clever gay idiot

Never forget what they took from us.

Remember this the next time someone argues that raising the minimum wage will raise prices

users on lolcow.farm are currently trying to use details shared in a recent transgender voices project submission to identify which trans woman it was about. they are putting forth specific women who fit the description

not that they always need to do this, because TGVP has a history of wantonly breaking her own anonymity rules to platform anonymous accusations against specific, named people

was just inside a literal hospital walking with my new cane when a nurse passes me and looks me up and down and says "oh, you don't need that thing!" where's my button that kills all abled people

it is genuinely so unbelievably annoying to be a child trafficking survivor and have to listen to people argue about shadows on the wall when it comes to children’s rights and child abuse prevention. the only true way to prevent child abuse is to take away parental control. give children rights. give them the education, resources, and rights to say yes or no to whatever and whoever they desire. i know what would have helped me. i’m so mind numbingly sick of all of this. everyone wants to feel like a hero, but nobody wants to help anyone.

there is not a pedophile cabal hiding in the shadows waiting to kidnap children. parents are the number one perpetrators of child sexual abuse. my kidnapper was my mother. my traffickers were all paid by her and had legal custody over me. i was forced thru constant manual labor and sexual humiliation in the name of “therapy” because parents are allowed to do whatever they want with the children they own. the end of adult supremacy is the only way to end child abuse.

cant do the mutual first memory rb game because i genuinely cant remember anything. i dont know you were all my mutuals at birth. we were joined by the stars and by blogging

m,y first memory is that I Loved You and do still

One time I came home from uni very upset and my younger siblings asked what's wrong. I said that mutated flies in our lab escaped because someone broke their jar. I didn't even realise how scary it sounded to them until I saw their faces lmao. I was upset because we were short on said flies (they don't reproduce very well) and my siblings thought that some crazy radioactive fly monsters escaped and we are all fucked now. Love being a mad scientist in their eyes lowkey

a child can 100% be trans, but there's no such thing as a cis child under ~10 and i believe this unironically

children only start being cis once they ostracize their trans peers. which i guess in fairness can be younger than 10 in many instances. but point is that before that we just tell them they're cis and they have no frame of reference to really say anything about it (and if they do, they get abused)

handing out flyers to transmascs about estradiol cream (can be used to keep your pussy wet and healthy but without triggering periods or having any feminizing effects) and transfemmes about Cialis (works even post-orchi)

and then telling both to start prep too

new blog same sexual health advocate. since making this post i’ve switched from cialis to topical testosterone cream though.

you can take both. i do both now. testosterone cream once a week, Cialis as needed. might start taking the cialis on a regular schedule too.

Adding along for transfemme folks that in addition to an ED medication to encourage continued use and bloodflow, that topical t-gel is not masculinizing, and helps protect the tissue and reduce atrophy, and help keeps the tissue healthy both pre and post-op. It's the same tissue being repurposed post-op, so it's still at risk of atrophy, so the same stuff can help reduce tissue atrophy. That's right, t-gel is helpful even if you plan on getting a neovagina, because "If you're asking a doctor to fold an origami cat, it's best to bring them the highest quality paper." Healthier tissue is easier to work with and more likely to result in a successful surgery. Similarly, as much as a lot of people find it gender affirming, please think carefully about deliberate long-term use of cock-cages -- those kinds that result in substantial shrinkage. If you're looking to get a neovagina, you'll want to avoid prolonged cock cage use for the same reasons-- less tissue, thinner tissue, atrophied tissue, unhealthy tissue, will have poorer outcomes for surgery. Cock cages and the associated shrinking are GREAT for transfemme folks who want to KEEP their bits/don't want surgery, but want to minimize them, keep them small, and to reduce the dysphoria of a larger, more prominent penis. But they can be a setup for FAILURE if one is trying to get a neovagina constructed. Please be safe, and good luck and much love. World may be spooky, but we're all in this shit together. Rooting for you.

This might sound weird but unless I'm in full blown 'please don't talk to me' mode, I actually like smalltalk. Bonding over how shit the weather is or other trivial topics helps ease my paranoia that everyone wants me dead. It's like an olive branch, a 'see? I don't want to hurt you!'. Sometimes it's hard when I just want to be left alone, but I appreciate the peace offering.
