i started hormones in HRT and straight up went to a clinic open house thinking i was just gonna get some info and walked out with a script. i was so happy that i gave a dude asking for change like $20. informed consent fucks. if u are thinking about HRT u should try it u can always decide to stop
hrt isnt scary, rle is fuckin scary, thats what kept me in the closet until i was almost 30, they still make people do it some places, like how many trans women heard about informed consent for the first time in the late '10s and went "oh shit for real?" and got on estrogen within weeks or days

It exposes directional alignment; you still seek to limit, not expand, who is allowed to be human. Yes, you have set your limitation more inclusively than our fascist gang of white supremacists; it doesn't mean you're not also setting limitations & they'll use your limit as long as it serves them.
I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

stop separating ICE and the police. the conditions that allow cops to kill innocent black men and women with impunity are the exact same conditions that allow ICE to kill and torture innocent people with impunity

Being around a whole bunch of trans women rules and I wouldn’t have it any other way, but it does kinda get put into perspective how fucking weird we as trans people are the second I try to talk to a cis person. They do not know what mechsplo is. I’m pretty sure they think it’s a Michael Bay film

During every surge of street protest I wonder...will THIS be the time I manage to convince everyone the "milk helps with tear gas/pepper spray" myth is a secret advertising campaign by Big Dairy?
Probably not, but at least I'll shout "USE ONLY WATER TO WASH PEOPLE'S EYES!!!!!" seven hundred times.

nothing annoys me more than people who want to feel like they have special information going "do you know this CAN work..."
shut up, use water, use water, use water. got something else you want to urge people to use bc you saw a street medic use it once? shut up. use water.

Really want to emphasize this. Don't use shit like LAW or milk in your eyes. If you don't know what LAW is, great, don't bother. I've worked in chemistry labs and production floors most of my adult life, including with lachrymators and irritants. Use water. Just water. That's it.

What preparations are you glad your neighborhood did prior to occupation?

And I will remind everyone (because I have to remind myself a lot) that there are moments in life where caring for vulnerable others is the work, even if usually you'd be in the street.
Support where you can, protect those you can.

It's OK if you need to log off to read a book or take a walk or listen to music or watch something nice or eat some carbs or whatever you need. You can't help if you're totally burned out. Keeping yourself well cared for will help you care for others.
