You can get sober. You can transition. You can quit the job you hate. You can break up with your abusive partner. You can cut ties with your shitty blood family. You can find real family. You can find community. You can find love. You can love yourself. You can be you.

Don’t ever tell yourself you can’t do hard things

I just met a cis woman wearing the amazon basic skirt. What's going on here?

Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?

When I was working somewhere pharmacy-related ca. 2022, I used to get a bunch of spam emails from chinese peptide-producers and wondered what the fuck I would ever need these peptides for. Turns out, I should've started selling them to techbros, dammit, I could've made so much money.

[trying to get a tech bro to let me inject him with estrogen to see if it will fix her] pspspspsp here little techie, i have peptides in this syringe~ you want peptides right??? they're unregulated~ and chinese~

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

Recently noticed, the longer I've been living as a woman, the more feminine I become. That was bewildering at first, and I do struggle with the internalised mainstream devaluation of femininity and the "feminist" disappointment in myself for being this gender-confoming. (1/3)

Downplay a book or movie: - Nathan the somehwat intelligent - The mild inconveniences of young Werther This is basically the opposite of the GDR printing "excitingly narrated" on the covers of its most boring sci-fi books.

Downplay a book or movie: Phoebe and Her Equine

I'm just a girl. I am not a symbol. I am not an inspiration I am not here to serve any cause but cunt.

Chiitan has a dream. I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past. I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination. Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I have to say though, the place I live in is overall kinda funny, because walking usually is the fastest option, faster than cycling even, and the single traffic light I need to pass on a regular basis is queer themed. Turns out absolutist monarchs were woke city planners after all.

The trans experience is when you're living in a place with a bunch of boarded up houses next to the collapsing nuclear waste depot and rent is still too expensive. Plus side: I'm eligible to get a guided tour through said collapsing nuclear waste depot. Can't say my life is boring.

God I love transfem music.

I find it so weird how masculine podcasters have this radio studio setup going on. They're sitting so far apart and hide from each other behind those big microphones. Why not just sit on a sofa with tea, cookies and clip-on-mics? Because they're afraid of femininity of course. Sucks to be them.

Honestly, I wouldn't change a thing. It was a terrible gonzo adventure. I feel bad that anybody had to live through that sort of therapy, sprinting from one closet to another. But I'm also glad enough of us ran that gauntlet and survived to change things for the generations who followed. <3

Reading about trans stuff I found out that the guidelines my (now long retired) therapist used to decide if I was deserving of HRT or not where outdated even before I was born! I feel like a living museum. But hey at least it means others don't have to go through that pain anymore.

I recently got the" scary side effects of HRT"-line from a cis person, because I get bad edema now when I don't drink enough, and I suffer from regular migraines. But my cis female family members have that too, yet nobody's concerend about them. The sickness I suffer from is called being female.

These HRT-timelines only include, like, 3-5 years. After that there's still changes ofc. This year I experienced: - My arms look like my mom's. - I'm the most cishet-looking of my colleagues. - Instead of thinking I'm worthless because I'm trans I started to feel worthless because I'm a woman.

directly stating your intentions and desires will save you from so many awkward situations!!

« Hey I'm just trying to make new friends right now » remains un-fucking-defeated in the marketplace of ideas.

'would you push a button if it made you cis' no dude. i don't hate being trans. i hate transphobes. i'd push a button if it flung all of them into the sun and live my life happy-style

i think people deserve love even when they dont love themselves

Recently started rewatching the 1960s ITV-series "The Prisoner". It hits way harder now that I'm a queer who's been to a psychiatric hospital. Also the series very much evokes a queer reading, which is fun. Highly recommend, it's free on youtube. Additional thoughts:

I'm wearing a very comfortable dress today that cost 170 bucks when it was new and I got mine for 4.50. Thrifting is completely OP.

Clitvicular@clitvicular.bsky.social · last mo.

After a childhood of not being allowed to play dressup with dolls as a kid, I now play dressup with myself. You can't stop me from self-actualizing. (added some thrifting advice to this post btw.)

non-trans lesbians and trans women alike are disproportionately into fat women. this is because both groups understand the pain of not eating enough. and really like breasts.

People say you can’t love others if you don’t love yourself, but that’s not true Everyone has times when they can’t love themselves. Even then, you can still love someone else deeply If you can’t love yourself right now, please don’t worry One day, you’ll be able to love both yourself and others🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Protipp: If you got a reputation for insightful and intelligent responses to discussions, you can every now and then act like you think very hard about something and then just say something extremely stupidly worded, like an IRL shitpost, and everyone will completely crack up.

Why did you transition, right answers only. (Huge TW, dark lore!) Finding out I was trans threw me off my death-scedule. I didn't think it would work, but figured I could try it risk-free, bc. if it failed I'd resort to plan A and kms, and I wouldn't be able to remember the guilt and shame. [1/2]

why did you transition, right answers only i had run as far from everything tying me to who i had always hated being physically. there was nowhere else i could go. i had to change or die, and while i had always thought i didn't care if i died, some part of me actively wanted to live.

I love myself, and I love my found family, my partners, my friends. I love trans people. I love us. We are so fucking wonderful. So. Please love yourself too, because I love you, okay?

Being nice is great! Do it for no reason! Nobody can stop you! Not even God!

I believe that we should all have the right to change sex, freedom from discrimination for changing sex, and access to the means of changing sex socially, bodily, and legally, without being subject to pathologizing regulatory regimes enforcing patriarchal law and mandatory heterosexuality.
