UN said: Gaza needs 70 years to be livable, at least 70% of the infrastructure is destroyed.. Gaza, the most beautiful city that I have ever seen in some before and after pictures that shows a little part of the destruction.

People give both masculine trans men AND feminine trans men shit, it’s just different flavors of shit.
“You’re trying too hard to be a man!” “You know, it’s okay to be a butch lesbian, you don’t have to be a man.” “Toxic masculinity.” “Why do you hate women so much you want to stop being one?” “Just because you’re a man now doesn’t mean you have to conform to gender stereotypes, stop trying so hard!” “You could be so much prettier if you just grew your hair out and stopped acting like a boy.”
“Are you even trying to pass?” “You can’t be upset that everyone misgenders you when you look like that.” “What’s the point of transitioning if you’re just going to look like a girl anyway?” “You’re obviously not even an actual trans man.”
I’m sorry, you want me to think either of these are better? They’re both shit. These are both shitty things to say about any given trans man.
No, society does not reward masculine trans men for being masculine men. They focus on the trans man part, start thinking “ugly failed women”, and start giving us shit.
This doesn’t mean they want trans men to be feminine, though, obviously, because then they give them shit for being feminine and for being trans men. But again, they focus on the trans man part, start thinking “women who are trying to be trendy”, and start giving them shit.
It’s all shit. None of it is better than the other.
But amidst all the shit, I need you to notice one thing: the focus is on them being trans men. The truth is they don’t actually care if we’re masculine trans men or feminine trans men. We’re trans men and they hate that.

Killing children in a playground is a clear sign that the dehumanization of Palestinians is seen as an opportunity, not a crime.

If you jump to call a trans man a ‘bitch’ whenever they disagree with you then I’m just going to assume you’re a transphobe and a raging misogynist.

Homeless LGBT Couple needs support!
Tumblr media
Hey everyone.
My partner and I are still homeless and we've been struggling for some time to meet our basic needs. We've been going hungry much more often and we keep losing shelter when we need it most. It's been raining a lot lately and my bronchitis has progressed to pneumonia with no sign of recovery yet so having a place to rest is super important right now. Any help we can get covering food, supplies, bills, and shelter in a motel room is greatly appreciated.
On a brighter note, our 20th anniversary is this month and, on April 12th, we will be getting married. It's a simple courthouse marriage for now, but that doesn't make it any less special to us. Please join us in hoping for the best going forward!
Venmo: @garbageconnoisseur
CashApp: $garbageconnoisseur
PayPal: @garbageconnoisseur
(Please no hate and no unsolicited advice. I can't deal with it right now and you will be blocked. Well wishes are welcome.)

"Queer people should be weirder"
Y'all can't even handle trans men with full beards who lift weights and won't take your shit without calling them "examples of toxic masculinity"

i love tcock and strap as much as the next tranny but y'all gotta be more comfortable w people having bottom dysphoria and wanting bottom surgery. including phallo. like why can't we have the same excitement we have for top surgery? why is it that whenever someone talks about wanting a cock there's this pressure to come to Any Conclusion other than phallo. & being genderqueer it especially sucks because it makes phallo seem like smth that's only done by super cis passing binary guys (esp het guys). sorry maybe i don't want to suffer in my dysphoria for no reason! maybe having a phallo cock can be silly and fun and desirable. if a trans person says they want a dick and your first response is "oh but you can just use a strap–" maybe stop. and ask why you have mentally decided that getting a penis is functionally impossible.

