an american said this while explicitly discussing the transmisogyny F1nnster is experiencing and like... how can you say that and not just be embarrassed?

you cannot discuss the transmisogyny a woman is facing and the attempts she's made at assisting other trans people due to transphobic legislation, and then say "but i don't care about those silly islands where she lives LOL"

white americans on this site are WAY too comfortable with saying "lol fuck the british/UK". the truth is, you only cling to this mentality because it makes you feel superior, while ignoring that it refers to the UK as an imperial power, as well as its oligarchs and the clowns who support them.

DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS SURVEY. BLOCK @ayagdos . DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING.

PFLAG has issued a warning that the results of this survey will be weaponised by lawmakers looking to pass discriminatory bills intending to strip us of our rights.

As a general rule, do NOT participate in any survey unless they tell you up front why they are conducting the survey, what they intend to do with the results and how they will use the data they collect from you.

Even if they do give you that information, find out what the organisation and its stakeholders/funders are about and where they sit before you even think of taking part in the survey.

I got on T at 20 years old. This is not the first time I tried to transition. When I was 13, I went to a highly respected institution for transgender youth to get on puberty blockers and hormones. My two providers did not know what a trans man was. They offered me a side-clasp binder off amazon in the wrong size that fucked up my ribs because they gave me incorrect guidelines on how to wear it. They refused to put me on any medication until I could prove to them that I wasn’t just confused. They never put me on any medication and always told me that being a girl is hard and I couldn’t just run away.

Started stitching the Milky Way in. Slowly making progress on it as I am hiding the travelling thread so the back will look nice.

Progress on the constellation quilt has come along quite a lot now. Finished the binding on the quilt over the weekend. I prefer to machine stitch the binding to the front then hand stitch the back side. It gives such a nice finish to the quilt. Took the time to measure it also and it ended up being 72" by 72" (183cm by 183cm).

Behold the stars of the constellations of the northern sky! I love how this quilt has turned out. It was a lot of fun to work on and the effect is so cool in person. Overall I would estimate it took about 90-100 hours to complete. Give or take 10 hours if you want to count the time I spent custom dying the fabric.

I made sure to get a nice photo of it in daylight. For once I also remembered to get a quilt label on it. The back really shows the difference in readability of the quilting on the ice dyed fabric compared to the solid front. Thank you everyone that has followed this. I am glad you all found joy in it.
