Anyone Else Feeling The Effects Lately. Due To All The Things

i will never be against piracy ever but i also need physical media to remain

hello again (bill clinton limewire voice) my fellow americans

There are a few states that actually have Shield/Refuge laws designed to help trans people fleeing from trans-unsafe states, which also guarantee trans folks access to healthcare. These states are:

California

Colorado

Illinois

Oregon

Vermont

Washington

Minnesota

New Mexico

Maine

Massachusetts

Rhode Island

Connecticut

Washington D.C.

Additionally, some states have "trans sanctuary" executive orders signifying safety for trans folks seeking healthcare. These states are:

Maryland

New Jersey

New York

Living as a resident in these states means you are protected by state's rights and state government to continue or begin receiving trans healthcare. These laws have been codified in their states so everything has been a-ok'd by their state governments.

Stay alive. You got this. I love you.

edit: this post is not for terfs. trans women are women.

you ever just think about how across the whole of human history, the window of time where women have been able to choose not to spend their lives cooking and cleaning and being pregnant for men they never wanted to marry is so vanishingly small, and even then that’s not an option for women in lots of areas of the world, and there are girls being taken out of school and forced to marry at 12 years old, and if nothing changes for them then all they’ll ever know is a life of forced servitude and abuse and rape, and how some men just see this as fucking normal

you ever just think about how the gulf between women’s rights in different countries is so massive and there are men working their fingers to the bone to strip back reproductive rights because they look at their society where women can live their lives free from being shackled to men through financial dependence and constant pregnancy and childbirth and think ‘this won’t do at all’

you ever just think about the surge of ‘tradwife’ propaganda and how people are romanticising the vulnerability and dependence that some women would kill to break out of. how women are romanticising their own oppression

one must imagine sisyphus getting his money up and his pussy up

the transsexual that has suffered 10,000 quiet indignities does not stop dreaming of a better world

its crazy that before i realized im trans i never wanted to grow up, and could never imagine a future as a woman.

but, i am so excited to be a man. im looking forward to meeting myself, to maybe being a dad, to growing old.

its funny how things change.

idk it is sad to me how “twink death” means growing old, which often means getting fat and becoming disabled and going gray and whatever, is equivalent to basically dying for some people. the implication is that thesee things everyone will go through to some extent make you no longer sexy, ergo loveable and worthy of life. can you imagine being a young gay man who hears and internalizes this? the levels of self hatred one had to live with? ive never been more aware of the little circle i live within.

"'I have led a toothless life,' he thought. 'A toothless life. I have never bitten into anything. I was waiting. I was reserving myself for later on--and I have just noticed that my teeth have gone. What's to be done?'"

-Jean-Paul Sartre, The Age of Reason (1945)

system of a clown. if you even care

accepting that you’re objectively weird & owning it is infinitely better than being constantly desperate to appear normal to people who don’t even matter to you
