And after all these years, the trans community is still at the back of the bus. I despise that. I’m hurt and get depressed a lot about it. But I will not give up because I won’t give the mainstream gay organizations the satisfaction of keeping us down. If we give up, they win. And we can’t allow them to win. The reason we, right now, as a trans community, don’t have the rights they have is that we allowed them to speak for us for so many damn years, and we bought everything they said to us: “Oh, let us pass our bill, then we’ll come for you.”

Yeah, come for me. Thirty-two years later and they’re still coming for me. And what have we got? Here, where it all started, trans people have got nothing. We can no longer let people like the Empire State Pride Agenda, the HRC in Washington, speak for us. And it really hurts me that some gay people don’t even know what we gave for their movement.

i found out that hannibal is shot in toronto, which means it is now my goal to be a background extra on the show for season two or a fancy dinner guest (literally) or mads’ personal assistant wherein i would feed him cake in between takes and giggle about various topics with him like froyo toppings and minimalist cinema

This would explain why I saw Hugh Dancy on dundas last fall!

blacklightparties: physicsshiny: marfmellow: the-box-ticker: Five Ways to Spot Somebody Suffering from Transphobia reblogging because my anons are fucking up.  Never not reblogging I hate when people are so focused on the genitals or even the chromosomes. Sorry but have you not heard of the fungi with 27 sexes or the fact that XX and XY aren’t the only chromosomal determinants of genitals?

so uh people who laugh at ‘tumblr feminists’ for seeing sexism everywhere

has it ever occurred to you that

sexism might actually be everywhere

and you just don’t see it because it seems normal to you?

?????

legit.

also when people make comments about the social justice community on tumblr but are actually talking about shitty radfems.

Sometimes I forget I have a cat because he sleeps all day, but then I remember at 5 in the morning when he’s licking my face.

I went for a job interview today. I thought I did well and I think they liked me but I’m super nervous. I feel like I didn’t articulate myself as well as I would have hoped, and I wasn’t specific enough. Er.
