social media bans at least in part exist to prevent trans children from realising they can be trans and taking steps to transition. there’s a reason every parent attempting trans conversion therapy removes their child’s social media access.

genuinely fills me with pure rage when people use “grape” and “pdffile” to talk about sexual violence. it’s so disgustingly trivialising, immature and disrespectful. if you do this, you are the enemy of all victims and survivors

Too many people who are perfectly clear about who Thatcher was are happy to support Starmer and Co.

i'm not the arbiter of gender or anything it's just impossible for me to separate my own trans experience from my need to medically transition

flattening transness into “actually we’re all the same because we don’t identify 100% with our assigned sex” has been disastrous for trans rights, and ability to build both community with those like us and solidarity across differences

if you don't consider trans women to be vulnerable and marginalised women then im not interested in your flawed organisation.

this bird is a trans woman to me

This TDoV has been strange. “trans men who look like scary male rapists are coming into women’s bathrooms” and “trans men are allowed (something they actually aren’t) unlike trans women - noticing” wasn’t a thing from the cis in their attempt to support trans women last yr. Now it’s pervasive.

it's crazy how trans people have never been more hypervisible and yet the average cis person remains blissfully ignorant to the extent and severity of the attacks on our rights and safety

endless grace for the cis guy who implied only some forms of conversion therapy are real abuse but gulag for any transsexuals who say mean things to the cis guy #transally

Considering a new trans day between TDOV and TDOR called Cis Cunts Fucking Do Something Day

just remembered the time a german guy at the holiday water park saw my big straight across the chest and still pretty red top surgery scar and was very alarmed bc he thought the slide did that to me

people who romanticise squirting a lot have never had to deal with the cleanup

anyone else just find protests depressing? like sure thousands marched in london saying they’re against the far right but it won’t change a single thing

there's nothing inherently wrong with liking media targeted at a younger audience but you have to be able to recognize the inherent limitations that come with that and to build a healthy media diet including things not beholden to those limitations in order to maintain strong media literacy skills

now I am also an ugly ass white boy but what is it with anti-migration people and looking inbred?

liberals gleefully clap their hands and screech like children the second they're able unleash their homophobic vitriol against an acceptable target

royal mail: we will charge 3x more than every other delivery service us: ok but will you be faster? rm: lmao no us: alright, what about more reliable? rm: lol us: will you at least have decent tracking? rm: … us: … rm: we put a package in your bin. we don’t need to tell you if we do that, right?

during my illness nap I had a dream where I was forced to detransition and the only way to get back on t was through youtube guy phil lester marrying me to get private healthcare (idk why this was the only option I didn’t question this) and I convinced him to fake it for trans rights

I haven’t been sick with anything other than a migraine in over a year and I forgot how much this shit SUCKS

genuinely a bit funny to have done multiple rounds of therapy and have taken antidepressants for almost 12 years (also having tried multiple types) and still always think that dying would be better than literally everything else, but being able to settle for second best so officially you’re fine

when you've been struggling with a mental illness long enough it becomes offensive that it still works on you. bitch I know exactly what you are, stop making me sad and tired

if you look like this dm me

would be interested to see the impact of class on this even more than age. beyond kids ballet classes, ballet and opera are hobbies of the upper middle class and elite and the majority of normal people are apathetic at best

you ever try to go to an lgbtq+ event or group and come out feeling even more alone than you do in cishet society

Calling the cops on a pregnant child criminalises the child and makes that child further vulnerable to their abuser/s who are more likely to harm/kill them or force back street abortions. This law would centre moral panic feelings of strangers, not victims/survivors of CSA.

it’s funny to occupy the unique position where some people think I am a trans man because I am a woman escaping sexual trauma, some people think that I transed my gender to become a predator, other people think i deserve to be assaulted because I am a man and others think I can’t be assaulted at all

cis people largely don't care enough about trans issues to even be aware of our oppression beyond culture war talking points, these issues should be covered and that coverage should include pieces targeted at the trans people affected by them but that reporting has to be accurate to be helpful

sensationalizing the threats against trans rights does nothing but exhaust an audience you've told to be on constant high alert and yet every trans-focused news outlet seemingly can't help themselves from repeatedly falling into the same trap

Actually think Labour people attending something like TransMission is really gross disrespectful and offensive in the same way GCs being there is

Access to HRT must be protected. Without T I literally wouldn't be alive right now, this is not something to gloss over with "ur valid" language or by detrans people being like "you won't lose all the effects of hrt, it's totally okay!" it's actually not okay, and we need to say it.

lady on the phone told me the wrong time for my appointment and didn’t send me a confirmation email so I’m going to be late back to work AND have had too much time in the waiting room to convince myself I’m going to be told surgery can’t fix me

who told cis allies to start capitalising the word trans as if it’s a nationality and how do we make them stop

didn’t wanna quote this post and end up trivialising it but lads I read this post three times full before I could understand that it did not say ‘jake long’ as in american dragon jake long

disregarding the way I have to be something more bc I’m trans and the ways my brain ain’t right I’m really just a kind of boring guy

Probably safe to assume any law shit involving kids nowadays is some fuckin' anti-lgbtq scheme like it's a goddamn megaman plot

I can’t be a puppyboy or other such boytypes on account of I know my council tax band

tidying the inside of drawers SUCKS I’ve been tidying for 25 minutes and my room looks the same. homophobic hate crime.

When god invented the British isles he was like “ok everyone loves islands but what if I made ones that sucked”

every day I think about the penguin from the don’t want to get out of futon song

Caring about women soooo much you end up manufacturing a new pink tax. True girl power shit. Absolutely.

I wish people would come to understand transphobia as systemic, structural, and pervasive so we could stop treating transphobia as explicitly limited to people saying "I hate trans people" and accept the way our society conditions us all to dismiss, diminish, and dehumanize trans people.

I also found out today that two of my coworkers that do the exact same job as me get paid £3k a year more bc they have “officer” in their job title and not “assistant” even though we practically do the same work on the same hours lol lmao

went to a lgbt event today and got reminded how many people will gender me as a type of non-binary and think they’re better than the people who treat me like I’ll always be a woman

I think cis people think trans people are able to take off and hide our entire existence like it’s a fursuit that we wear at our leisure.

if you politically understand men as innately evil, that's gender essentialism and an intrinsically reactionary view that posits the oppression of women as inevitable while fundamentally misunderstanding quite literally all of oppression as a whole

Lots of people trying to pretend there's no difference between "not perfect" and "actually terrible"

I have never had a game crash so much as jedi survivor on ps4 😭

If you read the Cass Report I think you'll find that it's my turn on the PlayStation.
