How to Live Safely in a Time Traveling Coat

If youre a closeted person somewhere out there thinking "I want to transition but it would be less progressive/unique/countercultural for me to be that gender instead of this one" please know that you are a real person not a character in a narrative and cant live your life based on what is good media representation. You are real you can only be yourself and theres no moral weight to any identity over another

Liberal transphobes enjoy positioning trans identities as regressive compared to cis queerness or like non-transitioning transness or anything else they can leverage to make transphobia look progressive and I think its easy to absorb that message subconciously. But in real life we just are what we are and no ranking of validity can change the fact that you have an identity that is NOT chosen and is just your unchangeable truth. Not only should you not have to live a life dictated by what is most countercultural to identify as or whatever but also: being trans is extremely countercultural and feminist and leftist to begin with and theyre only trying to convince you otherwise bc theyre bigots

"Why cant you be a feminine man society hates feminine men 🥺" and "all the butch lesbians are becoming men we need u 🥺" = stay in the closet for the noble purpose of being an abstract representation point in my new york times opinion column. You wont actually be a gnc cis person youll be a closeted trans person who uses the wrong words but I need you to do that because i hate you

@lexplainea

you know, if i had only driven the car into the ditch, we’d all still be stuck at the cottage

it was kinda because i couldn’t see through all the tears from leaving one of my best friends…

Finals don’t exist when you’re in the woods at 1:30am

Hey so what???

can confirm. was on top of the world

… as a butch/gnc woman, this makes me so happy to see. i love this so much.

"mtf" and "amab" voted worst acronyms of all time

we don't need "leftist" ways of calling trans women male actually

you can say trans woman. you can just say trans woman

people will criticize tme/tma calling it "the new gender binary" and then go around calling people amab and afab as if they just ran a find and replace in their vocabulary for "male" and "female"

"um making a distinction between transfems and the entire rest of the population? isn't that just inventing a new gender binary? typical male amab behavior 😒"

uncritically bring with you all your cisnormative, bioessentialist, transphobic assumptions about sex and gender and just slap a "progressive" label over them and there you go! you don't need to do any of the work of adjusting your worldview to meaningfully understand transness or deconstruct the systems that bind us

“Whoa! Woah! Shit The Bed Almighty!” Is my new favorite expletive

heard a drink get called out at one of the cafes on campus with “number 6 7 markiplier!” and completely lost my train of thought for whatever else I was doing

was there can confirm
