Turns out the group that gathers for these events all specifically work to keep racism, homophobia and transphobia out. That was a pretty amazing thing to learn after the fact.

The vibes got extremely fucked this afternoon so I put on a nice outfit and went outside to the parking lot BBQ the other tenants were hosting, had a beer, and was generally visible as a #trans woman around a bunch of 60- and 70-year old snowbirds. Everyone was very cool and I looked good as fuck. Any time I am wearing Wolford tights I feel so good I could jump-kick the damn sun.

non-human thoughts, mh~
I’m trying a new thing when I have an intense creature day like today. I want to sit with the feeling, instead of trying to work it out of my system by pleading with everyone in my sphere to recognize what I am. I know I’m seen. I know I’m believed, even if I’m not entirely understood. It’s nice to be reassured but I don’t want to rely on external validation. Sit with the tension. Feel it.
@selectric that’s my friend Liz!!!

Please boost.
I am starting my thesis research. I am looking for community health centers in a variety of locations, and looking for their websites/FB pages. I am investigating the rhetorics used surrounding trans care, trans bodies, and trans experiences within those community health centers. I am looking at their methods of community engagement with the trans community.
If you are trans (or an ally) who knows about or engages with a community health center in your area, could you please reply here or DM me? I want to cast a wide net for my research, but want to do so by starting with actual trans people in those communities.

Reading about the new CSS margin-trim property on MDN and I’m like “CSS is truly spoiling us” 🥹 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/margin-trim
"Why be openly trans if you pass well enough that people can't tell?"
Because there's nothing wrong with being trans. Being seen is a way of fighting against the bigots who don't want us to be seen or heard.
Because others like me see that they aren't alone.
Because I lost so much time due to a false image of what trans was. Scared and confused by media portrayals, stuck thinking that I'd just be 'an ugly man in a dress'
I needed to see and hear real trans people to see myself.
