(in the voice of a guy that will defy fate to save you) i don't care

for years i've been collecting gifs from those gifsets where every gif is a word in a sentence but only the ones that just say 'the' and i'm wondering if i should finally publish my collection

imagine being forced to do all of the courting in your relationships. now imagine having gendered expectations around doing that courting. now imagine having dysphoria that is triggered by those gendered expectations but still being put in a position where if you do not do the courting you will not have a dating life. text that trans gal first.

witness protection sucks because they give you a new name and a new id and the id has a new gender on it and you try to tell them that it’s wrong but then they just hand you a bag of pills and a skirt and call you a good girl and you’ve just gotta deal with it.

It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.

There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!

white t girl i love you. and also do not forget that you are not the modern martyr for the oppressed voice. that's still black girls. it's always been black girls. stories of black martyrdom simply don't make it into the news cycle until the unrest caused by its reporting can be packaged as a "riot" segment between traffic reports. i know you suffer, but whatever you're experiencing, i beg you, when interacting with your community and building nuanced understandings of each other and the system which binds us, to not forget that a black tgirl has felt it 100 times worse before positioning yourself as an authority on all systems of oppression for having suffered unjustly at all. because you have suffered unjustly, but suffering unjustly as a white person means something so much different.

The thing that gets me about the "Dude" discourse is that it feels like a simple question of respect?

I don't like getting called dude or bro. Most transfems I know don't like getting called dude or bro.

It doesn't really matter if it's intended to be used in a gender neutral way, cause that's often not the effect that it is having.

And not calling someone dude or bro or anything like that is super easy.

And if you mess up, you can just say "my bad" and move on.

I cant stop thinking about "to be a trans woman in the larger queer community is to surround yourself with potential ticking time bombs." I've fully lost count of how many time bombs I've essentially begged to see me as fully human. How many I can never know if I fully diffused or if I just prolonged the inevitable. I've lost track of how many have exploded in my face. I try and review the list in my mind and it's like be burned all over again
