I'm so tired of this idea that trans/non-binary people are killing their past-selves by transitioning. I'm especially fed up with the term "deadname". You're implying that by figuring out a significant part of my identity, and by transitioning from my agab to my current gender identity, I murdered my past-self? I didn't kill anyone. I did not kill a version of myself that I no longer resonate with. Nor did these past versions of myself never exist. The little girl who lived in blissful ignorance, the confused teenager who was just starting learning about life and themself, they're not dead. I didn't kill them. They're just in the past, alive and well, happily enjoying a gaming session on Animal Jam or some shit.

When you're "deadnaming" me, you're not using the name of a person who once was, a person whom I supposedly killed by transitioning. You're just using a name that never belong to me, that I never resonated with even when I was a small kid who had never heard of non-binarity nor transidentity and who thought they were forever stuck with a name they didn't like. When you use my deadname, you're not referring to me, but to the false, preestablished idea you have of me, because you think I'm a cis woman. I was never cisgender nor a girl, even though that's what I believed for the longest fucking time because I'd always been told I was one.

I was never my deadname, so the name I was given cannot possibly belong to someone who's dead. The person who used to identify with this name (even though they never liked it and used it purely for lack of a better option) was real, in the past. No one died in the process of me finding my chosen name, or just me realizing I was genderqueer when I was 15. So saying that name belongs to a dead person is stupid. I was never that name, I was never that person, I just went with the lie because I didn't know any better.

It's like. A mythname, I guess. Cuz the idea of the person people associate with it is just that, an idea, a concept, a myth. It's fictional, and it's also a lie in some ways.

You know, I just had a thought-

If I myself, as a person on the nonbinary spectrum leaning more towards transmasc, if I commit a serious (and possibly violent) crime, can I even be charged for it?

Because you know, legally, I don't exist anymore. So the only explanation left is that I must be an unidentified species or a force of nature, and those don't go to jail when they kill people. 👀

Just asking for a friend..

Reblogging this so I can send it to my mom every time she says some stupid shit about trans women in women's sports

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.

P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3

EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings

EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.

A shame indeed. 💅

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

Y'all probably already know, but there's a lot going on in the US right now, and I'm anxious as fuck. And when I get anxious, I have to draw cute things, so here you go.

let's recap what we've learned about the United States in the last few days.

things that are terrorism:

allegedly shooting a healthcare CEO whose company generated more pure profit (not revenue, profit) in a year than the GDP of 94 countries, exclusively by denying coverage to people who pay for it

a 42-year-old mother of 2 using the wrong combination of 7 words during a heated conversation with a call center employee at a health insurance company who was in the process of denying her health coverage.

things that are not terrorism:

mass shooting in a Black church to incite a race war

going to a BLM protest specifically to kill protestors

a neo-nazi running over a crowd of people, killing a woman

targeting and killing 23 latinos in an el paso, texas walmart

killing 12 people in a theatre, shooting 58 others, rigging your apartment with explosives

a QAnon groyper killing 7 and shooting ~50 at a 4th of July parade

killing 3 people and shooting several others at a Planned Parenthood in defense of the unborn

stalking someone relentlessly and then killing them and their child despite months of the victim making police reports

any one of the 1,200 murders committed by US police yearly, the vast majority being minorities

tightening your border while ~100 immigrants (including children) drown every year in the Rio Grande

United Healthcare killing an unnknowable number of elderly people by using faulty AI to deny medically necessary coverage

Aetna killing a woman by refusing to cover her cancer care

Blue Cross killing a 6-year-old by denying her appendicitis surgery

Cigna killing a 17-year-old child by denying her liver transplant

the pharmaceutical industry killing half a million people with opioids in the name of producing revenues in 2023 that rivaled the GDPs of countries like Spain, Mexico, and Australia.

the United States killing 45,000 people a year because they can't access health coverage

make sure you keep this guide handy the next time you find yourself interacting with your insurance company or any other millionaire, billionaire, or an individual who is part of a protected class such as a CEO or president of a corporation.
