Coincidentally I've just seen a TikTok video of someone answering this exact thing and they put it better than I could

It feels like I'm taking back my own body. It feels like its finally mine. I was depressed for so long before coming out, I didn't HATE my body but it never felt like mine

Love when someone tells me trans doesn't exist because I won't explain in extreme detail every aspect of how I think and feel to them like I'm being interrogated

Dunno what to tell you bro, boob make me happy 😅

Its obviously way more than that but it is hard to explain to cis people

We should use this as a chance to make a new national flag, one that's not boring as shit. I'd say put a dragon on it, but the Welsh beat us to it...

Literally, all this accusation does is tell me how they would react if they had a trans kid, which is probably fine since they're most likely incels and will never have kids, still, its just pure projection

Ha! Joke's on them, Antifa doesn't even have a boat carrying drugs

Just an example, I was once made homeless 250 miles from home in 2012 at a moment's notice and my dad was straight in the car to come and get me and bring me home and he and my mom put me and my wife up for 5 months while we found a new home

I'll never forget that

Its so funny when transphobes try and insult me by saying my dad hates me and abandoned me or something and that's why I'm trans

Such a strange stereotype

My dad's always been around, he's always making sure his kids are looked ever (even if they're 34 😅) and fully supports my transition 😊

Hey Jack, who were the Antifa opposing in the Weimer Republic? 🤔

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 2h

Jack Posobiec speaks at the "Antifa Roundtable" and immediately references the Weimar Republic. He's a nazi.

Mine is Sam the Eagle, and no one tell me that's not him because it looks just like him

If youre waiting for the NHS, my advice is to look into either private providers or DIY

I DIY because I wouldnt be on hormones yet and wouldnt be until I was at least 40 (I'm 34 and already several years into my wait)

Its a bit like when Fox News pushed the "Birmingham is a no-go zone for whites" back in like 2014 or something

I've lived around Birmingham. I've lived in one of those so-called no go zones... best neighbours I've ever had. Genuinely

Its so funny whenever the right push the "Birmingham has no white people" narrative. I've lived here my whole life with no issues

Handsworth is apparently in the news for having "no white people" - its 40% white

I've driven through it, white people definitely live there and there are a lot

Interesting and not surprising

Fox News has faced ridicule online for repeatedly interviewing masked "guests" — supposedly a "former Antifa member," an "ex-gang member," and others — who all appear to have the same build, eyes, and voice, leading viewers to suspect it's the same man each time.
Internet sleuths recently compared screenshots and suggested the mystery guest resembles Robert J. O'Neill, the former Navy SEAL who claims to have fired the kill shot on Osama bin Laden.
O'Neill, who's been a frequent Fox News contributor and commentator for years, has a long history of appearances on the network.
The recurring use of masked figures resembling him has sparked fresh criticism of Fox's credibility and its penchant for sensational, poorly vetted segments.

The same fucking guy talking to the Jesse Waters

This is why I DIY

You think I want my care in the hands of a service this underfunded?

Made an effort and wore make up today to combat some pretty heavy dysphoria today

I hate how one day i can be completely ecstatic about how I look and the next feel completely down in the dumps

Not only are they being flown for a political reason the Irish largely wouldnt agree with (anti-refugee reasons), the implication that theyre part of the UK and their flag being flown UNDER the British flag... yeah, no symbolism there fellas 😫

Erika (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️ @erikasgarden.bsky.social · 1d

The fucking brain cases around mine just did a new one

British flags on every lamppost, underneath in an alternating pattern you've got the English flag, Scottish, Welsh... and IRELAND!!! Not Northern Ireland, Ireland 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm sure the Irish will appreciate that one you racist dumbasses

"I saw a poll that did say 96% of lesbians were supportive of trans but the poll also said the same percentage weren't"

I'm sorry, but how the fuck did this guy find a poll that said 96% of lesbians support trans people but also 96% of lesbians don't support trans people?

TERF logic for you 😂

By the way I'm not watching this guy's review. I'm watching someone else tear his review apart because Conservatives have bad media literacy

Erika (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️ @erikasgarden.bsky.social · 1d

Just seen the biggest self-report ever

Some Conservative YouTuber is reviewing Silent Hill F and he goes that the game has representation of domestic violence 'and sometimes its just funny' and the clip he shows is just a man screaming at his wife for being useless

... hilarious

Thank youuuu 😊💜

I just had a cry

Not a sad cry, a happy cry
Every now and then it just hits me how feminine I look. Like.. I'm a girl, I look like a girl and I think I forget that sometimes thinking about the destination

I've been happier in the last 13 months than I've ever been in my life and I'm loving life

They all knew what they were voting for. They just see the opinion polls moving away from Trump and they have no beliefs

JK Rowling is just pro-suffering

Again she's a privileged middle aged white woman with more money than she knows what to do with and thinks anyone not as rich, as white, as female and as old as her should suffer

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 2d

Shocked to learn that the world’s preeminent transphobe is also a genocide apologist.

JK Rowling:

"Pro-Palestinian demonstrators couldn’t give it a rest – not even for 24 hours. They were chanting all the old slogans and ducking all the hard questions. ‘Globalise the intifada,’ they cried – does that mean killing Jews in Manchester?" ✍️@NickCohen4
