Somewhere Over The Rainbow

sometimes a bigoted guy calling trans women slurs isn't calling her slurs because he "is secretly insecure and ashamed for being attracted to her". sometimes it's because he's a bigoted asshole. and acting like there's some magic Reddit Gotcha! that, if you comment under his post, magically undoes the harm done by his transphobia, is stupid! You aren't helping anyone!

Also, transmisogynists being sexually attracted to trans women isn't a "gotcha" at all. Men that are misogynistic towords cis women very famously treat them as sex objects. This is literally the exact same behavior.

staring at the dessert menu and twirling my hair and going "should I be baaaaddd" until the autistic girl I'm eating with says "there is nothing bad about eating dessert. it is a morally neutral action"

have you seen this yet?

Why is being trans so expensive. Oh my god. And I'm weird about consumable/single use Things so if I want to be normaler about using my trans tape (anxiety about Running Out Of things) I'm gonna have to have a Backup Binder anyway and that's another purchase. Pain. Suffering. It's okay I've spent money on stupider shit than "my quality of life" and "things I've wanted since I was 12"

If any of you would like to help fund my gender you know the drill $TLirs

it's disorienting when you beat me with a shovel

I remember when "trans women benefit from the male privilege they had pre-transition" was accurately described as a TERF belief and now its something you gotta get in the trenches and fight other queer people about. Depressing.

It's really exhausting because there is such a difference in experiences between trans women based on other societal pressures (such as race, class, etc) that its very difficult to generalize this. In addition...usually the person saying this is also placing a moral judgment on people who transition later in life...and it still ignores that transitioning immediately jeopardizes your position in society.

I hate the videoification of everything. If I have to hear one more video of someone speaking closely into their shitty mic and I have to have all their yucky wet mouth noises and plosives and nose whistles and throat clearings and sniffles I am going to dig a vertical hole the exact dimensions of my body and I’m going to slither in head first

as someone with misophonia, the widespread popularization of asmr audio editing + people that are being pushed to make video content with no formal training and have no idea how to edit their audio (ex college professors, average joe tiktokers, etc) is literally my nightmare scenario. this is hell I am in hell
