hi im josie

hi! i’m the skirt go spinny girl!

(and yes @pirateprincessjess and i are dating now!)

hi, i’m saint josie!

i am a 31 year old korean american trans woman, music maker, and content creator.

i make music under the name “saint josie” and my music is about the difficulties and joys of my transition: the pain of loss, finding chosen family, and learning to love myself. i write my own lyrics and music, i produce all of my own stuff, i sing, and i play guitar, bass, drums, keys, and a bunch of random misc instruments like percussion stuff, harmonicas, and even a theramin once. all of my stuff is on all streaming platforms, including soundcloud and now also bandcamp! (links reblogged!)

i make tiktoks as “josie_irl”and i am on ig as “saint.josie”. the content i make is about my journey as a trans woman, silly goofy skits, and also fun moments in my relationship with jess.

on this tumblr you will find some of my videos that i specifically think tumblr will enjoy (but not all of them don’t worry haha), a whole lot of reblogged memes that tickle my funnies, commentary on things that pique my interest, rants about how much i hate capitalism, and a LOT of encouragement for self love.

glad you’re here 💜

my personal favorite song, a song that *sounds* like gender euphoria

my latest track, releasing on streaming platforms feb 4th!

all of my music on bandcamp!

How screwed are you? /end ID.]

straight guys are absurd. i once asked one if they’d kiss a boy for $50,000 and they said no. at that point it’s not even gay it’s just the best option

she’s a lesbian girl now if anyone wanted an update.

NINE YEARS?

girl is that a 9/11 in your pocket. or is your penis just two ofd them and exploding

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that was pretty clearly on some jerk's truck meant to be a jab at trans people, which said "I'm fat but identify as skinny. I'm trans slender." And like, screw that guy but also... Dysmorphia is a real thing. People do actually look in the mirror and imagine themselves as a skinnier person than what they see, so they take consistent steps towards becoming the person in their head. It's a journey that parallels gender transition in a lot of ways.

Much like how there's nothing wrong with men, it just turned out it wasn't for me, there's nothing wrong with being fat, but this person has decided it's not for him. So congrats anon, you're trans slender.

The best way I've ever heard transmisogyny delineated is functionally along the lines of:

"Transfems are not women who get mistaken for men - we are women, who you can hit - if you pretend to believe that we're actually men."

I know a lot of people appreciate the other classic "transmisogyny is being arrested for revealing your nipples, and then being incarcerated among men," and that one's good too.

Another way to expound first one, though just struck me, and felt revealing:

"Transfems are women who are denied the social technology of feminism."

Which is to say we are made the victims of misogyny in everything that implies, our whole lives - and rather than see us as victims, society is entrained to revictimize us. To disbelieve our victimhood, to recriminate it, to debate in front of us the value of our our abuse, to be cast as having deserved it, for being dangerous, for being loud, for being undesirable by hegemonic standards.

Does this sound like a list of ways that victims are treated, damn, funny that, that's so fucking weird, y'all.

This is all about a fuck times worse while you're an egg, as well, because at that point, even you lack the social technology of feminism as applied to oneself. You can't even understand what's happening to be misogyny - or like I'm sure some people figured it out in real time and still remained eggs, but I could never ever even think of applying feminist analysis to myself and my own life until I thought of my life as being a woman's.

In short: fuck you. Fuck you all. Except y'all who are transfem yourself, holy shit it is not easy.

Palpatine looks like an evil Colin Mochrie

You ungrateful asshole. My bf might be fighting for your freedom and you’re here mocking him for keeping your pathetic ass safe from the threats of the world. If a war comes to our country, we’re not saving you, you dumbass ungrateful fuck up of a human being.

Your bf is fighting for oil and killing civilians and probably cheating on you he’s a scumbag, which is why I just fucked his mom to make a better son

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

Word for today: wisdom of repugnance

The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad

this is probably the funniest example of a tumblr user simply not reading the post theyre reblogging at all

shitting is now amoral. puking is amoral. if you have ever shit or vomited you’re a disgusting freak and you have no right trying to justify your actions.

As a lesbian, it’s happened twice already that one “guy” stands out to me and I think “huh maybe they’re kinda cute and interesting, I wanna get to know them” and then I get to know them better and it’s a closeted trans girl who I somehow sniffed with my little nonbinary lesbian nose

IT JUST HAPPENED FOR A THIRD TIME!!!!

You guys will never believe what just happened to me

What does it mean if every “man” I’ve been attracted to was actually a trans woman? Idk what this says about my sexual orientation but it does mean I have astounding egg-dar

Gays being able to detect trans people of our preferred gender and being able to feel preemptive attraction to them is a phenomenon I was not aware extended to people beyond me

me: “yeah I dated a guy in high school who came out as gay. it was before i knew i was a boy so needless to say it didn’t work out”

coworker: “damn dude was preordering”

other things this coworker (who is a cis guy) has done/said:

—got confused about why I’d never been a boy scout because he forgot i was trans

—told me he was gonna get top surgery scar tattoos to match me after i get mine

—laughs at all my trans jokes, even if they’re supremely unfunny

—calls me big dog (and him little dog) even though he is about as tall as two of me

— “I can’t believe she would say that transphobic thing to you. In June? Pride month?”

Once I said "My gender is whatever's funniest at the time" and my coworker stops dead in his tracks, turns slowly and says "So are your pronouns honk/honk?" killing me instantly

i also was pre-ordered by a lesbian who broke up with me because she came out as gay.

it’s been 15 years now and we laugh about it.
