I tried reading male feminists to get a handle on my new role. It didn’t work. All of them wrote as cis men, for cis men, with a kind of camp-counselor condescension: Hey, buddies, it hurts to hear this, but given that we’re unambiguously privileged by patriarchy and always have been, we owe it to our wives and mothers to give the ladies a hand. The idea that I had always occupied a privileged position within patriarchy was, frankly, untrue; nor did it seem to me that a trans person was any less gender-marginalized than your average cis woman. What privilege I had was conditional, and these books were no guide. Men who wanted to “forge a positive masculinity” (and everyone was very clear that I needed one of those) were encouraged to get in touch with their “feminine sides.” Maybe that was healthy for cis guys, but I had been forced to do feminine things, and present in feminine ways, for the entirety of my young life. Whatever liberation I had achieved came from giving myself permission to stop.

Why does “falling in love” have pretty much exclusively romantic connotations it’s such a good phrase. I’ve fallen in love with every single one of my friends

Just offhand in case i haven’t been clear about it, i’m very happy that i live in a world where we can find joy in a place of hurt people hurting people. Despite all the evil that defines our society we can make good things for ourselves. I am not super optimistic or hopeful about the future and humanity, i believe there are always going to be people who suffer in obscurity, are ostracized and excluded for irrational reasons, get caught in the crossfires of others’ vice and avarice. But, i am glad i have the freedom to respond to that in ways that lessen the burden i share with others. The people i love are enough, the fact that im here with others is enough. I sympathize with nihilism and despair, but those aren’t the only things that shape us.

I don't think "having sex" is important. What's important is arachnid locomotion is controlled by a system of hydraulic compression

we need to start persecuting the people who write "tomboy secretly wants to wear a dress" episodes of TV shows

My goal and dream and deepest desire is for every black child and every black adult to know the safety and security and hope and love we all should have been offered from birth. And even if it came late to you, I hope you know that you are still worthy of it.
