Thank You Black Trans Men And Women And Nonbinary Folk

I'm very fond of this video

What can't trans women do?

Uhh, a few things.

Ah well, it's fine. It's nice having things in common with other people, it makes the world feel less isolating.

Speaking of which, thank you @bubbleverseart for joining me here, this was fun!

Also, there's a couple of you in the crowd who might notice something familiar about the comic itself. Good job if you figure out what it is.

Please be warned: I’m an addictive medication.

they've diagnosed me with i need to sleep next to u holding u the entire night

You know, that Mythbusters post legitimately changed my life. Before seeing it, I had exponentially more guilt and stress about not being able to sleep, which of course, further exacerbated my inability to sleep.

Now, every time I wake up about three am, knowing I have to get up at 6.45, instead of stressing and panicking about how my day is going to be sleep deprived and miserable, I just tell myself 'Time to activate Mythbusters Protocol' and lie there with my eyes closed safe in the knowledge that I am measurably reducing later feelings of exhaustion.

And when this happens, about 70% of the time the reduction of guilt and stress means I actually do fall back asleep, so all in all instead of getting only three or four hours sleep, I get five to six and a half.

Which y'know, major improvement in health and energy.

“Facts don’t care about your feelings… unless we’re having trouble controlling you, then my feelings matter and your facts don’t.”

This right here. Masculinity is “sweet goofball” energy and I will not be taking notes at this time.

Women are cool as fuck, but I also like when men do cute things.

I like when they're gentle and patient with animals or children.

I like when they do something masculine and get all excited and proud of themselves and look to see if you were impressed.

I like when they have a dumb (but largely harmless) idea and spend all day making it happen, then either fail hilariously or succeed in spite of common sense and jump around hooting and hollering with the boys.

I like when they completely derail a conversation with a well-placed dad joke.

I like how a man can be a smart sensible person, but the moment you put him in a room with a bunch of other dudes he gets along with, they all form a hive mind collectively sharing one brain cell.

Basically, men are cute in their natural state, but too many get brainwashed into being heartless controlling monsters and then spend their lives angry and lonely when they can't form an honest intimate connection with anyone.

Like, fellas, all you gotta do to be attractive is just be a sincere, caring human being, with all the limitations and flaws that come with that. You can still be a big masculine badass if you want! Doing your best to protect and lift up those around you in spite of your weaknesses and flaws is infinitely more attractive than being successful at everything but hurting everyone who gets close.

Anyway, huge props to all the men out there who put in the work to unlearn all the toxic bullshit they're told all the time about how "real men" act. Y'all are brave and handsome and cool, and the world is better with you in it!

That includes trans men, gnc men, non-binary men, and all other men who don't fit the traditional definition of "man"!

Keep being fantastic fellas! 💖

“Cave Johnson here. I’ve received complaints from anonymous employees that our support of the “homosexual lifestyle” is “degenerate” and “irresponsible”. It really got me thinking and I think I found a solution. So good news! We now have 23 vacated positions reserved for members of the LGBT community. Additional good news, we began a new testing initiative on evolutionary degenration with 23 test subjects all ready to go.“

schrödinger's flirting. i mean it as much as you do

Damn. Got it.

Thanks lovely! I’ll do my best to catch folks so they don’t make the same mistakes.

Gee, I hope becoming the wizened old mentor that can’t do the adventuring her students do doesn’t come with any unforeseen consequences!

Feminizing HRT is just a really long magical girl transformation sequence.

I’m still me. Ms. Sophia Esther <Redacted>.

A personal vent comic based on the ongoing events.

I had to get it out of my system.
