Girlfriend came out to a (conservative) coworker and showed a photo of me to her. Her comment was, “She looks like a woman.” I know the implication of that statement, but honestly I blushed and take it as a bit of a complement. 😊

Ok, maybe it’s just me but Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh in Street Car Named Desire are sooooooo yummy. I said what I said.

I…, I don’t understand. I have an IKEA date with my girlfriend coming up and I most certainly will buy a blåhaj. 😂
Once again we had a Lesbian IKEA date and successfully DID NOT buy a Blåhaj.

I feel “emergent” is the closest description. My past shaped some good pieces of my personality; but, I came from within him, and have slowly taken over awareness and control. I am a different person; but share parts of his past - and oddly, I’m not sure he ever fully imagined or met me.
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?

Never. Ever. Talk to the NYT. Ever.
heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

It me!

I’m a girl and a Dad! Maybe I should get this shirt.?… 😂🏳️‍⚧️
you should only be able to wear a shirt that says "girl dad" if you are both a girl *and* a dad.
Finally, a clothing brand for fathers who can't cheer on their kid's soccer team without being a transphobic weirdo about it.

May it be a prelude to the extinction of centrist, liberal, big donor Democrats.
the anti-Mamdani crashout among status quo Dems (amidst a federal fascist usurpation no less) might well be the final harbinger of "whig irrelevance collapse" i've been expecting all these years

A good take on American straight/cis liberals. The bulk of info presented in news/media for them is never from a trans person directly, but through the lens of another cis person. Combined with all the misinfo, they haven’t a clue. They all need to know and talk with one of us to clear that hurdle.
for reasons not worth getting into I've been talking to straight liberals about medical transitioning and these are not transphobes, they fully support people's rights to do what they want

but its shocking that everyone of them did not understand transitioning as a NEED rather than a choice.

This is the coolest solution I've ever seen for a pronoun pin for people with split pronouns.
I'm proud to announce my latest pin design!

These are for everyone with split pronouns who gets tired of people only referring to them one way. My lenticular pin shows different pronouns at different angles!

Please share with anyone who might like one 💖 canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4396... #SciArt

He cannot fuck off far enough.
Finally watched the Gavin Newsom interview & fuck. The moment he’s asked why he agreed w/Charlie Kirk about banning trans ppl in sports, he immediately says “Because I believe that” & doubles down then has the audacity to say no one has defended trans people more. Fuck off. youtu.be/4Dm3diA6z08?...

Short road to making being trans (or supporting us in any way) illegal and eliminating us from existence. I have two trans kids reliant on hormones and we’re currently on Medicaid as well. This administration and every transphobe out there can fuck right off.
1. This morning, a flurry of movement in federal rulemaking signals Trump's intent to ban transgender youth care nationwide.

If these rules go into effect, the administration may be successful in doing so.
