Thank you all for the prayers and positive vibes! We got everything done and we have our baby boy! He’s currently still in the hospital! Hopefully we get him home soon.
[clutches my pearls]Trans people in 1921?!??! But I thought trans people were trendof today’s youth!
I’d like to add my great great aunt Flora!
Y'all wanna know why we don’t see or hear about trans people from that era?
That’s because that picture was taken at what is known in its native language as Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, it is the place where the first trans healthcare was developed, where the term transsexual was coined.
Do you want to know what happened to the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft?
It was the victim of the very first Nazi book burning. Their teachings were outlawed and their books destroyed. Their leaders - such as Magnus Hirschfeld - were criminalized and exiled, if not outright murdered.
The fascists exterminated not just a generation of trans people, but they erased our history from the books almost entirely. It took us almost a century to get back to where we are now.
We’ve always been here, but our future is not guaranteed. We have to fight for our survival, because it’s happening again.
Remember that people who aren’t women also need and want abortions. Include and protect trans and intersex people in this conversation. Keep watch for terf rhetoric and dogwhistles. Terfs will use this as ammunition.
And when we push for gender-inclusive language in legal and healthcare contexts, it’s not just because being called the wrong word makes us feel bad. If the language of a healthcare law or regulation uses specifically gendered language, that creates a loophole that can be used to deny trans people coverage. Ask any trans man who’s had to try and find gynecological care, or any trans woman who has ever needed a prostate exam. Yes, it is difficult and often humiliating to be called the wrong words, but what we’re mostly worried about is losing our access to the healthcare we need alltogether.
so i am very obviously her first enby client because when i came out to her as non-binary, she asked me to forgive her for her not knowing what it was and if i didn’t mind explaining what that meant, which i happily did
that was several sessions ago - like about a month and a half now.
and here are some things she has done so far for me as a client since coming out (which blows me away tbh because remember SHE’S FUCKING 69 so if she’s getting it then i don’t want to hear the BS excuse that i hear from some people of ‘well people of that generation are too old so they just can’t understand’ NO THEY ABSOLUTELY CANsome of them just DON’T):
- she didn’t want to take up session space by me explaining for too long what being non-binary was, and told me she could educate herself after session, and instead asked how my experience was and if i was getting the proper support i needed in that experience
- came back after educating herself with like jafieowjfoeiwf FIVE different websites of online support groups just in case i needed them or felt too awkward going in person
- has corrected herself every time she’s accidentally referred to me as 'she,’ 'her,’ 'girl’ etc., which is one of the biggest things i am always told: 'old people can’t learn that’ LIKE SHUT UP TALK TO MY THERAPIST ABOUT IT THEY OBVIOUSLY CAN
- HAS MADE UP A LISTOFALTERNATIVE FILLER-NAMES TO USE INSTEAD OF LIKE’GIRL,’ 'GIRLFRIEND,’ ETC. (you know, like when you would say to someone who identifies as female, 'right on girlfriend’) YEAH WELL SHE HAS COME UP WITH HER OWN (some of these are: 'pal-friend,’ sometimes simply - 'friend’ MY HEART GUYS)
she’s just like. all around wonderful and i’m very grateful for her. i could go on forever but bless you, [redacted], you’re a wonderful therapist and i’m grateful for you
Happy International Asexuality Day! Never mess with a fellow asexual, we got ACE in our sleeves and our powers goes beyond your imagination. For the government we don’t exist and some thinks we’re are alien, but for me we will always be as VALID AS HELL!
Quick reminder! Both the First and the Dark Edition of the Pride Deck have been now reprinted with USPPC with higher paper quality!
Now they’re suitable for both magic tricks and cardistry! This is to all my new followers and the older ones from my 2020 Kickstarter who might have not seen the update on the new product description ;)
Let’s take this day to celebrate all the transgender community and the people you might know who are trans. Take this day to inform ourself a little more the issues that still exist in our society that we need to adress in order to make this world a better and safer place to all transgender folks out there. They absolutely deserve it Today is a day to celebrate who you are, whether you are out or not, whether you haven’t started your transition or are already fully transitioned, whether what you like or wear isn’t socially or culturally related to your gender, you are extremely valid and should only feel proud of the journey you took so far to become who you truly are.
