Everything about the Try Guys SNL sketch is gross but making a gay actor mock another gay man’s very real moment of pain and anger in the most homophobic way possible is fucking despicable
Imagine this Will Stephen guy writing a skit to cover for his buddy Ned Fulmer from Yale thinking that info was as safe as Brett Kavanaugh's calendar or as secret as making out with your mistress in public at a Harry Styles concert.

i'm not mad at jameela jamil, she obviously feels embarrassed and she's over compensating, it's just so representative of how cis "allies" act when they misgender someone, its text book, every trans person has heard every excuse she's making rn a thousand times
OFMD is really interesting because for straight people its an absurd show about gay pirates, but for gay people its a pretty realistic and thoughtful representation of our lived experiences except they're on a boat
Hey cis people you know how excited y'all get when a loved one tells you they're pregnant? Thats the same energy you need to bring when a trans person tells you they are getting surgery or starting hormones.
I only hang out with trans people cause when cis people look at my dumb mascara mustache they cringe but when my trans friends see it they act like they’ve met god
I’m okay with transphobes self identifying as Super Straight:
1. We stay safe knowing exactly who is transphobic because they have that shit in their bios now
2. No human (cis or trans) will ever go out with someone who identifies as “super straight”
3. This is their flag 🤭🤢
i've gotten misgendered seconds after telling someone my pronouns, i've had pronoun pins on my chest at trans pride events and gotten misgendered to my face, i have friends who have their pronouns tattooed on their neck and they still get misgendered
trans people are constantly getting misgendered and we are constantly fielding the cis guilt that comes with it, jameela is far from the first or last cis person to make these excuses and attempt to blame us for their "mistake"
the frustrating thing is misgendering a trans person isn't a "mistake" to trans people, its hurtful and dehumanizing, and its exhausting to field cis people's guilt when we're the ones being hurt
So endlessly angry that I just had pink hair and cleavage and everyone called me crazy and harassed me off the internet then I came back with brown hair and a binder and you respected my opinions
You wanna help the trans community? Stop complaining about neopronouns and who gets what slurs. Donate to someone’s surgery fund. Buy things from queer businesses. Protest in the streets while they legislate our lives away. Gatekeeping never bought us a second of liberation.
its just so fucking hard to access HRT that it blows my mind how (some) detransitioners claim it was the medical system's fault for "forcing" them on hormones like in what world
Arielle said she's never seen an older nonbinary person...
So, I made her a list of nonbinary people that are older than her:
Jeffrey Marsh
Courtney Act
Ruth Baldacchino
Megan Rohrer
Judith Butler
Lann Hornscheidt
Joey Soloway
Joanne Vannicola
sj Miller
Meg-John Barker
its so weird that there are queer people whos first reaction to identity labels they don't understand is anger and rejection.. like thats the exact reaction we've been running from our entire lives and you're going to project it on to another queer person??? jfc
as much as i like to clown on older trans dudes with hella internalized transphobia, i do genuinely feel bad for them having to navigate such a transphobic society for so long and i really think a lot of their hatred for the younger/newer trans ideology comes from resentment
trans men will never have cis male privilege no matter how well they pass as cis, and to suggest such a thing is just ignorant and dismissive of the transmasc experience 🧵
we have to stop talking shit about transition surgeries we don't want, its okay to not want a surgery but you don't have to insult people who do want it or have it
transmascs lost their reproductive rights AND access to transition care in one day, and all we're asking for is gender neutral language in the abortion conversation and you can't even do that much for us
My response to getting misgendered is going nonverbal and leaving as soon as humanly possible because bitches like you get mad when we advocate for ourselves in any way
testosterone is a reoccurring prescription medication, you have to talk to a doctor to get it refilled, and you consciously administer it to yourself every week, if you're 21 years old you're no longer a teenager being "forced" on t, you're an adult that hates trans people
I hope that conservatives' continued blatant hatred directed at Elliot Page dispels this transmed idea that trans men can achieve acceptance by passing and good optics
Hey trans people if you don’t want to hear about all the anti-trans legislation you don’t have to. You can keep scrolling. Don’t feel guilty, don’t feel obligated to stay informed, sometimes it’s just too hard to hear how much the world is trying to erase you.
transmedicalism is like a hydra, fight one grifter with your engagement, two more will take their place, the only way to stop transmedicalism is to cauterize the neck by not engaging with them at all
Imagine the emotional distress you have to be under to see a tboy mustache and think it’s a negative side effect of testosterone instead of the most beautiful thing in the world
Aw yes so it’s okay to make fun of the “t-voice” and bully people for having it that’s not transphobic, but calling the t-voice sexy is fetishization and extremely transphobic. Make it make sense.
Imma be so honest I have no patience for cis people who misgender me anymore even when they first meet me like if you can’t tell I’m at least signaling male/nonbinary I have no interest in correcting you or ever seeing you again honestly
Trans discourse online: can trans men identify as lesbians???
Trans discourse in physical queer spaces: how are we going to help trans refugees as they escape neighboring states passing increasingly genocidal laws?
puberty blockers are reversible, gender confirmation surgeries happen after years of living as their identified gender and many medical professionals are involved, using the lives of trans kids for political fear mongering is sick and twisted
Your dating life will change when you transition. You’ll stop dating transphobes and start dating people who love you for who you are. Stop telling trans kids they won’t find love. Tell them they’ll find the most authentic love when they’re their most authentic self.
Twitter users are not representative of a socioeconomic ideology. If you reject socialism as a concept because Twitter is annoying you, then your belief system is weak as fuck.
Can’t stop thinking about the time my mom told me I didn’t need to get top surgery cause if I just lost some weight my chest would be smaller??? Like moms really know how to trigger multiple mental illnesses in a single sentence.

I just feel like one liners have always existed? Like yeah sometimes they’re cheesy or don’t age well but literally everything is written to be consumed by the internet I really don’t understand your beef here
The Seminole County school board met on Tuesday and was overrun by homophobes saying terrible things. That’s why I spoke out, defending my community at 17 years old against bigots trying to take away queer students rights.
