Is it okay to be fully mtf trans and just not *want* bottom surgery? Maybe ever? Never say never, I get that. I am very early in transition. FFS? yes id like that. Breasts? Maybe if it looks like they wont come on their own. Maybe even vocal chords. But im not really dysphoric about my bottom :/

@warnock.senate.gov @ossoff.senate.gov Hey. I enthusiastically voted for you. I campaigned for you. I went to bat for you both and I was *so happy* when you won. Reverend, I watched you speak at the No Kings rally in Atlanta. It was inspiring. I'm transgender. That bill erases my existence.

Is anything good going to happen ever again?

Elon Musk and JK Rowling show that the right-wing is where to go if you want uncritical, unconditional adoration. Both started out with inoffensive center-left personas. Musk was a socially and eco-conscious billionaire. JKR wrote a series of beloved books about fighting racism and fascism.

Hey everyone. I have a good Trans friend that has fallen on some hard times here in Georgia and has had her car totally blow up. She doesn't need much, and any amount with be so helpful for her. I gave what I could right now, but I can vouch for her that she is real and awesome. gofund.me/4a073dc31

Is it possible to just... stop eating? Will that help with... all of this? Eventually? Im willing to try anything at this point. I mean... eventually the laws of thermodynamics kick in and... well, it'll work, right? Asking for a friend...

Well, with trans healthcare on its way out as matter of federal law, I guess its time learn some chemistry and plan to DIY. Sure wish I could have gotten a surgery or too before it becomes illegal though... cant do that with a test tube. *sigh*

Im struggling right now. Just...got to say something somewhere I guess. On a macro level the whole world is terrifying me. On a micro level I have a supportive partner (and she is great!) but the rest of my family has cut me out of their life. I fear for my job. I have kids to provide for. To feed

7 months of trying this time. Its actually been years, but I have to take a break now and then after getting dangerously (to myself) discouraged. I think Ill just finally take the hint from the universe. People with a full time job just don't get to have therapy. Or, at least, I dont.

If anyone is interested in a speck of good news, I had my very first ever estradiol shot this evening! Sept 17th forever becomes my HRT-versary. Its been such a long journey already, but there is so much more for me to go. I can do it.

The best thing Kimmel could do right now is do what the Right does when it is deplatformed: replatform yourself on another service, go live, and dunk on the administration harder than ABC would ever have allowed him to. Go full South Park on them. Do an hour on Patel lying under oath about Epstein.

"Hey! So how are you doing today?" "Well, a significant portion of our country is trying to convince everyone that I, who cannot so much as kill a cockroach, am a violent psychopath. So. Not great."

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

I (39 years old) came out to my parents this weekend. They told me they never want to see or hear from me ever again. My kids, their grandkids, too. Indefinite "do not contact". Between this and the villification of trans people in the news by influential people, Im really starting to lose it.

Please please follow this person if you dont already. Spread this.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

I wish I was smaller. I dont mean "shorter" or "weighed less" or "smaller frame" (although Id like all those as well). I mean... I dont know. Smaller. Like really small. Tiny. I wish I took up less space. Needed less food. My voice was quieter. Needed less everything. I wish I was smaller.

*sigh* When do we hit rock bottom? When do we get to the point where the only place left to go is up? Im so tired. Of... everything. Can I just wake up? Am I even in some place to be waking up *from*? And if the answer is no, then the next time I'm in that place, can I just... not?

Pretty annoying that if you Google, "How to start disassociating to cope with depression" (emphasis on *start*) all you get are hundreds of articles on how to *stop*. Dammit, Google.

I 100% understand this and feel the same way. Ive been avoiding voluntary human contact for weeks now because I dont like and I fear the affect I have on people. It is actually really nice to see this written out like this in words. It makes sense. Thank you.

there's three years until the election. Your need to prop up an anti-trans candidate right now suggests you're fine with people losing rights as long as it's not you. You're the evil part of the "lesser evil" label we give Dems in this country. You suck.

