I really hate having to ask, but I’m desperate. My first post lost traction so I’m starting anew. I have a job but it pays minimum wage and my stepdad has been stealing 50% of each of my paycheck since I was 16, for “rent.” He is physically and verbally abusive and makes my mental illnesses a million times worse. I cannot transition at all while in this house. If I put on makeup or fem clothes he screams how I’m a p*ssy or a f*ggot and threatens to kick me out on the streets. He slaps me around when he gets drunk, which is happening more and more often. I know it’s the holidays, but if someone could help me fund a safe living situation, it would be the best present I ever received. If you cannot donate, please share this post so it can reach people who can.
Our system is probably going to be having a conversation with our doctor about starting T for some of the issues we’ve been dealing with and are like 98% sure we are going to start it and like, our system is a group of nerds and like to be prepared due to both memory issues and just enjoying being over the top.
So Riku was doing some literature reading on HRT, PCOS, general practices, and a lot of the minutia on how things work with T and then like highlighted things from the general practices for me to fill in since I am the part that feels the most raw blunt of the dysphoria and jesus christ
I’ve been writing it for an hour and half and keep having to take time away to stop writing ever so often so I don’t fully spiral into a dysphoria driven breakdown when I am just factually reporting the facts. Our system types at like 60-80 wpm and don’t really need to think when we are writing things down since we write a lot. I’m reaching two hours and we are at like, 1000 words. Like we are at like 1/10th the usual speed of writing cause I keep stopping to try not to barf.
I’m mostly alright, because honestly, this is nothing compared to how badly this has been murdering me for the past like, two months or so - but I really, really don’t have time or space for people that think I should just live like this because of their god or because…. the patriarchy????
Literally you are either a transactivist / ally / supporter / etc, or you are pro fucking suicide. And I’m sorry, but if you are in support of children, teens, adults and people in general killing themselves for things that are relatively easy to manage for any stupid reason, then you are honestly a piece of shit person and really deserve no respect.
since you’re a pussy who won’t let me message you (i dont know why, since you said you’re not scared of me, even if you act like you are) i’m going to answer you here :)

On the topic of that interview that I shared yesterday with those TERFs who were saying they want to ‘reduce the amount of trans people’: one of them shared this on her Twitter too.
Apparently gayness is a social contagion as well now!
And just for clarification: I don’t share these things to upset or anger anyone and if you need to unfollow me over things like this, please do not hesitate to. No hard feelings at all.
I share this because I want people to see how much of TERF ideology is a lie. That they’re calling trans folk homophobes while having homophobes as their most prominent people who they refuse to call out. That homophobia and transphobia are very closely interlinked and you can very rarely separate the two.
This also shows it’s not about “permanent changes to the body” because…a gay relationship doesn’t make a permanent change to anyone’s body. Apparently these kids haven’t dated anyone but even if they had, a teenage girl dating another teenage girl is quite literally harmless. If it turned out they were wrong about their sexuality in the future or whatever, they could just date boys instead.
It’s nonce behaviour to concern yourself with whether a child is straight or not tbqh.
TE"r"f"s were always sexist, misogynistic homophobes. On the other hand, they are a hate group that has long history of collaboration with literal fascists, so where’s the surprise?
Leslie Feinberg on trans exclusion in feminist spaces.
“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”
From TransSisters: The Journal of Transsexual Feminism, issue 7, volume 1. 1995.
Biological sex is not and has never been a binary. The complexity of the natural world cannot be contained in neat little societal boxes. Stop using science to justify your bigotry.

I just found out what TERFs are and I can actually say go to hell. If I find out you’re in the closet, you’re not going to be for long. Welcome to the front line.
If you’re pro life but you don’t adopt and chose to have kids of your own you’re just as bad. What about the orphans?
If your racist hurry up and die already. We don’t need people like this.
If you think disabled or mentally ill peeps need to be weeded out of society, I sincerely hope you get into a vegetative state.
If you romanticize actual killers, I hope one comes into contact with you and you’re traumatized for life.
The fuck is wrong with you people? I have no respect for the people listed above, if you have any comments are concerns I don’t care enough to change my core values and beliefs. These are my final answers, thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
also as a side note, saying ‘sounds terfy’ every time someone says the word misogyny or patriarchy is literally just ceding ground to terfs for no reason. the only people who benefit from the idea that just… talking about feminism in any capacity makes you a terf are 1) the kind of men who materially benefit from women not talking about feminism, and 2) terfs, who would LOVE it if people believed there was no way to talk about feminism without being a bigot
It is wild to me that some people genuinely seem to think the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade is the result of some kind of secret Catholic shadow organization infiltrating the government.
