trans friends, remember:
you're trans if you need HRT, and trans if you don't
you're trans if you need surgeries, and trans if you don't
you're trans if you socially transition, and trans if you don't
you're trans if you medically transition, and trans if you don't
YOU'RE TRANS IF YOU SAY YOU ARE

pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly:
there’s a great evil warlock in this world and it’s whoever designed scroll bars that are only one hair wide and disappear when you’re not using them

you can not vote if that’s your choice
but in the US there is no sitch where withholding your vote materially helps trans people, disabled people, Black people, immigrants, seniors, the incarcerated, or any other marginalized community
“the thing is what it does” and not voting helps republicans 🤷🏻‍♀️

2024-08-07 23:20:23

normalize saying media you don’t like is “not for you” rather than “bad”
not all art is actually for YOU and that’s okay
just because it’s for someone else doesn’t make it somehow worse than the things that are for you
let people like things

2024-08-04 22:51:23

this is a rapidly overlooked component of what’s going on with the Olympics right now
there’s a lot of transphobia and it’s terrible for the cis people it’s happening to
but being compared to a trans person is, like… not a bad thing
it’s the TRANSPHOBIA that’s bad
don’t get it twisted

2024-08-02 13:55:16

hi
if you support “sex testing” and the like in sports, not only are you being a transphobe who doesn’t understand science or sports…
you’re perpetuating literal NAZI IDEAS
https://time.com/6998445/nazi-myth-olympics-gender-testing/

2024-08-02 00:43:48

if i had remembered the Olympics were this year i could have planned better and had a revision of this ready to go
because of course trans people in sports became an “issue” again
OF COURSE IT DID 😡
anyway here’s my debunking on how it’s absolute NONSENSE BIGOTRY

reminder: puberty blockers are being outlawed for trans kids but remain legal everywhere for cis kids
trans kids aren’t getting genital surgeries, but every state that’s outlawed health care for trans kids has made an explicit carve-out to KEEP forcing genital surgeries on intersex kids
it’s hypocrisy all the way down, they only care about upholding the false cis binary

2024-07-22 15:26:48

i haven’t fact checked all of this yet, but the links are in there
it seems Harris may have been unfairly maligned as transphobic, in the way BIPOC women get the blame for everything
she’s apologized for her mistake, and may in fact be the most pro-trans presidential candidate EVER

four years ago i came out publicly as trans, finally being the real me after a lifetime of not
and that was after five years of knowing but having to wait
it’s been the best four years of my life in every way
live without regrets
you only get one life
make it YOURS 🩷

you’re prolly seeing a lot about the 2025 project to rapidly enact fascism across the board if trump takes office
and it’s horrible and disgusting and awful across the board
and I don’t want it lost in the shuffle that part of it is making it LITERALLY ILLEGAL to be trans

people will put “trans rights are human rights” in their bio and then say without a hint of irony that they won’t even vote to keep Trump out of office
“ally” is a verb, and if your ACTION isn’t supporting and defending us you don’t get to call yourself one

2024-07-03 21:37:02

being me in LA means sometimes you just see Jonathan Del Arco in a “resistance is not futile” Pride shirt at costco but you can’t tell him you loved him so much as Hugh because your mouth is full of pizza

new trans Tuesday tomorrow, but here’s last week’s festival of joy if you missed it
to every other trans/nonbinary person out there, i hope you too can have a day filled with more love than you thought was possible 🩷

2024-06-20 17:15:22

this aired last sunday and it left me speechless
however bad you think another trump presidency would be, it'd be worse. you need to understand the full extent of the 2025 Project
if you're thinking about not voting because Biden pisses you off (understandable!), WATCH THIS NOW

BEGIN TRANSMISSION: THE TRANS ALLEGORIES OF THE MATRIX is for trans people, so you can understand how deeply seen and understood by the Matrix films we are. they’re OUR story
but it’s also SUPER for cis people, because these movies have so much to say about YOU and why nothing will ever get better for us without your help 🩷

reminder that “transwomen” as one word is a bigot dog whistle
you wouldn’t write “seniorwomen” or “whitewomen” as one word, would you?
we are trans women, written just as you would for any other type of woman
please don’t participate in othering us

2024-06-02 21:51:47

a reminder that kindness is a choice we can actively make

trans women don’t owe you performative femininity

2024-05-26 21:53:37

here’s the thing
it’s hard to believe but it’s so so true
NOBODY gets to tell you who you are, or who you have to be
i don’t care what they say, or what society says, and neither should you
break out of that box
fly free
you’re worth it, babe 🩷

i think one of the reasons trans women are so vilified is because society “gifted” us with masculinity and collectively we said
nah

I don’t have all the answers, none of us does

tonight’s Matrix watch party was extraordinary. A community of trans folks and allies watching a movie that means so much to us… a bunch of folks took their HRT when Neo took the red pill 🥹 it was truly beautiful 💜
all thanks to @npub1gg8…439g and @npub149u…nps4 for coming up with this and making it happen.

the studios let the strike go for months and lost more money than what the WGA is asking (and then spent even more on PR firms fighting the strike)
12k people could get livable careers for AN INCREDIBLY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF PROFITS WE MAKE THEM but that would mean less yachts for them so
when you have no new tv this fall remember who is actually to blame