Gavin hasn’t even officially thrown his name in the race, and yet we have people telling us we’re evil if we don’t vote for him. 🫠

These "concerned about us" accounts that pretend to be progressive are always right wing trolls. Always. The mask comes off eventually. Every time.

"Why wont trans people understand that *I* know what is best for them?!" I wonder what other examples throughout history exist of a majority group paternally insisting they know what is "best" for a minority group?

Good on you, man. #chatactergrowth

Fucking word.

I have private insurance and am due to start HRT in a matter of days. I should not, right? If I start, and some changes happen, and then am forcibly removed if (when?) the gov makes it illegal for private carriers, I would be worse off than if I had never started, right?

I really think this post and my comment on it need to be repeated to those dems angry about "purity tests". The D party believes that abandoning us and our votes is a net positive for them. Im not saying they are right. But it has happened. So stop asking for our votes back.

Its really discouraging when you see people who clearly have the time and other resources to be allies and make a differenfe, but choose not to anyway. What a bummer.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

I yearn for the day when a single joke about how shitty the Democrats are is no longer relevant lol (ht @mattielubchansky.com buy her book simplicity)

“But if all the parties are transphobic that that just means that transphobia is reality, not that you are being persecuted. I mean, that’s just common sense. Everyone feel down sometimes. Pull yourselves together. Whistle a happy tune. Perverts” - cis people

Whelp, it was a mistake. I definitely made a mistake. I shouldnt have come out at work. Not while I still dont look right. It was wrong, I shouldve known better. Im smarter than this. Im trying to draft a letter to walk it all back while maintaining some amount of credibility. Its hard 😥 So stupid!

Id have to move. I think I would, though. I mean, Id have to. I dont know if I want this or not for the US, but what if the alternative is quite a bit worse?

I think really the story of the past ten years was people taking for granted 21st century liberalism was locked in and therefore you could just kinda be fashy for a laugh only to realize a moment too late Skinhead Steve wasn’t joking after all.

So I've learned that Bluesky gets tending topics that come and go and really do infect everywhere and everyone on here. And it is *relentless*. Today's feels far too mean-spirited and unempathetic for me, but I cant avoid it. So Im going to break for a few days and see if it's gone when I get back.

You can't compromise with bad faith, because they're not articulating a sincere position. There is no form or level of trans inclusion that will be acceptable, because they will just continue to lie about it!

The underlying problem with having a "nuanced opinion on trans athletes" is that the status quo was already the nuanced view (typically a certain period on hormones, usually years post transition, decided on a sport by sport basis BY their awarding bodies), critics don't actually want that.

And so it begins... Evangelical legal group asks Supreme Court to overturn same-sex marriage ruling [Obergefell v. Hodges]

Alaska has had a UBI since 1982. Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek both supported UBI and they were ardent capitalists. We're talking about cash to spend in private markets on private goods and services.

You've made it abundantly clear that you have no obligation to trans people. Why get so upset when they realize they have no obligation to you either?

‘The fight for trans safety is a fight for everyone’s safety. The campaign against trans people is not about anyone’s safety. It is exactly what it looks like: an organised effort to drive a tiny minority from public life, back into the closet.’ - Freddy McConnell

If I had a dollar for every time someone I came out to called me the wrong name and then froze like they just heard the click of a landmine and are waiting for the explosion. Only to have me shrug and say don't worry about it.

It's really this simple.

In all fairness, most other pimps would have had Epstein killed for taking his girls... oh, never mind.

show this to every consultant who thinks chasing toxic masculinity is the way to getting going men's votes

How can we be so unimportant to you that our rights dont matter but so important to you that we are *responsible* if you lose an election? We absolutely cannot be both that important and unimportant at the same time.

This train is never late: “It’s only the first 100 days, you can’t criticize Biden!” “It’s almost the midterms you can’t criticize Dems!” “It’s a presidential election next year you can’t criticize Dems!” Let me know when the 2 week “criticize Dems now” period starts. I always get it wrong.
