News mega: country is at WAR and fascism is RISING and weeks are becoming DECADES!
trans mega: it is fun to be cute and take estrogen
BBC coverage of the Olympics keeps refering to Algerian boxer Imane Khelif as ‘they’ rather than she. vile behaviour attempting to strip a woman of colour of her womanhood, a common racist colonialist tactic. the white lady lost, go find another grift
I love having long hair. So gender
tw: outing
spoiler
I was recently clocked and subsequently outed in public in a busy coffee shop by another trans woman that I did not know in front of my social worker. Is it not bad form for another trans person to come up to another trans person like that? The most I ever do is silently nod/acknowledge another trans person’s existence in public and go on about my day.
It would be different if she was in distress or needed help or something, but she just wanted to shoot the shit with me and talk about our transness which made things very awkward for me with my social worker. It really pissed me off that another trans person would do this to me.
Is there a Trans Code of Conduct?
:::
This Olympics trans panic is completely fucked up. What everyone said would happen when you police gender, there’s no trans women to attack so they go after cis women who aren’t feminine enough.
The weird thing is that if you use a broader lens on gender (Leslie Feinberg, Judith Butler etc style), where gender non-conforming, “masculine” and “butch” women are transgender, a large swath of female Olympians are kind of trans masc coded just by virtue of being extreme sportswomen.
It’s like reactionaries are gazing on this secret truth of the universe that gender is a construct and these gender norms are being subverted by countless atheltes, and then doing a complete 180 to be like “oh they’ve got to be a man”.
deprivation
Been housing more homeless trans folks. Y’all, I’m worried. This past year has been a spike our mutual aid network hasn’t seen before. We’re stretched real thin :x One house is housing four trans people in two bedrooms
Fuck Biden, America, etc so on and so forth
So I just came out to like a ton of family, and they are all taking it well which is very surprising to me.
Is it weird that I feel weird as hell? I’ve been thinking about this for like over a year and like, it’s done, and a part of me is scared that I’m actually not trans, that I’m cis, and that I will have to go back… It’s weird.
Like I’ve been doing this for a while now, really almost a year since I started socially transitioning.
8 months on E, I’ve never really felt better and like all my suicidal ideation issues are pretty much gone. I see myself for the most part. I am happy. Then why do I feel like I’m lying to myself? Why am I so scared that maybe I was all wrong? I don’t wanna end my transition. But like I am so so so scared I’ll be forced to for some reason… Idk this is a really confusing feeling
righteous fury, cishet scum discussion
lemmy is filled with SO MUCH TRASH and cishet scum intruding on trans places. this is the only fucking place that is safe and filled to the brim with trans people on any site on the internet im in. even random discord chats let cis people come in and berate the trans userbase, and of course theyre fucking wastelands with a handful of libs in charge.
i’m so fucking glad i own guns and live out in the middle of nowhere, if i ever had to deal with these transphobic cis fucks within 5 miles of me theyd be grizzly chow
anyways, how are yall doing today? 😇
‘I like hanging in trans spaces just because I like the memes, I’m still cis tho. You can be cis and voluntarily surround yourself with memes about transitioning’
STATEMENTS DREAMED UP BY THE UTTERLY DERANGED
I hereby declare it illegal for any cis person to make “I identify as” jokes. Any violation of this rule will be met with the harshest of consequences.
It can’t be a micropenis if it’s statistically above average for most women
