Posting faggot and queer like 2am gunshots to keep property values on my blog low and scare away assimilationist LGBTs who want to replace my empty lot full of native wildflowers with a 5-over-1 because they're too traumatized by their upbringing to accept the reality of our diverse marginalized community

stop banning trans women for no reason
i made this comic to share some of my thoughts on trans day of visibility!! idk if its very eloquent but gimme a break ive just been moving and starting a new job and joining the circus and
a bit late but wanted to revisit an unfinished sketch for today
happy trans visibility day, lets keep fighting for eachother
Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Okay, so a thought that has been rattling around for a bit and I need to share. Do the Takers also take the memories and personality of the bodies they possess or do they observe how they act before proceeding? I haven't seen any mention or talks about sudden changed in personality or memory loss, not even mentioned as something cats realized in hindsight. I feel like I'm on to something and if I am, that just makes everything more terrifying in my eyes.

Very good point! In the beginning they didn't, which is another reason they couldn't stay hidden— but after one or two were outed because they acted too different too suddenly they adapted and changed.
Takers went after elderly, sick or kittens, a group that if they withdrew for a while and slowly started to change personalities it wasn't as easy to catch. They just became calmer and quieter. But that obviously didn't last because their bodies didn't age.
I want to be known: the Takers adapt very very fast! 2 got figured out because they acted too different too fast? Everyone changes the game. Can't take the usual game because it's noticeable? We go after the sick then.
The Takers nowadays do observe for a bit (a bit being hours but never more than a day), they also take context clues from the cats around them— but ultimately they're withdrawn and quiet if they did a full body take. The patchwork takers have no such boundaries, they consider themselves as new and act however they please.
The reason Cicada was discovered was because she was walking around with a broken back and because she couldn't hold a conversation without a grin. The living Cicada was soft and gentle, she also took her health very seriously. So she was an easy spot.
Fun thing that will never be brought up in the story but people might like to know!
Glowfern died naturally on her way home. Takers are not gentle, they can't sufficiently kill a cat without leaving marks, overkilling, or doing something that a normal cat wouldn't just walk off. Glowfern had been stalked by a Taker periodically in her time in Chasingclan. She never saw it but she did feel it, this is why she left earlier than she had planned. She never saw the Taker till near the rift, in which it couldn't hide in the shorter grass — she got so scared that she messed up her jump over the rift and broke her neck. The Taker simply took the opportunity presented.

More @/PawpsicleW content :3
the whole "trans men just have sexual trauma" thing absolutely infuriates me, as someone who was practically brainwashed into believing i was raped by conversion therapists as a kid.
i have been an obvious transsexual my entire life. i told everyone i was a boy. i was just told it was normal and nobody wants to be a girl. i told my mom i wanted a dick and balls and she said, "no you dont."
i was put in conversion therapy, diagnosed with autism, despite not having many of the symptoms, and put on Risperdal. an anti psychotic drug that was not meant to be used in children as young as i was, that also "just so happens" to cause out of control breast growth. (it also caused me to become obese and struggle with my weight for years even after i stopped taking it, despite never having weight problems before.)
therapists and my parents would constantly tell me that i was hiding something and try to hypnotize me into remembering it, i had no idea what it was, i was told something horrible happened to me and i had to remember it, i kept telling them i dont remember, and they told me i had memory problems. they kept telling me i had a memory locked away somewhere and i had to recover it, i had no idea what they meant by this.
i have no idea how to describe the way that i felt because of this. the feeling didnt go away when the therapy ended. it stayed with me for YEARS. my entire childhood and most of my teenage years i felt like i had a dark and evil secret that i couldnt even remember. it stuck with me, i didnt even know what it was. they marked me socially and mentally as a "rape victim" without it even happening, without me even understanding what they had done.
i didnt find out until i was a teenager that the therapists were telling my parents i had been raped. based on nothing. you know what happened in these therapy sessions? i played with animal toys and told the therapist i didnt want to go to school and that i wanted to be a boy. i told them i hated my name. and wanted to be called by a different name. they told me i had a deep dark secret i needed to remember and confess to them.
because marking me as someone who had been raped would emasculate me.
