Ilyanposting - You Just Gotta Keep Livin Man

its crazy that before i realized im trans i never wanted to grow up, and could never imagine a future as a woman.

but, i am so excited to be a man. im looking forward to meeting myself, to maybe being a dad, to growing old.

its funny how things change.

In ~these times~ it is important for queer people to be reminded of what "coming out" originally meant. "Coming out" did not mean telling all of your co-workers something super stigmatized and vulnerable about you, wearing your queer status on your sleeve in public, informing the police or government institutions about your sexuality, or even telling your parents. "Coming out" meant venturing out into the queer community; being among other queers as a queer yourself.

Coming out isn't about telling the entire world when doing so is not safe for you, it's not about arming your enemies with information they could use against you. No, coming out is about making a fulfilling queer life possible for yourself through participation in the queer community. It is about escaping the restrictions and dangers of the cisgender heterosexual world by rooting oneself more deeply into the queer one.

And you can always do that. No matter how oppressed we are. No matter how much the culture shifts and policies are enacted to terrorize us. We are always able to be ourselves when we are amongst each other. And living our queerness has always been a collective social project, not just a matter of personal exposure.

I'm literally begging you, please be weird and queer, online and offline if you can, I want you to live life being as fascinating as possible

you'll only be alive for so long, please spend some time being odd

I can barely contain myself right now

holy shit

HOLY SHIT

can someone recommend some beginner normal behaviors for someone looking to become normal

so proud of my organs for unionizing. would be great if it wasn't against me but you can't win them all i guess.

I love being trans.

And I'll always love it, even if I find out I'm not.

I'll never regret chasing such a beautiful dream like forming the self to what you want to see, no matter what others say or do.

I am beautiful.

Being trans is beautiful.

Being trans is strength a million times over.

I love you Trans People! We are stars and to stars we will return, bright and shining!! 🌟

I am in love with every aspect of me and every aspect of you, and we will live tans hand in trans hand forever.
