A surprising number of people say a great outcome from social media was meeting their spouse through Twitter. Until today, I was clueless about Twitter being used as a dating platform.

One of the most perverse ideas on the anti-trans side is that trans people are instantly affirmed and celebrated by everyone when they come out and that acceptance is driving a social contagion.

It's the ultimate form of gaslighting against our community.

Pew Survey: Only 31% Of Trans People Report Being Accepted By Their Parents

The survey comes as transgender people experience a legal assault from the far-right in the United States.

Okay this is very cringe and the creepy whiny fash absolutely deserve to get mocked for it for eternity, but much like how Samus was jokingly suggested as trans and we made her ours in response...

We're taking Rosalina too now. Them's the rules.

Just as much as Link was a part of this community- so has Sakher been. Bluesky mods are awful.

It's Reem 🇵🇸🍉 @reeeeeeem.bsky.social · 8h

Sakher’s account was shut down — the only place where he spoke to the world about his pain and his suffering.

That account was his only voice, his way to survive and keep going.

Today, Sakher lost his last connection to the world.💔

For me I feel complicated about the jail part as a trans woman. Living in a state where I'd be sent to a men's jail, like, I'm *not* gonna do well in there. Honestly think I'd rather die than get sent there.

Maybe it can be a coward's compromise from creatives, but either way, if there's one thing trans people aren't, it's cowards. Anyway Hana my beloved

QT 🔞 @forbiddenqt.bsky.social · 11h

We're perceived as innately and immutably transgressing gender norms just by existing, which I disagree with and think is bullshit because trans womanhood is normal.

And also

Transgressing gender norms is good and sick as hell in general because most of them are bullshit.

I feel like if they animated a cis woman like this they'd get notes to pull it back because they're making her look too mannish, not feminine enough, that shit. But Hana's trans, she can jut her jaw out in indignation.

QT 🔞 @forbiddenqt.bsky.social · 11h

I fear this is me saying "Trans women are great rep because you can make us look freakish"

And like, anybody could do this expressivity with a cis woman, but they fuckin don't! Most of the time! Maybe if she's an older woman, but the only example that comes to mind is the older women from Miyazaki

QT 🔞 @forbiddenqt.bsky.social · 11h

I might be out of line but I feel like this is here and sick as hell because Hana is trans. Having a character design that isn't constrained by cis expectations of femininity means she gets to be HUGELY creative and expressive and maybe look even a little uncomfortable, but that's a broader palette!
