TW : Transphobia
With the gradual loss of our rights as trans people around the world, I keep thinking about this story I read two years ago on Reddit. It could have been me or several of my friends. When will this stop? When will we finally be able to imagine a future where we can exist in peace? When will people stop finding it justified when we are attacked? When will people start addressing the real problems in the world?

Every human being deserves to own the land on which they live. The gatekeeping has to stop! Involuntary homelessness has to stop! With today's technology, there is NO reason why anyone should have to go unhoused or go hungry!!!
the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)
feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated
it blows my mind that people think you can tell what genitals someone has, what hormones they take or what hormones their body primarily produces, or what their medical history has been like just by looking at them. my AGAB changed twice when i was a kid. i was confidently announced in my ultrasounds and after my birth to be male.
my parents fully prepared for a male child, with a "boy's" name and all. something changed after this and they had to change to taking care of a "female" child, which then changed to "wow idk dude" during puberty due to the combination of both "male" and "female" traits that were now developing.
you have no way of knowing what's going on with my body just by looking at me, and it goes for any other stranger. people can have extremely long and complicated histories with their physical sex and it's just not worth trying to go the extra mile to 'figure out' what someone "originally was". it's impossible.
Hey LGBTQ+ fam. Thanks for being here. All of you. Today is Transgender Visibility Day, so I just wanted post something about myself. I'm not really one for showcasing but seeing everyone else out there and hearing your stories and getting to some of you has been liberating and encouraging.
I maintain a fleet of medical helicopters in California. Particularly, I pay special attention to the helicopter for UCSF children's hospital. I've been working on these machines for 10yrs. I'm a lead mechanic, I'm respected here, and I get paid well for my skills.
I own a home; a fixer upper and I love the endless project list.
I'm the mother of an autistic child. He's growing up so quickly.
I fix, tune, and ride motorcycles. They make me feel so free and light!
Allergy season is gamer season.
I have too many hobbies. I'm never bored.
I'm 40yo. I wasn't able to start exploring my gender identity until I was 32. I started HRT at 37. And I'll continue transitioning at my own pace. I'm 75% fem, 15% masc, and 10% who gives a crap! I know who and what I am. I like who and what I am. I know who and what I want to be in the future and I'm working towards that.
