Obviously I Don’t Love That The UH Shooter Is An Alt Right Shithead, But I Really Don’t Think We

I've spend the last two weeks speedrunning coming out as a trans woman to my coworkers, extended family, and the assorted friends I'd collected through Facebook and I've been shocked and overwhelmed by how enthusiastically supportive cis women have been in particular. After doomscrolling through TERF shit for the past year, I'd become convinced that cis women tended towards distrust of trans women, with a significant percentage actively vitriolic. But, time and time again, I've received effusive praise from the cis women I come out to. Not just progressive women either: Christian Facebook-moms from Texas have been enormously supportive. I've gotten some support from cis men too, but nothing nearly as passionate, and they've been the source of all the awkward avoidance or disgusted looks I've experienced. It makes complete sense: cis women generally like being women, and most of them like it a lot, so why wouldn't they celebrate somebody else becoming like them? This really drives home how dishonest TERFism is: they present themselves as the voice of women, but really they're just a regressive minority, distorting the issues to lead people away from their inclination towards love and acceptance.

My gender is NOT a good idea to be.

... you know what, I'll take it.

[If you're reading this, consider yourself tagged! ... should you so wish, of course]

Type "my gender is" on your phone and let your phone finish the sentence, then tag your moots to keep the chain going, I'll go first.

My gender is a little bit more intense than I thought I could have done

The best thing I’ve learned this week is that some alcohol has a pear inside the bottle

How did it get in there? Like this of course

Bottles are slid over young fruits and tied to the trunk for stability. This makes them very difficult to care for and frankly the goofiest looking pear tree I’ve ever seen but am I going to buy a bottle of this just to stare at it? Probably.
