A few years ago a callout was made against me. It exploded my entire life. I have said since the beginning that I did cause harm and I have worked to address that, but that it shouldn't have been a public matter and the things said about me are exaggerated and violent. As a result of the callout, several people close to me basically lost their community and their housing. Not immediately, but over the course of months or years because they refused to let me be completely isolated they were targeted for isolation themselves. Did these people deserve it? Some of the people who perpetuate callouts would say yes, but they didn't.

With all the local organising I've been doing against the mass evictions recently, I haven't really talked about what's going on with the local renters' union. Someone on the committee of my local branch took issue with me being there and had their friends file a formal complaint which they then upheld and had me banned. This was months before the mass evictions started, but the union is still in the process of trying to mediate this conflict. It's taken hours of union time that would have been better spent helping vulnerable people, and I've said at every turn that I'm open to talking things out with these people who, to be clear, I've never met. When the new landlord bought the estate I said something was fishy and that I wanted to take it to the union, but I only had one point of contact there who basically told me to just do things myself. I was only able yo convince the union to get involved after several families had already been driven out of their homes. Did those families deserve it? I think if that complaint hadn't been upheld those people would still be in their homes. Was that justice? Did it help the people I hurt? Did it protect anyone?

The Rodeo Rule: you only have to do it for the first time once.

The Rohan Rule: if you are at a social function full of new people and you want to be liked, find someone doing important work like setup or food prep and offer to help.

The Tutorial Mode Rule: to navigate an unfamiliar situation where you fear you will mess up an interaction, preface the interaction by mentioning that you've never done this before, and let them know if you have a specific concern or question.

The Rocket Science Rule: most new things you want to try seem very complicated but are simple when taken step by step.

The [X] Will Remember That Rule: if you need to make small talk with the same person on a regular basis, try to save one fact or current event in their life from a given conversation and bring it up next time you talk.

Let girls be crazy sometimes I stg 💖

That completely misses the point.

Even in a world where people let people into shelters according to their gender identities-- as a trans man, I would not feel safe in a men's shelter. Cis men are responsible for a disproportionate amount of physical, emotional, and sexual violence against trans people, including trans men. Being correctly gendered does not magically make that environment safe.

If I absolutely had to seek emergency shelter, I at least have a place I could realistically go without being surrounded by the demographic most likely to target me: a women's shelter, even if that would require being misgendered.

Trans women don't have that option. A men's shelter is not simply "the equivalent in reverse." It's an environment where they're both women and trans in an environment surrounded by their worst oppressors, making them especially vulnerable to harassment and violence. And in many cases, they may not even be admitted.

He's a trans man by the way

"Trans women get all the visibility" but it's 16,913 newspaper articles in the UK mainly demonising trans women, while some trans men have enough institutional power to get on a stage and spout utter bullshit about trans women that is not historically or factually correct.
