My mom gasped and said "I KNEW IT! We always bickered like a mother and daughter while you were growing up! And i always wanted a daughter ๐ฅน"
Elon is just a trash parent
My Ph.D advisor waited so long to publish my thesis paper that I completed my legal transition and will get published as "Autumn" instead of my deadname :3
Did every trans girl go thru a period of childhood where you were *convinced* you wanted to be a paleontologist because dinosaurs?
I'm trying to see something
Entitled old boomer lady on the train pulls one of my headphones off as I'm in a 1:1 meeting with my boss: "Hey, I'm trying to read, can you try to talk more quietly?"
Me: *talking barely above a whisper just so my Bluetooth headphones pick up my voice* "I'm in a meeting ma'am"
If you don't think you're trans because
I wouldn't be a pretty girl. I'm too tall. I have too much body hair. My feet are too big. My shoulders are too broad. My nose is too big and my face would never look pretty
Oh sweety...I thought the same thing ๐ซ
Those aren't cis thoughts

1970's feminism: "We are not defined by our biology! Liberation from the patriarchy!"
2020's TERF feminism: "Actually, we ARE defined by our biology! Reinforce the patriarchy!"

When I would read occupational health papers I learned several companies study how many hours of a repeat motion will cause a shoulder or knee injury etc. They hire hourly, part-timers or contractors who get no insurance and end their contract right at the cusp of hours to injury
I proceed to ignore her
She goes back to her seat and proceeds to blast pop country music at full volume from her phone after asking *me* to keep it down...
The entitlement of old white cis women I stg...
She was mumbling and complaining about not understanding anything I was saying in my meeting. Cool. Eavesdrop on a convo you can understand then???
I'm not the only person in this car on the phone even like wtf mind your business
Her: "well that camera isn't pointed at me is it?"
Me: *clearly using my selfie camera for my work meeting* "yes, ma'am, please. I'm in a meeting"
Her: "are you at least using headphones?"
As Her hand is literally pulling my headphones away from one ear....
Me: "Uh...yes?!"

3 autistic trans girls sharing a bathroom: "No, I can't use your toothpaste. I have my own special kind of toothpaste I use"

Pinged my HR rep to ask in the future if I'm allowed to stand up for myself when being misgendered and disrespected by a customer.
Time to find out if this company has my back. Or not.
Girls in first year of HRT:
Are you worried about your feet being too big?
I recommend going bowling at least once a month :3
As HRT makes your feet shrink, it's a great place to try on shoe sizes and track your shoe size changing over time!
Oh nooo girl noooo
Cishet girl around the hospital complimented me on my hair and said she'd love to dye hers a fun color if her wedding wasn't coming up, and her soon-to-be-husband and parents would all be upset with her.
Girl! throw the whole family away and start over!
I'm sorry but if your reaction to a trans person younger than you saying "it's never too late to transition" is anger, frustration, and wanting to lash out?
Maybe you need to think about why you're reacting that way and why you're venting that anger on a younger trans person
I'm 32 and been on HRT for ~1.75 years
The past 2 years have been the best of my life. I've struggled and yearned and manifested a life I found worth living๐ฅ
Parts of Boston Children's Hospital
@BostonChildrens
have been evacuated due to a security threat (once again)
Not clear the nature of the threat, and/or whether this is related to prior bomb threats and other security issues
Ugh - enough is enough....
This is a dumbass take from a dumbass person that should not be allowed near the internet or other people.
Late transitioners have to go through hell struggling to figure themselves out among bigots. You do NOT get to invalidate them.
