If you’re ever surprised by how clueless we, as a people, appear to be sometimes, just remember that a scant 25 years ago The Blair Witch project came out and 90% of the population was like “holy shit is this REAL?!”

I’ve mentioned this before, but if you’re short on cash but have an urge to shop, go to your library digital apps and browse the books, audiobooks, movies, shoes, magazines. It works really well to give you the same feeling without spending the cash. (Plus you’re supporting public libraries.) 💙📚

What a lot of anti-trans activists who fret over the future fertility of trans kids (an important issue, this is why informed consent is so important) don't realize is that for much of history trans people who wanted to transition were required in many countries to be sterilized.
