I hate to be all "cis good" on main, but if it weren't for the cis queer women that welcomed me into womanhood idk where I would be

the idea that jerking off every day makes you a depraved sex addict is so nuts the current obsession with declaring anything a sex/porn addiction is so fucking stupid why am i seeing other queer people and people on the left capitulating to this regressive shamey bullshit. experiencing pleasure is not sinful or overindulgent. we cannot be going around telling people they're not allowed to be horny and not allowed to have whatever amount of sex they want to have.

there are people with genders you will never comprehend and people fucking in ways you will never understand and people making art you just don't get and that shit RULES

every time a tgirl is convinced she has no worth beyond sex or kink an angel loses its wings

You should tell your transfem friends that you think you're unable to oppress them along gender lines and see how many friends you have left

What part of—

[ . . . ] the general consensus from all of us has been "We are all infinitely more similar in our experiences than we are different. Anyone trying to use our minimal differences to divide trans people along identity lines and say we are radically different from or have structural power over each other is a fucking cop".

—did you fundamentally misunderstand?

The lines that divide us as trans people are arbitrary and socially constructed.

Let's talk about being someone who isn't trans fem / a trans woman who has several close friends who are trans fem / trans women and spends a large amount of their free, social time with trans fems and women ! Because that's me!! And I'm frankly disgusted by folks who use their shitty friends as shields for their shitty opinions!!

One of my closest friends of the last 3-4 years is a nonbinary trans woman. In our friend group she is affectionately known as "the bitch who knows everyone" because she is a light in our local trans peer group. Many of the trans people I know offline just in general, I know because of her.

She and I have spent hours upon hours talking about our experiences being trans people who, despite having different assigned genders and a large number of different lived experiences, have had extremely similar experiences regarding our relationships to gender and the way we have been treated and abused by others due to our lived genders. The conclusion to the majority of our conversations has been, "Wow — the line between our experiences with transphobia and misogyny as trans people, one of whom moves through the world as a trans woman and the other who moves through the world as a trans man, is incredibly thin and almost nonexistent and it's wild that these similarities are so difficult for other people to grasp."

A close trans masc friend of mine is starting a local trans zine made by folks we know from the gay bar. A good number of our co-collaborators are older trans women — meaning they are older than us by about 10-20 years. Lately, since the zine is going to lean political, I've been having some wonderful conversations at the bar with these women about gender, transphobia, transmisogyny, transandrophobia, drag, feminism, etc. etc. etc. and the general consensus from all of us has been "We are all infinitely more similar in our experiences than we are different. Anyone trying to use our minimal differences to divide trans people along identity lines and say we are radically different from or have structural power over each other is a fucking cop".

Many people play the "well, my [ minority ] friends say [ X ] about [ Y ] and I'm just repeating what they say so I can't be wrong about this" card because it gives them a voice of authority to platform otherwise dog shit bigotry. This is a sad and fucked up way to navigate not only conversations on bigotry, but the world in general.

The lines that divide us as trans people are constructed by people who are afraid to see us empathize with and understand each other, because if we do that we might become too socially powerful. It's a divide and conquer strategy older than time.

We, as trans people, will always have more in common with each other than we will ever realize and trans women are not a monolithic meat shield for having shitty opinions about trans people who aren't trans women. Anyone who tries to convince you of anything otherwise is untrustworthy and dangerous.

The next time I have a customer say some absolutely blatant Qanon bullshit at me about the government, if there is a chance to do so, I might just be like "Oh? Where did you hear that? Online? Well, when I was growing up, I was told not to believe everything online. People can just go on there and lie as much as they want, y'know? I mean, heck, I even lie online all the time! I tell people I'm a red panda who was taught how to use a keyboard, and now I have a blog to share my thoughts! I dunno, I'd just be more careful about what you read online, and who might be on the other side of the screen saying those words."
