i think people who tell me to “just pay off your credit card every time you get a statement” are truly and seriously so displaced from where i personally am financially and it feels like the advice is a baseball being thrown past me as hard as possible
omg did not expect to see “we have mainstream research evidence for transmisogyny now” this morning but happy friday?? thanks dr. devon price for pre-digesting it
and of course there’s the angle of, well lmfao yes trans women have been saying this in mainstream print since at least 2007 and doubtlessly in other fora for much longer, but sometimes an argument from authority has more force and how do we emotionally reckon with ongoing lack of agency in conversations about us, but i digressss
"Why are you still on tumblr, it's a dead site" Tumblr is the ONLY site that still works in the way of -Follow this person, see their posts- instead of -you stopped scrolling and stayed on this post for .2 seconds longer than others, here's 100 more posts like it- I hate algorithms.

i swear to god if i see one more tme trans person go on a transmisogyny-fuelled rant about how “all the diy hrt resources are about getting estrogen and progesterone and there’s nothing about how to obtain testosterone!” i am going to scream.
guys. posting about how to obtain testosterone publicly online is against most websites’ terms of service. posting about how to obtain estrogen and progesterone is not. please think for just a second and remember that transfems are not going to risk their access to websites or their online presences (and their ability to help other trans people, including you, btw), nor should they be expected to.
what you need to do is:
go to reddit.com and make an account (or maybe a burner account) if you don’t already have one.
you’re going to join the subreddit transdiy (r/transdiy) and you’re going to either make a post using the “hrt trans masc” flair (like a tag for a blog post) and someone will reach out to you.
and make sure you are following the community rules before posting!
or you can search for the posts already under the “hrt trans masc” flair:
and leave a comment asking someone who has already offered help for them to dm you, like this:
everyone is struggling right now. i get that. but if you think it’s worth it to seek diy testosterone resources, then you’re going to also need to understand that it’s something worth being patient for.
make a cohost account, make a blue skies account, make a pillow fort account, make a artfol account, share your discord, make a back-up account, make another account, make another account, make another account-
constantly switching between “this is MY tumblr and i post whatever i want” and “oghg god . oh my god. okh god. okay. im going to talk abt. an interest now. im so sorry.”
i don't care how uncomfortable you are around cis men, queer cis men still need places to go, and sometimes, those spaces will be shared with yours. disabled and neurodivergent queer men and queer men of color especially need a place to go. the queer community isn't the "fuck cis men" community. that is the rad fem community. if you think cis men and people who read as cis men are inherently "too scary" or shouldn't be allowed in queer spaces, you joined the wrong community.
additionally: hi, trans woman here. who gets called a cis man by the queers around me pretty consistently. literally no matter what im wearing or doing or what my makeup, nails, clothes look like. trans girls will come up to me and compliment my partner for having such a gnc cis boyfriend. just wanted to say: well i cant say that but im gonna say: dont do this shit.
also it becomes real fucking clear after a while of this that its not even "cis men bad" in their heads, its "anyone im not attracted to is bad" and theyre only attracted to skinny white femme. cis men bad is just a "progressive" label for pushing white supremacist ideals.
not to fucking mention how "cis men bad" forces trans men who could be mistaken for cis to disclose their trans identity. which a cis guy could just lie about anyway so like. whats the end game here are we gonna start doing genital checks or can we all just settle the fuck down and believe that if somebody showed up to the queer event they prolly belong there and its none of our fucking business why
okay last thing, sorta unrelated, but if u never dated a woman with a beard then i think ur a loser and beneath contempt. okay i love you byyyyye
thank you so much for this addition- this is exactly what i was implying when i said that people who "read" as cis men also need safe spaces to go and should never have to disclose their trans or cis status in order to be able to find safety. this mentality disproportionately affects trans women and trans men. this affects trans people way more than it does cis people- people project their idea of what a cis man "looks like" on to whoever they want to without discretion. you summed it up perfectly. thank you
Our first victory against trump!
Time to start celebrating ALL the small wins, because EVERY win means a lot, and every win helps us fight for the next one!
this can’t be real
He put them together at the kids table that doesn’t exist I’m fucking crying
its easy to make fun of this (and i think we should) but its also important to note the description of this new department that trump has given
[transcript: "together, these two wonderful americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies - essential to the 'save america' movement," trump wrote. "i look forward to elon and vivek making changes to the federal bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all americans."]
to be clear: trump is planning to create a new department whose purpose is literally to deregulate and defund government oversight. this will lead to corporations having greater freedom to fuck over consumers while making more money, and he is putting two billionaires in charge of it.
sure, maybe this is just a ploy to keep them quiet. giving them the illusion of power in exchange for backing him. but lets not forget all the regulations trump cut during his last term
which has directly led to the constant recalls of consumer goods and foodstuffs over the past several years. the recent e coli outbreak at mcdonalds? the boars head listeria recall? these are the products of deregulation. getting rid of laws and standards that protect consumers by making sure money hungry corporations dont cut corners.
the funny name is a smokescreen. keep your eye on these fuckers.

For those who can spare it.
I block liberally, if you're gonna waste our time and be an ass about me being poor/disabled/discriminated against
Just to be clear:
I have every right to be angry, disappointed, and bitter
I'm ignored because I'm displaying normal ass emotions under a really fucked up situation
And most people are mad that I'm disabled and discriminated against
Or that I'd even deign to be angry about the lack responses
Because I'm brown, trans, queer, and disabled
Hey. Maybe instead of trying to make someone feel worse or ignoring them you could be decent people and actually help
(directed specifically at the people who have money and don't want to help)

Please reblog and spread the word
what's so striking to me about younger queer generations rn isn't the lack of knowledge about queer history, but the complete unwillingness to engage with it, when confronted with an identity or history they haven't heard of before they react with disgust rather than curiosity. (for example) instead of asking where the leather pride flag came from and what the leather community is and represents they immediately question the need for something like that to exist, not even willing to listen and learn from both elders and peers. this is also more broadly a problem in leftist spaces in general, being reactionary is somehow the default now, and anything that's different or unknown must be an attack and bad. really hoping y'all manage to grow out of this deeply conservative way of interacting with the world.
