thanks spotify for the christopher walken jumpscare
It's like a good hike. Getting to the end is just as nice as all the little things in between.
I finally finished 17776 Football and...... Damn. It WAS worth it. I don't really know what I'm feeling now . . . Hopeful, perhaps ?
time to make a mass edit post slowly but surely. first my favourite and most recent
EDIT DONT LISTEN TO THIS GUY HES DUMB. ONE VIDEO PER POST EVER I GUESS
"Death before Detransition" does not mean that I will kill myself if I can't access hormones or be referred to by my preferred language.
It means that there will always be another way. There will always be a stockpile, or distributors, or ways to synthesize the medicine we need. And even if that fails, there will always be community. There will always be identity. There will always be expression, and identity, or some piece of the trans experience, whether it be societal, physiological, or even completely internal, in perpetuity, that lives through every transgender person.
"Death before Detransition" means that the only way to erase my reality as a transgender woman is to put me in the ground.
We'll talk damage control and ways to help in the coming days and weeks. I welcome input on the topic as well- if there's a cause you want recognition for that will suffer under the new administration, let me know.
But for now, rest. Sleep. Take care of yourself.
I love you.
re: that last post, ive said it before and ill say it again: no one deserves to die (deserving is fake and death is bad) but some people need to be stopped and choose to make death the only way to stop them
one more year
big ol ham puck
don't. don't do this
The price of freedom
Maybe this will be comforting for people wondering about fighting back and project 2025. as a lawyer I’ll say that legal organizations have been going to court for trans rights for several years in both blue and red states. fighting for access to gender affirming care for minors and for the incarcerated, pushing insurance companies to cover certain surgeries, helping with name change petitions and gender markers, etc. we do this every single day, we’re used to dealing with people that are super obstructionist and I would say we’re pretty good at it
I genuinely, deeply thank you, and I want you to know that the efforts of people like you have not gone unseen.
My mentality right now is "it'll be okay, but it'll be grueling" and this is exactly why. Idk if I've posted it here specifically, but I do know that the fights work. They have to be fought, but they do work, and we do best them back.
Sometimes I wish we didn't have to.
Thank you for the reminder, and thank you for everything else <3
To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.
Tapping the sign.
