*cis voice* I was going to acknowledge your basic humanity but then you had to be slightly impolite

this is not even exaggerated in the slightest

I’m sorry that my habit of hiding has caused me to disappear during interactions; I can’t even imagine how many people that has hurt.

I want to be responsive.

I fail: a trans woman’s dirge

Inspired by Alok

I fail

at fitting your role for me.

Token to be dropped an in arcade machine

Talk-talk like a ventriloquist’s dummy trans...

You want me to talk gender like you talk gender.

You want me to shut up when you want, and be loud - as long as it makes you look really good

And instead, I admit failure.

Whoops...

That won’t be happening again.

Does that mess up your plans?

Whoops...

The only way to win at somebody else’s power play is not to play.

dystopia au where we are all assigned one of two chosen genders at birth

peppylilspitfuck

Thanks to ultrasounds, the genders can be assigned before birth. The people are so excited to conform they throw “Gender reveal parties” to make sure their offspring exist in a strict binary since before they can even form thoughts.

Children are color-coded according to their binary assignment.

darkersolstice

One of the genders is seen as inherently inferior.

i say this a lot but i love women who love women. i love lesbians, i love bi women, i love pan women, i love questioning women, i love women who know they love women but they’re not yet sure where they fall, i love women who’ve loved women all their lives, i love women who are just now realizing they love women at nineteen, at twenty-eight, at forty-two. women loving women is so good and so pure and fills me with so much love

counterreproductive

Hello Everyone, My name is Octavia Y. Lewis, MPA and I’m an African American Women of Trans Experience. I am reaching out for assistance to create a Transgender Center in NYC where all Trans women especially Trans Women of Color will have a safe inclusive space that is conducive for them to thrive and live in their authentic truth unapologetically. I need to raise funds in order to obtain my 501c3 status, a postal box, and a cubicle to begin to do the work. I know the lived experiences of what Women of Trans Experience face as far as being alienated and ostracized from family and friends, commercialized/survival sex work, homelessness, and countless other disparities in which we face. I do not believe in asking others nor strangers for funds but in this case, I must set aside my pride because we are dying in the streets. Women of Trans experience are impacted far greater than any other demographic for contracting HIV and discriminated against in accessing education, employment, healthcare and housing accommodations. it is my “Dream” that with this center they will be educated, enlightened, and prepared to face the challenges of the world. No amount is too small or large and it all will be put towards making this Dream a Reality. Thank you kindly, Octavia Y. Lewis, MPA….

I am forgiving and wise. My loyalty stays only if I see accountability. Otherwise, it fades away like ashes in the wind...

Cis woman posting advice all over the place:

No thanks, sister. Your advice doesn’t work for me, because you’ve never stood in, or imagined standing in, my shoes.

Calls To Become

My desire for other women is very much about whom I need to become. This is one of the hardest-earned truths I have - that when I meet a woman and am enamored with her in so many ways, the chances are that she is doing something I believe I need to be doing.

This is a weight to carry, to see that who I am attracted to is not necessarily about what moments transpire with that person or what we do together - it is about what I must do. My love for other women is in fact a call to being and, if I am facing the difficult truth, a call to action - to movement. This truth is difficult because I have been taught not to move; because I have been taught that when I am attracted to someone, the situation becomes all about whether I’m worthy of them and whether they like me back and whether we will do something about that together. Holding onto that notion has dragged me through many sharp rocks.

No, the truth is that when I meet another woman and am captivated by who she is - the life she is living, the way she moves… it is a call to live mine. Whether we express physical affection or not is a binary distraction from a message I have missed for a long time: if you want to be this beautiful, then be. If you want to live this vibrant of a life, then live. If you want to move in spite of all this fear, then sister, move. And if you do this you will meet your beloved in the only space that really matters; and you will meet yourSelf.

Nevermind that I was the one who wrote this - I needed to read it tonight.

AMAB trans people: your real cis friends will stick up for you -if naively- without you asking them to.

As a trans woman working with others, I can ask a centimeter of someone and get told to leave.

It’s not just me; it’s the whole thing .

PLEASE! Share and donate if u can! Danissa is a trans woman from Mexico who is facing deportation, please please please share this and help in any way u can!!

After a lifetime of failing to live up to other peoples’ expectations, being forgiving and inviting towards someone who's worth it feels liberating to me.

Like, it’s okay sister; you don’t have to worry about living up to my expectations. I just want you to live - and live fully.

9273) My mother recently found out that I am transgender.

Her first words? “You can’t” As if she actually had a say in the matter. I’m sorry mama but I am your daughter. The son you thought you had never existed.

You Can Be Incorrect And I’ll Still Love You

TRIGGER WARNING FOR DESCRIPTIONS OF INTERNALIZED TRANSMISOGYNY IN DETAIL.

Yesterday an intersectionally-oppressed AMAB trans person pointed out to me that she used the men’s bathroom on purpose. She said it was obvious that many trans women were cis men lying. She listed off mistakes that other trans women had made… as proof that they were not, in fact, women. There was more, too; of course there was.

So many trans women struggle with their internalized transmisogyny presenting itself in ways that leave me unsure what to say or do. Well, after the last few days, it’s clear that one thing I need to embody in those situations is “I disagree with what you’re saying about other trans women, but I love you and support you in who you are.” Now, I know how I must be: you can’t scare me off because you’re too harsh on other trans women, or because you have some fucked-up opinions. My whole work here is to love you through.

And if anything is going to change your mind about other trans women… it might be the love I feel for you when you tell me destructive opinions that have pushed so many other sisters away.

Fine, but if she slings her “yer really a boy” shit at me or those close to me, there’s gonna be a problem.

petalsandbridges

I hear you, and they basically did that to me (and themselves) by calling ANY trans woman a man who is pretending. I told them I could not see past both our similarity and our difference, that those are women, and that this person’s opinions don’t scare me because of who’s speaking.

That’s how I want to respond to these situations. I know not everyone will be that way. My hope is that my response will help heal.
