is a desire to have sexual access to that trans person. it is knowing transition could mean they stop being willing to be told what to do with their life and body, including no longer being sexually available to people who want to tell them what to do with those.

hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.

white people need to be banned from southeast asia unless a local can vouch that they're normal like im sick of the holistic wellness island retreat authenticity new age mystic third eye opening faux kundalini tantric interpretive dance island gentrification sex tourism self discovery shit they're always doing posting videos in elephant print sarongs writhing to shitty edm in the jungle somewhere in thailand ive had enough

I don't know who needs to hear this, but do not ever, ever, ever let someone guilt you into not transitioning. "But you're so pretty! You'll ruin your lovely body!" "But you're my [son/daughter/boyfriend/girlfriend/mom/dad/etc.]; I can't see you any other way!" "But we need more [badass butch lesbians/women in STEM/etc.] to show women that they can do anything!" "But we need good men like you to promote healthy masculinity!" <- None of these are reasons not to transition. Transition is for you, not for others. Other peoples' indignation or sadness over your transition is not your burden to bear, and other peoples' expectations for you are not moral obligations you must fulfill. Do not live to fit inside a prescribed role in somebody else's life. You must live for yourself. Please transition.

huge fan of when cats reach out and touch each other with disrespectful intent

i’m always thinking about that news story where a three year old boy who wandered away from his house and ended up in the middle of the woods was found by this local great pyrenees farm dog who herded the kid back to his unrelated owners house. and the guy was like. whose kid is this

that dog must have been like. hmm. this isn’t a goat. some human must have left their puppy behind by accident. i have to bring this to management. surely my owner will be able to sort out whatever has occurred. that kid was like i’m all alone and scared and omg a big fluffy puppy is here to help. and that fucking farmer looking at his dog like. who’s toddler did you steal???

sometimes people will insist a character is butch/masc and then you look at the character and they’re just fat. or muscular. or black. or indigenous. or some combination of the above.

well-written women who narratively suck are like crack cocaine to me. hello shitty little woman do you need some crumbs of love that you've clearly never been given? lol

i go on bluesky until the liberals piss me off, i go on tumblr until the communists piss me off, i go on twitter until the bitchy reactionary girls and gays piss me off

hello trans black people? Please keep existing ♡
