karaddin Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Yeah. It's been a fuck of a week. It's OT for this thread but it's been closed out by Brook and I losing a close friend and it's just all fucked. I'm so angry without any useful direction for it and so fucking sad. And that's before I get into the fear. Derfel Cadarn and felice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People telling us things can't possibly happen that are already happening seems to be a bit of a trend lately. We certainly do know what type of women's orgs they are though. Women orgs who'd align with far-right groups to beat up transfolk. The ideology of Terfs kinda reminds me of an old quote from a racist unionist in the 1800s. ”We’d rather be a slave to capital than a brother to the negro.” TerFs today. ”We’d rather be slaves to the patriarchy, than a sister to a trans.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 And now for something positive: Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas is an absolute joy. It has queer characters and trans characters that are nuanced and joyful and more than just their trauma. It digs into blood families and found families and the joys (and challenges) in both. I'm only about halfway through but I bet I'm going to cry at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Cats Are Bad Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I love all of you (not people in this thread specifically I don't know any of you, but just the transes in general). Sorry about the hippogriff in the room. It is what it is what it's always been. It'll get better. Lots of love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally overwrought happy gay trans teenager cry. So, good cry but also somewhat embarrassing (because I am ancient) but also bittersweet because I was crying for all of the overwrought gay trans teenagers who struggled, and so many of them never got the chance to shine.

Future: Is it wrong to be homophobic? Genuinely curious to see which gay guys prager u will trot out to argue why gay marriage is super bad. I'm betting they'll be a reference gays being executed in Saudi Arabia as a rational for why expecting equal and fair treatmeant under the law in the US is totally unfair--they should be thankful to just not be killed, and be quiet.

Yeah. Still irritating to think about them pretending to care about gay rights--ie reference gays being killed for their sexual orientation--and act asking for anything more than the ability to not be stoned to death is overstepping.

Xray the Enforcer Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) I am heartbroken. Monica Roberts aka TransGriot has passed. Monica is the reason why ANYONE outside of the trans community pays attention to the murder of transgender people in the U.S. Rest in Power Monica. https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-monica-roberts-mission-to-identify-transgender-murder-victims Edited October 8, 2020 by Xray the Enforcer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Cats Are Bad Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Saw my mother sharing a Blair White video on Facebook earlier today. Kinda took some of the spring out of my step if I'm being honest. Although my best friend/future Roomie also booked her last FFS earlier today (had to postpone cause of Covid) so that's pretty cool.

Ah. I mean if this cute trans woman is saying the same things I am, I can’t be that bigoted right? Sorry, I don’t know your mother, I tend to see this as a lot of the reason for any support from the right on a particular individual in lgbtq. This gay guy says straight people are oppressed by non-heterosexuals in a world where there are countries where you can get killed or imprisoned for that. And says being straight is superior So I’m not homophobic when I say the exact same things. Edited October 16, 2020 by Varysblackfyre321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
