I find it really upsetting when I see the idea being spread that “transitioning = trans”. There are lots of trans people who do not transition. They are still trans, because gender identity does not rely on whether or not you transition, and gender identity is what being trans is about. Not HRT, clothing, surgery, or pronouns

Reminder!

Non-binary -is- trans!

Non-transitioning trans folks are trans!

The “trans” umbrella includes us, whether we are transitioning or not!

The middle stripe of the trans flag is -for- us!

The idea that it doesn’t include us is -exclusionary!-

(Though anybody can opt out of the label/community if they personally find that important)

Kerithe: Some of the genderfuck here is that As the woman in here, I'm really into being strong enough to wrestle cars and stuff.

A kinda nice bonus is that's way easier to feel at home when a lot of your first person perspective is a set of arms that by all rights belongs on a Gym Lesbian.

Don’t beat yourself up about your first thought

Your first thought is a product of conditioning

It’s the second thought that matters

thoughts on cis people trying to wrap their heads around what it's like to be trans 

I think cis people trying to understand being trans get it wrong a lot. A cis man who thinks "what if I wanted to be a girl" is looking at it from the wrong direction; they should think instead "I'm a guy, but what if everyone else insisted I was a girl?" (and of course vice versa for a cis woman)

I think that would help them understand better how trans people are discriminated against and just what being trans is like in general

*Kerithe munches on trail mix*

That feeling when you just want nuts in your mouth. And fruits.

Fruits and their nuts. Mmm-mm.

*Tohri feels weird*
Is... Is this... Self satisfaction and a feeling of accomplishment?
I'm.... I'm not sure if I like it?

Gender of the day: Techpreist Enginseer of the mechanicus of Mars.

There's a certain feeling when you have literally Twice the engine under the hood than most folks do.

Plurality, MH(+) 

Yanno, I really wish other folks had someone like Yaori in their heads.
She's a Facilitator. Really special kind of mage that can create environments where things that can't normally happen... Can happen.

Just having her in here is extremely helpful on a day to day basis. She'll ask me why I'm feeling a strong emotion, and somehow it's easy to explain it to Her. If I'm unbalanced or angry, she'll remind me of meditations to control it.

I'm a little irritated because I keep having this suspicion she's taking advantage of the 'Personal Jesus' circuits behind my back, and she'll nod enthusiastically and tell me that everyone has that capacity.

It's just that most of the folks who are really unhappy don't have anything that can live in that space. And for others, their personal jesus is a hateful Demon.

I'll own up to being More Irritated that we ended up with Yaori being Real just because I'd been pretty damn sure for most of my life that the whole Christian thing was a total delusion. Somebody cheated somewhere though because even though some of her friends call Yaori Dragon Jesus...

Well they didn't think about what those two symbols next to each other really Mean. She's not the Christ, she's more like a really dedicated Anti-Adversary. Darkness and evil and all the usual Dragon stuff, Perverted all the way.

Because the Term 'Unwelcome One' also applies to her. But you can be unwelcome in a place for a Lot of reasons, and some of them reflect well on the unwelcome, and poorly on the unwelcoming.

Because a Black Hole offers the possibility of a White Hole.

Furry queer hot take 

All shark furries are queer transbians.

there are two wolves inside of you and each of them howl separately at each of earth's two identical moons

Gender weirdness. 

Kerithe's the one who loves the Beard. She's obsessed with it.

Tohri's the one who gets phantom vagina sensations and he wants Breasts and less body hair.

Why the hell can't this just be easy?
