Secret third option: Be at peace with yourself, be who you want to be and be surprised with who you attract. Why would you want to be with someone who thinks trans people are gross anyway??

Blackshirts and Reds was the book that started shaking my ideas on this.
When I first started transitioning that exact feeling was the number one benefit I told people about. Like the engines running on new oil and it's running so smooth now
Tw: Death/Doomerism
The murder of Nex Benedict is really getting to me. It's really caused me to reckon with all the compartmentalizing I've done for all trans death for so long. Like I've said "their death is tragic but we're dying to create a better world for the future". But Nex's death doesn't do that, their death is going to drive more young people to stay in the closet, and the way the authorities are handling it, it feels like that's the point. Im beginning to lose hope for a better future. I know that's how they win but they are factually winning. Idk, just venting. I can't stop crying all the time.
I LOVE she loves to cook, she loves to eat! I didn't realize it's still coming out! I binged it hard, thought it was cancelled and moved on but that's amazing news.
It wasn't her bad beliefs that made me stop being her friend. It was definitely that fighting and arguing that did it.
Right. And this ex friend just sides with the dominant narrative on those rather than listen to my lived experiences as a trans woman.
Idk sometimes I think the lack of media literacy is on purpose to help make them not have to question their preconceived biases.
Specifically about the trans girl in persona 3. She has a very short moment in it. And the new trans not trans girl from the new JoJos. Me "this is bad trans representation" my ex friend: well he's not even trans, he's just a man who dressed up like a woman to prey on children.
I recently lost a friend over her similar discourse around a trans woman in the persona games. And the way she talked about trans people at all if they had to do with Japan.
Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.
This is kind of scary. I'm worried that this will encourage violence.
