Tumblr, Please Make Sure To Show Your NPD Mutuals And Friends Love In These Trying Times (living In A

someone should make one of those PSA style posts about "not adopting trendy pets that you can't commit to taking care of and eventually throwing them away" but about entering relationships with love-starved trans girls

There's obviously bigger issues with the way trans women are depicted in media, but a pet peeve of mine is how many of them barely change their name. Like, okay, sure, maybe a newly out girl who is trying to be as inconspicuous as possible would go from, like, Jeff -> Jess or Victor -> Victoria.

But a girl who radically changed her whole look and personality in defiance of the world around her wouldn't change two letters in her name, the writers for the show are just lazy.

Have the name change make sense for the character, c'mon.

So we all mocked the Minecraft movie and agreed to not give it money...only for y'all to immediately go see it?

michael jackson dying how he did when i was 8 years old really did a number on my psyche because now I'll be taking 2 medications for my mental health paired with tylenol and cough medicine because i'm sick and I'm like i am going to get. michael jacksoned and die

it's like, in theory okay to point out that anti-trans legislation will inevitably misfire and start policing cis women as a way to point out that transphobia realistically is just a system that polices gender and scrutinizes and gatekeeps womanhood, but like. if all you ever hear is "what about the cis women this will effect" then that doesn't exactly inspire confidence that the primary targets of these laws (transfems) actually have like, allies.

if we can't be silly and funny together then what even is the gosh darn point of it all

Trump 2016 was nothing compared to what's coming and you know it.

No I don't, and you don't either.

One of the problems that I have with electoralism is that every election is the most important election of our lives. Every election is the last one to save democracy. Every election is the only way that we can protect the marginalized otherwise so you have to vote blue no matter who or you're going to be killed in the streets by the red team.

This is propaganda to get people to vote, but what it also does is reinforce the idea that the only people who can save you are the ones on the ballot.

There are people all over the world living under fascist regimes, living in war zones, living in dictatorships, who are supporting one another. There are trans communities under Modi and queers in Russia and people who provide underground reproductive healthcare in Iran and people who provide medical care to their neighbors in tents in Gaza.

What you are doing is American exceptionalism in a liberal hat. This is NOT the end of the fucking world. This is NOT the worst disaster you will ever face. This is NOT a reason to give up or to stop caring or to stop working or to lay down and die.

Is this a good thing that has happened? No. But bad things happen all the time and we keep going.

If you must wallow, then wallow, but I've got shit to do just like I did last week.

Found a bunch of booklets from a transfeminist conference I helped organize in 2015 and I love how this panel is still just as relevant a decade later lmao
