Hey can we like, stop judging trans people?
I'm not just saying this for terfs or other ignorant cis people, but for those of us in the community as well. When someone comes out as trans, we shouldn't expect them to conform to an image of transness that we have in our heads. Everyone's gender journey is personal, and really, it's none of anyone else's business.
Honestly, I used to hate on other trans people too. It wasn't healthy, and the environment I was in at the time was very damaging for me and my image of myself. I thought microlabels and neo pronouns were fake, that the people who used them were trying to get attention, and making the rest of us look bad. I know now how awful that mindset is, and I thank the powers that be that I grew out of it.
Truly, none of us are to blame, I realized that. We didn't ask to be under a spotlight representing the trans community. Unfortunately, that's how the world around us sees it. The second we are out, we are judged by how well we conform or nonconform. Even before that, we are judged, called names, made fun of for being different.
Let trans mascs be as masc or fem as they want to. Let trans fems be as fem or masc as they want to. Let nonbinaries, bigenders, intersex, or otherwise genderqueers be whoever they want to be. There's enough hate and judgement in this dumb son of a bitch world, just let us be happy. And for the love of everything, don't judge others because they don't conform to YOUR expectations.
Thank you, all who took the time to read. Unless you're a terf, then fuck you and get your priorities straight. Love to all my trans siblings 💜 you are not alone, I promise.

I drew Bridget at the beach on a hot summer day. I drew her a bit chubby and that’s okay because all bodies are beach bodies and there is no right or wrong way to have a beach body.

Nex Benedict was an Indigenous, Two Spirit, Trans teenager who was murdered by three other students who attacked them in a school bathroom.
This is what we fight for, this is what we march for, this is what we have Pride for.
Because of the Anti-Trans hate and violence that is continuously being spewed.
Nex was a TEENAGER! WHO WAS BEATEN TO DEATH!
You say protect the children well NEX WAS A CHILD! WHERE WAS THEIR PROTECTION?
Nex I am so sorry, I'm so sorry this was done to you, you deserved to live a life full of love and joy. 💛💜🖤
Say his name, and never forget them.
Nex Benedict.

I love how @photomatt and the Tumblr staff are focused on banning trans women for showing off non-sexual transition pics while there are literal hundreds of photos of naked women mistagged with fandoms in my "your tags" tab with links that I can only assume lead to virus-ridden websites.
Yes, I know I'm on strike for one thing rn, but tumblr staff needs to get their crap together. They have banned a bunch of trans women on invalid claims while trans people get harassed and stalked and their reports go unnoticed or ignored.
Fix your freaking site matt. 🔨 🚗

"What if I'm not trans, what if I'm choosing to be trans for [list of reasons]"
I am grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking you like a can of soda. If, for whatever reason, you looked within yourself and decided to be trans - you're still trans. We (as trans people) don't need to have an "I always knew" story. We don't need to have the ~magical transsexual gene~. It's incredibly hard for so many of us to figure out why we're trans, and if being trans was always a choice, the reasons for choosing to be trans would be complex. If being trans is always a choice, that doesn't negate that we deserve human dignity and respect for who we are.
It shouldn't matter if you chose your trans identity or not, becayse you still are a person. You breath the same air I do, and you deserve to live how you want, on your terms. You watch the same sunrises and sunsets I do, you are here. I, for one, welcome you no matter what your inner reflections are about your transness. You have a place in this world, you have inherent worth.

TODAY IOWA HOUSE IS HEARING BILL HF2082 WHICH IF IN PLACE WOULD REMOVE CIVIL RIGHTS PROTECTIONS FOR TRANSGENDER IOWANS IN AREAS INCLUDING HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND OTHER DISCRIMINATION PROTECTIONS. THIS IS HUGE AND DEVASTATING FOR ALL LGBT POPULATION IN IOWA. 🏳️⚧️⚧️

You're a woman and no one is going to call you a him, stop making trans people look stupid
“No one is going to call you a him”
Me thinking about all the people in my life who have referred to me using he/him pronouns and as “Dad” or “Uncle” 🤔
I’m not sure you know what the definition of “no one” is, hon, but that’s okay. I hope you heal from whatever is hurting you and Happy Pride! 🌈 💖

I drew Bridget enjoying an impossible burger, chicken nuggies, and she is also enjoying fries that are salted with TERF tears
This is a redraw of the “estrogen burger” meme, which itself is also a parody of that one pic that some conspiracy nut made

Don't you love how some right and far right politicians of all countries are on a constant mission to use their power to actively destroy other people's lives and as soon as they get the littlest punch back they start rolling on the ground screaming and kicking their feet, calling others "evil" and "violent"?
We've all learn about Popper's tolerance paradox by now, my conservative sweeties: if you go to harm minorities and marginalized groups expect to meet resistence.
