I'd genuinely love to never talk about this shit anymore, but that would require me to stop *experiencing* it constantly.
"Transphobia" doesn't even properly summarize what I + so, so many of my peers experience every day now; it's so much more than just vague fear or low-level prejudice.
Deluge of slurs, death threats, false accusations of vile sexual crimes.
and I know its only going to get worse in the forseeable future. I wish I had an answer as to how to survive it. I wish I knew how to make myself more resistant to it, but I'm already one of the most numb-to-transphobia trans people I know.
What a mess of a situation. What a mess of a society.
Payed the taxes as social services were stripped, infrastructure critically neglected, healthcare privatized
Respected community spaces even as they were dissolved
Worked job after job because people have needs to be met even when the pay is bad and the profiteering worse
All this effort we could put towards building our own things, but when we do, they are destroyed.
War has been declared on The Different, on the Exiles, on Those Who Do Not Obey Well
We will outwit, evade, fight, exhaust, and defeat anyone who tries to hunt us down, anyone who tries to command our lives, anyone who tries to force us to change who we are - as determined by US.
Every last one of us has played nice. Every last one of us has made endless attempts at peace and love and compliance. The crushing demands to work, to serve, to comply, to die are being rejected all around us.
We will help our enemies crumble under the weight of their own fiction.
Del Toro’s Pinocchio was really beautifully animated and well written. I didn’t love most of the musical numbers, but they didn’t detract from the experience. The stop motion was top notch for the whole movie except one single scene and the voice casting was spot on.
Not as hard-hitting politically as other Del Toro films, but that’s to be expected from a children’s story like this.

Go press NOTIFY ME Lovely imps:
Being a transfemme public figure, even on a small scale, puts you into contact with such an overwhelming deluge of double standards and collective gaslighting that at some point you simply accept that you are being consigned to an alternate reality than the one you perceive and can demonstrate.
I think a lot of my growth recently has come in deciding how I'm going to grapple with that - trying to salvage my reputation by traditional means does not work when people literally will not acknowledge that they scrutinize me differently than they scrutinize others.
I will be impugned for doing absolutely normal things that every other creator also does, but when I do them they are, for some reason, bad and evidence of malignancy.
There is a certain highly personal, reclamatory freedom that comes from seeing the absurdity for what it is and reformulating approach accordingly.
I wish people could understand that while libs have a more pallatable ideal for daily life and politics, in action they snitch, utilize law to kill, and ruin anyone who disagrees with them on the left for “threatening progressivism”
Liberal communities have again and again declared open war on me, my channel, my name. Falsely accused me and mine of crimes, mass reported my work (and succeded at getting it taken down on false pretenses at least twice!!)
They call me insane for saying things like “yes there is a trans genocide ongoing” and have at literally every turn made my life worse and helped fascists simply for disagreeing with them. Ive fought them only with words. never met them with equivalent force they bear out on me. but I will never forget how much they have punished me after inviting me to debate them in their “marketplace of ideas”
