i am FULLY against the sentiment that we don’t owe anybody anything. we owe people common decency. we owe people respect if it has been given to us. we owe people apologies & explanations when we hurt them. i don’t care.

Can't express how stress free being open minded is.
Some lesbians use he/him? Oh cool.
Some people have people inside their head and sometimes it's fictional chars? Sick your brains like a pirate ship they're all working to run.
Some people like being treated like a pet dog? Bark bark bro.
Being fat isn't unhealthy but a perfectly normal type of body to have? Kinda beautiful how different we can all be.
Something doesn't make any fucking sense? Cool an opportunity to learn. And even if I can't figure it out it's cool we still have mysteries today.
Just for the record this is a real problem I'm having. What does one do with a possibly cursed mystery door in the blackberry patch. Besides ignore it and keep eating blackberries...
they’re similar but not the same
☆ sent out the last of the preorder books today, never in one william years did i expect that many people to care about my strange little angel story thank u thank u thank u all a thousand times—here’s the brother sisters in celebration, here’s to many more <3
A cis woman tells me that maybe she should transition to gain male privilege as I'm recovering from getting beaten up in the men's bathrooms.
I tell her to be my guest and give me a call when she gets her jaw broken, I always carry a first aid kit and a pepper spray.
She calls me a misogynistic asshole.
A cis man tells me that he'd sure love some T.
Gave him my prescription and best of luck with the constant shortages and getting denied.
He calls me a pussy.
I'm fighting for my life and reproductive rights. I get told to get off women's fights, that it's not about me, like I shed my womb after my first T shot.
I search for support groups for SA victims, and I'm stuck in the same “women/NBs only”. Still shooting my shot, send an application. I introduce myself. Never get a call back.
I go to a trans night. Say I go by he/him. Get told back “yeah, that's how we all start !” by a trans woman. I'm too exhausted, I get up and I leave.
I hang out with my friends, one of them drunkenly says masculinity is a prison we must learn to escape. She gets rows of applause. Back to drinking alone.
Yes I could explain it. But who'd you rather be ? A delusional girl or a man made threat ?Or it could be better, I could just not exist ! And we'd bleach my corpse and I'd become a casualty. Not an F, ot an M, a W for Wound and for Wrong.
I put a candle on a single cupcake, 2 years on HRT. I blow it in the dark. Curtains closed like casket.
For your future information, here are medical innovations younger than both the basics of HRT for trans ppl & the first gender-reassignment/gender-confirmation surgery. I put together this incomplete list earlier today bc I was bored:
all organ transplants
most modern vaccines, including the polio vaccine
the gluten-free diet as a treatment for celiac disease
synthetic insulin
oral contraceptives
MRIs
the concept of a "blood bank"
pacemakers
hydrocortisone
ibuprofen
diazepam
artificial hearts
sumatriptan
naproxen (Aleve)
tramodol
dialysis
ECT
ondansetron (Zofran)
chemotherapy
IVF
CPR
CT scans
transdermal patches
liposuction
intravascular stents
penicillin
In case you run into someone talking about how 'experimental' HRT is.
for whoever needs to hear this:
starting HRT doesn't have to be a huge momentous all-or-nothing decision. you can just try it like you would an antidepressant you've been informed of the risks of.
there won't be any immediate irreversible changes overnight. you can always stop, change your dose, change your delivery system, decide it's not the right time. you can even microdose if you want to.
you don't have to tell anyone. you don't have to announce it if you don't want to.
stop waiting for a perfect time in your life because it won't come.
stop waiting to reach a mythical level of certainty that never comes to anyone, for anything.
you've been thinking about it long enough. if you have the opportunity, just give it a shot. you're worth the courage it takes to make a change in your life.
You shouldn’t have to be trans to get any sex characteristic-related surgery. It’s not a limited resource. Plenty of cis men get implants and cis women get breast reductions. From Colby Gordon today and Leslie Feinberg in Transgender Warriors (1996).

