what's wrong with sophieinwonderland? /gq idk anything //cur /nfta

She identifies as and supports the use of the term "tulpa", which tons of people have told her repeatedly is racist as fuck. It's disrespectful towards the closed Buddhist culture that tulpamancy comes from by contributing to the bastardized "Western version" of the practice.

Also, regardless of your opinion on the tulpa stuff, she's just a bad person, honestly. She spreads misinfo about dissociative disorders, supports transID/radqueer shit, and (whether intentionally or otherwise) kicked off a harassment campaign against another plural blogger on here which contributed to them being hospitalized.

This isn't directed at you anon, 'cuz you were just asking (which is totally fine, I don't mind!), but for anyone who knows this stuff already and supports her anyways: fuck off. I'm tired of seeing you on my blog after the DNI in my pinned post. This space is a safe spot for systems of color, and always will be.

today in church one of the priests referred to trans people as "those who are growing into the gender they were called to be" and i'm kind of enjoying the idea of like....divinely ordained top surgery

[anarcho-catboyism]

Idk what trans man needs to hear this but you're NOT evil or disgusting for being a man. You do NOT have to suffer for the sins of the patriarchy committed by cis dudes. Being a man doesn't invalidate the misogyny you experienced growing up or experience now. Being a man doesn't mean you deserve to be isolated. Being a man doesn't mean you're inherently predatory or scary. You didn't "choose" this, and finding your true self is NOT "betraying the community" because you happen to be a man and/or masculine rather than a woman and/or feminine. You ARE allowed to be upset when people "affirm" your gender by malgendering you.

You DO deserve a community that uplifts you. You DO deserve to experience trans joy. You DO deserve to have your voices heard and your struggles recognized. Wanting the bare minimum of solidarity is NOT "making everything about trans men".

Someone anonymously messaged me to tell me that writing about detrans folks makes me a traitor to trans people, because all detrans people want to push conversion therapy on us and forcibly detransition us.

That’s precisely the kind of narrative that ends up pushing detransitioners into the arms of TERFs and the religious far-right.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with detransitioning. Sometimes people realize that transitioning no longer suits them, or never really did. And that’s fine.

When we systematically push them away regardless of their politics, we make people feel like the only places they can get support are among transphobes. That’s not a good thing. Building de/trans solidarity is an critical tool for disarming anti-trans movements.

This FB post by Rebecca Solnit is the thing keeping me sane this morning,so I’m sharing it here in case it helps you all, too:

“They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving. You may need to grieve or scream or take time off, but you have a role no matter what, and right now good friends and good principles are worth gathering in. Remember what you love. Remember what loves you. Remember in this tide of hate what love is. The pain you feel is because of what you love.

The Wobblies used to say don't mourn, organize, but you can do both at once and you don't have to organize right away in this moment of furious mourning. You can be heartbroken or furious or both at once; you can scream in your car or on a cliff; you can also get up tomorrow and water the flowerpots and call someone who's upset and check your equipment for going onward.

A lot of us are going to come under direct attack, and a lot of us are going to resist by building solidarity and sanctuary. Gather up your resources, the metaphysical ones that are heart and soul and care, as well as the practical ones.

People kept the faith in the dictatorships of South America in the 1970s and 1980s, in the East Bloc countries and the USSR, women are protesting right now in Iran and people there are writing poetry. There is no alternative to persevering, and that does not require you to feel good. You can keep walking whether it's sunny or raining. Take care of yourself and remember that taking care of something else is an important part of taking care of yourself, because you are interwoven with the ten trillion things in this single garment of destiny that has been stained and torn, but is still being woven and mended and washed.”

Okay so, explination.

Started T, you know how kids have someone they look up to and want to be when they grow up? Yeah so Im a young adult that never got to do that cause dysphoria so I decided my goal is to become batman (tas)

This means my goal can be broken down into steps of:

Have a large house

Big family

Friends (ride-or-die)

Exercise (be able to lift/carry around/throw kids (and current nephews))

Decent/well paying job

Be able to do volunteer/charity work

Etc.

So this is my thoughts, rambles, and documentation of that. You too can become the bat if you wish

It's less of a "I look wrong" now and more of a "oh I need to clean myself up" lol it gets better.

Promise ❤️
