"I'm Done With JK Rowling" by Jessie Gender, posted ~2 weeks ago.

Yes, you read that content warning right: This is roughly three and a half *hours* of video detailing all the hateful bullshit JK Rowling has gotten up to, by someone who said author has directed harassment towards simply for being trans and critical of her work and behavior.

It is, in fact, perfectly morally acceptable to kill rapists

"This right here is exactly what’s going on with the Wizard game and why so many LGBTQ people are calling y’all out. You’re here for the party, not the protest."

There has never been a single unified "trans community." Any gathering of trans people large enough will inevitably fracture when someone turns out to be shit and the people with principles leave. The sooner you learn this and grow yourself some principles, the better.

If you don't want this to happen to your community, active, swift, firm, and unforgiving removal of known bad actors *and their enablers* from your circles is required. Swing the banhammer hard and often.

This applies to all manner of physical and mental ableness, too.

I think it's super neat that you can have each of "my fursona/OC is biologically my trans gender and is either aggressively traditionally attractive or more average presentation," "my fursona/OC is just as trans and flawed as myself, or more able to gender express than myself," and "my fursona/OC can do all kinds of wild sex and/or gender related stuff that's not humanly possible" and they're all equally valid and accepted means of pursuing gender euphoria.

I recognise an old self in traumatised people acting righteous and hyper-vigilant, and think about how I behaved that way until someone very generous to me said, ‘you can just forgive yourself for being in the way of harm. you don’t have to forgive the other person, just accept they behaved that way, and forgive yourself that you were unable to move away in time’ and as soon as I heard that I realised that it’s to do with a grudge against yourself and not people who harm

A tool's worth is directly proportional to how effectively it can be used to fuck up a Nazi.

This is why the Wii U Gamepad is the best thing we've ever been able to make out of computers.

Good morning to all pro-Black anti-colonial anti-fash sweetie pies ilu Cops eat shit

Worth noting that the vigil has been covered by the local mainstream press, so please do take care while attending, wear masks and leave in groups.

Trans people aren't exercised about the game, or JKR. I don't give a fuck about either. Does buying, playing, and promoting the game support and enable a virulent transphobe? Yes. Does it matter in the larger battle for trans liberation? Not really.

The problem is that trans folks have said "Hey, there is this really simple thing that you can do to support us - it really takes zero effort on your part."

And the response from many cis people has been a temper tantrum. The bar is SO LOW, but ya'll always bring a shovel. If this is the response to something SO TRIVIAL, we know you will never have our backs otherwise.

It's not *quite* the day yet, but I'm coming up on my second HRT anniversary!

What made me decide to start transitioning was being able to *see* what was possible, knowing that I could achieve that myself was all it took for me. Being a closeted trans woman in the middle of Texas keeps you isolated from info about most things LGBTQ+. I don't want that experience for anyone else.

Therefore, my part in remedying that is to share a series of pictures of myself throughout my journey. Here are pictures of me every month since I started*, minus about 8 months, since I lost those due to a drive corruption a few months back. I've also included a couple of side-by-sides for direct comparison. (left to right: first week, first year, present)

Please boost and/or share this to your heart's content. I want nothing more than for this to reach anyone who really needs to see it.
