My #Trans Day of Visibility post, called *So the Monsters Don't Get You* talks about why any of this fucking matters when it's so fucking exhausting just to exist, and how scary it can be to be visible for each of us, but how being invisible is an even greater existential risk for all of us.

So the Monsters Don't Get You

Hey, I appreciate you. Not just because you're so patient when it's been over a month since I've reached out, or you're so patient when I fill up your inbox multiple times in a week. I appreciate that you are reading at all.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Lesser known things about transness:

- you do not have to experience dysphoria to be trans
- you do not need to "know" that you are trans your entire life
- you do not need to change your body or presentation in any way to be trans
- transfeminine people on hormones grow breasts (among many other feminizing changes)
- transmasculine people on hormones grow facial hair (among many other masculinizing changes)
- transness is different from sexuality; just like anyone else, trans people can have any kind of sexuality
- there is so much joy in transitioning and being yourself
- there is no particular look or way of being as a trans person. Sometimes online discourse flattens and narrows the apparent
trans experience to stereotypes.
- it is never too late to transition!!

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility, all!

Thinking fondly of the transphobe who cowardly deleted their post 'saying "a trans woman is a woman" is like saying "a dolphin is a whale"' because of the dozens of replies pointing out that dolphins are, in fact, whales.

Note to cis people:

If you watch and support Harry Potter series, you are funding the anti-trans crusade that is killing people like me and stripping away our rights. Experts have warned that in the US and UK the steps toward genocide against trans people are accelerating.

I ask:

Do you care more about nostalgia of fictional people?

or

Do you care about actual people like myself and our right to exist in society like you?

This isn't a trick question. Do the right thing please. #trans

Cis people sometimes demand #trans people rigourously define what "gender" means and explain what drives us to embody a gender other than the one assigned to us at birth. If we can't do that, they say, how can they believe us?

But trans people shouldn't have to be philosophers and psychologists all wrapped up into one to have our experiences believed. 1/

How are we in a world where these two statements are widely seen as simultaneously true: (1) You always know when you see a trans woman so Sex Matters toilet terrorists are just fine, and (2) trans women are so sneaky the IOC has to catch them out with genetic testing?

There has only ever been one trans woman athlete at the Olympics, and she finished last. It wasn't a trans sneak attack, the athlete made no secret of her history. There is no evidence at all of trans women "stealing" sport from cis women. In fact, trans women are underrepresented on the winner's podium.

This ban is transphobic but the direct victims of the ruling are intersex and cis women who are now required to "prove" they are women. The violence is that people who have lived their whole lives as women will be told they aren't really valid. That they are a threat to their sisters.

Fuck the IOC.

"Lola" was released in 1970

The attitudes to #Transgender folk were different even amongst #Trans folk.
Transvestite was the common term.

Is it transphobic.
Without the context, yes.

But for me, it was one of a few trans themed work of art in public space and I really, really appreciated it.

It was actually liberating.
