It generally pisses me off that I can say a point, change the words slightly to be more pandering to tumblr audiences, and people will agree — but when my boyfriend says the exact same thing but in zeir own genuine words, still making the exact same point, and suddenly people are all up in arms and claiming things about zim.

Not a horny post but I love being trans. Like, for a long time I knew I was conventionally attractive as a ‘girl’ and I was scared that even though I did not connect with my body that I would not like the changes, that I would be ‘an ugly boy’ and I’m so glad I didn’t let that fear stop me. Every day I look into the mirror I feel more and more like myself, more handsome and masculine and it makes me smile at my reflection. I love that I was brave enough to let me be myself.

It’s so hard to transition alone!!!

trans people i cannot stress the importance of trans community. you dont even have to be exclusively t4t. just like, yall dont understand how important having a trans friend or a couple around that you can talk to and get advice from and just KNOW thay you wre understood is, bonus points if theyre at/around the same point in their transition as you are

Self destructive behavior pertaining to disability isn’t talking about enough

Forcing yourself to do activities that you know will hurt your body is bad!

Making yourself not use your mobility aid when you know you need it is bad!

Not taking your medicine because you want to get worse or just don’t care anymore is bad!!!!!

I think that mental illness can definitely manifest differently for disabled people. It’s not rlly talked about because this all stuff that ableds see as inspiring or us pushing through. It is just harmful behavior.

Since every single disabled person is or has been mentally ill this stuff is just seen as normal.

I loathe how much people struggling w hygiene is such a sticking point in these conversations, how it’s like one of the most known and common symptoms of basically every mental illness and yet it stalls literally every conversation asking people to not actively abuse us for being mentally ill.

I’m lucky, during those times I’ve always been able to shower and dress myself when I’ve needed to, I’ve never been forced to actually go anywhere like that…but people act like someone being so miserable and so detached from themselves that they can’t even bring themselves to perform basic self care is 1. A personal attack on them which they’re justified in retaliating for, 2. A personal choice they’re intentionally making and 3. Something which makes someone less of a human being and less deserving of compassion and respect.

Like yeah standing behind someone in line at Walmart who smells funky isn’t fun, but I promise you whatever they’re going through that’s caused it is a million times worse and harder than the 30 seconds of mild, escapable discomfort you felt. I promise you they know they’re not doing great, they’re absolutely sorry, they definitely feel bad about it, you don’t need to make it worse. They don’t wanna be that in that place any more than you do. It costs nothing to just have some compassion for them.

My cats have this meow that means "please come with me to fix this" after which they'll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or 'empty') food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the 'problem', they look back at me, clear message.

What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my 'power.' I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. "Please fix this" they say. "Please get rid of the wet"

"Silly kitty," I say, "I can't control the rain." I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain.

I hate the fear mongering about T puberty.

I love you trans boys who are hairy trans boys who are fat trans boys who have acne and bald spots and voices that crack. You’re worthy and perfect.

Whoopsies teehee

You trust me not to fall if you hold the rope,

But I peek over the edge and jump off anyways.

[6point5crows]

My toxic trait is I will slowly break myself down further and further just to see if people will reach out to me or if it was all for show.

My red flag is I’ve been broken long enough that I don’t know how to accept being without cracks and shatters.

Maybe this will all amount to nothing.

Maybe I’ll remain worthless, damaged, uncared for.

Maybe one day you won’t have to deal with it anymore.

[6point5crows]

I stare down at my hands in shame and despair as I reflect on what I am and how broken I am.

I wonder if God does the same.

If you seriously tell people they can’t headcanon a character as trans, queer, ace, or anything along those lines, I’m going to need you to shut the fuck up and learn to let people deal with their suffering and lack of representation.

“But the character lore-“

“But the author said-“

“But I headcanon-“

I don’t care.

These headcanons exist because if those characters can be those labels and still look like that, still find happiness, then maybes there hope for the rest of us.

If Wylan van Eck can look that much like a boy and be trans, then maybe there’s hope for those of us so desperate to be seen as a boy.

If Kanej can still flourish and exist while still being ace, then maybe there’s hope for those of us who desire the same respect and type of love.

If Kuwesper can exist and be seen and work out their relationship dynamic, then maybe there’s hope for those of us who are poly and wish to just be seen as valid for a single fucking day.

Let people have their headcanons even if they differ from canon (that’s what a fucking headcanons is, dumbasses) or from your own perspective on the characters, because you may have no clue how much that headcanon may mean for somebody.

I stare in the mirror,

Picking out each feature of my body which is seen as a girl,

Which makes those who have only known me as a boy call me she/her,

And I note them,

Examine them,

Then rip them apart,

Piece by piece.

I’ll burn my body until what I swear is inside is out,

I’ll bleed until my skin has no choice but to become what it’s meant to be,

I’ll scream till my vocal cords snap just to have an excuse to make them deeper.

Bind until it hurts.

Pull at my waist.

Stop talking.

I just want to be a boy.

I’d break myself apart just to see if you’d be willing to pick me back up again

“The spirit of Christmas is light and playful, happy and giving, warm fires and surrounded by family!”

Oh no it’s not.

The spirit of Christmas is a child— animal or human— huddling for the little warmth they currently have as the winter snatches it all away. Of trekking through the snow with a single candle in hopes of reaching a place they’re not even sure exists yet. It’s of knowing that everyone else is warm and happy and excited while you are left alone and trembling with fear that you won’t see the sun rise again.
