"Thanksgiving" è uno dei giorni dell'anno in cui mi sento meno americana e meno orgoglioso di esserlo. Ma Italia ha respinto la mia domanda di cittadinanza per un cavillo stupido, quindi immagino che dovrete accontentarvi di me. Però non fatemi mangiare il tacchino (perché è sempre così insipido???)

If you're cis, trans people are your coalmine canary for a collection of civil liberties.
BODILY AUTONOMY: does your body belong to you, or to your parents/husband/state?
PRIVACY: do you owe everyone you meet a full medical history?
EXPRESSION: to what extent is your clothing a legal matter?

i DEEPLY hate the term. it's patronizing, it's a stupid euphemism, it plays into the transphobic notion that cis people are humoring us, it's epistemological oppression to avoid saying the word trans, 90% of the shit cis people do isn't called "gender affirming", etc
it's fucking trans healthcare.

high key i hate the term "gender affirming care"

imagine a world where politicians said stuff like this about trans health care, too. coz they totally could, from a science perspective
We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Can't remember who posted it but someone wrote their French boyfriend saw American protests on the news, and said basically "how do your protesters expect to achieve anything when there are no government buildings on fire?"

Why do Dems constantly take bad faith right wing premises and put them through this weird filter of "we are focused on continuing with our game plan to find solutions quickly on an ongoing basis for our communities to ensure improved outcomes"? Fuck their evil ass focus-grouped word salad bullshit

As for validity, well.
My 'preferred' pronouns, & my 'chosen' gender, and my 'dignity & respect' aren't much good on their own.
I need HRT.
I need access to civil society, without harassment & violence.
I need legal recognition.
I have material needs validity does not touch.
It's a platitude.

This is why I’m such an evangelist for Going Outside. The fact that for so many trans people “community" is synonymous with “online" has turned our own relations with each other into a spectacle to be consumed by The Cis, which in some sense we're always aware of.

One of the most famous salsa songs of all time by the greatest salsa orchestrator ever, Willie Colon, was about a trans woman in 1986 and preaching acceptance and pushing back on the dominant homophobia and transphobia in Puero Rico machista culture.

My unpopular opinion is that modern drag is creatively dead and uninteresting, and that sapphic pole dancing should supplant it as the dominant queer performance art medium.
Perhaps we should all post our most unpopular opinions and have an unpopular opinion day. Real people have at least one unpopular opinion.