Like, y'all do know that the “pro-life” movement is largely carried by evangelical Protestants, right?
Also, Protestants, particularly evangelicals, are WAY more likely to be anti-abortion than Catholics. Catholics are split almost exactly 50/50, with 48% saying that abortion should be legal in all/most cases and 47% saying it should be illegal in all/most cases. Meanwhile, 63% of evangelicals think abortion should be illegal in all/most cases. Mainline Protestants tend to be pro-choice, with only 35% saying they believe abortion should be illegal in all/most cases. Historically Black Protestants are split down the middle, similar to Catholics, with a slight majority in favor of being pro-choice. (For the record, non-Christian religions in the US all trend towards pro-choice, with Judaism being the most pro-choice at 83%.)
Are trad Catholics who are rabidly anti-abortion (but, to be fair, are a minority within Catholicism) part of the problem? Absolutely. Are Catholic hospitals denying lifesaving treatment to pregnant people because it might endanger an unborn fetus part of the problem? Definitely. But Catholics are not the majority of the anti-abortion movement, and acting like they are lets other denominations avoid responsibility for their part in the problem.
I literally do not care what the Bible says about any political issue. I am not Christian. Christian scripture should have zero effect on my life or my personal freedoms.
Oh btw, if you’re a TERF this post is not for you, it is not about you, and I do not want you to reblog my shit.
The right to be free from holier-than-thou bigots absolutely extends to transgender people, and if you think otherwise I want you to stay the fuck away from my blog.
If you take issue with the government undermining the bodily autonomy of cis people but push for trans bodies to be legislated out of existence, you are 1.) a hypocrite, 2.) scum, and 3.) not welcome on this blog or in any space I’m responsible for.
Seeing terfs demonizing Elliot Page coming out and saying “we lost a lesbian” is an important reminder that terfs target trans men with their rhetoric too. They don’t exclude one group in specific when it comes to trans people, they legitimately think being trans is a danger to everyone involved.
Cis lgbt are encouraged to reblog this.
wtf this is not ok
Hi if you’re a terf you can get the fuck off my blog
Also to the people in the notes saying this is “taking away” from transfem people: Yes terfs target transfem people. No one is saying they don’t. However, terfs don’t JUST target transfem people, TERF stands for “Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist.” Not “Transfem Exclusionary Radical Feminist.” Yes, transfem people do get the brunt of it, but that doesn’t mean terfs never ever target transmasc or nonbinary people. This post never said terfs don’t discriminate against transfem people. It never even said that transfems don’t get the majority of it. This post is about transmasc people and you are hijacking it and saying “But terfs predominantly target transfems!!!” We know. There are plenty of posts about terfs targeting transfems, but God forbid we make one post about transmascs. Jesus. You’re like someone who shows up to a post someone made about a male r*pe victim and says “But women are the ones who are r*ped the most often!” That’s why they made their own damn post about it instead of commenting about male r*pe victims on a post about female r*pe victims. Get it? Fuck. Y'all are exhausting.
As a lot of sewing and costube nerds know, Bernadette Banner just released her book on sewing, a basic guide for sewing and mending based on historical techniques. She has a successful YouTube channel where she teaches these techniques and occasionally features other costubers, experts, etc. Naturally, in writing her book, she’s transferred some of the personal aspects that are part of any YouTube channel’s branding, such as illustrating her work with narratives and introducing the people who are featured in the book.
Because she has used people’s correct pronouns and approached this book in an inclusive way, it seems a group of TERF activists have organized and bombarded the book’s Amazon page with bad reviews, claiming the book has an “agenda” and is “political” by using the preferred pronouns of the people featured. Of course, this is this absurd – YouTube personalities, even those with substantive content who aren’t just influencers, are exactly that? Personalities? So of course there will be personal narratives, and why should someone’s identity be left out of their narrative, especially if the reason they need to tailor a garment is a gender reassignment surgery? I also imagine it may be triggering and difficult, as Banner has an openly non-binary sibling who has also been featured in her videos.
All this to say, you can go to Amazon and report these bigoted reviews or mark them as unhelpful, and if you have a copy of the book and like it, this is a good time to leave a nice review. The book was published less than a month ago, and bad Amazon reviews can tank new publications or push Amazon to force the author to make changes in some cases (though I think only with digital books, but as there’s a kindle edition and we all know that Amazon takes money from authors whose books are returned, I’m hoping these TERFs aren’t buying and returning Kindle editions just to leave shitty reviews). Anyway, it’s important to authors not to get dragged down by a TERF swarm, especially so early after publication. And it’s even more important to keep pushing back and showing TERFs that they can’t keep pulling this shit.
I’m honestly just so tired of their bullshit. Please find a non-destructive outlet for your trauma.
