  • People tend to treat me very friendly and refer to me as ma’am, which feels nice. Right up until I speak then they correct themselves and say sir and it make me feel bad, on days when I’ve had enough I’ll yell at them for being piece of shit bigoted asses and they usually get scared and go back to ma’am but it’s not genuine.

    Don’t rely on people in your support circles to tell you you pass, they’ll say you do even when you clearly don’t. People I know insist that my voice passes because they want to affirm or make me feel better, but I know it doesn’t because of how people treat me when I speak, also I’ve gone to voice training subs in the past on a burner account and asked if my voice was masc or fem without telling them if I was transmasc or transfem, they almost always said it sounded masc, and a small handful said androgynous. I don’t meant to be rude or mean but I don’t need people to make me feel better when I ask if I pass, I need people to be honest, even if being honest seems like it’ll hurt me, cuz you know what’ll hurt me more? Being assaulted in a woman’s space because someone doesn’t think I’m a woman. It’s happened before.



  • Straight people do not need to take pride in being straight as they are not oppressed for being straight. They do not need to beg for recognition as a straight person or beg not to be abused for being straight, people are understood and assumed to be straight by default. Straight pride parades, straight pride badges, and straight pride labels are a reactionary counter movement to LGBTQ+ pride often arranged and practiced by people who are bigoted or intolerant towards LGBTQ+ people.

    You saying that calling out people for setting up or attending straight pride events or wearing a straight pride label is somehow equivalent t criticizing or denying gay people pride is a bad faith comparison because the situations are not equal and like I’ve already said. Straight people are not oppressed for being straight.




  • I may be newer and not as active here so I don’t know the whole story but from what I’ve seen looking in the modlog buttonmash has a point, drag’s behavior over the past few days is extremely unacceptable, drag has said some awful things that should never be said to anyone, let alone fellow trans people.

    However some people have been giving drag a hard time over drag’s pronouns, and… you know what… Honestly, shut up! Who the fuck are you to complain about another person’s pronoun preferences. You’re losers that’s what. Maybe drag has done some things that aren’t okay but that’s no excuse to invalidate drag’s pronouns, fuck you and everyone everyone who said that to or about this person. You’re not real allies even if you claim to be, you literally invalidate fellow trans people. Seriously fuck you!








  • Their exact words were “You are a freak who is pretending to be a woman, you are a man and will never be a woman” I then told them I’m getting bottom surgery to correct the problem they said “That’s not a thing, you were born with a penis and testicles and you’ll always have a penis and testicles. Facts over feelings.” I can’t say what they said afterwards because it had a lot of slurs. Suffice to say they weren’t smart enough to be saying my genitals will be male sex, they just meant I would always have a penis.

    Yeah I did block them, and reported them. Doubt anything will happen to them for it though. Twitter sucks.




  • It always felt uncomfortable when they’d do it. I felt unsafe when they would do it. I bet if they saw me now they’d make those same jokes about me directly. Probably also mock me for pronouns. They weren’t good people, I don’t know why I hung out with them as much as I did. I guess I just wanted to feel like I fit in with others. Well I’m glad I never came out to them even when I found out, that would’ve been really bad for me, instead we just quietly went our separate ways.
