🍂 cis people aren't trans btw

oh no

if being cissexual makes you uncomfortable, you can always medically transition

Really proud that our first commissioned guest article at The Needle is live and that we're already at a point where we were able to "afford" a single guest article this month.

NOT EVERYTHING IS VALID

1. a -> b
2. c -> d
3. ∴ a -> d

INVALID! KNOW THE SIGNS!

this is why the distinction of being transsexual is important to me. fuck you.

if you see a trans woman on the street and you don’t immediately surrender two 20s and a ten or ask for her cashapp then you’re denying our lived experience or some shit

Our community has lost another sister. Her own college hosted a discussion around "The Trans Question" last winter, which only redoubled Lia's efforts to fight for her friends and community. You will be missed more than you could ever know, Lia.

“What is good mirror habits?” If you don’t have a functional reason to be looking at your face, then don’t. Did the ancient human waste her time staring in the river, comparing her jaw to her nose angle? No she got the berries out of her teeth filled her basin and left

Your dress rules!

The reflection and the photo is not an objective reality you fool, when it’s your mind seeing your own face, the feeling of it and the seeing of it become one, not cause and effect

Hrt works for everyone, but if you don’t work on the self-loathing and bad mirror habits thing, then you’re gonna have a really tough time seeing it

Every trans woman who is prettier and/or more traditionally woman-shaped than me is an ungrateful genetic lottery winner who has no idea what it’s like to really be trans, and of course every trans woman less pretty or traditionally woman-shaped than me is simply a slob who’s not trying hard enough

idk what id do if someone compared my face to those on teh thumbnail

incredibly precise expression of what i feel often when im clocked by instagram ads or i see a mural of a figure laden w exaggerated masc sex characteristics intended to represent trans women.

no form of womanhood is visually uniform, but you'd never know this looking at art "supportive" of us.

We're REALLY close to $20k! We only only need a little over a hundred!! It would be absolutely amazing if we could get there, we'd be two thirds of the way to the goal!! ⭐

clocky =\= mannish

art on 4chan is kinder than "supportive" liberal art by literal miles.

Are you sure?

Anti-fascism is a left-wing position. The US Constitution creates a state that opens the door to any fascists to take power if they win an election. Anti-fascists do not tolerate such a possibility.

@annatleigh.bsky.social Thank you for letting us use your collage of trans women in transgender art. This piece wouldn't have been possible without it.

"validity is a plague"

i keep remembering the evil ass mural being touted as woke and progressive and "good visibility" and "we look like this too" and honestly im fucking done with this

it's not progressive to say "it's okay for women to look like men": men are always the default
