crying at the protesters believing that cops canโt arrest you if theyโre not wearing a police hat ๐ญ theyโre stealing cops hats this is ridiculous ๐ญ
hey team! i just had the meeting re:misgendering at vuw student health! and a) it went well, and b) they asked me to put a call out to any vuw students who have had similar experiences both at mauri ora and in lectures (or any uni related place actually). +
not looking forward to having to reveal my legal name under the traffic light system. it genuinely freaks me out to hear it and makes me feel sick to say it. so thank you to ricardo for raising this issue, i hope itโs taken seriously
i am sick and fucking tired of people calling this a debate. itโs not a debate. these people hate us for existing and we are simply asking them to stop. my life is not a debate. fuck you hipkins and fuck you labour and fuck you terfs
did y'all know that KJK has a wikipedia page and in the section where you can see edits and explanations there's a bunch of terfs trying to argue with people who just really like writing wikipedia articles
so my boss had to do the pronouns speech (again) today bc i complained to HR about constant misgendering (again). word for word she said โshe uses they/them pronouns, not she/herโโฆ like are u aware of what u just said
if marama canโt stand by her words for the sake of her job then iโll stand by them. cis white men are a leading cause of violence. disagree? open a history book. suck an egg while youโre at it
HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT FOLKS!!! I HAVE A DATE FOR TOP SURGERY!
however, itโs the 7th of March, a lot sooner than expected, and i donโt have leave from work yetโฆ so iโm gonna need to crowdfund a little. just to cover rent and bills for the two weeks while i canโt work +
i hate it when an LGBTQ+ person self describes as queer and then people tell them not to do that. if i wanna call myself queer im gonna do it and you canโt dictate my identity
freedom of speech โ freedom from consequences. it also doesnโt mandate that people hear you. if she really wanted to speak she could have. she chose to leave before speaking because she couldnโt handle that people didnโt want to listen
@NZStuff
hey why don't you try talking to teachers who got vaxxed and believe in doing what they can for student's health and safety instead? would be much more newsworthy :)
okay so i met
@_chloeswarbrick
a couple of years ago on my birthday and she signed a piece of paper and wrote happy birthday on it,,, but it was made out to my now deadname
of course i refuse to get rid of it but ya know ://
@JacindaTrump
hey have you ever considered being proud of your son and encouraging his passions and path in life rather than complaining about him behind his back on the internet? just a thought
and then my boss was like โwe have to respect it because thatโs what *she* wantsโ and one of my friends was like โbecause thatโs what *they* areโ and i am grateful for her
the terfs are like "i tried to phrase it in [transphobic way]" and the wikipedia fans are just like "dude we're not letting you write transphobia, just write it factually." and thats slay actually
the nurse that is about to inject me with testosterone, and who i just had a conversation about being non binary with, just misgendered me. are you serious?
my sister: โi donโt wanna go by [full first name], i wanna go by [common nickname of said name]โ
mum: โokayโ
me: โi donโt wanna go by [deadname], i am charlieโ
mum: โshut up [deadname]โ
remember how my mum has my deadname tattooed on her (done after she had known i was Charlie for a YEAR)? what if i tattoo her and my dads wedding anniversary on me (theyโre divorced and she hates him). this is a good idea i think
respectfully, the next person to rt transphobia on to my feed for whatever reason is getting blocked. i donโt wanna see how much people fucking hate me for existing on the daily. it hurts too much and i donโt wanna be allowing myself to feel that pain ๐คท
hey team, uh some not so fun news-
cas and i have broken up. things are a bit shit rn but thereโs still a lot of care there and sheโs still one of my best friends.
on a related note, if you know anyone looking for a flatmate (or know of any studio apartments going) lmk ๐
tw: death and transphobia
the fact that terfs wonโt even take a day off to let us grieve. the fact that theyโre using a beautiful young trans womans death as a vessel for their hatred. they caused this and there will be more. fuck terfs all the way to hell.
people are saying twitter is garbage tonight so iโm gonna chuck some trans joy on ur TL and tell you that my binder came today and i love it and i cried a lot!! happy tears!!!
PSYCHO FLATMATE MOVING OUT ARC!! if you know of any queer people looking for a room early next month Em and i would love for them to get in touch with us ๐ฅบ
canโt believe the first bone iโve broken is a fucking TOE thatโs so embarrassing. like if iโm gonna walk face first into a pole at least let me break my nose?
i am a man who is very loudly excited for barbie, and wearing the shirt today has had more men than women telling me how theyโre excited and already have their tickets for a double feature. men love barbie and we should say so
Ryan Gosling reveals many men come up to him whispering about their excitement for โBARBIEโ: "Iโm like why are you whispering it? Thatโs cool. Thereโs something in it for the Kenโs."
corrected an older man who misgendered me and he was so genuinely sweet about it, and when i was like โoh it happens all the time donโt even worry manโ he was like โbut youโre a handsome guy! people should see thatโ so iโm sobbing
Okay, here is the official post! Please share!!
And thank you so so fucking much to the people who have already donated and shared the prev post. You're all wonderful <3
+ i can pass on Liamโs (and kevins) emails to you and help support you with any meetings/processes. i know itโs rare but uni is actually looking to set things right for once, so if you have anything to contribute, please flick me a dm x
ever since being on T i find myself drawn to construction sites. i just stumble across them constantly. and i canโt help but stand and watch the machinery. this is what being a man is about
people being like โi HAVE to buy the game, harry potter was a huge part of my childhoodโ pisses me off. it was a huge part of mine, too. it was a fucking special interest for almost a decade of my life. but i donโt get the chance to be objective now do i?
my nana died this morning. just shy of 90. we knew it was coming, but itโs still fucking devastating. she lived a good life and was always so kind and happy. she was beautiful and visiting to her was always a highlight during my trips back to family. RIP โค๏ธ
my mum called me charlie for the first time on the phone earlier and it sounded so weird coming out of her mouth but holy fuck it was the biggest relief of my life
in my gender and sexuality class every time the lecturer says โgender critical feminismโ she puts feminism in quotes because as they said she is โyet to find a gender critical person that is actually a feministโ โค๏ธ
one of my male coworkers keeps flirting with me and idk how to tell him that:
a) iโm already in a relationship
b) iโm not a girl
and
c) iโm not interested in men
happy 1 year to my stimk, youโre my favourite ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐๐ i love you more than words can say and iโm excited to spend a whole ass life w you x
