Mossy Feathers (She/They)

I started estrogen.

Riiiiiight. They can’t afford a car and can barely pay rent despite being split between three of them, so they can definitely afford to move to Ohio.

I know several people who work at Walmart. I wouldn’t say they are stupid, but they’re trapped in a shitty situation where they all rely on public transportation (in Texas) to get to work, which means Walmart is one of the only options.

Bye, bigot. You’re not welcome anyway. You don’t get to question someone’s identity. Period. No matter what else they might have done, you do not get to question their identity.

A) the trolling part is getting people like you to lose their shit and question a person’s “transness”.

B) who died and made you the eternal arbiter of validity? Fuck off. I’ve had enough cis people question me and others; and now you want to tell us how to run our own spaces? Go fuck yourself.

Except the discussion hinges around people trying to claim that drag’s pronouns aren’t valid. That isn’t their place to decide. That is why they got banned.

I’m gonna be honest, y’all kinda fucking dumb lmao.

Let’s say drag is a troll. If so, then drag’s wanting you to do exactly what you’re doing now. You have taken the bait, hook, line and sinker. Congrats! You’re helping drag cause problems! To avoid taking the bait, you gotta use drag’s pronouns. Do that, and there’ll be no drama for drag to stir up.

If drag isn’t a troll, then you’re just being a dick and intentionally causing drama when you could just use drag’s pronouns. By doing so, you’d make drag feel happy and accepted; which would be very progressive of you.

Soooooo… By posting this, at best you’re just feeding a troll and making other trans people question whether or not their pronouns will be respected (no, really, when cis people start drawing lines for trans people, I get extremely uncomfortable; it’s not your place to do so, fuck right off), at worst you’re being a piece of shit.

Edit: the fucking entitlement of cis people telling trans people how to run their spaces is sickening. I thought Lemmy was supposed to be fairly progressive, yet once again I’m being shown that cis people believe they deserve a voice in something that has nothing to do with them. You don’t get to call yourself an ally when you question someone’s validity.

You disgust me.

“This isn’t a joke,” she said. “Why am I the only one doing all the work?”

Don’t underestimate the amount of psychic damage this shit can do to someone. I’m trans, living next to a university in a solid blue county in Texas. I’m probably gonna be fine over the next four years. Probably.

Yet, I have the urge to live as though these are my last days because the world is overwhelmingly against me.

I know there’s a very real chance that if I don’t move, then I’ll be fucked.

I know that, with my education, it really probably wouldn’t be that hard to find a job that’ll allow me to work remotely or that is based in a blue state. Yet I’m dead inside from all the hate and anger. I’ve managed to keep my head down and avoid most of the hate that’d be directed at me personally, but it still hurts.
