the world is a better place with trans women in it
this post is making the rounds again and people continually add on “and nonbinary people too, and trans men!” and let me be very blunt i absolutely agree! my life has been made better by the trans men and nonbinary people in it, in a way i couldn’t articulate with words.
tho to also be very blunt this post escaped it’s initial purpose and meaning (in very good and sorta annoying ways). the original post was in response to seeing a series of polls from a popular polling blog where users were asked if they were happy to see someone figuring out they were trans, with a different poll about trans men, transmascs, trans women, transfems, agender, and nonbinary people. out of all the polls the trans woman poll (followed closely by the transfem poll) were mostly “indifferent” or “no” responses when compared to every other poll.
And to be honest I just really needed every trans woman to know that they make the world a better place just by being here with us.
being trans & gender nonconforming is so hard. to Me my long nails are gender in a nosferatu way. to Me my long hair is gender in a metal dude way. to Me my height is gender in a columbo way. to the walmart cashier? to my coworkers, to aunt joan? to some guy at the store? i am some unkempt lady
nothing more disappointing than a shower with low water pressure. i don’t want to feel like a wet sad beast left out in the rain i want to be power washed.
