"trans people deserve love respect and dignity" - sweet nothing, pablum, easy to co-opt into nonperformative statements, it's giving Labour Party

"Public Official X's specific decision to Y is completely unevidenced and is harming trans people. Public Official X should resign or face consequences." - unco-optable, focused on justice, deliciously angry

Aotearoa 2040 Entry 2: The Tailor’s Brew

It’s been a bit longer since writing the first of these things than I initially planned it to be, and I have thoughts. I feel like past me went a bit overly hard on tryna define structures, and intents, and grand plans for what these would be like, as I do too often, and I’m here pushing at the edges of that cage. Am gonna let these entries be whatever wants to be written in the moment, and right now, I’m feeling like telling you about a favourite coffee shop of mine, call me biased.

It’s called the tailor’s brew, and despite it’s name, and despite the intent when it was started, has stayed more a coffee shop than lots of the others. I live in Ōtautahi, which was a very spread out city before, when things went down, when we approached revolution, lots of the neighborhood coffee shops became centres of community, places where things and information got distributed, where people doing craft work would hang out to be close to, listen in on the comings and goings of the world.

The tailor’s brew did not, that way, go. It was passed over by necessity, kept it’s original spirit, it’s original story. Still born of revolution, but more in the sense of pre-revolution solarpunk weirdos, than the uprising we more know. 

Once upon a time someone decided to drop out of university, said “To hell with this, I wanna live a life that matters”, and tried finding a way through the world. The bumped, and stumbled, and did all sorts, and of all their skills, they developed a new one that brought them home. They made clothes, at first for themselves, then for their friends, their family, whoever asked, wanted, they asked mostly for people’s time in exchange, their skills, but, occasionally, took coin.

In time, and pressure from those around them, they opened a shop, where folks could come in, get clothes made exactly to what they needed, and a “gimmick” around that discussion being long and lengthy, done over coffee or alcohol. The tailor’s other skills, and other friends caught up to them, their coffee, cocktails, and conversation, often being as sought after as their clothes, the shop shifted, was given it’s name.

2035 came and went, but that shop is still there, it’s tailor sometimes goes wandering, but others look after it too, and you can still go, for coffee, and a drink, and long conversation, about what sort of clothes would suit.

Wishing a good Waitangi day to most people and a Noah's ark-esque dildo monsoon to David Seymour and anyone who tries to show up at Waitangi with him

trans people who are anti t4t make me so sad. because beyond just not knowing what being t4t means, the fact that they believe that t4t is just being a chaser is indicative of a deeper issue, being that cis people have ingrained the idea that we are unfuckable and unloveable, disgusting by nature, and that anybody who would voice attraction to us, a step further, ONLY CHOOSE TO DATE TRANS PEOPLE, would be a pervert with a disgusting fetish who wont see them as equal.

thats not what t4t is.

t4t is the rejection of the idea that we are inherently disgusting, just because we are in the eyes of a cisnormative society.

t4t is the understanding that we are safer and stronger together as a community than apart.

t4t is seeing your trans boyfriend try on clothes from your old boy wardrobe that you hated growing up but now your least favorite shirt is your favorite because its the perfect shade of red that brings out his eyes.

t4t is teaching your trans girlfriend that has been scared to do her own makeup how youve learned from other trans women, who learned from other trans women, who learned from other trans women.

t4t is doing your testosterone shots together and kissing each others sticks after you put the bandaid on.

t4t is holding the door for your trans girlfriend and showing her the chivalry she didn't get from her dad growing up, but its ok because you can show her now.

t4t is being on the phone with your partner who just came out as trans/nonbinary after seeing you, YOU, live your truth, and them asking you to help them find a new name, the perfect name for them, and you hope theyll carry that part of you forever.

you are trans and that is beautiful. your transness is beautiful. trans love is beautiful. dont let ANYBODY make you feel unworthy of sex or love. THATS what being t4t means.

I'm not a trans role model or a queer mom or whatever. I'm a dirtbag burnout commie hedonist who's gonna tell you to stop trying to please people when you're still fuckin miserable and then strongly suggest you go drop acid or suck some dick in a bathroom until you stop caring about laws and social norms. Trans liberation begins with self liberation, stop hoping for an easy guide to being trans and instead tread the path of mutilation until you've carved out everything false within yourself

"guys we're so cooked" "it's wraps" "the end is near" shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up. i say that with love because you are probably saying it out of distress and hopelessness, but for your own well-being and for everyone else's, please stop saying this shit.

no we are not "cooked." and by saying that, by the way, you are giving more power to the neo-nazi oligarchy in charge.

they want you to abandon all hope of a better life. they want you to believe "oh well, it's over, we might as well stop trying to fight back and just resign ourselves to despair forever."

every time you get on tiktok and comment "guys we're so cooked haha it's over," you are feeding into the mindset of hopeless compliance. you are, unknowingly, spreading this infectious idea that just because we've lost one battle, we've lost the entire war.

your words matter. i am saying this out of love and concern for our future, but please stop choosing words of defeat.
