i feel like we used to understand that "detransitioning" was violence. maybe that's wishful thinking, but like. c'mon.

detransitioning isn't even real. it's either realizing you aren't trans (read: cis) or you're re-closeting yourself.

absolutely major news out of georgia: the legislative session ended last night at midnight and ALL anti-lgbtq+ bills were defeated

The bills that were defeated included: SB 30: a bill to restrict access to medical care for trans youth SB 39: a bill to deny coverage of medical care for trans people covered by the State Employee Health Benefit Plan SB 74: a bill to criminalize librarians sharing LGBTQ+ content SB 497: a forced outing bill for LGBTQ+ students HB 104 and 267: bills further restricting trans youth from participating in sports HB 671: a drag ban HB 1210: a bill to create en exemption for non-affirming parents and caretakers to abuse trans youth

post so nice had to reblog it twice and force it down everyone's throats

I feel like in 99% of cases Problematic Media:tm: does not actually fucking matter & then Joanne is *personally* building the Trans Woman Death Laser with her marketable wizard money & it's like. Just this once yeah I think engaging with the marketable wizards *is* indicating something about your Moral Character

We can all yap about how being a Media Consumer isn't activism etc etc and that's all well and true but this one is actually a threat to people's rights so maybe we can do the bare minimum of, uh, growing the fuck up and having higher priorities than our personal nostalgia ? Something something white supremacist "right to comfort"

hey young queers. I need you to hear me when I say part of growing up is learning to not care. part of growing up as a queer person is learning to abandon online discourse in favor of a “who cares, welcome to the club” kind of attitude. I promise you, you will feel so much less stress when you stop the infighting over slur discourse and identities you think don’t make sense. adopt a “I may not understand but it has no impact on me” mentality I promise it will be so much better for your mental health.

So we're all gonna let the new Harry Potter show die on the vine, right? No hatewatching. No thinkpieces. No videos about how bad it is. Deprive it of oxygen and let it wither away unremarked-upon and unprofitable; make HBO lose their entire investment and prove to the corporate entertainment sphere that the entire IP is poison. And spend that time doing something that brings you joy instead.

"trans men have never done anything for the community or the world u cant name HARDLY ANY trans men in history" well if yall would stop deadnaming and misgendering the dead ones or even allow us to speculate if gnc "women" who "pretended to be men" might have been transgender and hiding their identity to avoid persecution because you just loooove your "girlbosses" so much then we might be having a different fucking conversation

"trans men have never done anything for the community or the world u cant name HARDLY ANY trans men in history" when there is a hole in the shape of a marginalized group in history that is a sign that something really fucking bad happened to that group

You literally can’t make a single post about respecting trans people’s chosen names without some rat coming out of the woodwork to say “umm but what if they name themselves a slur?? what if they name themselves adolf hitler am i supposed to respect it then???” brother that sounds like a problem you just made up I’m just trying to get you to respect a tguy named Aiden without calling him a theyfab trender.
