So I think an important bit of perspective to keep, as a trans person, is that you don't have requirements for being your gender, you have options.

And the distinction makes a big difference, because options are something you can pick, see if it works for you, and abandon it if not. And you don't feel incomplete/not trying hard enough/left out if you can't do some options, for whatever reason (money/disability/society/just don't wanna).

And when I say options, I mean everything from coming out to pronouns to hormones to clothes to makeup to surgery and much more. All these things are options you have. Not requirements to be your gender.

And similarly, because they're options, there's nothing wrong with you choosing more or less of them than your fellow trans peoples. You're not more or less trans than them.

Shit, I’m going to start thinking about my cis masculinity this way, I like this.

Yeah I didn't say it in the original post, but this 100% applies to cis people too. Your gender is yours, how much and what you need to do for that gender is up to you.

wish ppl understood the power nowadays in not giving something attention. things today are so focused on attention and reaction and #memes that the best way to shut literally anything down is simply not give it exactly what it wants. like you arent going to own that bigot on twitter youre going to boost their original message whether thats your intent or not and you arent just playing with ai for shits and giggles you are giving it free learning and data. just stop engaging with things that dont deserve it

also the evidence shows that the best way to fight misinformation/disinformation is to post correct facts and do not show the misinformation/disinformation because the more you interact with an idea the more likely it is you will remember it (even if people are specifically debunking it, if you see the 'debunked' idea more you risk remembering the incorrect information).

the thing about having hope is that it is so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so difficult. but you have to do it anyway

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one

ri-rawr-isnt-ok

No cuz I fucking love this sign. It’s not an actual barrier so it’s not like some sort of challenge it simply says “fuck around and you will find out”

irlwakko

Ohohoho I LOVE “fuck around and find out” signs, especially the really dramatic and ominous (but true) ones

(Context for the last one: it’s a WWII era sign posted around the soldiers’ washroom mirror, warning them to never discuss military plans in places where civilians could hear them and report back to the enemy, e.g. in restaurants and pubs in the country. “Loose lips sink ships”.)

I also love these two, which I would place in the category of “You already fucked around, now you’re about to find out.”

Aerated water is fucking scary. It's water that has a fuckton of gas in it, which reduces the buoyancy to the point where you will immediately start to sink if you fall in.
