What Sucks About Being Fat And Having The Inevitable Internalized Fatphobia Is That You End Up Feeling

hey reminder that connecting humanity is extremely low on esims rn and desperately needs esim donations and also that there are a lot of cool things you can get in exchange for a donation

i am once again speaking on behalf of my friend @shimaa20sblog to help her promote her familys campaign. i have spoken to her on numerous occasions on whatsapp, and her her campaign is VERIFIED!

due to some difficulties Shima cant access the money from the gfm right now, so instead shes been fundraising via p*yp*l with help from the wonderful @halalgirlmeg !

one consequence of transmisogyny (but not unique to it) is that it makes you into a paranoiac. take the example of the "degendering they" or like the "backhanded compliment," relatively minor interpersonal interactions that trans women increasingly feel hypervigilant about. it's probably counterproductive to assume everyone who gives you a compliment or refers to you as "they" or "this person" (<- phrase that actually revolts me a little now in this context) is doing so condescendingly, in a malicious or even just incidentally diminishing way. but also, everything about your life as a trans woman encourages you to be on alert for these kinds of cues, because if you're not paying attention to them then when the hammer drops it will hit that much harder.

Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:

Not all Men are evil

Everyone has the capacity for evil

Transgender Men are men

Transgender Women are women

Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)

Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement

Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators

Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"

HEY

WAIT

STOP SCROLLING !!!!

honestly if you’re reading a post about trans women where op clearly is including herself in “trans women” and you they/them op anyway without even trying to look for pronouns you’re lower than a dog. you’re lower than the worms that course the soil and they wait for you to join them six feet under, where your life will, finally, have contributed something to the greater whole

has anyone figured out how to be a real person yet

the mutuals would love that
