as always, it and its partner are homeless and disabled trans women living purely off donations from tumblr as they keep terminating us both every single day, and we still badly need support as we're going to be fully on the streets again in less than a month. please keep reblogging this aid post, and its paypal is here.

Water is way more hydrating than soda, but soda is more hydrating than nothing. A balanced meal is way more nutritious than ice cream, but ice cream is more nutritious than nothing.

Something is better than nothing. Some hydration is better than no hydration. Some nutrients are better than no nutrients. Some produce is better than no produce.

I think I’ve seen more Black transfemme memorial tribute art than I’ve seen art depicting Black transfemme characters. Like yes representation is the bare fucking minimum but. do you have any idea how little Black transfemme art I see that isnt the “five o’clock shadow” type or Marsha or because yet another one of us got killed and it’s in tribute?

There’s an omnipresence of white trans folks in popular trans art because whiteness is the currency of attention online and everyone else gotta pay the BIPOC Attention Tax, and even if you specifically look for it, often algorithms and censors that target all transfemmes but disproportionately affect transfemmes of color will make it hell to find unless you know EXACTLY what/how to find it.

Part of why I share my modeling photos, or even my selfies like I do, is bc so many people like me never get to see others that look like us even within our own marginalities. That it doesn’t stop at being white, or petite, or abled, or cis. That there are other people even more like us within our marginalities, that we aren’t fucking alone in a society that uplifts the same types of people to the “top” even within a marginalized group.
