More on the racism and barrier Zara has had to face here in Canada.
Also check on the news story on The Tyee.
Zara has faced some major challenges while white peers of similar stories are getting approved in their claims. Heartbreaking to see our systems failing her with extra barriers and no reasonable explanation other than racism.

Me giving @nefariouself.bsky.social a good morning kiss and bite.
…“I don’t think I bit you at all yesterday.”
“You can go a day without biting. Doesn’t mean you have to give extra today.”
Tsk which is worse, the bite or the sass I get from my love language? 😝

Some general information on what it means to be transgender from a neutral Canadian education source. Yes it is very basic but its neutrality is key. I like using it as the resource for where I’m living as it’s harder to accuse it of being a “trans propaganda”. Anyone have other websites they like?

Clearing up some identifiers because I think there still needs to be more awareness on the spectrum of things instead of binary. So here is the rundown of my Social/Legal/Medical transition and why I am using They/Them and She/Her type pronouns. 🧵

Jimmy Kimmel is a symptom of a huge problem: a concentrated media ecosystem beholden to corporate whims.
Canadian media struggles with this too.
Consider Global News' management making Ben Mulroney a top political host.
It's a worryingly partisan decision, especially given what I just uncovered:

As someone who struggles with gender dysphoria and physical and mental disability, this song is hitting so hard with the reminder to try to be kind to the vessel I have to occupy. So heartwarming that the artist created a female and gender neutral version.

Frustrated at a text the other morning I let out a groan. @nefariouself.bsky.social was like “why you growling kitten?” before breaking out in a shit eating grin (she never called me that before and I needed a moment of pausing and blushing to process a new nickname). Tonight she shows me this:

Had my first right of passage today as a trans person; a person very confused and offended that they couldn’t tell my gender. Then got hyper upset at they them pronouns. I mean I’m glad I’m closer to that tipping point in my journey? 😆

Alright I want this shirt. Though I’m a bit less fighty today so not as desperate of a need as on the weekend.
From a miserable gender dysphoric goth teen to a confident actress proudly modeling my own trans fem characters shirt on Hot Topics front page…at one time, I didn’t think things would get better. They absolutely fucking did. Survive. Thrive.
