if you're following from my post about being transfem please understand that kind, soft, gentle people who are willing to have you partake of the warmth in their hearts do exist. they really, really do. you have to be willing to search and roam, though.

I understand being those kinds of girls I talked about. i have been like that before. that post was about me too. The scary thing is that you have to let your self be open to the possibility of hurting AND after you hurt you're going to try again.

it's a tough road but the people worth a damn will wait for you to figure it out, will stay by you when you stumble, and will shake you around when you're starting to be one of those kinds of girls. you have to keep fighting against it.

if you have the will to live, anywhere can be paradise. you do have to live though.

reminder that transandrodorks and TMRAs will never be welcome on my page. i get i already repost other's statements on this kinda thing a lot already but i wanted to make it clear on my own terms. certain sects of this website really, really need to learn to treat transfems better.

transfemmes, you're all beautiful. the world needs more of you, more of us. i can't offer much on my own outside of silly art and reblogs, but we're all in this. you being here means everything to me. as a trans gal myself, so many of ya'll have inspired me and inspired me to love myself better. you make the world better by being here, and i cannot put it into words just how much you all mean to me.

(p.s. i have a hard time putting these matters succinctly without fumbling so if you want to learn more about what i was discussing, check out some of my reblogs. or you can just look for yourself, no biggie.)

think before you post 😔

the endless "there is no community online, go outside!!!!" messaging from queer people in major metropolitan areas is beyond fucking grating. there is no community outside, I looked, just people glaring at me for being trans in a grocery store.

I feel like "trump wants to throw away literal dinosaur fossils" would really turn heads if we actually had a functional opposition party in this country to get messages out, but I guess I'll just have to get a paint pen and write it on my car. fine, I'll do it.

I still can't believe we let the broader LGBT sphere get away with "hating men means hating trans women" for so long

my hottest take

[elvenforests]

You’re out at dyke night at a local queer bar with a bunch of other trans women you’re friends with, and you run into a person you know from the gym. They’re more than an acquaintance but not quite a friend, and plenty of the girls in your group know them too, so they sit down and chat. They’re nonbinary and TME, and they’ve been generally chill about hanging with the trans women in your group.

The conversation meanders and eventually lands on trans topics, and almost unprompted they pipe up and say how it’s unfortunate that some trans women retain their male-privileged mindset after transition and remain selfish and domineering and misogynistic. You’re stunned, and you take a second to process that they really felt OK saying that at a table full of trans women. You reply that you know tons of trans women and none of them are like that. By this time another one of the girls is tuning into the conversation and asks what we’re talking about. Gym enby repeats their claim about “some” trans women, seemingly unaware that they are saying something bigoted. The other girl is similarly taken aback at hearing one of the worst stereotypes about us dropped into conversation so casually. She also says that she knows plenty of trans women and none of them are like that.

When pressed, the person admits that they believe this because a trans woman they knew once treated them terribly. One personal experience is apparently justification enough for them to form broad generalizations of an entire group of people they share a community with.

You want to have fun at dyke night, so you decide not to derail the evening into a discussion of just how fucking transmisogynistic that was, and instead you pretend to hear something interesting from a conversation happening at the other end of the table and jump into that. The enby hangs around for a bit but you don’t talk to them again for the rest of the night. You’re not looking forward to seeing them in the gym next week.

choking a girl's dick is known to improve mental health btw

I think a lot of people who stubbornly refuse to attempt to overcome social anxiety and insecurity because they think minimizing themselves and deferring to others is the "safest option" and will make up for their awkwardness or other social blunders could really benefit from the knowledge that doing so 1. Attracts people who want you to do that for their own benefit 2. Deters people who do not want you to do that because you can basically never act scared of someone who has done nothing to you in a way that does not make them feel like they are being treated as an aggressor for no reason.
