What I can tell you as a transgender woman is that occasionally I will read trans woman characters written by cisgender authors. And I can pretty much always tell when the author is cis, even if the character is portrayed respectfully, because they get some details wrong or something. But I certainly don’t think that they shouldn’t be allowed to take a stab at it, and I actually appreciate any representation that isn’t egregiously harmful. And I certainly don’t think that only transgender women should be allowed to write transgender women because then it falls on me,and that’s rather tokenizing, isn’t it?
Also it seems like demanding that only#OwnVoices authors should be allowed to write certain characters is an excellent way to enforce a situation where most books are about cishet white people.
And no: you probably won’t get all of the specific details of someone else’s lived experience correct, in much the same way that most authors don’t get all of the specific details about how, say, nuclear reactorsorspacework. But so long as your character passes as realistically humanand not a one-dimensional caricature of what you think that other types of people are like, then I think that that’s reasonable.
What in the ever loving fuck is wrong with some feminist. Like some “feminists” bost about wanting equality for ALL WOMEN and yet they bully disabled people, laugh at trans women and belittle poor women or women of color. But they brag about being feminists, you’re not a bloody feminist unless you stick up for all women regardless of how they look. This is an inclusive community and if they arent treating all women as equals then they dont stand for any of us and they’re no better than men that belittle women.

With Pride just around the corner and given the abysmal state of the world in recent years I have a couple of thoughts.
My blog is for everyone. Everyone is welcome here. Everyone except those who devalue and dehumanize other people for existing as they are. That being said, if you are any of the following, get the FUCK away from me:
Transphobic
Homophobic
Racist
Sexist
Ageist
Classist
Ableist
Xenophobic
Misogynistic
Someone who says “I hate all men” unironically
A terf
A bully
Someone who thinks they are genuinely better than anyone else for any reason
We’re all human. We all deserve love, support, and empathy. If you cannot offer that to everyone unequivocally, you are not welcome here.
‘my liberation notes is boring and depressing and nothing happens in it’ to YOU, i understand her perfectly
So I just saw this on Twitter. I cannot even begin to explain how this makes me feel. None of these are okay. The only “okay” time to rape someone is never. There ya go. How there are females out there who even said yes to any of those is fucking beyond me. And on the flip side what man would say yes to any of those ? Oh yeah no man would but sick in the head little boy sure the fuck would.
Even if the question had been reversed to the male gender the same answer to all those should’ve been no. Never. It’s never okay to rape anyone.
I’m just amazed at the sheer stupidity the people who participated in this obtain. I mean what the actual fuck were you thinking answering yes? What if your mom or little sister or brother or you or your significant other had been raped but they fell under that category? Would they deserve it then? Because they’d been drinking they deserved it, going by that poll.
The people who said yes to that poll at all need to go reevaluate their lives and then go kindly fuck some common sense in to them selves because THE ONLY OKAY TIME TO RAPE SOMEONE IS NEVER!!!!
Rant over.

Whoever snitched to my very religious aunt about my instagram….. yA MOMS A HOE
Fellow trans people I know it feels like everyone can tell you’re trans but so many cis people have fucking blinders on and will not perceive the openly trans person starting and responding to hormones in real time while working with you. Like I’m wearing my pronoun pin every day and twice now people have started talking about the strange and mysterious phenomenon of People Who Change Genders while I’m standing right there and I’m like “I’m right here” and they’re like “what? We’re not talking about you” and then when you reveal that you’re trans they react with absurdly overdramatic shock that 1. A trans person exists In The Real World, In Their Place Of Work and 2. They have been interacting with this person as if they were a normal human being this whole time!!! You were TRANS?????
i envy those who experience stable set of emotions. like, bro, how????
I hate all the people who are against a certain ship. I get it, you aren’t a fan. But, that does not mean that you have to shit on something that makes two people happy. You are not them. In fact, you play a very inconsequential part in their lives. You have no say in who they date or hang out with, so shut up.
I wish everybody and they mom would stop trying to be a sugar baby. Y'all hoes suck at it and try to do NO research at all to become one. LEARN HOW TO BE INDEPENDENT then try to BE A HOE. (this also goes for aspiring escorts and strippers who have no clue how to hoe whatsoever.) *RANT DONE*
Not to be mean but ^^^
Y’all don’t screen(wow just wow), can’t dress, and don’t even bother to do any research about what should be done before going out with these men. I studied for months, almost a year, before I went on my first date and yet all I see are girls risking their lives going on dates with strangers who they know absolutely nothing about besides what he lied about in his bio on whatever site you met him on. It’s not hard y’all are just lazy and it’ll bite y’all in the ass.
