constantly saying this tbh

not having a robust public transit system is lesbophobic. gay girls need medium-long train rides so they can fall asleep on each other while coming back from fun day & weekend trips that take an unexpectedly sweet and flirty turn

And if you are trans and you don’t have love in your life and today is hard, know this: I love you. Others do too. You’re not alone.

Happy Coming Out Day! Sending love to those for whom today is hard.

I’ve just started coming out to folks and it feels special but thanks to (gestures broadly) the world, I’m still publicly closeted.

I’m very fortunate to be buoyed by a lot of love in my life. Every trans person deserves it.

Mamdani went to a trans youth rally in February when he was polling in single digits and with every legacy media outlet in the States posting a weekly column about how our existence is electoral poison. He’s a real one and I don’t say that about politicians often.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

idk why the youtube algo fed me this but i can't describe how scary & weird it is being a woman knowing these freaks are doing presentations on how to understand & conquer us like. we are just people. have you tried being fucking normal. i will never get used to society being like this

a man stood in front of a whiteboard that is just covered in loads of text because he's solved the 'woman' conspiracy he looks like a meme

That’s amazing! I really love to know there are places where we can thrive as lived-in community.

Great fit and you wear it well.

For real as someone who has never spent time in the PNW, it feels like half the trans women/femmes I follow on this site are from there. I know there’s been some recent hate crime stuff in Seattle but what’s the overall deal? Is it just a really nice community?

“What?”

“A podcast!”

“Brilliant!”

This is one of the funniest paragraphs a tran has ever written, and it's 130 years old

I know it's some backwards ass Edwardian convention, but the fact that she used Latin terms any time she wants to talk about how horny she is (which is often) is absolutely sending me.

The modernist version of talking about @ss and corn and s3x 🥲

Sensual thoughts now began to creep into my mind more and more. Interest in my studies was declining. In the class-room I was absent-minded, and when called upon, would be confused, and hardly able to reply to the pro- fessor's questions. Even here I would be thinking of the soft satin-smooth cutis in inguine of my late guest which I had found gratissima tactioni, praesertim labiali et lin- guali, and would regret that it was always to be denied to me to touch again on viro this marvellously fine integu- ment. I pined for the repetition of other similar pleas- ures which I had for the first time tasted in their fulness only a few weeks before, such as pillowing caput super abdomene aut femure nudo adolescentis, the fascinating sight membri virilis ejus erecti, and the extremely smooth surface glandis, gratissima tactioni et digitorum et oris.

Not a question but very nice to see a fellow Jackie Brown lover. Elmore Leonard books shouldn’t be that hard to adapt. I’d put IB first but Jackie is in my top 2 or 3.

I remember all the jokes I made the night they won the World Series about the coming apocalypse and all and whoo, ma'am, that was dumb shit on my part.

Loving/screaming/crying at Victoria Zeller's One Of the Boys. "Estradiol is a great skin care routine" merits the loudest of amens.

Either is fine!

And yeah I hear you on that.

You look greaaaaat! And yeah, I need to practice more. I keep putting it off but makeup is the only thing that helps me with the dysphoria looking at my face causes.

It's a both/and with kids, depending on age. If you're raising them with a supportive partner, getting away from your kids to get into the office can help. But if they're anywhere from 0-5, yeah, you're gonna wanna be home as much as possible
