Between Secrets of Dorley and When You Fell From Heaven, I feel like @badambulist.bsky.social has captured a dynamic that kept me alive from age 3 to 22 as a trans egg... randomly getting adopted by cis women who befriend and treat you as one of the girls.
I'm glad this is a trope and not just me.

When asked in an interview whether it would be fair to say he would give a campaign serious thought after the November 2026 vote, the term-limited governor said, "I'd be lying otherwise."

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is this:
Even if I don't talk about it very much, discovering that I'm a lesbian is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I love it more than words can say.
Even if I feel self-conscious about claiming that space for myself.

TERFs: “Trans women are performing a stereotype of femininity, and aren’t actually women!”

I *know* it’s such a Basic Bitch answer, but mine is the Timberwolf/Mad Cat. My entry point was Mechwarrior 2 for PC, and that cover art just Did Something to 12 year-old Ellie.

If you’d told me five years ago that I’d be in my bathroom with a q-tip and a botttle of rubbing alcohol, trying to get nail polish out of my favorite skirt, I would not have believed you.

Sometimes the men in my life remind me that I really never was a boy, and it's both gratifying and a little frustrating.

Certain Leftists, to me, seem like Republicans in that they really WANT the fascist boot to come down, as long as it comes down on the Liberals first.
And I gotta say, fuck you if you're like this.

So is ‘the largest personal revelations since my egg cracked’ the usual outcome from reading Dorley for the first time or is that just me?

I don’t know what’s more surprising to me: My sudden motivation to break out of the transition-related stagnation I’ve definitely been experiencing for a while, or the fact that this motivation has come from reading a book that’s a (surprisingly non-smutty!) deconstruction of the force-femme genre?

Finally reading Dorley, and there are parts of this that absolutely feel like they’re talking to me specifically.
Christine’s discomfort at not being as good at being a girl as she feels like she should be at this point is *immensely* relatable.

I have lost count of the number of times people have accused me of supporting genocide because I advocated voting.
The people who like to accuse folks of supporting genocide are now screamingly furious that some people say this place has kind of a shitty attitude. Hit dogs hollering, I guess. 🤷♀️

The very trans & trans-adjacent experience of getting a notification from Venmo and thinking “Who is that?” before realizing it’s someone’s deadname. 😄