my final John for today thank you
hi! on a reblog you said that the person who would be in charge of the “autism registry” has experimented on autistic children and chemically sterilized them, do you have a source or anything for that?
I’m not doubting you, I’m just having trouble finding that info on my own. thank you!
I do! (Also I know I go on kind of a rant but none of the upsetness is aimed at you I’m just pissed he was even allowed within 100 meters of an autistic kid):
His name is David Geier and his dad’s is Mark Geier for context.
Here is the link to the official case against him from the Maryland board of physicians as well as another from ASAN, not all of it is experiments but you can see how he and his fake autism company wrote down false conditions so he could gain access to more blood tests, would just say “the cause of this autism was obviously too much testosterone! I can tell by just looking at them! we must put [insert child’s name] on Lupron and five other medications”!He literally just did random tests, said they “obviously had Mercury poisoning from vaccines” or “were obviously having hormonal issues” and then gave them random medications. As I mentioned specifically Lupron, which is a cancer and fibroids treatment drug that severely limits testosterone and estrogen production. Also, all the kids were bellow 14 (as far as I saw) with one being as young as one and a half.
If giving autistic children cancer medicine because you “think” they have mercury poisoning/“too much testosterone” and falsely diagnosing them with other medical conditions just so labs will do more tests for your own curiosity isnt experimentation I don’t know what is. Oh and being charged with purposely endangering children’s health and practicing medicine without a license.

And here is an article which near the bottom summarizes how his “autism labratory” was in his basement and how he told parents he was giving their children “approved autism treatment” when he was giving them cancer meds instead.
people have invented so many different ways of rephrasing "don't transition" to sound plausibly progressive enough to bystanders that they'll think trans people are over-dramatic for reacting negatively to it.
medical transition is permanent so you should really consider it thoroughly and put off trying it unless you know for sure. yes, just keep second guessing yourself. 6 months, 3 years, 20 years...
you might not like how you look. other people might not like how you look. you might not look cis. don't you want to be desirable? do you want to risk feeling worse and more insecure? you look so good now! we think you're so hot right now, and you wouldn't want to change your body and make it not hot to us, right?
you are so valid if you don't transition. you don't need to transition. no one needs to transition. it's just cosmetic, it's just aesthetic, it's all optional and means nothing at all. (no, of course this is unrelated to arguments used for insurance not covering transition, or doctors denying care.)
why do you even want to transition? are you trying to look cis? are you trying to adhere to beauty standards? are you doing this to look hot? that's regressive and outdated and assimilationist. (if you want us to take your politics seriously, you shouldn't transition)
it's a waste of resources/privileged/bourgeois to transition. it's kind of morally suspect that you would transition and still ask for help ever in your life. why should we support someone who's transitioning if they're obviously not oppressed anyway.
DIY HRT is too dangerous. you could hurt your body. you could get arrested. your life will probably end if you take HRT. if you can't access HRT legally, you just shouldn't take it. not for transphobic reasons!! just for your own sake <3
like when will it end
Not to mention the fact that the person he put in charge of the autism registry not only doesn’t have a medical license, but also literally experimented on autistic kids. He chemically sterilized them and said he was “curing them” by giving Lupron, a cancer medication. He did “holistic” injections, blood tests, etc. Also, not shocking, but in his own home. He operated under his dad’s license, despite his dad having his medical license pulled in 11 states for the same thing! This isn’t even a fog horn, we are just there. The warning time is over, now it’s actually happening.
Anti-vaxxer extremist RFK Jr, the US Health Secretary, is now actively trying to collect medical records of folks on the autism spectrum. First, he used dehumanizing and infantilizating language to insist people with autism won't 'pay taxes and live a 'normal life' which we all know is ableist bullshit and is literally a precursor to genocide. This man is a monster.

"...a person without sensuality ... the author has the courage to admit to this category."
Emma Trosse, German sexuality researcher, 1897
Teacher, diabetes clinician and sexuality researcher Emma Trosse wrote these words in 1897, becoming one of our earliest examples of someone self-identifying as what we would today call asexual.
We had a great time learning about Emma and so much more a-spec history on our podcast with Luciella Scarlett last week. Check it out!
perisex people waxing poetic about how anti-trans laws could theoretically affect intersex people is so pointless. they don't have to. what do you think is stopping people from abusing intersex people now? backlash from the general public who thinks it's appropriate to call intersex people hermaphrodites? the laws in the vast majority of countries that don't even consider intersex people a protected class, let alone have made any kind of intersexist abuse illegal?
whatever you think could happen to intersex people is already happening to absolutely no pushback from perisex people. we're medically raped, murdered, castrated, and selectively aborted. we face among if not outright the highest rates of sexual assault, conversion therapy, suicidality and homelessness in the queer community. stop sitting on your ass and waiting for the news of all things to tell you to give a shit. how many intersex people have to die before perisex people think it's important enough to start paying attention?
internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing
Searched #HRT to learn more about the testosterone gel recall and the first thing I see is this fucking horse again

The Horse Race Test fandom is dying reblog if you love HRT

Does anyone know any alternate names to Dahlia piercings that isn’t joker piercings? I wanna get some and I also think the call for a name change is extremely valid, but I also don’t want to go around like:
