Sometimes I really understand why so many trans women walk away and fade into the background a few years after transition.

Watching us make the same mistakes again and again and again because we constantly eat our own and our history is doing my head in.

As is having to unfollow/block the useful idiots with their “if we could all just sit down and LISTEN to the people who want us dead, we could find common ground”.

I get it. I was once the same.

It’s bullshit, and in this climate, the sort of bullshit that hastens what’s coming for us.

I think I can weather this storm, but many can’t. Some of the ones who won’t be able to are the same ones currently desperate to give the gathering clouds the benefit of the doubt.

The pathetic thing is, what they’re doing isn’t even respectability politics in any meaningful sense, because the people they’re trying to convince are themselves playing respectability politics. It’s trickle down respectability politics.

Reminds me of the time I came home from school to find the cat meowing at the dog to open the door and let them both in.

Dear god, I need a drink.
