   Rayne is really cute as a girl (salad_bar_breath@todon.nl)'s status on Friday, 22-Nov-2024 02:41:40 JST Rayne is really cute as a girl

   I get that I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, but I do know these things:

   1. Cis people are not going to save us. Cis people are not going to protect us. Cherish our allies, but it's gonna be us doing most of the work.

   2. Cis people do not become better by us taking some L's, like letting them deadname or misgender us, letting them say transmisic shit, or conceding that you should use the wrong bathrooms. Every inch you give them does not make them think, "oh, maybe I should be better", it makes them think that these are things they can continue to not give a fuck about and oppress us on, and that transphobes have a point actually. What nudges them to work on themselves is giving them shit about it and letting them know this isn't okay.

     3. If you're an openly trans person who is running as or is a politician, or you are organizing as an out trans person, or even if you're an out trans person just existing around trans people more vulnerable and/or junior to you, you have the moral responsibility to protect them to the best of your ability, to fight for them, and to lift them up and make them big.

     Like, I'm sorry we live in this fucked up world where we are forced to fight, but we are. So get with the fucking program.

     Like sure, pick your battles, and find moments of joy and softness away from the world with each other...

     But do not be a fucking coward and do not teach these trans people out here to be cowards.
