falin you are the gentlest creature that ever existed

"misgendering a cis person is just as bad as misgendering a trans person" is truly disconnected from reality. misgendering isn't just something that hurts people's feelings lol it is an implicit threat of personal or societal misogynistic/transmisogynistic gendered violence

nobody has ever been subjected to conversion therapy or corrective rape because they were cis

i have literally no idea how i never saw one of these before. but its okay if no one else does i'll be here to deliver

The Far Side for Monday May 13.

A lot of sentiments I see online about "just standing up for yourself" fall apart when considering that a common consequence of "standing up for yourself" is losing a key part of your current support network. It's hard to tell someone to stop being transphobic to you when you carpool with them to work, and it'll get a lot more expensive without them. Can your budget tolerate that cost, or is it the expense that stretches you too far? It's hard to tell someone that they need to be more polite to you when they're the one who helps walk you through legalese. Can you find someone else to do it for you, or are you left floundering? It's hard to tell someone to stop being sexist to you when they're the one writing your reference letter. Do you have someone else who can be your reference, or are they the only one whose letter would be accepted?

In order to be able to stand up for yourself, you need to be able to bear the potential consequence of that person leaving. You need to either have redundancy in your network, or be able to pay for what they did for you. Safety is about more than if someone will hit you.

real talk anon i hope someday you learn to hate your sisters less but for now enjoy that closet o7

"it's just wrong to speculate on somebody's gender identity" yeah ok! so why don't we direct all that energy towards the cisnormative patriarchy we all live under that does much more that speculate on somebody's gender - it violently and forcefully assigns us all a gender (and thus a rigid position in all parts of society) at birth - instead of at the very people who have fought tooth and nail to have the right to exist and live outside that violent assignment.

or we can just keep calling transfems conversion therapists, sure!

if your supportive cishet ally friend would be "extremely offended" if you implied he's lgbt that's not a cishet ally lol that's chadley from alpha kappa delta

True freedom.

Very true but why does this jpeg look like the fever dream of a dying man

I don't think people get how BIG chimera falin really is. Like she could give her whole party joy rides on her back.

twerfs in 2014: “trans women should stop complaining about suffering transphobic discrimination in their romantic/sexual relationships. sex and relationships are not human rights.”
