Being trans is a prayer for something better, and god helps those who help themselves.

Honestly, same.

Go to a local dsa meeting or mutual aid group, local democrat party chapter if you’re desperate, and look for the people actually working on shit. Fight local.

Good thing these laws won’t protect kids, I guess.

Yes and no. Or, rather, yes, but.

Yes, I’m noticing the MAGAs getting thinner, the die hard have a harder and harder time. The Epstein thing actually fucked them up pretty bad.

The (conservative, by the rules) democrats I know and work with are absolutely committed to dropping this ball.

I want to live in tuckers world.

Oh my GOD that’s rad!!!! I grew up on Mario paint, this is fantastic.

You’re right, human rights is pretty important.

The Dems have three years to find someone with policies acceptable to their constituents. This flock of good enough is and has been useless.

No one is owed love, and it is a special privilege that someone devote their time and energy to you, not a given.

That said, straights want us dead in a ditch, so I absolutely do not care if more and more and more straight men choose to wallow in their filth and evil instead of dating. That’s good.

Tbh, it’s hard for me to figure out. I can confidently point out femininity in my younger selves, but I don’t think I had a strong sense of self until shortly before transition

I feel a lot of compassion for all the mechsploitation girlies, ya know? It’s hard to be when someone else determines how.

Part of it is that I have always been in flux, and there is no before to say. I was never heavily or naturally masculine in behavior or mindset, was pretty regularly third sexed even as a kid.

The only time I was a MAYN was the flimsy attempt to stave off what I’d realized, and I was bad at it.

Oh, no, you’re good, uh, read in a playfully debating tone?

Look, man, some girls were always girls and there isn’t a pre, we got a lot to talk about here.

The trans version of the bechdel is probably, two trans people, of different social backgrounds, discuss transition and disagree about anything.

This reminds me of a drabble I wrote of myself talking to my 10 and 24 year old selves, and I can firmly say I don’t know,

I think that depends on the trans women, their definition of the words ‘pre’, ‘transition’ ‘male’ and ‘selves.’

I want salvation so fu-… sorry, my iPad autocorrected salmacian to sal-I mean she’s riiIIIiiight, but that’s a strong move.

Also, I genuinely really love this approach and I wish more writers would just upend canon because canon sucks in comparison to telling a story.
