The word Spell originated in Old English, some 1000 years ago. BUT back then the word meant Story.
So, it is a linguistic truth that to tell a story is to cast a spell, and to cast a spell is to tell a story.
Every story we tell ourselves and others, big or small, is true magic ✨

Sometimes being trans is looking back on your life & thinking "how did I not realise sooner?", and sometimes being trans is having guys you know say shit like "going clubbing makes me sad because I get jealous that the women are having a better time than me" & thinking "...how does HE not realise?"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

When trauma has conditioned you to feel shame for who you are, you learn to adapt by presenting a false self. This works in the short term - it shields you from abuse - but over time it teaches you to flee from yourself. Too often we swap one mask for another when we transition
its weird that this kind of post will inevitably gather bitter responses from some trans people on this site. like damn 4chan really did rot out some of your brains huh i do really hope in time "you shouldn't feel ashamed about who you are" becomes less of a controversial statement amongst trans ppl
even if the world is mean and cruel i still think there's good in accepting yourself

my most woke opinion is that puberty blockers should be free of access to any teen who requests them even from a general practicioner. they should also be made aware of the option somewhere between age 9 to 11 in school.

No matter how tough, scary and militaristic a fascist dictator tries to portray themselves, they will always fall into a sobbing petulant mess when rejected sexually.
This is why they are determined to eradicate sex-positivity first and foremost, and why feminism is the core to liberation.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

especially if they're trans femme, where v coding and forcible de-transition is usually part of the punishment. even australia is bad for that.
What you should take from this is that with very few (rich, white) exceptions, incarcerated people in this country are treated worse, and with less humanity, than you can possibly imagine.
Apparently, Ghislaine Maxwell is living it up in prison with unlimited toilet paper. Here’s what we know about her alleged special privileges at her new federal prison camp in Texas.

it's interesting how much the idea of HRT being risky or "dangerous" comes back to people not recognising that bio identical means identical to natural hormones, both "sexes" start out with some quantity of estrogen and testosterone by default, and all that ever happens with your risk profiles..

The UK just has incredible attention to detail when it comes to making sure the people who pay all the taxes can’t have nice things. Child benefit? No. Free Child car? No. Cut price bike to cycle to work? No.
Functionally we are telling people they pay too much tax to get anything from the state.
