so, puppets a homeless and disabled trans woman, and it cant work, has been couch crashing, and has been living purely off donations from tumblr as they keep terminating it. and now on top of that, it is living with its girlfriend, @phantomqueen10001001! while this has been great for both of us,, puppet already only has enough money for food for the next 1-2 weeks, and we both really need to eat. and so we would really appreciate if anyone could help!

puppet has a paypal here, and cassie has one here.

also, in august we are going to lose our current crash spot, and we need to look for another, but we're very disconnected in the city.. if anyone here knows anyone in seattle who needs a roommate or who could give us a place to stay for a while,,

we'd really really appreciate any help.

Please donate if you can, and if you can't, please share this post so it might reach people who can. Thank you so much for any and all support <3

hi! we're a homeless, indigenous, disabled system and we're making this post because one of our partners needed emergency dental surgery and now we need whatever financial help we can get. they went to the er because the emergency dental place was closed when they needed it, and i don't even know how much the er cost. all they managed to do was prescribe painkillers and antibiotics.

anyway, we and all of our partners are homeless, and earlier the car we were using to work for doordash had something in the engine blow, so we have no means of making our own money anymore.

we're all working on getting all the bureaucratic shit we need together to apply for ssi (again), food stamps (again), and other services. several people in the polycule need new ids, which are turning out to take a lot of time.

if you can, please help us. we're collectively at the end of our resources and options and anything that could go towards our hotel stay or food would be incredibly appreciated.

And it's not like a plot point of their character, they're just treated normally or (audible gasp) appreciated for being fat

i'm thinking extra hard about how we've ended up where we are, with trans kids at the center of so much hatred, because children are not seen as people with interiority or an ability to narrate their own experiences. we've decided it's alright to lock children up for horrible diagnoses that psychs throw around like they're nothing, to strip their autonomy completely and force them through humiliation, invasions of privacy, and endless torment by "professionals" whose power over every waking moment of their lives has no end. these things cannot be separated.

And as an aside we have seen how 'straight' straight men are...so I don't even need to go there.

But straightness in women is...weird because it comes along with some very odd behaviors that make no sense and seem to appear in relationship with the degree to which a person participates in a patriarchal colonial culture.

I saw a vid the other day of a woman doing that 'what I wore vs what he wore to the event' vids. This type of video features a woman properly dressed up for a 'going out' event like a party or dinner date, and then shows their partner dressed like an overgrown 11 year old boy about to run around in the neighborhood streets.

Stretched out tee, random sneakers, stupid jorts, maybe a baseball cap. Mentally absent look on his face.

The 'joke' is that the woman looks great and put effort into her appearance and the man didn't....Because 'men' never do?

But here's the thing: I'm bi. The men I'm attracted to have never, EVER fucking done this.

I only date bi ppl, so I only date bi men.

Straight women will share about how their husbands are gross, can't clean, don't know where anything is...

.....AND consistently tolerate this bullshit, childish behavior from their 'life partner'.

They will date men who are boring, uninteresting, borderline mean, and then be 'surprised' when they find out he didn't really like them...but it was kind of obvious and what's more, how did they even like him?

DID they like him? Or is straightness 80% comp het?

Because when you exist within a narrative that mandates genders appear a certain way and behave a certain way despite what thousands of years of human behaviour show, then you're really just accepting the NARRATIVE and not an embodied experience of attraction.

I think about the commonly repeated discrepancy between male and female orgasm-- women orgasm with women, men orgasm with men (not like that matters much, statistically), men orgasm with women, but women hardly orgasm at all in straight relationships....

But I am very curious if that holds true in BISEXUAL relationships because again....I have never ever experienced this personally. Not to say that my exception breaks the rule, but ...I'm not straight. And I think that matters.

I saw a white woman get online as maybe some (dubious) sex educator to talk about the vagina and how most of the nerve endings are in the clitoris and labia (true! great!) and so few are in the vaginal canal (ok..!) that penetration 'barely feels like anything'.

Bitch. Pause.

Because coming back to straightness, that'sn some shit white people literally invented, and now skinny white women get to sit up here on podcasts selling their 'happy O' courses talking about how penetration 'isn't enjoyable'....

I think about the straps and dicks I've ridden, and I'm truly confused.

I also think about the layers of sexual repression that women are forced into, levels that are even more maintained depending on how white and straight you continue to be, and how vaginisimus and orgasmic dulling coincide with said repression.

I think about the long history of Black women singing writing and rapping about sex and how much they enjoy it, and having to fight back at people -- largely white!!! -- who have shamed us for doing just that, now saying penetration isn't enjoyable anyway.

Would we be rapping about it this way if that was true? Would y'all be so mad at Meghan if that was true?

The same women who make excuses for being with men that don't like to talk to them, the same women that have to be coached into expressing their desires in the bedroom, the same women whose lives revolve around shitty men, the same women who just accept that your 'husband' will dress himself like a fucking 8 year old who doesn't wanna leave the house....these are not the women, I don't think, who are in any position to tell me jack fucking shit about sexuality.

Straightness in general, but for the sake of this discussion, in women, seems to heavily be a performance of not only tolerating unattractiveness from men but actively pursuing and celebrating it. The woman who comes online to 'joke' about how her husband packed her dog food for lunch, who shows of how poorly he dresses for an event they are both attending as adults, who ignores her desire for a partner with charm, attentiveness and the ability to self express and gladly parades her lack of acquisition of a partner in lieu of having an oversized, boring, smelly child at her side.

I'm sorry, that's not natural.

I think of the woman who went on a vacation to Italy with her husband and showed how, after day 3, he went from dressing like an 'american man' (again the childish/lazy/everywhere-is-walmart-and-also-a-gym look USAmericans are known for) to an 'italian man' i.e. an adult in a crisp linen button down, well-fitting slacks and leather sandals.

And I think, that's the thing; do your husbands look like lazy shit bc they are men?

Or because they are USAmerican-breed 'straight' men? I.e. unfashionable and ungroomed....and you've been trained to like that?

Because it's not at all universal.

trans women can't do anything about this. if they try to argue back, they're framed as AMAB freaks wielding their male privilege by the people who are attacking them. it's an unwinnable situation because trans women, as a class, are not capable of oppressing the people who are ideologically dumping them. it's happening in droves in "AFAB queer spaces" by covert TERFs who are literally recruiting them. it's low key incredibly terrifying to see.

Human rights organizations, genocide scholars, and advocates warn that the United States is in the early stages of a genocidal process against transgender people. Experts point to an escalating wave of hostile state legislation, restrictions on gender-affirming care, and public rhetoric aimed at eradicating trans identity from public life.

there was a recent ruling (6 days ago as of my posting this) that states can exclude TRANS WOMEN AND GIRLS SPECIFICALLY from sports teams. this gives LEGAL PRECEDENCE for states to, specifically, discriminate against trans females (in this sense, meaning transsexual women and girls).

i can't write in third person about this anymore because this is terrifying.

we're being sent to men's prisons. those prairieland protestors, including two trans women, got sentenced to 556 total years in prison, essentially life sentences, for "left wing terrorism." in mens prisons we are systematically raped and murdered, including, often times, by the guards.

this shit with the TME qweerz is actively dangerous because its peeling off part of the overall trans community to be used to isolate us. it is an obvious ploy by TERFs to remove the few people who have generally been our allies so that we are more vulnerable. do you think these people don't have think tanks funding these things? they are trying to eliminate trans women from society. the president of the united states has explicitly said such.
