“I’m an ally but I could never date a trans woman because I was abused by a man as a child and the thought of dating a trans woman reminds me of him” should not be as widely accepted an argument as it is.
Why do people feel the need to chime in on every conversation like that? No one is keeping track of who you’re dating. You could never date a trans woman in your life and no one would bat an eye. Why would you choose to come online and, as an “ally”, compare a trans woman being attracted to you to sexual assault?
Found a bunch of booklets from a transfeminist conference I helped organize in 2015 and I love how this panel is still just as relevant a decade later lmao
Yesterday, I moderated this discussion with some Palestinians from the occupied west bank who have been resisting the zionists in their own little town. It was a strong mix of emotions to hear them speak - on one hand, very painful hear what they are put through daily, on the other, very invigorating to hear how much they value the protests in the universities to force them to divest. It is easy to fall into this trap of thinking "what are we doing apart from screaming free free Palestine??" But always remember that they are watching us, and if nothing else it gives them strength to see millions out there still supporting them.
almost every big post i see on here with a joke about transfeminine people, whether coming from someone transfeminine or not, rely on sexualization of transfems as the punchline. I could probably list on one hand the number of popular transfem-humor posts ive seen in the past year where the joke wasn't sexual in nature. which could mean nothing.
Big fan of when old jrpgs would do this
Hey, so we’re an insane trans woman and we have been really really struggling for awhile, things only continue to get more and more difficult with the way the world is going and it’s getting insanely overwhelming to deal with. If you could help us alleviate as much of this stress and misery as possible by helping us pay for literally any of the crap hanging over our shoulders at all times that would be tremendously helpful and wonderful. Our cashapp is $CharaHaze Venmo is @Chara-Haze and our PayPal is lilakat.connolly@gmail.com. Seriously please if you can spare anything. We still have so so much to deal with, car issues, food and gas, fixing appliances around the house, etc. everything helps!
I am Nevin Al-Sir, I live in Gaza, I am 27 years old, I used to work as an accountant in an accounting firm, I am married and have a child, I was also pregnant during the war, the war on Gaza, and when the evacuation order came from our area in Gaza, we fled through the corridor that the occupation lied to us about and the safe corridor was a disaster. We walked on foot, the longest distance I have ever walked in my life. I was displaced to a tent with the rest of my family, and it was very difficult, tiring and exhausting. Every time there was an evacuation in the southern areas, I was forced to evacuate again to a worse tent. Then I gave birth to my child in a field hospital because the hospitals were out of service. I gave birth to my son in the winter, the cold and the war together, which did not destroy my house and my tent. Now we live in a tent, me, my mother, my father, my husband, my brothers, my sisters and their children, and I need your support to try to survive.

What they don’t tell you: Self care sometimes isn’t fun. It’s going to class even when you want to stay in bed and rest. It’s paying bills on time and running errands even when every strand of your being cant stand it. It’s going to therapy and taking your medicine even when you don’t want to. It’s using coping skills even when going back to self destructive ones seems more appealing.
Recovering sucks. It’s hard. But you have to believe in the light at the end of the tunnel. And even on those days you don’t, you fake it till you make it.
Recovery is still worth it.
