That's okay! I'm just genuinely interested so if you know of a resource you'd be able to recommend that would be cool. I like learning about new things. Thank you for your response.

It's concerning seeing how willing people are to enjoy fascism because it looks cool to them.

[-] WitchHazel@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago

"four years to organize" is really rich coming from the people completely comfortable with a police state

They literally want the competent fascist over an incompetent one that lacks a mandate from the voters. Demonic.

Absolutely

I'm trans and she said she would "follow the law" when the law in my state says I can be discriminated on the basis of my transness, full stop.

Harm reduction is a lie comfortable people tell themselves.

I tried to run a goblin sympathy campaign and they just did genocide so

Oh! Absolutely!

I living in Oklahoma right now, so harassment is a daily occurrence. If I'm going to be quite honest, I agree completely. I am deeply careful about how I talk about my problems because I know that I pass so effectively and have privileged family connections that allowed me to transition earlier. Generally these concerns are saved for specific individuals who are unaffected by them, so it's frustrating to see women post these things publicly in the same way I'd present them privately. An appropriate title might be "Feeling really dysphoric about my jawline today and need some reassurance" instead of "please tell me my chin isn't manly 🥺". Receiving the comments could similarly be better, with "thank you!" Instead of "idk tho.......... ". Though this is something I wouldn't bring to anyone but a close friend, because I know oftentimes those insecurities are just temporary and require immense grace/caution when approached.

Well

I don't mean this in any way to diminish or play down the experiences of others

Please don't read this if you don't wanna hear about the bad.

!But how easy was it to find a space that was safe? It has taken me roughly 2 years to find two people who are on board with everything, and my partners tend to get fired from their workplaces for my presence, and there are frequently straight transphobes at my workplace of effectively 99% gay customers.!<

Would I choose being trans in EVERY universe? Probably, but I wouldn't want to live in every universe. I love y'all, I love myself, and I love being trans, but it feels like at least in certain areas, the trans experience only becomes bearably traumatic when we erase from the public eye what makes us trans. I want to be proud to be myself, for people to know and it to warm their hearts. Idk I'm a silly billy and I'm sorry for saying stuff you've probably heard a billion WW say

Liberals are broken (lemmygrad.ml)

How can you recognize that

  1. Trans people revolutionize thought about gender and sexuality

And then not recognize that

  1. Trans women revolutionize politics

I love like

"Yeah trans people are fine but sometimes their politics are crraaaaazyyyyy"
