I’m the type of girlfriend who always just wants to annoy you like let me hold your fucking hand and let me just hug your back and put my head under your shirt or bite your shoulder or bite your nose or hug your head or some shit idk i love you hoe
it’s because reality is terrifying and our world’s dying, and our developmental years were spent in a constant state of using increasingly nonsensical humor to cope
It’s called the rise of neo-dadaism and the same thing happened during WWII
Half of being trans is being hypervigilant against transphobes. Like, I spent 15 minutes scrolling down on a blog that I would be super interested in just to make sure that it wasn’t going to start reblogging stuff from my favorite transmisogynists. Turns out that my hypervigilance was right again.
Things to look for:
References to “vagina envy.” This is what initially got me scrolling. This alone isn’t a sure indicator.
Andrea Dworkin quotes without criticism
Reblogging from troll accounts like confirmed-/-terf
Most cis wlw on Tumblr are, in fact, supportive of trans people. Most cis wlw who mention “hating men” are not using this as an attack on trans women. However, because of my experience with the small, insular, and vitriolic trans-exclusionary feminists on Tumblr, I have learned to be hypervigilant and it Really Fucking Sucks and Really Fucking Hurts when I am right.
I am a lesbian. This kind of blog would have been My Shit. But I’ve been taught to distrust the very women I connect with the most. I’ve been taught to feel afraid in my own home.
Being a transgender lesbian is constantly walking on eggshells to not prove them right. And their standards are ever changing so it’s inevitable that you’ll prove them right. Righteous anger will be taken as “male propensity towards violence,” which closely mirrors the way men see outspoken women as “shrill.” If we do anything to fight back outside of debate within their terms, we are immediately casted as “violent men.” They will not be satisfied until we shut up, lie down, and die.
Cis wlw can and should reblog this. Help me remember my allies.
you can’t love lesbians and hate trans lesbians you can’t love lesbians and hate black lesbians you can’t love lesbians and hate disabled lesbians you just can’t
For the trans lesbians. For the trans bi girls, trans pan girls, for all the trans sapphic girls out there. Especially for the trans sapphic women of color. Whether you’ve transitioned or not, whether you’re out or not, I am so sorry. You deserve so much better this. You deserve safety and security and all the happiness in the world. You are so incredible and strong. Your pain and suffering is real and you deserve so, so much better. You are important. Your rights are important. Your safety is important. Your security is important. Your happiness is important.
Just in case no one has told you: it’s okay to experiment with the lesbian label. It’s okay to see what it’s like to call yourself a lesbian. It’s okay to tell people that you’re a lesbian even if you aren’t completely sure that you are. It’s okay to be confused and questioning. The lesbian label is not supposed to be exclusive and only available to girls who have it all completely figured out. If you think that you might be a lesbian it’s okay to test out the label, even if you later decide that you aren’t.
Here’s to the gay Muslims, lesbian Muslims, bi Muslims, pan Muslims, trans Muslims, questioning Muslims, and any Muslim who’s not cis or straight who has to deal with being told you’re haram or not Muslim or that you have to “pray the gay away” or “I’ll make dua for you” or that you’re being “influenced by the West” because you’re not cishet. You’re just as valid in your identity and just as Muslim as cishet Muslims and the things that homophobic and transphobic Muslims say about you is not equivalent to the way that Allah SWT views you and you are not hated by Allah SWT and you are not haram.
