i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child. just a day in the life!
choosing to believe this because it's funny. trans women are the best to ever do it and i love my people.

Ace of Base's Secret Nazi Past
Before he founded Ace of Base, Ulf Ekberg was a neo-Nazi skinhead. Did Ekberg use Ace of Base's success as an opportunity to erase his neo-Nazi past and rise to a position of geopolitical influence?

On the contrary, the trans community needs everyone to get roughly 10000x louder because the two standard positions toward our existence right now are "exterminate them" or "segregate them but with dignity".
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 12h agosomething i’ve been thinking about is whether or not there’s a way to rightfully condemn anti-trans comments by people with a public profile without elevating their celebrity/importance + serving them on a platter to the right wing media ecosystem. the cycle is painfully disturbing and predictable.
Well. Dark Souls 2 finally beaten. What a terrible final boss trio, truly a worthy send off to the weakest title of the trilogy.

As a white woman, I was repeatedly denied a hysterectomy despite having life threatening bleeding that put me in hospital every month. Black and indigenous women are still sterilized against their will. Or “mistakes” like this happen. Racism is rampant in healthcare. apnews.com/article/labe...

You know it's nice to use the guillotine as a symbol, but when you make one you should know the real thing was over 12 feet tall and it really helps with its aura.
I will say one thing, that it may feel like no one who transitioned in the 80s and 90s are around in modern online trans communities, they do exist. I am friends with a few, my first trans people I met in the 90s are among them. They aren't all gone. But this actually pivots into another thing.
The Loch Ness Monster@nessiopeia.space · 23h agoI actually don’t know anyone personally who transitioned in the 80s or 90s at all. Maybe a few figures in the communities I’ve lived, but I have literally 0 access otherwise. An event horizon type lost generation
Every single one of these makes the climate transition more difficult, and makes the public-led transition more important if you care at all about living on this planet peacefully.

BTW, nuclear is THE most environmentally-friendly power source. Hydroelectric disrupts aquatic ecosystems, wind turbines kill birds and create lots of waste in the form of worn-out fiberglass blades, solar panels require lots of nasty mining, etc.

And on top of that, they were all focused on people of color Trans poc, especially trans black people, rarely get any representation in media at all, let alone children's media. So taking that away is a huge slap to the face.
ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social · 23h 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.
1st: Shut up. Just stop. You don't speak for us, don't deign to. 2nd: You're not entitled to answers about our bodies. 3rd: Allyship is a set of actions, not a title. 4th: It's not about you. 5th: And this is really the most important, DO NOT attempt to lecture us about our political situation.
If you, a cis person, are beginning to notice the trans people in your life, whether online or IRL, becoming more cynical, bitter, prickly or difficult to communicate with, but you don't know why? It's because you have a severe blindspot to our suffering. But I can help you figure out what it is:
