what im saying is this. and yeah, if every or most of the people in this situation were also masking, that would be perfect - but it only takes a few people's decisions (improving ventilation in an area) to increase the protection of every single person who will ever be in that space. when somebody masks, they're protecting themselves, and if they're sick or contagious, they're protecting the people around them - but only when they're in that space! no matter what we do, short of highly enforced mask mandates (very, very difficult to both put into action and enforce), people are not going to mask everywhere.
and we can say they should. and we can educate people on why they should. and we will! but it is not going to make everyone mask! our energy would all collectively be better used, imo, into educating on the insane improvements in respiratory spread when you improve air circulation. that means a space can become more accessible if only half of people are masking, or even less. and it will make you, dear reader who masks, even MORE protected against illness in ALL spaces.
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!
A recent post breached containment so I think it's time for some rent lowering:
Trans children should have the right to undergo the correct puberty at the same time as their peers.
Puberty blockers were only ever a compromise and should not be seen as the end goal of trans advocacy.
every post about trans women does not need an addition that creates a parallel equivalent for transmascs. make your own motherfucking post
Not my meme but figured I'd share for those about to ride out the storm
how do you look at this and not see the obvious resentment of bi women?
these are all about misogyny toward LGBT women, yet it specifies every subset of LGBT women other than bi women (except by way of being bi trans women)
(especially if you were around for the years which lesbians on this site spent indignantly sputtering about any bi woman who called herself a Dyke for “appropriating Lesbian-Only terms”, how are you not wary of these sentiments by now?)
the implied unity between cis/TME lesbians and trans women is also really funny. do you know how much of the time cis/transmisogyny-exempt lesbians specifically pull all of this shit on trans women? including whinging about trans women being “Lesbiphobic” and Unfairly Targeting Lesbians when we talk about transmisogyny?
“being used as examples, tokens or ammunition for other people's arguments”—yeah, you mean like when cis lesbians dismiss any criticism of transmisogyny by invoking the existence trans lesbians? even when the criticism comes from trans lesbians ourselves?
how do you not recognize that this is both biphobic and also brushes off the transmisogyny among cis wlw
and yeah, "cringe culture" and "lolcowing" has completely fucking ruined people's creativity and joy and whimsy towards making whatever the fuck they want. it's not dead it just keeps reinventing itself into whatever form that can bully neurodivergent people.
