what “life” did i have before this what good was i waking up in a running shower and throwing up outside of work every morning because i couldn’t bear aging into my dad

There is not privilege in living a life that is not yours. There's a difference between dealing with the bullshit of daily life, and living as someone who isn't *you*. Death isn't just biological, it's social, cultural, existential. Being unable to live as yourself is cruel

the idea that whiteness supersedes transness *on the subject of transness* is dismissive transphobia, full stop. these conversations demanding nuance are hard enough as-is on a microblogging platform when everyone talks past each other; even more so when cis people refuse to reflect.

this is a contradiction of basic intersectional theory; it erases the existence of non-white trans people who might have a thing or two to say about the unique intersection of race and gender. the "white trans women" slogan is little more than a repetitious transphobic shield against criticism.

proponents of this claim will never state this directly, but that is what they are saying. it is dismissing the concerns of trans people under the guise of social justice by positing that all trans people are straight white men who had the "privilege" to transition, ergo their concerns don't matter.

the key principle of folding all non-white trans women (and frequently trans mascs as well!) into "white trans women" is an extension of transmisogyny. it, along with the notion of "moving from the top of the privilege pile", is the transphobic idea that transness is just something het white men do.

This is not fuckin cool, man

Trans people who demand autonomy do not have a seat at the table of Big Media, so we become an amorphous cloud of social media chatter filtered through platforms that incentivize frivolity and hostility--which is then used to justify denying us that seat. It's a feedback loop of disenfranchisement.

i want us all to make it to a place where we can sing and dance and laugh and cry and kiss and embrace each other under a setting red sun. but in order to get there we do all have to live. and that includes you, specifically.

if you're transgender, your first duty is to live. if youve got anything to give after that, your second duty is to help someone else live, because it's not easy and no one but you and I and those like us will ever understand. your third duty, if you can make it that far, is to live happily.

i don't have many cis friends here on bluesky, but i know I've got some. they've probably already seen this because they're awesome like that but hey.. if you haven't, this is worth reading. please take a moment. 💖

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: *This thread is about the NYT AS A WHOLE* Feb 2, 2024: The NYT publishes a 4,500-word exercise in literary vomit by Pamela Paul titled “As Kids, They Thought They Were Trans. They No Longer Do.” By Feb 6, this embarrassment is cited in a conservative legal brief in Idaho.

cis people in america will never know the pain of like falling in love with someone and wanting to age together and have kids, and then like anytime you open the internet it’s like we might just have years, we might not have time for surgeries, we might not get started

y'all she said this to me last weekend and it turned out she was right, so trust me it will go easier for us if we just do it now

Have we tried turning this website off and back on?

like the dude can keep working there and do whatever good he thinks he’s doing and trans people can point out that his participation in an org that erodes our rights makes it hard to take his being an ally seriously both these things can be true no one can control how others perceive your actions

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.
