Being Trans Is Totally Punk Rock

twerfs love to find a trans woman who doesn't even know they exist and insist "this predator wants to invade my spaces and sexually harass me!!" and it's like. ma'am i could not be less interested in interacting with you if you paid me to be, and your insistence on talking about my genitals and sex life against my wishes does in fact make you the sexual harasser!

like i promise you the lesbians i'm interested in are not the ones who insist on calling me a man and a rapist and a pedophile. i can't adequately express how little i want to interact with you in any way. don't flatter yourself

I feel like when she’s screaming at the end of I saw the tv glow and nobody actually does anything to save her except here it’s not transition it’s just people waiting for me to die so they can stop feeling bad about not being able to do anything or make things better and they can just move on to feeling bad another trans woman is dead and mourning me for a couple days before I disappear as well

I’ve spent so long being the one saving people and almost never being the one saved and I don’t care what else im supposed to do, I don’t care how important my survival is, I don’t care what else I’m supposed to become, I want the pain and suffering to stop. I want to live a life where I’m able to find some happiness for longer than a night and not be constantly lonely or having flashbacks to the shit I’ve gone through or trying to claw my chest and throat open because I feel like dying is the only way out I have left. I’m so tired of being alone and suffering and having to scream for help that’ll only come begrudgingly or pretend everything is just fine. I can’t be passed off as “someone else will handle it” if I become nobody’s problem at all

"it's just growing pains" -> "you're too young for that to hurt that bad" -> "you just need to get in better shape" -> "welcome to being old, everyone is in pain"

i still believe we should let kesha gut dr luke on stage with a longsword or a greatsword whichever one she prefers

u people have got to get more normal ab people who don't make sense to u . I mean like people who ramble on and don't know how to have proper conversation . people who are completely incomprehensible . people who talk about delusions and hallucinations . people who can't understand social cues . people with speech impediments or no speech at all . people with vocal tics . not just because it's the decent thing to do but also bc this is most common in the most vulnerable marginalized people . youth , elders , mentally ill , disabled , addicts as well as more generally people with accents & non English speakers .

It's really maddening watching people shrug and handwave the inherent fascist ableism of means testing access to health insurance and disability assistance by saying "well it *shouldn't* effect people already on medicaid depending on their state" as if they're not actively excusing literally thousands of easily preventable deaths mostly in marginalized groups they claim to love and support any other time (and ignorantly thinking as if the proposed federal system hasn't already been happening in other states for years) specifically because I begin the timeline for such issues with Biden defunding federal covid assistance and expanded access to healthcare in the middle of an ongoing pandemic.

Everyone say thank you sanitation workers we owe you our lives sanitation workers

this one kinda hurts when i see it every pride month. im glad to see an art piece of mine still circulating, and with nearly 100,000 notes too! it just hurts that im separated from it. everyone in the notes thinks im gone. im still here, but my potential community and connection is lost because im forgotten in place of the art. yeah, my deactivated profile does add to the profoundness of what i was saying, but i am still removed.

listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream of, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.

this isnt a vague about anything or anyone in particular (more of a pattern recognition thing), but i think like labeling things as being "not racist" or "not misogynistic", while well intentioned, closes off a dialogue between the work itself, the audience, and the creator(s). like even if you have a work that is devoid of bigotry (which even if its true today, people in the future may view it differently) its still worth examining and having conversations about it. also, i think it like severely limits the scope and reduces the ability for improvement or nuance. alas!

otherwise interesting post ruined by the bold insistence that you can never accidentally abuse someone & that all abusive people are self-aware evil masterminds

actually pigs shouldn't be at pride even outside of uniform. fuck those guys

if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig

Just Marlon Wayans bullying his son in public by presenting a hate crime as funny; this is the state of American comedy.
