In My Experience So Far, She/Her/Hers Had It Right When They Wrote That,

Some recent personal work, featuring some future cas with his niece

First name (Theodosia): Closest is “Fictional character”: Found the name bc of Hamilton; My love for Hamilton cooled, but my love for the name didn’t.

Middle name (Katherine): What my parents would’ve named me

Would love to hear more details in tags <3

Sometimes I think about her

I’m eternally grateful for the response I got from a group of my friends I came out to, and I’m certain I’m as grateful -frankly, probably moreso- for the unanimous ‘we completely understand and agree with why you want to keep this private’ that I got than I am for the fact that it didn’t end my friendship with any of them and I was (and am) right to assume they’d accept me.

I think that 2023 is a good time for many of us, and allies in particular, to practice again the dying art of minding our own fucking business when it comes to the identities and lives of other people.

You see someone from one of your classes in a public place with a different gender presentation/expression than they typically have? Mind your own business.

You discover that one of your coworkers is in a same gender relationship, but they aren't out at work? Not your place to share that information in the workplace.

You notice that your neighbor in a red state takes a road trip across state lines with their transgender child every 3-6 months? No you fucking didn't.

You overhear students in your classroom using a different name and different pronouns for one student than you are used to using? If you live in a state hostile to trans rights, pretend that you don't know anything about this and report nothing.

You suspect that an acquaintance of yours might be gay, but they deny it when asked directly? Leave them the fuck alone.

One of your friends refuses to publicly label their sexuality? Good for them, you aren't entitled to that information anyway.

Your sibling comes out to you as questioning, but isn't comfortable sharing that with your parents yet? Keep your fucking mouth shut.

Don't out people; coming out is a personal choice not a moral obligation. Don't demand personal information about other people's sexuality or sex lives. You aren't entitled to information about anyone's gender identity, assigned gender at birth, or transition.

Bring back privacy, allow people to have control over the information that is shared about them publicly; it might save their job, their housing, their parental rights and their child's safety, or even save lives.

HEY!

TRANS BODIES ARE BEAUTIFUL! ALL OF THEM!! YES, EVEN YOURS!! ESPECIALLY YOURS!!!

(Ex-)questioning culture is using self-insert rpgs to explore gender, getting used to your transname being standard fare for games, and then going "aw fuck now I need a new character name" upon realizing you're cis, bc now your transname has started to feel like a deadname (/neu)
