Mourn your "bloodline" all you want, you'll never bring back bofa

No, it's not a family decision. I'm not your property, you don't own me that's my girlfriends's role :3.

A reminder that families are just people and that often the only things you have in common is DNA and blood. That's it. You don't have to be around people who hurt you. They're just people. There is nothing more special about them than any stranger you cross in the street.

Would you force yourself to see someone you don't like? Well, it's the same thing with your family. I know it's much easier said than done. Trust me, I struggle with it as well.

I’m a Conservative. My Disabled Son Needs Medicaid to Live.

Must be difficult for your son to have such a dickhead as a mother. You voted to fuck over immigrants, to fuck over black people, to fuck over trans people, and now, you're surprised they also want to fuck over the one minority you care about...

I'm sorry, were you too busy being excited hearing about the deportations and the "two gender" bullshit to hear the part that actually affected your own selfish interests? Wanted to fuck over everyone else but those you care about and now you're big sad and feeling betrayed?

Aww, my poor, poor conservative learning the same god damn lesson every time you get what you think you want but never learning from it, must be hard for you, now you're gonna have to deal with the misery you wished upon everyone but you...

I hope your son gets the help he is OWED, but you're the one that treated it as a privilege to take away. He got what you wanted. It wasn't a fucking asterisk at the end of the contract written in 2pt, it was written in giant fucking neons.

Your son deserves all the help he can get, dignity is owed to everyone. Let's start with a better mother.

We really are scared sometimes

CONTENT NOTICE: This comment will contains mention of: misogyny ; transmisogyny ; violence targeted at women, as well as specifically trans women ; psychophobic comments.

Y u p. All the fucking time.

Men just can't understand this. I'm sorry my cis bros, but you simply can't. When society still viewed me as a guy before I transitioned, no matter how empathetic I tried to be to other women, it took actually living as one to actually understand that. Hell, cis women grow their whole lives facing that crap so they internalize it and talking to them, I'm often realizing that they just don't notice how often it's happening to them because of how much of an instinct it's become to them. Multiple women have openly doubted the frequency of my experiences because of that, and it hurts, but I also understand why.

Plus, I invite you to look at the statistics around trans women specifically, they're fucking terrifying. But yeah, every time a dude comes to me, I become an entirely different person for the duration of the interaction. I take my most feminine voice that I can muster, I always keep a smile, I always try to be nice even the face of the most disgusting shit being thrown at me, and it's not because I stand by some principles of being the bigger the person or whatever, no, it's because in the back of my head, I keep thinking: "I don't want to become a statistic".

And when some guy tells me: "Oh, If I were you, I would just tell them to fuck off or pretend to be crazy" or whatever to scare them off, first off, fuck you and your psychophobia, and second: "If I were you", well that's the thing isn't it? You're not me, you're him. Don't tell me what to do or what to feel.

IF YOU ARE A MAN READING THIS AND YOU WANT TO RESPOND TO ME: First off, read my last sentence. And second, read Rule 1.

That wonderful feeling of seeing that you're not alone

That's why I try and have trans symbols that were visible on me at all times. As an act of resistance, a fuck you I'm trans, deal with it. But also, as another form of resistance: community. A reminder that you're not alone. That if you see this, you can come and talk to me at any point, you'll be safe with me. The world sucks and family can be awful. So I don't mind being someone's big sister or cool aunt for even just 10 minutes of their lives.

...at which point we will meet in a comity discussing why we shouldn't give it to you and you will have to convince us otherwise without being present or being able to intervene. Best of luck, you're gonna do great!

Couple Convinced Cis Woman Is Trans, Physically Blocks Her From Gym Bathroom

The victim is a black woman. Which is not surprising. Transphobic and misogynistic standards have a big racist bend to them and black women, especially athletes, have long been targeted with these kinds of things. In competitive sports, it's been an issue for a very long time, black women get a lot of transphobic and misogynistic shit thrown at them because these standards are built on whiteness first and foremost.

Big difference...

Holy fuck, I can already see it coming so before any bullshit even starts...

Ahem... is this thing 📣 on? OK...

RULE 1 OF THIS COMMUNITY

WOMEN ONLY

Trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women’s community is a good fit for them.
