Actual Footage Of Me Playing GG:S

You can lead a trans person to the cursed pool but you can’t make them jump in.

Only they can say whether theyre trans or not; however, I know many trans people (myself included) for whom this was a part of their egg story.

My advice is: internalized transphobia is a helluva drug. Let them figure out how to navigate that themself.

CALLING ALL TRANS PEOPLE

Someone I know says they wish they were born as the opposite sex (and that they would only transition if it could be done instantly) but still identifies as cis. I want to be as respectful and hands-off as possible so they can figure this out themselves but I just wanted to ask y’all if they are trans. I think the only things holding them back are some misconceptions about gender and a fear of being discriminated against for being trans. Do they count as trans if they don’t identify as it? I’m still going to respect their wishes to be called by their current pronouns and name, but I just want to know if it would be okay to refer to them as trans when talking about them (to people who don’t know them ofc). Oh also as a disclaimer: they said they didn’t want me using they/them pronouns for them but i’m just using those pronouns to protect their identity.

Really hope this is true of my friend; I unfortunately had to block them bc they were deep in the transphobia sauce.

Yeah that sad boy who is always making female characters in video games, her nipples hurt cause she started estradiol recently.

What the heck! I'm almost 20, I swear. 

Get with a trans person before they come out? You were Beta Testing

Like a trans person before they come out, and get with them after? Call that Pre-Ordering

Get with a trans person after they come out, but before they do all their intended medical transition things? Nah you were just playing Early Access

A little lost piece from trans history: a 22-year-old trans woman won a 1967 Wyoming beauty contest. She entered the pageant just a year after she transitioned. Unfortunately, the judges disqualified her after she informed a competitor that she was trans.

Dysphoria + Dysmorphia is certainly a fun time

Sometimes I look in the mirror and think “man I wanna kiss that goth girl” realize I mean me and then self deprecate.

It’s Trans Day of Remembrance.

This is the day we remember the trans lives we lost this year, both known and unknown. These lives may be lost by their own hand or by violence dealt against them.

This day gives me strange feelings: some survivor’s guilt, to be sure, some grief for siblings I’ll never get to know, but also a feeling I struggle to find words for.

There are many names that should be on that list that never will be due to never coming out. Back in high school, I almost became one of those names. Honestly, what kept me from being one of those names was the fact that it would never be known, and that I would be deadnamed at my funeral. Having that experience gave me a point of relation that I think about whenever this day rolls around. Those are the ones my mind drifts to.

You may be a closeted trans person, considering the value of your life now, considering a feeling of entrapment and restriction and the alternatives to that feeling. I have lost much by coming out, but I’ve gained so much more: freedom and recognition of my self from people that truly love me. Know that there are places and people of support that will love you for you. If living inauthentucally is too big a burden to bear, as it so often is, please try to live authentically rather than give up entirely. You won’t be alone.

For the rest of you, please take some time today to meditate on the life and love that could have been, and how you can make the world a bit better for those at risk of becoming a name in this group, whether that be in a sense of welcoming, loving acceptance, or in a sense of protectiveness from those that might harm them. If you’re the praying type, please pray for a world more accepting to us so that this day becomes less and less significant.

For those for whom this day exists, rest in the peace and love you did not know in life. You are remembered.

This. Makes me. So goddamn happy.

I wonder if Lio would be glad to finally have a daughter that shares his hair texture, and if Wolf would let Kipo pick out all her hair accessories
