Hi friends, it's been awhile!! Trying to dabble a bit back into FE lately while i struggle to actually make art

taking breaks to sketch lucina is the only thing thats keeping me alive through finals, tbh 

When I first started learning about transfeminist theory, it demanded a lot of genuine effort to confront a lot of socially imposed biases that I'd absorbed without noticing them. It was a lot of reading, a lot of listening, a lot of learning new definitions. New names new theories. And through that process I effectively chose to be dead silent about learning because I didn't want to speak on a subject I wasn't well enough informed about yet. It was months before I started actually talking about what I'd learned.

And the fact of the matter is that it's hard. And being a whiny snotty little thin skinned bastard who doesn't listen to women is the easy way out.

it wasn't until I really started to examine the power dynamics at play between myself/other transfems and TME trans people that it became clear the "unity" I thought I was protecting never meaningfully existed, and that I was just being conflict avoidant and people pleasing

IM SO TIRED OF CAPTIONS AUTO-CENSORING CURSES & VIDEO CREATORS TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT THE ALGORITHM BY LEAVING PEOPLE OUT OF WHAT THEYRE ACTUALLY SAYING

IM SO TIRED OF FORCED BEDTIMES IN CARE HOMES & FORCED CELIBACY & SOBERNESS BY CAREGIVERS
