if you see a trans woman advocating for herself and immediately assume shes transphobic and hates trans men, that is a transphobic bias you have to unlearn. similarly, if you see a trans man advocating for himself and immediately assume hes a transmisogynist, THAT is a transphobic bias you have to unlearn. its natural to want to defend yourself. its natural to find those outside of your personal & relatable group scary. its a survival adaptation. but we are people who are intelligent and capable of recognizing nuance, not animals, and you have to learn to overcome your discomfort and fear at some point. being trans yourself does not shield you from perpetuating bigotry and transphobia toward other people that should be in your community in the first place, and continuing to move through the world with this belief unchallenged is the shit that drives us even further apart than we already have been

women's hockey will never not make me emotional. im crying in public because an openly lesbian woman captained a gold medal winning team, set an all time record and then gets to go home and play hockey in a thriving professional league.

Idk man it’s so easy to get bogged down in all the bullshit online but when my then-6 year old cousin found out I was trans he said “ok” then corrected my grandma when she misgendered me. I was once the third between a gay man and a lesbian. Two lesbians once invited me back to their place when I presented as a man. I met an AMAB nb butch who looked strikingly to outsiders like a cis man and it was one of the more sapphic experiences I’ve had. I nervously wore a boydyke shirt to pride and got 3 different cis-looking femme folks tell me they loved my shirt. I once told a trans group at a protest that any pronouns were fine for me and one person said “wow, I’m impressed and intimidated by people like that. I don’t know that I could be that chill with pronouns.” I once told a GNC friend I wished I could wear a type of “opposite” gender clothing after I had already transitioned and so it would be associated with my AGAB and he said “You could just do it.” I’ve had cishet men fight cops for me before. The first time I had a doctor ask me if my name was different than what was on my forms I had to try not to cry. Last week, a phone call with a doctor’s office where I am generally cis passing asked unprompted if my name listed is what I want to be called. It touched me then too. I told a lesbian friend once I felt like my attraction to men AND women both felt gay. She said “makes sense.” And we moved on. I go by different pronouns in different circles. I’ve had gay women love my facial hair. I’ve had gay men like my tits. It’s all out there, I promise. It can be hard to find it but I promise there is community like you and community who likes you. And it’s more messy and beautiful than tumblr discourse makes it out to be.

my number one piece of advice to you as someone who has been happily in a relationship coming up on a decade now is that someone who loves you should not make you scared to say no

maybe it is just the cat part of me but i have never felt held by someone who decided my boundaries were simply an obstacle to overcome to get what they wanted. and that can be as small as saying 'no i dont have the energy to do this today' but i have found that those who press the small defeats into you expect to do no less when it comes to things that could genuinely hurt you or kill you

(me, insane since the day i was born) sorry haha this has just been an off day for me

tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it

women’s bodies weren’t “made” to do anything, nature didn’t “intend” anything, no human action is “unnatural” and there is no inherent “purpose” to a human life

people weren’t designed to do anything because they weren’t designed at all. Hope this helps 🤩

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?