as someone who has been scarred for life by experiences at gay bars, i need people to understand it's beyond tacky to mock people who want queer spaces beyond queer bars- it's dangerous.
let me explain. i went to 2 of my local queer bars a lot last year, as much as i was able to despite being poor. i witnessed a fist fight that was so bloody that ended up with a transmisogynistic drag queen getting hit in the head with a metal baton. the sight caused me to uncontrollably throw up in the bathroom of the club because of how gruesome it was. they had to close down the club and forard people out the back door because of how out of hand this person got- he was screaming transmisogynstic slurs and phrases at the bouncers were were transfem.
i was also sexually assaulted at these places, i was repeatedly groped by several people who i was not interacting with in the first place who found me attractive and decided physically grabbing me on numerous occasions was the way to get my attention. being femme in a queer bar is dangerous even if the people groping you are gay men.
i am also a recovering addict who dealt with alcohol issues in the past and could be considered a recovering alcoholic. i don't want to be around alcohol. i don't want to smell it. it triggers awful memories and also sometimes makes me consider getting a drink, but i can't have one, because the medications i take will cause a fatal reaction- i don't want to be tempted to drink, because it will kill me.
it's not right to mock someone or call them childish or whatever for not wanting to go to a club. whenever alcohol is involved, people's inhibitions are gone and they will do whatever. this includes fighting. i witnessed several other fights. just because it's a queer bar doesn't mean there won't be fights. and it especialyl doesn't m ean that you won't get groped or assaulted because, like i said, since alcohol is involved and it's a bar, there's a high chance this can and will happen.
queer people are not inherently safe angels to be around by virtue of being queer. there are still transphobes in queer bars. tranny chasers come to these bars. homophobic lesbians show up and lesbophobic gay men show up. drag queens and performers bring their cishet friends and family to support their shows. these are not perfect havens. they are not safe. we should not force other queers to interact with inherently dangerous spaces if these are supposed to be our safe spaces.
also these spaces are not friendly to people with disabilities; wheelchair users have nowhere to go especially when it's very crowded. other mobility aids get kicked and knocked over. neurodivergent people can get overstimulated by the deafening music very quickly. photosensitive people can have seizures due to the strobing lights. people with emetophobia like me run the risk of running into those types of triggers. people who are overstimulated by intoxicated people have no choice but to deal with it. dancing is one of the only activities to do other than drink and not many disabled (or even abled) people can dance for extended periods of time comfortably.
not to mention these spaces are not geared toward aromantic or asexual people at all, either. there is a long list of reasons why bars should not be our primary venues of interaction with one another. they serve a specific purpose- for people who want to cruise- but for the rest of us, it's really crucial that we have spaces that provide meaningful interactions with other queers on other levels of our identities.
some people just want to hang out with other queers in a quiet environment and craft, or shop, or drink coffee, or read books together, or just about any other activity on planet earth, and that's not "lame" or "cringy" or bad in any way- these are extremely normal and necessary parts of human interaction that we all require and crave and it's normal to want to do healthy, domestic things with other queers. we need this in our lives.
please take it seriously when people attempt to create queer spaces that don't involve alcohol and bars. it's necessary for our survival and well being as a community.

not so friendly reminder to wear your damn mask, wash your hands regularly, take precautions, etc.. when you're sick.
i know people stuck on a hospital bed because of a "small cold" they caught from a person who was too selfish to take their precautions.
even if you're not actively coughing or sneezing, just talking and shaking hands is enough to contaminate someone.
don't be a selfish prick and wear your mask.

most trans people who people like to call "non transitioning" actually do transition, but people don't want to acknowledge that not all transition is medical
changing your hair is transition
deciding to shave or grow your body hair is transition
doing something different with make up is transition
changing your new wardrobe is transition
changing your name is transition
changing your pronouns is transition
coming out to people is transition
even just accepting your own transness without telling anyone else is transition, as it changes how you see yourself
it's almost impossible to be trans and truly non transitioning, even if that transition might be non medical, non visible or entirely self contained
all kinds of transition are valid.
there are also things that aren't necessarily associated with transition that an individual may consider to be part of their transition, like working out to make their body look different, getting piercings and tattoos and so much more
there are so many ways of transitioning besides surgery and hormones
"non transitioning nonbinary/trans person" is just code for "i don't consider your transition to be real because it doesn't fully fit into what cis people expect"
"some parents would rather have a non transitioning trans child than one who does" like yeah no shit. a non transitioning trans child is a trans child who doesn't come out, doesn't change anything about themself. not their name, not their pronouns, not their hair or wardrobe. a non transitioning trans child is a trans child who never talks about being trans so their parents can pass them off as cis. a non transitioning trans child is a trans child that is in the closet. of course a lot of parents would rather have a trans child who stays in the closet so they don't have to deal with their transness. but you all mean "non transitioning" as in "not medically transitioning" and that's not true either. trans people get kicked out of their house for doing as little as changing their pronouns. and if you say you're doing literally anything as part of your transition/because you're trans, people will absolutely give you shit for it, while a cis person can do the same thing and it's no biggie. social transition is not accepted at all.
there are some weird trans people out there who will completely dismiss people's life saving transition steps as "non transitioning" because they don't fit cis ideas of transness, it's disgusting
when i say "transition" i'm always including medical transition and social transition, as well as anything else an individual may consider part of their transition that doesn't necessarily fit into the two boxes
also can we stop acting like social transition isn't also constantly under attack

I just saw someone say "yeah but the palestinians "left" their homes during the nakba so they are not really theirs anymore" and I-
Tumblr media
Ya rabb give me strength. like what the heck.
Also like "they left"?? my dude the word you are looking for is FLED. they freaking fled otherwise they would have been massacred by Israelis just like all the other THOUSANDS of Palestinians during al-nakba. So that makes Israhellis that live in these stolen houses STILL settler scum and nothing less.

You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.
Tumblr media
There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.
Tumblr media
Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.
Tumblr media
PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.
Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)
The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.
So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸
