you ever wanna kiss your beautiful gf who loves you

Sorry to be blunt, but we think there's two distinct TDOVs happening today: One is the performance of activism for allies to coddle them with good vibes, the other is by the mass of unemployed desperate people hoping someone will buy them pizza today.

you should treat a trans person today

You can't buy indulgences from trans people that give you Special Permission to enjoy Harry Potter shit. We're not a church, that's not how any of this works. You can *do* whatever you want, but you have to shoulder the ethical burden of enriching a virulent transphobe on your own.

Lots of cis people understand on some level that engaging with hp directly harms trans people and it's why they get so immediately defensive about it. They need to rationalize themselves as the "real" victims of bullying vs. the people whose rights/safety are under threat to protect their self image

Crossing state borders for HRT. Insurance denials. Missed surgeries. U.S. Catholic bishops imposed a ban on all trans healthcare throughout the church's massive networks. That's left working class trans people struggling even more. Our latest, by @davidforbes.bsky.social are some of their stories:

my firm ideological opposition to learned helplessness extends to useless lesbianism. that shit is not cute!!!! talk about your feelings you cowards!!!!!

Genuinely one of the best deals in the sale do NOT sleep on Black Tabby Games.

A common trans feminine fantasy is to imagine yourself as someone with a much higher social standing and support network, such as a dog.

They want to make us criminals for needing to pee. Please understand that this is the tip of an agenda designed to give trans people two choices: house arrest or imprisonment. Either we lock ourselves inside or they lock us up and forcibly detransition and torture us. This is exterminationist.

Now is not the time to ask your trans friends if they are okay. Now is the time to send your trans friends care packages, find them jobs, and ask your doctor about a HRT prescription you don't actually need.

i booked a same-day flight to florence yesterday to be with my mom after she had a life-threatening heart event. she is very sick and remains in the ICU, and we were not prepared for anything like this. any shares and donations are so appreciated, thank you ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

get doorknob'd idiot

My gf Vyria is having her bottom surgery soon. I'll be her caretaker at the hospital. I need to be there so she is not recovering alone and I need help with the travel expenses & loss of work while I care for her. I've set up a goal of $1044 to cover the costs. ko-fi.com/reinav

It's nice to see institutional validation for what the community has been screaming about for years but doesn't give much comfort since the historical response to genocide always seems to be letting it happen and then everyone who could have done something just acting appalled after it's done.

The first time I ever heard Teen Idle I started sobbing and "didn't know why" still hits me like a shot through the heart

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

NO ONE tells you you're trans. They tell you the opposite, in fact. Even now, people tell me I should quit HRT and just crossdress if it makes me happy

Accept no substitutes:

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

>be me >ask a guy out >handwritten confession >he tears it apart >wipes away my tears >"but... why?" >"ill kill you"

Because they're petrified of trans people who've transitioned early and are 'undetectable". They want to make transition—if allowed at all—as arduous, painful, stigmatizing, and protracted as possible. To their petty thinking, trans people represent an existential threat to patriarchal 'norms'.

Now playing Mega Man Legends 2

since The Atlantic is apparently reviving the "a was a feminine gay child, but if I was a kid today they would have 'transed' me" trope, here's an essay I wrote back in 2020 explaining why this is not true & there is no evidence to support it: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-...

If ANYONE had said to me when i was little that people transitioned I would have begged to do it. Our society does not want trans kids to even understand the horror they endure. this is also why the "egg prime directive" is bullshit. "People can be pressured to transition" is a fascist talking point

I don't think people's problem with, for example, the paper's decade-long crusade putting a big ol' target on trans people's backs can be accurately described as NYT doing "reporting that doesn't always 100% accord with what advocacy groups want."

every day i wake up and do my best to carve out moments of happiness with people who love me but it gets pretty fucking hard sometimes when in the back of my head it keeps sinking in that there is a nonzero and increasing chance ill end up tortured to death by the government within the next 4 years

Supporters of this illegal war are saying Donald Trump is a hero because Khamenei killed protesters and oppressed women and queer people and irony is just dead at this point.

I was preparing to hear some good stories about whaling

Why does everyone in the opening city scene of resident evil: requiem have so much CAKE 😳

i’m sorry that our misery at being removed from public existence is harshing your vibe

the open contempt some "allies" are expressing for the trans community saying "our fundamental rights and ability to live in society are not negotiable" just reveals they never saw us as actual people. just like conservatives they view us as objects meant to serve their political and sexual desires

everything is increasingly intolerable all the time.

every trans girl is fighting a secret fight that you can solve by giving her 20 thousand dollars

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

Happy 'entering the town of Twin Peaks' day to those that celebrate 🥳

as we continue to celebrate 40 years of Zelda i’d like to say that i sincerely love the existence of the official timeline. Nintendo got backed into a corner by forum nerds and said “oh you want a real timeline? here’s some shit that’s way more stupid than you expected”

til [ ] do us part #signalis

Every trans person who comes out in this climate is a living rebuttal to every headline that tries to erase them.

This is barbaric. There is no world where people don't die because of this policy. That's one of the many, many reasons the courts ordered these policies be changed in the first place after decades of refusal. But that's the point of this change, isn't it?
