"[T4T is] a promise. You just promise to love trans girls above all else. The idea—although maybe not the practice—is that a girl could be your worst enemy, the girl you wouldn’t piss on to put out a fire, but if she’s trans, you’re gonna offer her your bed, you’re gonna share your last hormone shot.”

Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones, Torrey Peters

creators denying homoerotic subtext is so funny… it’s not up to you kings….

thinking about Kait Rokowski writing, "nothing ever ends poetically, it ends and we turn it into poetry. all that blood was never once beautiful. it was just red." and losing it

Wild Geese

by Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting– over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

I THINK LOVE IS SOMETHING / THAT HAPPENS TO OTHER PEOPLE

[ID 1: traditional drawing in black and pink pen of a person with short pink hair embracing themselves, wearing a pink binder and sweatpant. The drawing stops at the top of the sweatpants. The drawing looks side on and the person is facing away. there are two small unfinished sketches on the page, an eye in black pen and a scribbly drawing in pink of a person covering their face.]

[ID 2: traditional drawings over two pages. One is in pink crayon and shows the torso of someone wearing a half-tank binder. The other is in blue and shows someone in a full tank binder and briefs flexing their arms.]

[ID 3: A traditional drawing of @sluttypowerbitch , a white trans woman. The drawing is in black ink and her skin and cardigan are shaded with pink crayon. She is looking up to the left and is standing with most of her weight over one leg. She has long dark hair and is wearing a skirt, black shirt, cardigan, boots, and socks. Around the drawing you can see a pen and pink crayon, with some other stationery visible below the sketchbook.]

[ID: First image is a simple digital line art drawing on a white background of the a disembodied torso (drawn in pink) that is turned slightly to face the right. The body is cut off above the bellybutton and the neck is also cut so that there is no head. The two arms are cut above the elbow. On the chest there are nipples and two zig zag top surgery scars. In black hand written writing (all caps) over the left side of the drawing is the quote:

"This is my body

The only thing

I own entirely"

The second image is the same but in all black and with a grey background. End of ID]

“Gender is a shell game. What is a man? Whatever a woman isn’t. What is a woman? Whatever a man is not. Tap on it and it’s hollow. Look under the shells: it’s not there”
