trans people are very good at making themselves small and harder to reach because we’ve been conditioned since even before we realized who we were that smallness meant safety.

Can I truly call myself a Fire Emblem fan if my favorite game in the series has practically no incest in it (being able to romance your grandmother/daughter notwithstanding,)?
6 days until my EMG, and then after that my orthopedist will finally do something to help me. And then hopefully not long after that I can get back to living my life.
Trans Air Bud remake called Air Hon. “There’s nothing in the rules that says a tranny can’t play basketball.”
Gotta say these past couple weeks have taken me from apathetic to professional sports to wanting to see the complete destruction of the entire industry.
Yeah, we’re all going through it lately, buddy. You ain’t special.

Genuinely what the fuck do these people even want? There are no trans women in the WNBA. Is the WNBA supposed to put out statement declaring that they hate trans people? What is even the ask here?
I cannot say anything that wouldn’t result in my immediate ban from the internet.
Ann M. Lipton@annmlipton.bsky.social · 15h agoFor your consideration: “If you live in the celebrity bubble, party after party, with the same people—the same 25 people—life gets really boring,” said Kevin O’Leary, the businessman and “Shark Tank” panelist. “When you end up with a private-equity guy, your life gets far more interesting.”
I shouldn’t be lying around moping and doing weed and booze to try to cure my malaise. I should be leveraging my mental health issues to try to get on ketamine treatments and using *that* to cure my malaise instead!
Commissioning a transphobic bigot to write an article about a UK academic scandal to somehow indict US higher education (a completely different system about which this case has literally no bearing) for being too woke is peak New York Times brain. Not a great thing, just an unfortunate one.

this is one of the funniest things anyone has ever said in my replies
4. "Too many side tangants" about racism in the trans community. 5. My energy could be seen as "off-putting to other trans people." 6. And this is the best part; I talked too much. Idk man, I could've written my Colin Trevorrow essay instead of people wasting my time for no reason.
I got paragraphs from her and co-host explaining why my section was removed. Which included (but not limited to): 1. The anger I expressed was deemed "unproductive." 2. Saying that my criticisms of enbies and trans men who contribute to transmisogyny was "unfair." 3. Too much swearing.
Nat Writes On Good Days🇵🇷🏳⚧@doctorclocktapus.bsky.social · 23h agoA friend of mine invited me on her podcast where she made an episode talking about transmisogyny online. More specfically, she and her co-host wanted a POC trans woman's perspective. My section was completely removed from the episode cause I "sounded too angry."

Sometimes when I have trouble breathing I don’t immediately reach for my inhaler. Sometimes I just let myself struggle to breathe in the vain hope that I’ll magically just… cease
to see a trans person get stabbed to death, a trans prisoner get denied meds they need not to die etc and be like "but what does this Really Mean?" is actually very cruel. maybe u don't realize that but i believe this is apparent if u think about it for even a moment
it's kinda nuts how controversial it is here when i say that transphobia is the hatred of trans ppl. i pretty much always make ppl mad when i say that. even other trans ppl. like damn
Really isn’t being discussed enough that centrists on Twitter are going completely insane and losing their grip on reality

Man, I wish I could actually be a bunch of spores right now instead of a stupid human, and even worse, one of the types of humans that other humans don’t even view as humans.
you're welcome to be mad at me for being unreasonable or shrill or cynical or mean to our staunch WNBPA allies doing their best or whatever as usual. there's no need to come back and apologize later. you have my blessing now and my forgiveness in advance.
WNBA: *technically doesn't yet ban trans ppl* WNBA: we're convening a task force of team pres & GMs on The Trans Question WNBPA: we're having hard convos. don't be mean tho. call your local fascist to say now's a great time to amend title IX :) i'm sorry for being capable of basic math ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i am not trying to rob comfort from those who have taken comfort from this statement. i would simply invite you to notice what isn't in it and consider the implications of that absence.

ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social · 12h agoDisney has now shelved three episodes featuring storylines centered on transgender characters and gender identity. The episodes, from ‘Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur,’ ‘The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,’ and ‘Win or Lose,’ were either cut from release or have since leaked online.
the goal is to generate endless conversations about it in the highest-profile slots they can manage, so they have time to just say that trans women are "biological males" over and over and over and over and over and
just so we're 100% clear on this, the trans sports thing is about getting ordinary people to say to themselves, "well, there *are* some Real Differences, after all..." — it's a publicity campaign
