...the "this is gender-affirming care" meme started w/trans ppl pointing out a double standard: procedures readily accepted/approved for cis ppl are denied to trans ppl. but cis ppl have turned it into a way to mock MAGAs' gender anxieties. maybe instead of mocking them, ACTIVELY SUPPORT OUR RIGHTS

The thing about JKR and telling folks not to buy Harry Potter shit is it isn't because we think it can take away her fortune and platform. She's so rich she would still be rich if she never sold another book It is because it is literally the smallest possible hurdle to clear to value trans lives

One sibling is a Pilates instructor. I could probably learn enough to guide a class, but I don’t have the work ethic or desire to do well. The other sibling is a cop. Sitting on my ass would be easy, but as an autistic, routinely lying would be difficult.

JK Rowling has used her wealth to stoke the fires of a worldwide pogrom against trans people to where she's silenced a Holocaust scholar after JK engaged in Holocaust denial & now done the same to Amnesty International for their warning about trans eradication, but keep buying your Harry Potter crap

Brooklyn craft beer packaging goes hard

This Is Just To Say I told you so about that thing you disagreed with me about of which irrefutable proof has now emerged Forgive me it is too delicious too sweet not to remind you that you were wrong

I'm really looking forward to my BA next month. But I'm kind of sad that I won't be able to offer uppies to girls until October.

being opposed to kink is inherently tied to assimilationism and always has been

Transfemme Joker: “You want to know how I got these scars?” Mobster: “Joker, you got FFS. You haven’t shut up about it for months.”

Every "legitimate concern" is a repackaged concern they had about gay people before they lost that battle. The only one that isn't 100% recycled is their concern-trolling about the safety of HRT, but that echoes their disdain for other public health measures aimed at caring for gay people.

It’s really weird that the right chose the phrase “biological sex” when that’s literally the thing changed via hormones. They could have said natal sex, or assigned sex. But no, “biological.” It’s a thumb in the eye to scientific accuracy.

oh, online is gonna be *bad* bad today. quick shoutout to everyone who writes for and/or subs to the NYT for getting us to this point by reframing trans dignity as something up for debate by "just asking questions" may you all never know another single moment of peace in your hopefully short lives

Of ALL the people in the world, too. Chris Rufo has made his entire career out of saying exactly what he's going to do, as a call to arms, and getting people to parrot it. He's behind things like the muddying of the term "Critical Race Theory." Exposure doesn't hurt these guys. It amplifies them.

Just a reminder to y'all that I started my transition at 40. I'm shaped like this now, thanks estrogen! It's never too late. If you're wondering at all, just *start*. You can always go back, but I bet you won't.

Anyway, my all my books have ace and aro characters. My next book will, too. So will the book after that one. And my life will always have at least one such character. He's fat and he laughs too loud and he's typing this sentence.

I was out as ace/aro for about a year before the first time someone told me I could fix it. He advised me to see certain doctors for hormones and surgeries that would *correct* my identity. He thought he was helping me, too. And he was the first of many.

Autistic trans women and their autistic fathers all agree: talking heads good

yea no i can't come into work today. yea. ran through with a sword. yea im bleeding a beautiful deep red and im quivering and growing pale. disheveled hair and everything, yea. of course it's homoerotic. alright thanks. see ya bye.

Does anyone know why I'd have an icon saying I have 1 Bsky chat message, but when I click through, there's none? What a weird little bug.

This is the ideal female body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Looking forward to learning this in about two months. Not sure if I haven’t experienced this yet because I’m Built Different (A cups) or Built Different (high pain tolerance).

Charged me too much for fruit at the farmers market. It’s highway strobbery

I really can’t put it into words but Urza gives “white father in a blended family” energy. Just looked at many renditions of his art and felt vindicated. You might be wondering how I even got there. Well, it started with being stuck in the airport and asking myself: “Can Karn say nigga?”

What a difference a week makes! Staples come out in one more week, then it’s the waiting game for the swelling to go down. Definitely was not as rough a recovery as I’d anticipated.

The irony is they are replacing all their non-union humans with agents run by a single organization that can demand changes in wages (aka token costs) overnight without bargaining.

pussy so well designed they call the bottom surgeon Le Corpussier

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/

Yeah, I’m a bit fucked up, but you should see the other guy. Granted it’s a waitlist of about a year, but I really do recommend him.

"My mayor Muslim / my bagels Jewish / my Christian Dior / Knicks in Four" is basically Keats to me

One of the most consequential short films in history that explains why some people are like that. A load bearing part of early aughts random humor. Still a good watch too.

I rather someone call me a Faggot than a Disney Adult full offense

@techconnectify.bsky.social giving us some great advice about transition while also guiding us toward buying a minivan.

10x 185 lbs hip thrust. Probably could do more, even. But I walked to share this horniest of exercises.

Meanwhile my trans ass is like, “wow that is a very specific type of gaydar. How do they know my aperture is synthetic?!”

Box jump - 39”. New personal best. Watching this video, I wonder if my form could improve, even.

Btw, it’s actually just “the same thing as what it does to make bodies”, because there’s no such thing as male and female bodies! 🥳 We’re all just human, and yes there’s some things that can’t be undone, but our bodies are able to change at a moments notice. It’s never too late!

Man! I lift like a woman!

Balatro-posting

Yeah I dunno. It feels safer to be seen, conspicuous, and known. To say hi to my neighbors, be a regular at my gym, etc. I like knowing people care about me and expect to see me. If people don’t want me around, I’m gonna make them say it; I’m not removing myself for their comfort.

"transgender ideology" doesn't turn kids transgender, you just see a comic book cover and it never leaves you

What Did I Walk Into This Room For?: A Knives Out Mystery

What do we think? Hat Ivy Era?

I try not to be “I’m not like other girls,” but it’s hard sometimes going on trans discords and most of the girls there want to be magical girls and my goals are Noi.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays
