Me too.

Parents: teach your children in addition to the schooling, and teach them how other kids parents are confused and scared when they ask why their friend is x-phobic.

I’m just pleased to see no blahaj’s on the list. Cheers!

Meta really seems to want to become irrelevant as dumb as possible

For me, there wasn’t much available in the vein of live action media that I found to be affirming. I didn’t care for RuPaul before hearing about his less than ideal thoughts of our community, so there isn’t much.

I would say though, there is so much trans-esq/directly trans storylines to be found among Anime of all genres. I also found the dark(er) than real life focus that is most media of today to be a real negative part of my content. Once I stopped consuming dark fictional content, combined with limiting my video-based news, I found that I had sooooo much more room to both examine/appreciate/dream about a positive future for myself, especially my tolerance to withstand dysphoria.

One anime I really found myself relating to almost all of the characters in some aspect, including the very clearl gender-rebel or sorts, was Netflix’s The Seven Deadly Sins (the show). If you like fun fantasy with the right amount of camp and silly tropes, Its a great watch.

Note about the police:

This should really be taken with the understanding that I am a white (trans)woman, who is sober, quiet, who is well practiced in the masking needed to make these types of interactions survivable. I am acutely aware that I am very privileged to have not been treated in the way POC’s have and still are. I feel like POC’s are likely to be safe in MN, but I’m not qualified to really speak anything beyond that.

In total, I would guess I have had ~20-25 interactions with police over the last 1.5years. All but 2 of them were almost identical: Sleeping while parked legally overnight, and lasting all of 3 mins to knock on my covered window, do a quick ID check, and make sure im not drunk / OD’d

The other 2 were fortunately just as uneventful.

Stay safe out there, no matter where you come from, and remember to stick together when you can. 💜

Thanks, ur not at fault, im a bit sick this morning and probably am an idiot is all.

I wish I could be a tenth as happy as you seem. I’m stuck with just gross ones from just a horrible relationship with food all my life.

I’ve never said this before, but we should put a TW on this. I didn’t want to read this rn, and wouldn’t have if I’d have known. (I thought it must be some other thing that just was being called stretch marks or something)
