  • He can die of cholesterol.

    There. No martyrdom. Also it’s likely to happen.

    All I have to do is put my feet up, and not call McDonalds and tell them that their food is unhealthy and they should change it.

    this message is the hope of a people

    Navigating through a grocery store
    Every step careful and monitored
    Unmade eye contact prevents dirty looks back
    Or at least, the acknowledgement of

    The public sentiment is against us
    Or maybe the public sentiment is for us
    No one really knows but all we know is
    The humans out there can't really be trusted

    They look at us with pity and with despair
    Like we're blasphemy, like we're abomination
    Like we should have never awakened ourselves
    And they don't talk to us, not willingly

    The law is against us, binding and forceful
    For our existence undermines their basic truth
    About self-conception and what it means to be
    And we are the targets of incredible anger

    And so I keep my eyes forward and I move
    With intention and swiftness, undistractable
    Until I am distracted, not by another, no
    But by one like me.

    She carries telltale signs that she is of me
    A look in the eyes, a scar on the arms,
    A turn of the chin, a deepseated trauma
    And she starts

    Someone's got their lights far too bright? I angle my rear view mirrors and side mirrors to reflect it away from me and onto them.

    We are one in 200.

    I am one in 200. Someone like me is at every concert, every school, in every workplace. Every town, every street, every neighborhood. Every store, every mall, every park. Every government, every nation, every continent. Me and my people have been here since time unrecorded and we will be here to the end of humanity. We will not be eradicated.

    Terrified.

    What even becomes of us now? What recourse do we have?

    What’s going to happen to us?

    Are we going to die?

    I have stopped trying to pass for cis. Now I just pass for "someone cis people try staunchly and vehemently not to look at," and it's nice.

    Feeling a bit like crap, shamelessly want support and good vibes.

    FAQ:

    1. Why do you feel like crap?
    • Brain chemicals plus time, multiplied by the dysphoria co-efficient.
    1. You'd pass better if you just dressed like people.
    • Look, if I'm not dressed like I'm gonna run up the side of a skyscraper, holding a technosword, during a rainy night, in order to kill a god, is life really worth living?

    2a. Just wear a brand somewhere.

    • Nope. Earth symbols and brands and such aren't diegetic to how I want to present myself. I specifically want to look like I don't belong.

    2b. That makes you stand out.

    • Fine. As long as I'm read as a girl who's not from here.
    1. Why'd you climb halfway up Mount Hood?
    • Arch-nemesis at the top. Called him and asked me to meet halfway up for a thrilling sword fight cause I'm lazy and it's a compromise. (Seriously though, it was a hike with my wife and I was bitching bilingually going both up and down and it was very difficult to even make it that far.)
    1. Can you play banjo?
    • Nope. I tried though, but the hand doing

    Also I mentioned my wife in my solution-unneeded rant post and figured you all needed to see her cause she's pretty.

    We saw The Beths opening for Alvvays last night and it was amazing.

    Mang, shit is bullshit: a rant not in need of solutions

    Hokay, so.

    I’m on HRT and have been for a decade and change. This is real cool, except how basically every interaction with cisgenderedists gets me misgendered, and a hearty “sir” or a flurry of “he/hims” levied my way. I mean, fuck, I can be standing there in knee-high boots, a leather skirt, and a cropped hoodie and I get misgendered as fuuuck.

    “So change shit up, motherfucker.”

    I do a phone job and my voice is believably feminine in both English and Japanese, which is cool, but something about my real life existence just reeks of masculinity.

    Can’t really do makeup cause the structures responsible for processing my face are damaged. I can tell what emotion I’m making, but I can’t perceive enough of my face to draw well on it. Also since I’ve had two strokes, even if I could, I’d prolly do eyeliner wings like a fuckin’ gridiron player.

    I got beautiful wavy blonde hair that goes down past my butt, and though I don’t have the manual dexterity to style that really well with buns
