Sometimes the most random things are so gender affirming. I’ve started wearing my converse regularly again and it feels like the most affirming thing ever, that and like, oddly enough being chubby is also really affirming? I like looking in the mirror and being able to see myself as a chubby boy/butch. It feels so good. That plus typical stuff like short hair and binding make me feel so good. I know Im still not precived as masculine/androgynous but I feel good and that helps all the misgendering not feel so shitty.

Happy trans day of visibility. We exist, we have always existed, and we will always exist.

Being trans is a beautiful thing. It’s hard, but it’s beautiful.

not to be a dirty commie or anything but i don't think any one person should have enough money to solve world hunger and then get to decide not to

Ive almost cried over two separate songs today, both having ro do with being trans. The first that caused it was a line “im not a act of revolution that you’re watching on the news, I bet you’d like me if we talked, I bet you wouldn’t have a clue”

Because, people are so hateful here. It’s crushing. They treat trans people like they’re monsters, out to get you and convert you. But were not. It hurts their hate.

The second line from a song that made me cry was “one page of the bible isn’t worth a life”

Because, it’s so awful. People around here say they want queer people to die. Im so scared, im so hurt. I just want to exist. To love and be loved.

Why do they hate me, just because of these things?

Feeling a bit of queer joy today! I’ve been really struggling for a long time because of a lack of community (for context I live in a super tiny town and im the only openly queer person in my school)

But! Me and my friend are gonna try to start a GSA at my school!!!! It’s giving me hope. Reminding me that we’re here, and we’re not going anywhere no matter what. Being around other LGBTQIA+ people really makes me understand Chappel Roan’s song “Pink Pony Club” on another level. It feels like the embodiment of joy and acceptance and finding community for the first time and how life changing that can be.

Im here, Queer and not going anywhere

I just want to say I love being a lesboy.

My gender is so fucky it’s like a blackhole that I occasionally poke with a stick. I feel vaguely masculine and happy when referred to masculinely but im not actually a man. Im a boy at best, but im mostly just a vague blob. However I was raised femininely and my attraction to women and others feels incredibly queer no matter what.

I aspire to be masculine and confident enough to one day call myself a butch, but I feel like im too young and too soft for it. Butch feels like such a label deserving of respect because they seem like people who know their community history.

Tldr: Butches a cool and I look up to them.

I’m very happy with myself and I love being a lesboy so much. I feel so validated calling myself that

I'd rather hangout with the straight boyfriend than the queer cop who insists they're one of the "good ones" while harassing people of color

I'd rather hangout with the straight palestinian grandma than the queer zionist who keeps insisting that the death of palestinians is the one way ticket to queer liberation

I'd rather hangout with the leather dyke who is a mspec gaybian and uses paw/pawself pronouns than the puritan who makes "callout posts" clearly targeting disabled queer artists

arguing w/ my brother and I needed to make this

Reblog if you think ‘transmasc lesbian’ is a valid identity

I’ll show him the number of notes after about a week or so

Deny (capitalism)

Defend (basic needs and rights)

Depose (elites, corrupt politicians, corporate media)

“I feel bad for his kids.” I don’t. They’re gonna get the best therapy money can buy. They’re gonna have nannies to take care of them. And once they become adults they’ll get enough money to set them up for life.

My mom died when I was a kid and my dad had to take care of us by himself on artist wages. If you’re struggling to make rent with your commissions, imagine trying to support two kids on top of that while trying to deal with the deaths of your wife and your father within a month of each other.

So yeah. I don’t feel bad for any of his family. They’ll do fine without him. They’ve got the money for it.

Word on the street

[punkspassion]

i can't fucking shut up about the man that people are starting to call "The Claims Adjuster" because he not only shot that evil fucker but:

wrote deny defend depose on the bullets in sharpie

deliberately left behind a backpack in central park full of fucking monopoly money

and the cherry on top (so far) is that he potentially used a gun that was designed for veterinarians to put down sick animals

its art, its amazing, this is the best thing thats happened in like 10 years and he is my hero. Everything has felt so bleak and this is like a ray of light shining through the dark clouds into my soul

may they never catch him, and may we never find out who he was

[punkspassion]

I think it should be noted that The Claims Adjuster indirectly saved hundreds, if not thousands, of lives. His actions intimidated Blue Cross Blue Shield into reversing it's new anesthesia policy, which would've led to rushed surgeries, people being unable to afford the surgeries in the first place, and people becoming impoverished in the wake of extremely high medical bills.

The life of a mass murderer, in exchange for the lives of hundreds of people (and that's if we're going with a low estimate).

Maybe he didn't intend to get that specific policy reversed, but he definitely intended to send a message to big healthcare companies and draw attention to all the lives lost due to their greed, and it worked. Possibly better than he'd imagined.

Just some food for thought.
