It's been a long time since I posted this vengeful queen. Back when my style was a little more abstract and weird.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Hozier's never been my favorite artist but I do think if I ever managed to see him perform too sweet in person I'd squeal like a poodle skirt-wearing teeny bopper seeing Elvis

In summary, the average child sexual predator’s profile is: married, male, white, heterosexual, religious, surrounded by friends and family, and a parent.
If you care about protecting children from abuse, it is necessary that you understand who the actual child sexual predators are.
Who Is The Average Child Sexual Predator?
Child molesters are as equally married, educated, employed, and religious as any other Americans.

Translations of common phrases I use:

"Ah, I see" = "I have a follow-up question, but I'm afraid asking it will make me sound stupid"

"You've given me much to think on" = "I don't understand"

Folks can't deal with how real mental illness factors into homelessness because the mentally ill aren't sympathetic "normal people" victimized by the system. 25% of the homeless in DC have a major mental disorder. I have one & living with one is knowing you are at the precipice of of homelessness.

If our kids are brown we starve and bomb them and if our kids are Black we criminalize them and if our kids are trans we torture them and we call ourselves "civilized."

When I was first transitioning, I tried out several names, but I don't remember any of them at this point.
Then one day my sister suggested "Cat" and from there I came to "Catharine". It fit.
Trans ppl, where did ur name come from? U don't gotta share ur deadname but mine is a journey that starts there:

Legal Michael, but Miguel sometimes to my latine family

Go to college, theres too many Michaels, i go by Miguel

Sometimes those friends call me Miggs

Bing bang boom: Miggs

The reality is that homophobes, transphobes, and queerphobes DO fear LGBTQIA+ people. They fear us because we challenge the very notions of gender and sexuality that they use to control others. Our existence is a threat to their power and authority and that terrifies them. #PrideMonth

The goal here is to keep people poor, passive, and overwhelmed, so they do not engage, and the power structure remains unchanged. It's worked so far. That's what the anti abortion garbage is too. Just a power play, nothing more.

92 years ago today the world’s only research institute about trans people was destroyed by the Nazis.

All transphobia is inherently fascist.
