Drag yr fckin with the status quo and I love that for drag. We do not need to cling to our comfort zone with regards to social constructs and asserting one’s autonomy is never policing others – regardless of how indignant those who are have become accustomed to policing tran’s people’s expression may loudly take difference.

Ive seen most all of Andrewisms entries to this.

Indeed, Trans Kids are Deserving of the Choice to avert a puberty they Clearly Do. Not. Want.

Anything else is heirarchal domination and authoritarian violence; and speaking firsthand as a person who got to her late 20’s b4 realizing she was in denial: is deeply traumatizing.

The good news is therapy works. The bad news is “To con someone is easy, you need only to pull one over on their intelect. To convince that same person they’ve been conned is much harder: you have to overcome their ego.”

Thanks, the added context makes sense of it.

Woulda thought you were a transphobe had i not checked your post history…(not that trans folks cant be transphobic…so…) what do you mean by this?

Who?

Scratch a TERF, find a nazi.

Nazis/Fash will appropriate everything.

So hey, good for the author if it works for them, but for me? Fuck that. I claim dyke, proudly. I go to the Dyke March. Dykey Dicked Sappho Pantastic Lesbo with a brick in her hand and the knowledge that if you’re queer (and open/honest) long enough, all the binaries boil off. Even ABCD has it’s (granted, extremely rare) exceptions.

I get where they’re going, but ultimately this just boils down to, on a communal level “Labels work for people who like them, dont force them on people who don’t identify with them.” and on a personal level “Dont be reclkless with other people’s hearts, dont put up with people who are reckless with your heart.”

You define you. You will be limited and framed into boxes, but in truth your heart, intentions and identity are yours to explore, to show and be known. Dont put up with those who would seek to control that.

The bigotry, disinformation and fear-propaganda moral panics, too, will pass. It sucks to have to fight just to exist, but it’s a life worth living, so spend more time happily. 👭🏝
