i want to live in a world where the biggest concern my wife and i have as is if we took the chicken out to thaw for dinner that night

i want the biggest concern of a trans kid to be if they forgot their homework in their locker

i want trans elders to be the norm not outliers

we're gonna get there

transitioning is the best choice i’ve ever made in my life and the only regret i have with it is that i didn’t do it when i was younger

Heck. It's live. 👀

I am now finally making EstroBox available for purchase - a friendly, helpful case for storing and tracking estrogen gel sachets.

I've been using one myself since starting on Sandrena, and I honestly cant imagine going without it.

Embodying the same principles, the Sagarmatha [G] Type predates the current Everest pattern by more than a century. It still sees active use in some Union squads. Deployed in record numbers during the Committee Civil War, the Sagarmatha [G] Type is time-honored and battle-tested.

When writing this piece, I kept thinking back to this Instagram post I saw from a trans woman the other day. This is what I'm talking about. Watch this:

Life is about food and love and stories and play.

One thing in this hellscape that will always bring me joy is seeing transfems discover and step into their power and wisdom, in ways large and small.

It is deeply wondrous, in ways we will never truly have the words for.

We live on for those who couldn't

We carry their true names in our hearts, so that they might be remembered

And we hope those still keeping names private, and those young yet to come, will know a better world than that known by the lost, and us

Look if you're trans, you have to live. Do whatever you need to do to make it.

transness is a gift. i need every trans woman to understand that by nature of their existence they have been blessed with the ability to pluck the strands of fate with their hands if they choose to. it is not always easy and it is not without hardship but every trans woman is capable of greatness.

I'm the only 'me' that ever was

I see my pre-transition self as something not unlike myself as a child - a phase in life I've outgrown, a series of habits I've unlearned, a few mistakes I've learned from

I'm still me. I was always me. I'm just wiser now, and happier

How do you explain what happened to your past self once you transitioned?

Are they dead? Alive within you? Never alive in the first place? Or something else entirely?

I an not going go lie about my beliefs. These included:
✅ Conflating nonbinary with "does not have medical needs" is enbyphobic.
✅ No doctor or therapist should be within 500 feet of your transition without consent.
✅ Anyone and everyone should have full bodily autonomy.
✅ Transmisogyny is bad.

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔
One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet. I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

every trans person I've spoken to is feeling the Drag Down right now. not everybody has fallen into despair but we're all feeling it creeping in around the edges, doing our best to fight it. things are bad. if you know a trans person, look after them.

this blew up. take care of each other and don’t give up no matter how bad it gets. We *are* better than them and through the pain we *will* win. You have to believe you can make it through, and there’s no way through but together.

dont let anyone tell you that you aren't allowed to experience life and find some joy in turbulent times

don't spend so much time worrying about tomorrow that you miss out on today

even if the weather sucks outside, there's still joy in dancing in the rain or cuddling up on the couch

This one's maybe a little on the ling side, but trust me, it's worth it. I've cried reading it multiple times.

(1/3)
mylordshesacactus Carpathia received Titanic's distress signal at 12:20am, April 15th, 1912. She was 58 miles away, a distance that absolutely could not be covered in less than four hours. (Californian's exact position at the time is... controversial. She was close enough to have helped. By all accounts she was close enough to see Titanic's distress rockets. It's uncertain to this day why her crew did not respond, or how many might not have been lost if she had been there. This is not the place for what-ifs. This is about what was done.) Carpathia's Captain Rostron had, yes, rolled out of bed instantly when woken by his radio operator, ordered his ship to Titanic's aid and confirmed the signal before he was fully dressed. The man had never in his life responded to an emergency call. His goal tonight was to make sure nobody who heard that fact would ever believe it. All of Carpathia's lifeboats were swung out ready for deployment. Oil was set up to be poured off the side of the ship in case the sea turned choppy; oil would coat and calm the water near Carpathia if that happened, making it safer for lifeboats to draw up alongside her. He ordered lights to be rigged along the side of the ship so survivors could see it better, and had nets and ladders rigged along her sides ready to be dropped when they arrived, in order to let as many survivors as possible climb aboard at once. I don't know if his making provisions for there still being survivors in the water was optimism or not. I think he knew they were never going to get there in time for that. I think he did it anyway because, god, you have to hope. Carpathia had three dining rooms, which were immediately converted into triage and first aid stations. Each had a doctor assigned to it. Hot soup, coffee, and tea were prepared in bulk in each dining room, and blankets and warm clothes were collected to be ready to hand out. By this time, many of the passengers were awake-prepping a ship for disaster relief isn't quiet-and all of them stepped up to help, many donating their own clothes and blankets. And then he did something I tend to refer to as diverting all power from life support. Here's the thing about steamships: They run on steam. Shocking, I know; but that steam powers everything on the ship, and right now, Carpathia needed power. So Rostron turned off hot water and central heating, which bled valuable steam power, to everywhere but the dining rooms-which, of course, were being used to make hot drinks and receive survivors. He woke up all the engineers, all the stokers and firemen, diverted all that steam back into the engines, and asked his ship to go as fast as she possibly could. And when she'd done that, he asked her to go faster. I need you to understand that you simply can't push a ship very far past its top speed. Pushing that much sheer tonnage through the water becomes harder with each extra knot past the speed it was designed for. Pushing a ship past its rated speed is not only reckless-it's difficult to maneuver-but it puts an incredible amount of strain on the engines. Ships are not designed to exceed their top speed by even one knot. They can't do it. It can't be done. Carpathia's absolute do-or-die, the-engines-can't-take-this-forever top speed was fourteen knots. Dodging icebergs, in the dark and the cold, surrounded by mist, she sustained a speed of almost seventeen and a half. No one would have asked this of them. It wasn't expected. They were almost sixty miles away, with icebergs in their path. They had a responsibility to respond; they did not have a responsibility to do the impossible and do it well. No one would have faulted them for taking more time to confirm the severity of the issue. No one would have blamed them for a slow and cautious approach. No one but themselves.

I belong where I'm wanted.

Not where I'm familiar, not where I'm expected to be, not where I've been before. I go where I'm shown my presence is not just desired but treasured.

idk, i just...

if someone isn't treating me well--not *mistreating* me, but also not reciprocating my energy--why would i maintain the connection??

i understand it may be a reflection of how they view themselves, but i'm not sure it means i should sit in limbo, either

Transition is not about getting someone else’s approval, it's about being dipped by Thetis into the river of all your shame, awkwardness, and hurt and emerge entirely new, invincible and also vulnerable, madly in love with yourself and with the fight for a kinder world.
