Jokes aside, I see people go "I think I'm trans but I'm not gonna address it because of all the difficult stuff, what would I get out of it?" And the answer is true joy. That's what you get out of it. Unless you face yourself, fully and completely, and know who you are, you will never find true joy.

"Being trans is sad Being trans is horrid." Shut up. Being trans is great. Look. I've got inner peace and a fucking scythe.

Bras are so ridiculously affirming. Putting one on, for the support and modesty (and frankly because it's pretty), feels affirming as heck. But taking it off when you're home and relaxing? Also excellent. 🤌

trans healthcare is also largely cis doctors telling you the amount/type/delivery method of HRT you want is super dangerous because they operate on thirty year old info they refuse to update because they don’t see enough of us to care about staying up to date on modern advancements

trans healthcare is largely cis doctors telling you that transitioning is going to be a big disappointment and then being completely wrong over and over for their entire career

not being able to move on from a fandom is stunted growth. fandom has gotten weirdly reactionary about this but it’s true. if you can’t let go of characters created by someone suing amnesty international for identifying her as a bigot and need to be told that’s just fine you are not a serious person

I swear to god if one more person goes "and this is why I read HP fanfiction :) I still get my Potter stories but without her!" NO! STOP IT! Even if they aren't financially supporting Rowling you are contributing to the continued existence of the franchise as a fixture of pop culture. Just STOP

Up to date on all my Etsy orders! Recently passed by my 100 sales milestone and it's such an awesome feeling that my little bits and bobs are out there, hopefully making someone's life just a little bit nicer. ☺️

cis person about someone who just transitioned: “I just can’t recontextualize your gender that fast, I need time!!” cis person when they get corrected about the pronouns of a stranger’s dog they just met: [never messes it up ever again and doesn’t even think abt it]

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

You know who isn't getting radicalized? Guys who do ships in a bottle. Embrace model-building and avoid the pitfalls of right-wing extremism

Rewatched Everything Everywhere All At Once last night and god, this line hit so hard this time around, and so neatly highlights something that's so different for me nowadays. I'm finally proud of myself.
