Woman. Demon. Empress.

Except I clicked on the article and was proven wrong!! Google DID use the right picture! The full image is somehow even better

I got there and her daughter or granddaughter came out and was like omg her phone died we were worried

And then the older lady said something and the younger lady translated.

"She knew she could trust you because you have pink hair"

I thought it was funny at the time. But when I think back on it I think she was basically saying "you had a visible sign of not vibing with the system I was afraid of"

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.

Just as Masoq draws them

Dipper can be read either way, and the fact is that the character is written with the intention of being a relatively gender conforming cisgender boy. I encourage you to have your own queer headcanons so long as you respect the trans girls' right to have a contradictory one. There are people in the comments saying "Dipper is accidentally transfem coded" and like... I do not think that he is to the exclusion of other readings. Struggling with masculinity and worrying about being able to perform it is absolutely a thing that men (cis and trans) experience, because masculinity is a construct and real people have incredible depth and individuality.

Ralsei is a character who is being deliberately, implicitly transfem coded, but that has not been made, like, fully explicit. To take this character and go "what if tboy!" generally implies some combination of 1. poor literary analysis, and 2. a desire for this character to not be transfem. The act, in and of itself, of insisting that Ralsei is not transfem while you've played Chapter 5 is materially harmless, but it betrays a perspective on transfemininity that, frankly, i think you need to reconsider.

inspired by one of @scampiii 's JAMD headcanons which are very cute and which everyone should look at
