Experiencing this right now. I’m choosing to medically transition but honestly if they give even the slightest pushback I might stop. I’m so scared of losing them but I know that if I wait longer I’ll be suffering.
Being trans with unsupportive parents is such an interesting experience. When you eventually do move out you have to make the decision, do I medically transition and finally be myself even though my parents will hate me or do I stay closeted just out of fear of losing family?
Part of the reason I'm so adamant about encouraging people to get comfortable with bugs, my own interests aside, is because we cannot have a bright, solarpunk future without them.
A green future is not a bugless future. It is, in fact, a fairly bugful future. If you care about ecological stability, then you need to start with bugs, because they're the most at risk with our current use of pesticides.
THE CHAFF PROJECT
Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great!
How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public.
Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.
In practice: the goal is to make it DIFFICULT to identify trans people to target with bathroom bans, and to create many FALSE POSITIVES for businesses.
Basically, you might get accused of being trans and kicked out, because of the badge. You say: I wear the badge because trans rights matter.
You follow up with a letter to the business saying you're fucking furious because some nosy dipshit just tried to play fucking genital police with you in the loos. You know lots of trans people (don't name any, if you do) and you wear the pin in support and you're disgusted at them for allowing this.
Blame the business for allowing the behaviour.
Businesses see that their cis customers are getting bothered over a badge and may clarify trans-inclusive policies, so they can kick out the bathroom botherers instead of nice cis allies.
You only need to buy and wear the badge, and you are protecting trans people. You can be genuinely heroic. Even one cis person doing this helps, and everyone you get to join in helps even more.

Hello to goths and idiots only
Starting to notice that a lot of people complaining about lack of community around them are the same ones that talk of wanting baby-free airlines and other public areas, complain about houseless people, shame single mothers, and similar. Y’all are all for community until you actually have to help people or withstand a small inconvenience.
(Also just to clarify, not calling houseless people or single moms an inconvenience, the “inconvenience”is referring to hearing children crying/screaming/running in public areas)
me and my bf were talking about fluttershy probably being terrible at smoking weed and that evolved into the idea of pinkie pie giving her the worst high in her life
