🕯️ I will get 🕯️

🕯️ mcr tickets 🕯️

i understand hating both candidates but also voting isn’t a moral stance it’s a strategic action, and if voting (a small action that takes five minutes and doesn’t hurt you at all. your moral purity can’t be sullied by who you vote for you don’t have to wear a sign) can make life even that little bit better for even one marginalized person in the us, why would you not do it? I’m not being antagonistic i genuinely don’t understand the mindset

and i agree that politicians should have to earn votes/that they need to be pushed left but it’s also not an exaggeration to say this is the election that will determine if we have any more elections. he said to his base they would never have to vote again and I don’t want to wait around to see if he meant that

I start T soon so here's some changes to AFAB bodies when you take T

Increased thickness and growth of body hair

Bottom growth (clitoris grows)

Hair on crown starts to thin (depending on genes you may or may not have male pattern baldness)

Shoulders broaden

Fat redistributes. Less around hips, more around stomach.

Menstrual cycle lessens/stops

Skin becomes coarser/greasier

Change in body odor (you'll probably stink more)

Less fat around body which makes muscles look more defined

Easier to gain muscle mass

Don't expect a full beard right away, you're gonna get back hair tho

Stronger libido

Mood swings lean towards anger as opposed to estrogen based mood swings that lean towards sadness

Vaginal dryness

Voice deepens (be prepared for voice cracks)

These things will take time, let your body figure itself out.

The injection site if done in certain areas on my thigh cause my entire leg to have stabbing pain for a day or two.

I get angry really easily the day after my injection. (That may be related to me already having mood disorders so idk)

I'm only able to grow facial hair above my lip, no where else.

Pimples and shit on areas of my face where they didn't used to go, even when I was going through puberty before.

I am so goddamn greasy all the time, I need to bathe and wash my face so much more often.

Growing thicker hair on my thighs, used to be thinner.

TMI (sexuality) I am more attracted to men and really horny all the time. Less bottom dysphoria. The bottom growth helped even though it's barely started.

I got stomach hair and it's glorious

Less bottom dysphoria with the bottom growth

My face is the greasiest it's ever been and even after washing it it's still greasy

I get pimples much more often in different places like my back

I accidentally injected directly into a capillary and spewed blood for a second, beware of blood vessels there are not a ton of major ones near the muscle I inject in but capillaries there are plenty

So

I'm a non-binary transgender person in Scotland.

If you don't know what I'm about to talk about, let me tell you.

> (this is to space out the text for anyone who struggles to read big blocks of things, like me)

The SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT passed a law that let's 16 year olds self identify their gender.

The law would have gender dysphoria not be something that you need to be diagnosed by a Doctor.

A transgender person would only have to wait 3 months and *not* 2 years to have lived as their preferred gender.

This law has not been put in place yet.

And it might never.

>

BECAUSE LONDON'S GOVERNMENT DECIDED TO NOT ALLOW THE BILL.

Their 'reasons' for this include:

• They do not believe 16 years old have the capability to understand what they want to do with their bodies

• They believe people could use the identity of being a Transgender Woman to harm Women in public places/single sex places

• They believe that Immigrants could come to the United Kingdom and harm Women in public places/single sex places

• This law could conflict with the laws of the United Kingdom

>

Now my REASONS for being angry, for thinking this argument is completely foolish, is as follows:

• Within the United Kingdom, 16 year olds are trusted with their bodies when it comes to; Being a soldier, having sex and having children

• If this argument of "these group of people could harm our women" doesn't sound familiar, then look into any part of history that involve people being discriminated against, it isn't that hard to find

• If the London Government worry so much for people of the female sex, THEN GET BETTER SECURITY. DO NOT BLAME THE CRIMES OF CRUEL PERVERTS WHO WANT POWER OVER SOMEONE, ON ENTIRE GROUPS OF PEOPLE

• "This law could conflict with the laws of the United Kingdom" Dude. WE, AS IN THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT, **VOTED DEMOCRATICALLY** TO HAVE THIS LAW PASS **IN SCOTLAND!!!** NOT ANYWHERE ELSE! Y'all can handle your own laws, just keep your hands off ours

>

They are fools.

Simply because they have demonstrated many things that is more telling of themselves than anyone else:

• They will use whatever *excuses* they want to have things go their way (not surprising in government but also yes it surprised me)

• The London Government abused it's apparent 'equal power with Scotland' to tell us that they can and will, in fact, take away the laws we pass for their liking

• They have shown to be Transphobic, Racist and Sexist (towards people born Male and Female)

• This is not democracy

• This is OR SHOULD BE illegal, they did not vote on this, they just said "no"

• And the thing the London/England Government fear the most; this will *definitely*, if they do not undo this or 'at least' come to an agreement; DEFINITELY make us Scots want to be *independent* from them

Thank you for reading this far.

I've never done such a long post about such a serious topic before.

To all the Scots, the English and Trans people reading this who are also angry, upset or even scared of this situation; know this, have faith and fight for this law. I am fighting for the law we pass to be returned. I hope it does, so that it can be a domino affect and get this bill talked about for the rest of the United Kingdom, where it could be treated with Democracy instead of all this bullshit.

Anyone who is outside of the United Kingdom, thank you again for taking the time to read this.

All of you have my internet hugs x

If you agree that this bill should not have been passed, if you agree with the reasons the London Government gave

BUT it’s a cute and meme-able image of a little froggy! If you don’t have the time, patience, or attention span to read my longer post about the topic, I’ve created a handy guide for protesting that can be distributed as an image. Feel free to save the image and distribute it to friends, family, and companions.

[Image ID: “If You’re About to Attend a Protest: Lenny the Frog’s Tips for a Safe & Effective Protest”

A photo of an unamused tomato frog is at the bottom left corner of the image. There are two columns of text. On the right is a red column with “Don’t” as a header. On the right is a green column with “Do” as a header.

In the red “Don’t” column is:

Have a GPS on your phone

Let someone go solo

Provoke dogs or horses

RSVP to a protest

Sign your name anywhere

Take photos of faces

Tell others how to act

Wear contacts (tear gas)

NEVER speak to law enforcement without legal counsel present.

In the green “Do” column is:

Bring extra clothes

Bring medicine

Cover scars or tattoos

Have a first air kid

Know the area

Know your rights

Record police brutality

Stand up for others

Stay together

Tell a friend you’re going

ALWAYS check on your fellow protesters to make sure they’re safe!
