I love being transgender because I love being me. I love myself dearly, and you will never take that away from me.

To everyone celebrating Lula’s reelection victory, I just want us to all acknowledge Erika Hilton right here. She’s a Black trans woman who became the most voted congresswoman in Brazilian history this cycle and has been campaigning nonstop for Lula in the second round

Trans people have always existed and they will always exist.
Not a politician, not a popstar and not a religious figure can do shit about it.

transphobia is rooted in the same patriarchal and heteronormative ideals as homophobia. you cannot claim to be an ally while refusing to stand with everyone under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. solidarity is not selective.

Nobody prepares you for how much quieter you become in your 30s ! You stop needing to be seen, chosen, understood or validated ! You just want to feel rested, regulated, grounded & at peace !

I think there's something healthy about learning to tell people when their actions have bothered you instead of repeatedly swallowing your feelings until resentment builds up.

annoyingly, when you transition people start acting like you’re not longer allowed to speak about your OWN LIVED EXPERIENCE pre-transition. im 32. I was a lesbian for 28 years of my life pre-t. my past experience doesn’t become invalid now that i transitioned

I hate how black culture is treated as inherently humorous. Aave is turned into slang. Black cultural foods are considered ghetto. I wish our culture could exist outside of some veneer of comedy. I think we the most classiest people alive. Opulence.

Trans women dont owe you femininity.
Trans men dont owe you masculinity.
Nonbinary people dont owe you androgyny.
