I get the importance of the transfem community warnings but sometimes I see shit like girls talking other girls out of trying to get their teaching certificates because of the potential for harassment from conservative parents and idk that's very real but also at a certain point we are just doing preemptive hiring discrimination to ourselves

Like on the one hand it is very real that societal transphobia would like to see us all unemployed, forced to do survival sex work. But also that's not the only reality available to us at this point! And sometimes I worry that we are self policing in a way by flooding so many trans girls with this message of "your only options are to get super good at onlyfans or be Raytheon's strongest coder" when like, so many of the women I know are teachers, home care workers, nannies, day care workers, postal workers. Not glamorous, but like, idk the world of lower middle class pink collar jobs is available to us more or less at this point. Other girls have office jobs, some girls have to work food service and retail. But we get to exist in some form besides either NEETs or internet famous porn girls. And obvi hiring discrimination is real, and obvi disability issues come into play for a lot of us that makes a lot of the work I just mentioned inaccessible. I'm not saying things are sweet out there. But there is a world out there where you can live. Maybe not in the exact way you want, maybe not super easily, but you can live.

I know transfem lawyers, construction workers, professional musicians, bartenders, and academics. You can be the reason that another trans person believes the future they dream of is possible. The more trans people enter new fields, the harder it is to target any one of us or say we can't do that job

favorite part of sophie hunter songs is that her lyrics are pretty consistently like. okay i was going to make up some bars but genuinely the bit in mic check where she goes "i do not look good/ i have not been on my grind/ i wish a bitch would not please" is kind of like the peak example of what i mean.

sophie hunter songs are like the sickest beat you've ever heard with lyrics that read like the kind of tumblr post that you make while on your fifteen minute break or perhaps at 10:52 on a weeknight when you probably should be going to bed.

the guy on the boat isnt moby dick, he's actually called "moby dick's monster"

google is it normal to look back on memories and feel as if you're watching someone else entirely
