as a trans woman, even dreaming about getting married sounded absolutely ridiculous and impossible to me. then i met him. and now, iโm entering 2020 as an engaged woman, soon wife to-be ๐
happy new year again everyone ๐
TODAY: intolerant student in complete hysteria targets UW-Madison College Republican student office. Another example of total intolerance from the left in an environment that is supposed to welcome a marketplace of ideas. *disclaimer contains explicit language*
a reminder that African trans women exist and they need our help and attention. leaving Africa I vowed to do as much as I could for the LGBTQ+ community there and it all starts with raising awareness. protect black trans women while theyโre here. RIP Nare
Nare Mphela, who won a landmark transgender discrimination case against her Limpopo high school in 2017, has been murdered in her home.
Rest in Power Nare.
If yโall didnโt know he did this in memory of a trans woman who was murdered in Puerto Rico and to combate homophobia and transphobia. Love this king.
this is called rape. he raped her. and he was allowed to retire peacefully?? while she has to hang on to that memory for the rest of her life??? where tf is the outrage????
TW: death, murder, transphobia
this HAS to stop.... yet another Black trans woman killed for absolutely no reason & no idea who did it. we donโt deserve this. we never have. everyone staying silent in the face of this is JUST as guilty. Rest In Peace, Bree Black.

#TransDayOfVisibility
letโs remember that black trans women still have a lifespan of 35 yrs and a 1/5 chance of getting killed.
RIP Dana Martin, Camila Diaz Cordova, and Ashanti Carmon (all in 2019). We remember you โค๏ธ

so lemme get this straight... children are too young to make decisions when it comes to their gender identity/sexual orientation bc theyโre unable to understand anything โcomplexโ but old enough to understand what it means to be fighting for a fascist system? bye.
have you guys seen this?? this trans woman was literally shot 5 times in broad ass daylight in front of multiple people AND the murderer managed to get away......... iโm fearing for all of us right now.
idc if he says theyโre happy IDFC this is GROSS & should NOT fly because heโs a boy. itโs pedophilia. they started dating when he was SIXTEEN??? when the FUCK are we going to talk about the pre-mature sexuality of gay teens due to lack of sex education and its dangerous reality??
now i KNOW this isnโt a big deal to most ppl but......... this is my FIRST time EVER in an actual bathing suit and i feel soooo good & beautiful???? ๐ญ๐ญโจ bye
i know yโall mean well but please stop sharing those awful videos of trans women getting assaulted on the tl. you really shouldnโt have to see us physically hurt and publicly humiliated to care. donโt share shit unless thereโs a TW & a cashapp tag attached to it
thereโs nothing wrong with cis men in drag. let people explore and play with art. i have a problem when yโall start to conflate dress up and a real life identity. what exactly did this achieve? whose transphobic mindset did this change?
i still canโt believe it ๐คฏ after thinking to myself so many times that i would never be able to do it, here i am, ready to share my truth..
my name is EVE, and i am SO proud to be a black woman of transgender experience. ๐
iโm not the biggest fan of this stance but thereโs a part of transphobia that really does stem from jealousy lol because how r u so deep into a strangerโs business that u know who she made out w all night and going as far as to follow patrons around to out her toโฆ
how did they get them so fast? it takes at least half a year (if ur lucky) for trans ppl to have access to hormones bc of โiRrEvErSiBlE cHaNgEs & BlOoDcLoTs!!!!!โ but one lul cough and yโall distributing estrogen like itโs halloween candy?
2016 โ> 2017 โ> 2018 โ> 2019. so thankful i was able to leave my home country and truly start living. itโs been hard but i learned to love myself and i wouldnโt trade that for anything. please remember to cherish & protect black trans women during

