I'm not saying you're wrong, but I will ask you to consider the implications of what you're saying.

In the 1970s and 80s (yes, I'm that old) there were groups arguing we should keep "those" people out of our Pride marches. They were just looking and acting like freaks, and they were used by the media to paint us all with the same brush. It made things harder for us, the "normal" ones.

Part of "those" people were Trans men and women.

"How dare you suggest we are neo-Nazi terrorists, let's see how funny your little leftist jokes are on the Day of the Rope when we redeem this nation by exterminating you and everyone who does not properly bow to our messianic ubermensch leader" is not the best argument someone can make but a whole bunch of white revanchist dimwits are typing some iteration of it right now all across social media.

Keep in mind... this happened to a NINE YEAR OLD little girl.

If women don't live up to the #patriarchy's standard of femininity, old white dudes will want to see your kitty to make sure you're a *real* girl.

Trans women were the easy first target in a move to get all women back in line.

Okay, Mastodon friends, I rarely ask for amplification about my day job, but I personally pushed for my employer to make a big investment in enabling the fediverse, and I'd love for everyone to show that the support is appreciated. On June 28, you can join us for a (FREE!) hands-on conversation about how the Fastly team worked to support @Mastodon while the service was under a *massive* DDOS attack. Everyone who cares about scaling the fediverse should join: learn.fastly.com/security-miti @devs

Not even when he's dead, I'm afraid. They'll cover what decomp gases leaked from which orifice.

It is an incredibly dangerous time for trans people. If you are given a forum at the White House you should act like an damned adult and not hurt the movement for instagram clout.

Many t years ago I was on holiday with my gf in a bar and she flipped, accusing me of flirting with two women on the other side of the room who were playing pool.

As well a defending my genuine innocence I was thinking, wow I can flirt? What did I do that looked like flirting?

When 2023 started, I was teetering on the brink of coming out. So this is my first #PrideMonth - I wrote about that and shared some of my work here:
markonart.com/pride-2023-art/ - hope you enjoy and happy #Pride y'all!

When people say things like

*Just be yourself*
*You're okay the way you are*

...they usually don't expect my autism showing up like

~me obsessing over a minor detail
~freaking out over a change of plans
~talking excessively about my SI
~getting a migraine from heavy perfume, too bright light or auditory overwhelm
~not bearing to see a living soul
~having a meltdown bc of severely disrupted routines

You can be a little strange. But not *this* strange.
