I think about this everytime someone comes into my lane
This is a good reason to have scientific studies saying stuff like, “On average, trans people report happiness when they transition with loving family support and unhappiness when people dump acid on their head,” like, yes it is intuitive, yes we knew that, but someday the study that is being passed around under the heading “water is wet,” is going to be used to guide a court decision. And sometimes, when the the weather is fair and God smiles, it will result in some judge pounding the anti-trans arguments absolutely flat with a level of precise violence heretofore only seen in people making schnitzels, and that is a thing of beauty.
A patient, explaining what their relationship is to their new visitor who was headed up to see them, said, “he’s my guardian,” and I said “oh I didn’t you had a legal guardian,” and the patient said, “he’s not my legal guardian, he’s my spiritual and physical guardian. He is also my brother. Well, I say he’s my brother. He’s like a brother. He’s my husband.” And I say this with genuinely no judgment, just pure curiosity, what
this is going to sound like such a little sibling ass take but i genuinely believe that being a little bit annoying is actually a greater sign of maturity and self awareness than being universally likeable and on good terms with everyone
if some people find me annoying and can’t stand me because of how i think and act then that means i’m a fully realized human being with my own personality and opinions and free will and not just a reflective surface for other people’s desires, which is in fact a good thing despite what people who want you to just be a reflection of their own opinions and desires will tell you, and why being considered “cringe” or whatever doesn’t bother me at all
also it’s really funny when you’re confident enough in yourself to know that people not liking you isn’t always a sign that you’re the problem. like there’s something undeniably hilarious about being aware your mere existence has the power to piss someone off and ruin their day and i recommend embracing it.
Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women’s restroom in the state capitol
As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.
So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men’s jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.
Seriously, this is extremely Rosa Parks coded. Good looking, religious college girl. It’s the whole playbook. She also added this selfie.
I support her and hope this goes as well as it can.
Shoutout to trans women for being the only ones to do something actually politically radical with the recent trend of girlcore catholicism
