Elaborate Mating Ritual? Neither Party Saying What They Want: https://reductress.com/post/elaborate-mating-ritual-neither-party-saying-what-they-want/

Real source of grief to see the game of telephone go around until what was done to Isabel Fall for writing an amazing story has now been recapitulated into ammunition to use to attempt to drive more trans women off the internet. Even our grief will be turned into a weapon and used against us.

Like butter over too much bread

sometimes social media decides to shoot you in the chest point blank with a rail cannon because it's funny

Couple about to sign divorce papers… WOMAN: I wish I'd never joined that Star Wars dating app MAN: You were looking for love in Alderaan places WOMAN: And I wish I'd never married a guy addicted to Star Wars puns MAN: It was a wookie mistake WOMAN: Just sign it MAN, SIGNING: May divorce be with you

Thinking about, talking, and learning about the fact I'm changing my *sex* is truly one of the greatest joys on life. We can transmutate our very cells into something beautiful and life giving. It's magic ✨

Me: I have agency to fix this problem CPTSD: Therefore the problem is my fault Me: Not what I said CPTSD: If I have agency I should have fixed the problem already and the fact that it isn't fixed means that it is my fault Me: ... CPTSD: Also this conversation is more time not fixing it

Heteronormativity and fascism via electric guitars. Zeppelin fans who grew up to preach against homosexuality. Veggie Tales. Evangelicalism didn't just start to kill us in the red states. It's been happening in the suburbs, in the cities. And sometimes there's a pop punk soundtrack.

OPINION: I’m getting fed up with giving Stonewall UK the benefit of the doubt Read: whatthetrans.com/opinion-im-t...

Been busy the last couple of days and just came across the source of the "trans women laughing at a misogynist is literally kiwifarms" drama and yeah, this site really needs a "block everyone who liked this post" button.

I might be sad, overwhelmed and exhausted, but at least I'm hot, sad, overwhelmed and exhausted

Wes Streeting's 'I'm not a god botherer who has issues with trans people' t shirt has a lot of people asking questions

The fucking gall to blame trans people and allies for the increase in mortality caused by their own cruel policies. Directly to the face of a grieving mother. There is no depth too low for these monsters to stoop to.

Time to speak about meeting Streeting. The 24 page response I sent back to the DoH, including 55 questions, is on my blog. It says it’s a 40 minute read…I don’t think it’s that long. Anyway, it’s there for reference if you’re interested. Ask your questions. Article by @wearequeeraf.com out now.

what theeeeeeeeeeeeee fuck

Managed to squeeze in some baking after work twice this week and feeling very accomplished :) (Chocolate butter cake because we needed to use up some eggs and a caramel slice to bring when we finally get to meet our friends' new baby :D)

I used to think about the future. What might my life look like a year, five, or ten from now. I can’t anymore. I can’t seem to think beyond the next 48 hours. I’ll still fight for it every time. I’ll fight for every second. But each morning feels like waking up to the feeling of being hunted.

Cis people, you really have no clue what it’s like for us right now. Trans people have been scapegoated so hard it feels like we get blamed for being targets, like our oppression isn’t real, or it’s new, or it can wait and must not be so bad if we can be out. If we scream, we get reviewed on it.

Anxiety.

Australia, meanwhile, just found a woman guilty of "producing, possessing and distributing child abuse material" for writing a smutty novel about two consent adult characters www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

take my hand, let’s watch each other die over and over and over again until we go mad with grief ☺️

stuck in a time loop all by yourself, handsome?

As a trauma survivor, you often develop all kinds of conditions and afflictions because of it. Rather than hating yourself for the things you had to do to survive (even if those were harmful in the long term), understand that you *did* manage to survive. Even if the after effects suck to deal with.

My situation has been getting worse. I keep having to cash out early, borrow money, to pay for the previous week. I have a lot of bills to pay down, as well as a lot of work/personal needs before I can move out. If the fam finds out I'm trans, then I'm out. Venmo: @ZoeBlank Paypal: @ZoeBlank1

this new video game is good. but (video game from when I was twelve) is still the real cutting edge

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Happy April 28 to all who celebrate!

A reminder that not everybody is as online as you, even if you think they are. My friend told me they'd started a Substack, and I asked why they were hanging out at the Nazi bar. They legit had no idea, so show a little grace first before jumping all over people, yeah?

Me to myself: what do you mean you haven't made anything of yourself? You have all those setlists

Zoe is a lovely human being in a shitty situation, anything you can do to boost or financial support you could send her way would really help!

Goddamn. Disappointing is an understatement.

Objective bookends to the golden age of Games, totally unrelated to my age at the time they were released

I have zero interest in any of the arguments about Hasan Piker because my immediate response from the moment I heard about him was

It’s hard to fit all the details in a post here, so I did one an Reddit as well, and even just boosting this would be a huge help! Even if it’s not your thin, it might be someone’s thing that follows you! It’s got a lesbian piloting magic mech to punch tree golems in the face!

This is so incredibly cute and fun I adore Kallie and Lunaeris!

It's lesbian visibility week you have to look at my elf ok?

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

Good morning