hey twitter, after i went part time in school i lost my ability to work due to visa restrictions. my student visa is expiring soon and as an african trans woman who transitioned while away, i do not have a safe place to get back to. canada is my home.
on this lordโs day i feel powerful and especially proud of myself. here i stand, black, trans and proud as hell when just a few days ago my own mother told me sheโd rather take the odds and have me die rather than transition. i truly am one powerful ass bitch
#LGBTQpower
hey friends & mutuals, i know this isnโt the best time but my visa is expiring in less than two months and w/ today being the first day of pride i just want to be able to immigrate and stay with my husband. please donate even $1 if you can or share.
just spoke to my mom. she loves me and i love her. i cried. she still canโt understand my transition. she said she never will be able to. but she still loves me which will never stop, and vice versa. i need several hugs
transgender women did NOT fight for yโalls right for you to not only turn around and ignore our pleas for help โ but now you also want to abuse us????
please send daniella your love and prayers. she needs it. we all do.
cis gay men, get a grip.
being transgender isnโt something for you to wear and take off for a video. we are not a joke. my identity is not a joke. iโm so sick of you white influencers not taking anything serious or holding anything sacred. 19 women killed this year already. our lives are not a costume.
this literally isnโt a real person.. have yโall been noticing a rise in fake LGBT accounts too? conspiracy time: iโm convinced these were created just to make us look bad/crazy... bc this literally canโt be a real person
ok i basically disappeared the entire month of pride due to my mental instability but to my surprise i came out of it alive & in one piece so hereโs a selfie to celebrate. good morning yโall
i just saw this but hell no. what yโall wonโt do is give props to a racist, stale and ashy wyt woman for CARRYING the trans community when all sheโs done is lick cis boots and tear her sisters down?? donโt disrespect black trans women like this. not even as a joke
i just found out she was 17.. she was still a kid... both the 17th and 18th trans women killed this year were under 18. both SO young with SO much ahead of themselves. i am so heartbroken and in tears. my heart is with those who loved her. protect trans women. Rest In Peace, Bee.
TW: d*ath, m*rder
every week yet another black trans woman gets murdered. not s*uc*de, not illness, not anything but murder. something is happening but yet no one is saying anything about it so here we go...

we often think trans-misogynistic violence only comes from outside. it does not. gay men are not exempt from toxic masculinity and this couldโve gone a lot further had it not been in public โ gay men DO BETTER. these are the beasts responsible for this. expose them.
not letting a child transition is child abuse. not letting a child transition is child abuse. not letting a child transition is child abuse. not letting a child transition is child abuse. not letting a child transition is child abuse. not letting a child transition is child abuse
BREAKING: the judge in the
#ProtectJamesYounger
case has ruled that the father will have a say over medical decisions, including the "transition" of his son. This is the best outcome we could hope for in a horrible situation all around. I think our outcry made a real difference.
if you think that other trans people canโt be transphobic; think again. thereโs a thing called gate keeping and itโs really not cute. itโs dangerous and detrimental to the wellness and safety of all of us trying to live peacefully in our truth.
even if Meg was trans & living stealth itโd be reason enough for her to be shot in not one but both feet? itโs the way yโall lack complete regard for human lives but want to cry abt being oppressed.
unpopular ass opinion: this NEEDS to be considered child abuse and carry a sentence. going as far as literally holding a child back to torture him... sociopathy.
hey yโall, please mass report those imbeciles on instagram as well under this very tweet. sheโs being targeted and harassed by transphobes, and as allies, pls perform the ONE duty you have โ take 5 minutes out of your day to protect your trans sisters
anyways. if youโre a trans girl in montreal or surrounding areas and youโre running out of hormones & canโt get any at the moment, DM me i got you. iโll share my personal supply!!
GOOD MORNING YโALL BETTER RISE & SHINE!!!! โจโจ TALK YOUR TALK, WALK YOUR WALK, STRUT YOUR STUFF, and if somebody tells you youโre too much then just know THAT THESE NIGGAS AINT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!
HAIR BLEACHING IS NOT A ONE-STEP PROCESS. please stop slapping 40V developer and bleach powder 3x in one day to go from black hair to platinum blonde. your hair looks fried and you look dumb
the murder of the 19th trans woman this year was almost missed because they classified it as the murder of a cisgender male (until her community spoke out) and it got me to thinking... how many more deaths have been falsely reported and how many could we potentially have missed?
i donโt know what to respond or even if i should respond.. youโre straight? trans women are women? also why do you think itโs someone elseโs job to help you define your sexuality
fiancรฉ: hey dad, i found a woman, weโre getting married
