semi related but im crying now
people talking about the first trans person they met in a server and it occurred to me that ive met a total of 4 trans people irl. 2 coworkers i met irl and then my 2 exes
My mom passed away last night.
I'm sorry in advance if some of this doesn't make too much sense, I'm totally lost and numb and I need an outlet.
Let me preface this by saying my mom was my rock and my whole world. We were very close and she has always been my absolute best friend. My mom had me when she was 23 and raised me mostly all by herself along with my grandma. She has been through so much and she has always been the strongest woman I've ever known.
When we lost my grandma in late 2020 and youngest brother in July 2023, we were devastated on both occasions. It was a massive loss to my mom, my other younger brother and I. Since then my mom's health has declined in various ways. I have been living with her to take care of her and make sure she is eating and staying as healthy as possible, but the pain has just been too hard to overcome.

It’s so crazy how you can measure the shifts in culture based on which race Ariana is pretending to be
im in love with this gif. everyone here looks like they belong in a gay bar
it's tdov. to be honest i don't really remember when i came out first... and i don't remember when i knew i was trans... and i can't even remember when i got on estrogen even though it was like 5 weeks ago. im just trans now i guess.
Help me. I am a 8 year old boy living in the illegitimate Yankee Capitalist regime. President Xi, our shelves are empty and we are hungry. I am asking you to liberate my state of Connecticut with your Chengdu J-20 Stealth air superiority fighters and your Dongfeng 41 Missiles.
A fourth element is discovered along with air, water, and energy. Scientists call it uniqueness. Actually, it exists within everyone…
ethics of making AI images aside, I do find a bit amusing the kinds of sob stories and mental gymnastics people make up to pretend like drawing is this super technical skill with an impossibly high barrier of entry when its like one of the first hobbies toddlers pick up
suddenly a lot of people think they got the next Lord of the Rings in their head but they were never able to turn their stories into anything tangible because the evil elitist artists are hogging all the talent and skill and they need a bajilion years of training or something as if one of the most popular manga and anime of the past decade wasn't made by a guy that draws like this
If you have story ideas but you can't make them look how you wish you could make them look, you suck it up and do it a different way and 99 times out of 100 I guarantee anyone who cares will like it better that way.
reluctant friend: puppy dog city is a myth, we should turn back
grizzled mercenary: it's getting dark, keep moving
puppygirl: puppy dog city's real. it's a city full of puppy dogs, a place i'll belong & fit in, it's home. i saw it
eccentric scientist: the implications are astounding
1 year on HRT!
Happy TDOV 🏳️⚧️❤️
Happy trans day of visibility!
I’m stressed and exhausted constantly! I get stared at in public! I worry about losing access to lifesaving medical care constantly! I cannot get a legal passport! There are people in my life who think I’m a mentally ill predator, a position the government also holds! I feel the need to continue to do sexwork as a fallback, because it’s incredibly hard to find work as a trans woman in my state! (Which means I spend half my time placating men who jerk off to me, but wouldn’t publicly admit to thinking I’m a woman!) every day is a drain that leaves me as more and more of a husk!
And I’m one of the lucky ones!
To be clear, even now it was worth it. better than life before, I get to see the world in color, etc. wouldn’t take it back for anything in the world.
"when you go on HRT you won't look like an anime girl you'll--" i know. i will look like your mom because i am what i eat and she's got expert contractors installing a dinner bell above her bed in exact accordance with my provided schematics
hrt will turn you into my mom because every woman is my mom #feminism
