Pronouns fluctuate between he/him, she/her, they/them, xe/xir, and combinations thereof. I'm an adult but I don't want my birth year to be calculable. I love animals, no matter the habitat or time period. I love cartoons. I love video games. I love myself.

🚨 FAKE TRANS DOCUMENTARY:

This week someone claiming to be from a trans-supportive film, “It Takes a Village,” reached out. After investigating, I figured out it was a front for far-right director and Robby Starbuck. If they contact you, DO NOT RESPOND. We don't need any more deceptively cut anti-trans films!

This is how Matt Walsh tried to con me into What Is a Woman last year. Thankfully, exposing him helped other trans people back out of the project. I hope sharing this information will do the same. These bigots can’t get interviews without lying to us.

To be clear, I knew it was a sham from the start. They’re using Gmail, called drag bans “the drag issue,” and refused to reveal the distributor. I planned on having them book me a hotel so I could ask for the name on their card. I didn’t even have to go that far: they forgot to create a new Calendly account, which still was registered to Robby’s website!

Based on the questions they sent me, it appears Robby planned to use his connections to arrest me in Tennessee. He's called for my arrest many times before and his tactic probably would have worked had I fallen for his clumsy front. This is full-on fascist behavior.

A strange part of Robby's fake documentary is that it appears the alleged director Matt Rodgers is a real filmmaker. They sent me his website but claimed he couldn’t speak while filming in Croatia this week (another dead giveaway). Could he be directing the film? Or is he just another front?

So Robby, just like your congressional campaign, you've failed to achieve your goal. I'd love to hear what you have in store for us now that you’re exposed.

Be safe out there people. As an activist in another arena I have been contacted by underhanded documentary people twice and sometimes it takes a lot of detective work to sniff out what they’re really trying to do. Don’t accidentally help them and don’t put yourself in danger. Real activists making media will have checkable connections with established trustworthy organizations. (And the ones who may be just starting out and have no proof, well, on an issue like this, do you really want to risk your safety to do one of these projects with someone who’s given you no reason to trust them?)

I genuinely love that you are disgusted, upset and repelled by my failure and refusal to preform my government assigned gender.

I revel in your disgust for my presentation. It gives me a giggle.

ace trans woman here. i kept reading that taking progesterone makes your sex drive go waaay up, so when I got it prescribed by my endo i was a bit scared it might unearth some hidden sex drive and i'd have zero idea how to handle it. that didn't end up happening (thank god).

no, what happened is my cuddle drive went through the fucking roof. within a few weeks it was very much an "i need someone to step into this warm basket of goodies and snuggle up with me right the fuck now" kind of situation, and this is where I've been for the past few years.

There was a genuine problem (or “problem”) with the early English colonists where some colonists would see how the native people lived and go, Why the hell am I starving in this repressive Puritan community like a sucker when those people have shit figured out? and run off to join up with the native people.

So part of the reason for the “mystery” of the lost colony was that the colonizers didn’t want people to know that English people could voluntarily join forces with the locals and quite often be welcomed by them.

i see they're already arresting protesters in london today. Hell

Avatar

they're being arrested for unloading placards from a delivery van. By the way

according to the guardian, the protesters asked why they were being arrested, and they didn't get a response. these people were detained without official reason. that is fascism and suppression.

They've been doing this for centuries, nowts changed

“your rent should be a third of your income” well wouldn’t that be nice. wouldn’t it. lower the rent pussy

Casual observation from someone old enough to remember: in the year 2000 financial advice was that rent should be no more than 1/4 of your income.

I want to say that with trans folk now being at risk of the fucking death sentence in Florida....

The time for community is Now. The time to start planning and organizing how to get our rights back is NOW. bring it up at your local LGBT craft events or book club or support group or whatever. Tell your friends. Spread the word. And maybe see which ones will have the safety and resources you'll need should a Lavender Hunt happen in your area.

And on the scarier end of reality....

This is fucking terrifying. Lots of people are at risk. Personally, I'm terrified this rhetoric will spread much like Trumpism did. I'm scared for my gf and I'm fucking scared for myself because we know historically that it isn't just trans folk on HRT or drag performers that they go after.

And you have every right to do whatever you need to protect yourself.

I'm not going to shame folks who quit HRT, who take the rainbows out of their bio, the people who start saying partner instead of revealing a gender, or anyone else taking a few steps towards the safety that the closet provides. WE shouldn't.

I fucking love you. And we'll be okay as long as we're together, okay?

We keep us safe

For those wondering, on the ten stages of genocide, we are now here

I’d best be seeing that anti JKR energy for this twilight show too bc Smeyer continuing to profit off the Quileute tribe is not cute

I keep seeing people on Twitter being all "I'm sure they'll be more respectful and mindful of the Quileute tribe this time around."

Except, they won't be. Even if they get actual Native American actors to play these characters, even if they bring on a Native American to serve as a cultural advisor, it wont matter. Why? Because Smeyer appropriated a real Native American tribe and twisted their culture and history in her fantasy books for her own profit.

This fictional Quileute Tribe is and always will be disrespectful to the real life Quileute tribe.

The Quileute Tribe is still taking donations to move out of the immediate tsunami zone as of April 2023. Instead of directing attention to this TV series if/when comes out (and even if it doesn't honestly), please consider supporting the tribe financially here if you can afford it.
