The Techno Moai Watcheth

i did the press junket for House of the Dragon Season 3 yesterday, and it was a WILD time. kinda like getting married: there's lots of running around and putting on clothes and hair and makeup and people asking fun questions, and then big emotions and crowds

favourite question was the reporter who asked me what kind of dragon I would want and I got to gush about the Eragon series for like 5 minutes. She said my answer was very detailed and I was like "i'm a lesbian and a tumblr girlie, if you ask me what kind of dragon I want I'm like "Do you want to see drawings?""

I got Brian and Nicki, the glam team from Philosophy Tube, to style me for the day, which was an awesome time. If I'm coming up my whole team is coming up

yummmmmmm

met these two on my way out of a photoshoot; can confirm tumblr, both lovely and nice in real life

Stonewall became the epicenter of rebellion because it was one of the few queer bars that let trans women in.

The article also touches on how drag balls were originally created by trans women for trans women.

The entire subculture was appropriated by cis gay men in the late 60's who then barred trans women from participating.

The "queer culture" that so many tme people are eager to preserve is a culture of our exclusion. They're eager to take the art we create, the movements we start, they're glad to have us fight for their rights, and then kick us to the curb while saying it's "not the time" for our rights to be defended. They sing the praises of women like Miss Major while attending "afab only" events. They talk about how awful the abuse of trans sex workers is in "afab only" support groups. They cry about the plight of homeless "trans people" while sleeping in "afab only" shelters.

They love to talk about all the good Miss Major, and many other trans women, have done while actively contributing to our exclusion and oppression. Its very clear that they do not love women like Miss Major.

We are the Omelas Children of the queer world. Their gains are built on our suffering.
