hello i am sept. short for september. he/they. @septtea is my art-only blog.

Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:

  • Not all Men are evil
  • Everyone has the capacity for evil
  • Transgender Men are men
  • Transgender Women are women
  • Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)
  • Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement
  • Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators
  • Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"

Anyone can be

Non-Binary, there is no

“look” or requirement

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

happy tdov to people who don't pass or have no interest in passing, who can't pass because there is no culturally recognised category for the way they want to be recognised, who flip flop and fuck around, who can't hide their transness and have to plan their everyday around being visible, who can't signal their transness and have to come out over and over because the default presumption is intolerable, who don't have the resources yet or the knowhow or the willpower to change what they want to change, whose transness is warped by a hegemonic image of ideal transness that is almost as difficult to escape as the hegemonic image of cisness, who don't have a justification prepared for the assertion that they are trans but can no longer justify the assertion that they are not, who have a million justifications that are all surplus to the fundamental requirement (that society mandated one articulation of you and you chose another), et cetera and so forth across the world and universe forever. your version is right. don't concede.
