ive been seeing a new wave of transmedicalists lately I think we gotta start being vocal again about how nasty they are. you don't need to take hormones or have surgery to be a trans person. changing your name and pronouns is gender affirming care. wearing new clothes and hair and makeup is part of transitioning too. you dont need to pass to be trans, you don't need to be male or female.

nonbinary, agender, genderfluid, genderqueer people are trans too if that's a label they want to use for themselves. and anyone who says otherwise is a piece of shit. it's not "anti-transitioning" to say so, it's anti-telling other people what to do with their bodies. it's pro-minding your own fucking business and letting people do what they want with their gender and treating them with compassion and enthusiasm

I genuinely believe that the transmedicalist mindset comes from a deep place of insecurity and internalized transphobia, these people hate being trans so much that they get so irritated seeing other people who choose to not comply with the strict gender binary. they think they're experts because they're trans themselves but they don't understand that they have no authority to tell anyone else what they need to do with their bodies. they want to be cis so bad they just parrot transphobic talking points and bully anyone who doesn't fit in. and it's sad because they're trying to cope with the transphobia they face but it's in such a harmful and maladaptive way that just harms other trans people.

You have to recognize your capacity for harm. You cannot omit the harm you've done to others to remain "good." Anybody can be a bigot. Anyone can be an abuser. Anyone can harm anyone at any time even those who have been harmed themselves. The world is not made up of victims and villains only, this is life, not a Saturday morning cartoon and you are a human being who can or maybe even has hurt others and you HAVE to acknowledge that to learn to be better.

it feels like a lot of "progressive" online spaces have really latched onto this ooo boykisser pastel stockings kitty femboy image of GNC men and i have to admit i have concerns about how those spaces would respond to GNC men who either can't or simply don't want to look like that

are these spaces kind and considerate to fat men in skirts? black men with nail polish and lipstick? GNC men with muscles and body hair? gay guys with long hair and beards? GNC trans men who don't want to be "cute"?

this is taking off a little so i'd like to note i deliberately picked these examples so they're not mutually exclusive - there are plenty of GNC black trans bears out there, and for a group of people so influential to gay culture through the drag and ballroom scenes, they feel very underrepresented in these online spaces

Update: North Gaza Aid!

As part of his promise, Hussam sent 20% of your HelpGazaChildren donations ($4000) to Mahmoud AbuSalama for the 5th time now, including the earlier North Gaza Campaign (as location on our notion site) to buy food and necessary products for families still surviving the dire situation in North Gaza. The food package contains, as you see in the picture below: flour, lentils, canned food, formula, diapers, and women pads!

Please continue donating and spreading the word — every penny means so much! Feel free to share our campaign link to other platforms as well!

Donate to our GoFundMe which goes directly to Hussam, who manages camps in Rafah, with NO middleman in between!

[Quick ID: The video is of Mahmoud speaking in front of bags of flour and a tumblr sign. There are captions to the video in english. The image below is of groups of packages of items in front of a tumblr sign.]
