I’m being oppressed

Still desperately trying to help my friend with rent this month. Please please please reblog if you can and send her anything you can spare. She’s at $200/$700 now, I’m trying so hard to spread this post so she can get the help needed.

Remembering the time my old nb roommate who went to an LGBT law conference and was heaping the absolute biggest bitchfit texting me cause “some cis guy” was talking about trans people and trans men in particular and my roommate refused to listen to what this guy said cause “why should I listen to him” and I said “are you sure he’s cis?” And then towards the end of the presentation he said something that indicated to the crowd he was a trans man and then suddenly my roommate started to consider what had been shared.

Absolute loser behavior, but not completely unique. We’ve all gotta stop saying only x people can talk about x issues for us to listen. Too many people in the in group will have dogshit takes no one wants to challenge because “well, they are x identity.” Likewise, plenty of people on the out group actually know what they’re talking about and have something to contribute to the conversation.

Especially when it comes to sexuality and gender, you relying on someone outing themselves or you clocking them to decide whether their words have merit is shitty, because you won’t always know if they ARE the group “allowed” to talk about it. And even beyond that, I knew a fuckload about transness before I realized I was trans, it helped me REALIZE I was trans. “Listen to x voices” got sooooo warped in the discourse.

[ID: two tweets by Janel Comeau @VeryBadLlama (13 Jun 23):

apparently a lot of cis women need to hear this but a world where our faces, bodies, hair, breasts, clothing and voice are constantly scrutinized as “not feminine enough” is infinitely more dangerous than a world where trans women might also be in the bathroom and need to pee

angry people feeling an obsessive need to look at every inch of my body to decide if some small flaw in my waist proportions or jawline warrants demanding to inspect my ID or genitals does not feel particularly safe to me

i’ve heard a lot of people say “don’t reach out to your friends first and see how many people will remain in your life. those are your true friends” and i get it. it sucks and it’s tiring constantly being the one to message first, to initiate hang outs but don’t take this so literally. some friendships require initiation. i have lost touch with so many people who genuinely cared about me and wanted me in their life because i stopped reaching out. it’s a hard pill to swallow but honestly some people just suck at it and it doesn’t mean they don’t love and value you. i’ve reconnected with some people over the past few months and it’s crazy how genuinely happy they are to see me and how engaged they are in the conversation. i just think sometimes we’re too harsh on each other & too quick to emphasize other peoples flaws and remove them from our lives but then we’ll all be alone and what’s the point of life then!!!!

boys need to be bloody and pathetic more often . they need to be whiny and whimpery and desperate i think.

so sad to me that people will not make fursonas or furry characters in general bc they think being a furry is weird, or requires the money and desire to get a fursuit or something. it’s just a genuinely fun character design and art exercise. There’s so much opportunity for unique creative expression…..you can just make an anthro character pls its fun.
