My family thinks I'm a whore. My oppressors think I'm a witch. My advocates think I'm a disposable tool. My friends and true supporters *KNOW* that I'm sweet, strong & thoughtful. Everyone else just hates to see a tranny win. 28 - she/they - Chicago

The novel I'm working on is a white teenage fan of his, who then goes to college in Atlanta, works for a famous strip club, becomes The Plug at parties for both college students and rich people, has GTA-style drama in multiple cities, ALL WHILE KNOWING SHE'S ACTUALLY A TRANS WOMAN DEEP DOWN...

part of why I keep harping on "transition doomerism is literally just body image issues going unchecked using dysphoria as an excuse to deflect from all concerns" is that I keep seeing transition doomer girls post selfies and looking like extremely normal women. Just incredibly normal-looking.

@GrayAthene
darkly funny that the media insists that only democrats have a problem with overly online staffers/ activists while ignoring the fact that ur average young republican is some groyper with a copy of bronze age pervert and porn on their hard drive that'd get you 20 to life

Sometimes, liberation means having to admit people you don't like are right. That is not easy for anyone to deal with, but in an era flooded with disinfo and endless smear campaigns, the sorta mental strength our discourse requires is sorely missing.

While I'm more concerned that trans readers will ignore MC's correct takes because they're too busy being mad at [her], the very real stories of [her] many transfem friends with benefits would probably have never been published, no matter how deeply humanizing they would be.

I think most trans people will love - or at least appreciate - the dolls in my novel of various races, backgrounds, interests, hobbies and struggles.

They'll hate the main character for being the annoying white grindset bro [she] is, but also have to reckon with how often [she] is correct about us.

for all the critiques of rainbow capitalism, a lot of people seem to still cling to it because it is true that being a big enough target demographic means they will tailor products towards you

it's just that on the whole, this can never be liberatory

Rogers Park and surrounding neighborhoods were hit hard by immigration enforcement activity over the weekend.

There's no competition here, but I want to name that the same heavy, violent, fast-moving abduction pattern has invaded the southwest side about three times a week for over a month now.

Counterpoint: the average government staffer moves up the ladder with edgy, bigoted takes they found online or came up with at drinking parties. That's the name of the game. That's how the techno-fascist billionaires took control of our government.

And now that most people in English-speaking countries have experienced some degree of the poor transfeminine experience, they can't handle the toll of depression associated with people they've never wanted to relate to.

People have such disdain for us and we can't even figure out our own needs?

The line between "insurance covers GAC" and "too broke to not DIY" is so thin, easy to go under and very hard to go over. It wasn't the only thing that radicalized me but understanding this vast difference scared me enough to give a shit about trans women I would otherwise have cultural beef with.

I really do think that Ari post is gonna make me start a blog TODAY.

One of the things that's bothered me most about trans(feminine) progress is that, even though I was raised in a comfortable middle class home, it wasn't hard for me to see the degree of transfem ostracization early on.

"transness is a bourgeois western decadence" is exactly the line used outside the West to deny *very local* trans people's right to exist, and it's kinda insane to see Western trans ppl say "yeah that's right"

Are women bourgeois?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

I seriously don't think reiterating the "trans people only exist because of liberalism" line is the progressive argument that Ari seems to think it is. Quite recognisably the opposite in fact.

Miss Major is an incalculable loss for the trans community and a reminder that our movement is always led by Black trans women. Always.

May we all prove to be worthy students of her example.

You're going to be a villain in your abuser’s story regardless so you might as well be the villain for exposing them and healing loudly.

When a trans woman dies of natural causes, at an age greater than 75, having lived more than half her life as herself, that is cause for celebration, not mourning.

Thank you, Miss Major.
