You’re left wondering:

do you want him or want to be him?

and there’s a day you realize

it’s both

How freeing it feels

How torturous it feels

How Holy

How deeply religious it is

to love another man while becoming one.

i want to thank the 1920s-1930s third wheel who saw their two friends lying in bed together in their underwear and stocking garters reading a book with their legs wrapped around each other and said “i am going to take a photograph of this”

[Image ID: a black and white typography edit. in all caps, there is text that reads "to view transsexuality as a societal failing is to be far removed from a healthy society." the text is slightly warped to resemble ink bleed. to the right of the text is a geranium stalk with a sprout of blossoms. the entire picture is textured to look aged and photocopied. /End ID]

For some reason the article isn't linking normally but this is amazing! I do not like that the author does not mention Hirschfeld being Jewish early enough in the article, but it's awesome this has been restored!

Happy birthday Lili Elbe!

Born on December 28, 1882, Lili was a successful artist, specialising in landscape paintings. In the 1930s, she became one of the first trans women to undergo a vaginoplasty, and also legally transitioned in the eyes of the Danish government, changing her name and sex on her birth certificate.

I love that queer can mean 'I don't know what I am'. I love that queer can mean 'it's none of your business what I am'. And i love that queer can mean 'I know exactly what I am, but it's a long list that I don't feel like reciting every time'.
