6 months ago I set out to write a history of gender dysphoria, a concept I think many trans people use, but lack context for. This grew into a much grander investigation of trans womanhood as a form of madness. It would mean a lot to me if you read it.

From a gay man held as a teen in a mental institution, 1962-4: "I remember this one doctor who was talking about homosexuality. And he said, well, there is a normal homosexual period between 8 and 12 and beyond that it's abnormal. So I piped up and said 'Is that a.m. or p.m.?'"

A lot of trans people avoid transphobia or just deal with longterm feelings of dysphoria by not going outside, something I don't think is talked about enough. Discouragement from public life is an effect of discrimination that is hidden because it is not open bigotry.

I am one of the many brave trans women proving bigots wrong by being worse than cis women at sports

streets queens are a far cry from many queens today. but it seems queens still can't live down the "street" history that their intervention on behalf of children was often a sign of parental negligence. parents continue to project their own abuses onto queens

One of the ways being trans is a blessing is that I often hear cis people talking about how their prime was their 20s, college, even high school, but for me every day I get older I feel more and more alive, awake, attractive, wanting to be here.

the funniest part of transphobia for me is the desperate rebrand of the far right as the heroic defender of cisgender tomboys and effeminate homosexuals everywhere

First HRT is very "I can't believe I'm finally alive" and then second year HRT is very "I can't believe how much healing I have to do."

Witch discourse is very cis. I am literally a shapeshifter who injects mysterious liquid into herself and is actively reviled by all the world's major religions.
