Rest in shit, Charlie.
I trust the devil has a special place for you.
I'm having a celebratory beer in honor of the person who Luigi'ed your ass and for all the trans people who are free of your hateful bullshit.
.

About the beer: Whooo. Momma's about a half way in and this is making me a little dizzy already. It's a really tasty brown ale that is a nitro, which means it's infused with nitrogen instead of carbon dioxide. I luhhhhhv brown ales but have never really been a fan of nitro beers. This one ain't bad though. It's made in a small brewery that's in a little town just north of Houston.

I guess this is what happens when you accidentally take a nap in the afternoon and as a result are still awake at 1am. You think of your college poetry writing class and are inspired to write a sonnet

A SONNET FOR THE MOON 🌒

I saw the moon tonight.
God, she took my breath away.
A partial view but of that despite
so beautiful as clouds across her swayed.

She sat low on the horizon
not oft seen as if relaxed and happy
A soft smile illuminated and brightened
the darkened night effortlessly.

A breeze brushed my barely clothed skin.
But I could feel a comforting warmth.
It is her tidal pull in my veins again.
Big against the sky I was drawn forth

I haven't seen her that way in years.
I saw the moon tonight and she brought me to tears.

Ha! You got one!

How I imagine your next move to get a better, more detailed photo.

I'm a gun owner. And this infuriates me in a way that I can't even put in to words. There is technology out there that can bar code shells/casings.

Not only does it connect to the weapon used but I'm sure it could be connected to the box/batch of ammo purchased.

And I've said for years that there should be regulations/restrictions that add an extreme tax on ammo that is then reduced to zero at time of purchase when a driver's license/ID is shown that has a weapon's safety designation assigned to the license/ID from taking a class. The class should be taken every three to four years.

It's ridiculous that we don't have stricter regulation on weapons that are extremely efficient at killing people.

Well, this is a little disturbing. I didn't even come close. I mean… am I even really a lesbian?

Okay, look... middle row. An argument *could* be made for me being into sports. I like baseball. Look at all the baseball caps with wren birdies embroidered on the front. And I like watching the Olympics. Granted it's mostly because of the cute archer women but it counts!

Timberlands... not gonna happen. Nope. ☹️

Wait. Wayyyyyttt. My boots from my post earlier today! They're not Timbs but they KYYYYNDA look Timberland adjacent??? I'm taking it.

Okay. So.
That leaves U-Haulin'.
Alright. Who's gonna help a girl out with this so I can get over this identity crisis and chalk up a W?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this will be one of, if not THE, most satisfying things you see on the internet all month.

While the article below is talking about his burger place in Houston named after Orange Shitler, he's had a location in a small town outside of Houston for about four years.

I just came across a video on the clock site of someone (Female Assigned At Birth) talking about being at a VA urgent care facility.

They said one of the questions asked at intake was:
"is there anything physically preventing you from having a child?"

They went on to say the conversation with the nurse went with them asking if this was a new question with this administration.

The intake nurse answered, "Yes. It's a new question." And the person telling the story shows how the nurse gave a knowing wink.

There are a lot of comments from nurses who are saying you do NOT have to answer that question and advising to not answer that question.

Not sure how or if this can be verified that the convo actually happened. But there has been some chatter on the interwebz about The Esther Project, which on the surface is a move to curbing antisemitism in the U.S. Many feel it's a stepping stone toward a theocracy here. So that on top of so many people making comparisons to events in recent years toward the Handmaid's Tale and this is some really screwed up shit if that tiktok user is telling the truth in that video about that question being asked.

On my way to get my swole onnnn.
Unfortunately, not the good kind where you wear your stretchy pants and eat a lot of pie.

It's International Non-binary People's Day.

Happy gender fuckery to all my fellow enbies.

What? I know right? Wren an enby?
Yeah. Not all enbies look like an androgynous waif or like Ardhanarishvara but that would be kinda cool, right? See pic below.

I lean pretty hard toward the feminine. I use feminine pronouns, feminine endearments, always call myself a woman and so on and so on. I still feel rather enby-licious as far as the old gender thing goes though. Weird right.

Trans girls are weird. Ooops shit... see? I did it again.

Happy day to all the enbies.

CW: transphobia and some random dude calling me a cunt.

Kind of related to my previous post, I let my foul mood and overall disdain for my current situation get the better of me on another platform and I was not my higher self.

But I learned something that I think can be added to my #HowToGirl list. Sometimes, and especially for trans women, when a puny little incel calls you a "stupid cunt" it's oddly affirming and will have you feeling like you've truly made it into the ranks of womanhood.

Yay me!!!

@tayfonay
This sort of conversation happened with my wife and her aunt who is deeply entrenched in conservative media.

When my wife told her of the SAVE Act, she didn't believe my wife at first. So she sat there and google it with her and came across a couple of links that pointed to the text of the bill and just like your mother...

astonishment.

How can they do this? And other questions. She did NOT however think about how this might affect trans people who have changed their names or anyone, for that matter who has legally changed their names.

It's one of the things that infuriates me so much about the MAGA voter regret. It's that they didn't care about how it would hurt brown people or trans people or women or anyone else. But when GOP policies affect them personally, it's only then that the regret sets in.

One more for this last day of Pride Month 2025. I love what this young woman says about trans men.

Much love to all my trans brothers and trans masc siblings. You guys are friggin' gorgeous and am in awe of how you are redefining masculinity.

This dragon ready just in case the bridge ices over.

Okay... one more installment of "How to Girl" before my hormoniversary tomorrow.

If you haven't seen these and wondering what the heck I'm talking about the five year mark of me starting hormone therapy is tomorrow. And I've been reflecting on some things I've learned on this ride.

From my cisters I’ve learned of The Girl Code.  It’s unwritten although entries online would have you believe it is.  It isn’t necessarily handed down but it is.  You know it when you see it. There are some aspects that are vague and others that are as strong as if written on stone tablets.

These are some notable aspects for me.
— Women lift women up.  
We encourage each other and inspire each other.

— Women take care of each other and look out for each other.

— Women don’t let a guy (or for the lebesians… a woman) get in the way of friendships.

These are just a few of the things that I've learned and I find it really affirming and special that I've had other women do some of these things for me.

Today the Supreme Court issued its ruling on the United States. v Skrmetti and it's heartbreaking. I thought that Chase Strangio gave a solid argument for the plaintiffs but the conservative judges thought differently.

And so now this ruling sets a precedent that will not only negatively affect trans teens but could, and most likely will, affect trans adults and their ability to access gender affirming healthcare.

This is a terrible blow to the Equal Protection and Privacy Clauses of the 14th Amendment.

We in the #trans community don't have very many elders. We don't have many examples of trans people who have been transitioning for more than 30 or 40yrs. I can only think of three: actor Alexandra Billings and activist Mardi Pieronek are two who both have been transitioning for about 40+ yrs.

And if you wondering why we don't have very many trans folks who started transitioning in the 80s and earlier it's because the zeitgeist at that time wrecked our community. To have someone like Jazz Jennings or began social transition in single digits of age and then medically transition as a late teen???... we don't have people who did that who are now 50, 60 or 70 years old.

BUT... we have do have one of those three I know of here. I'm so thankful that we have one of our beautiful, amazing trans elders here on Mastodon giving voice to what we, who only recently began transitioning, can expect as we continue down this road. She often gives us a first hand account of our history, shows that we have to keep fighting and encourages us to know we can in fact have joy throughout our lives.

@oldladyplays we love you!!!
