‘One hell of a turnout’: #trans activists rally in #London against gender ruling

This is AWESOME...!
I'm (technically) a cis woman (I also just see myself as an #autistic PERSON)

AND This "Ruling" sickens me.
I am NOT JUST my Boobs & "downstairs", or ovaries.
There's WAY MORE to being a WOMAN than THAT.

Also worries me about WHAT that MEANS for Trans Men??

SICKENINGLY ORWELLIAN

I will readily admit that I'm becoming a #DrBronners superfan, especially when I read their blog posts, including this powerful one on the recent #TransDayOfVisibility that provides an excellent list of organizations that they are supporting financially this year that advocate for true trans inclusion and acceptance.

Mary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS!

This is not from yesterday. This is from #TransDayOfVisibility

Look how many people turned out to march for trans rights while it was pissing down rain. And they just kept on right to Trump Tower. Well done, #Chicago! You were great yesterday too.

TIL: Dora Richter, a lacemaker, was a trans woman that wisely escaped Germany and fled to Czechoslovakia where she lived for many years making lace!

I missed it on #TransDayofVisibility because I don't go to Insta much, but Elena Kanagy-Loux has such amazing lace history knowledge. I am glad to know her story.

That’s the question a new art installation put to transgender and nonbinary Americans across the country, asking them to weave all their joys, frustrations and hopes into more than 250 panels that will form a massive quilt"

octo got nothing on #TransDayOfVisibility but a report on her first mutual aid post she managed to make in an entire month. it's clear how badly people would rather her dead. octo is in debt from not meeting the last 3 months goals. she can't afford to eat & is battling suicidal ideation. she wants to live & escape abuse. there's nothing wrong with needing support in a society that murders people like her. please give her the flowers she deserves.

For my drive I picked out Elliott Page's memoir.

I know a celebrity is not a typical trans experience but the preview pulled me in. I hope it's a good listen.

I probably was influenced by #TransDayOfVisibility

I don't know why conservative minds categorize certain groups as unacceptable. I understand why right wing politicians rely on scapegoats to rile up voters & distract them from economic inequality.

When I lack understanding I crave education to fill the gaps in my experience.

I posted to meow.social about this for TDOV already, but to no avail.

I'm a (literally)starving nonbinary shitposter and occasional artist who recently got out of the psychiatric hospital and I need money if I don't want to end up back in there. I have no income, and no money saved up, and my life is getting increasingly difficult

Bonus: If you have a fursona and donate $5 or more I'll try using them for anatomy practice. No guarantees on when though, and they have to be kinda simple

Because contrary to many of his peers Eguchi's girls were pretty but not designed for the male gaze. This wasn't accidental because he wasn't drawing the object of his desires but rather what he would have wanted to be. In his own words:

> The ideal girl for me is the one I would have wanted to become if I was born a girl, it is not the girl I would dream to date, it is really the frustration of not being born as a girl which fuels my drawings.

Given today is #TransDayOfVisibility here's an interesting tidbit: among the flood of AI generated slop that's been thrown around you'll find plenty of AI-generated fake '80s japanese synthpop music usually presented with images of pretty girls as the cover image. The style used for the girls in those videos is very often a shameful ripoff of Hisashi Eguchi's. A mangaka known for his beautiful and fashionable drawings. Why is that relevant today?

Trans people exist at the nexus of life-avenues that these three things feel safe targeting.

That's it! That's all we did! It's fucking incidental that we're treated bad -- it is nothing to do with what we are -- it isn't earned.

I don't feel able to be visibly trans in Georgia, because these three things exist here. Both in the Georgian culture, and in the growing negative influence from Russia, a really sick society.

This was also identically true in America. It's both an internal problem, and an externally-influenced one. Machismo-religion-misery. They've all got to be addressed, because they influence and exacerbate each other.

Absent of these three social pressures, trans people are beautiful, normal people. And living a fun and meaning-filled life is completely probable.

Machismo can be met with the visibility and activism of those whose circumstances give them the ability to stand up for DEI, "modern culture", progressivism, and human equality. Loudly, often, and shamelessly.

Religion needs to be kept in check with a respect for the scientific reality of diversity, and how this huge world is still revealing so much to us.

Misery can be addressed with things like UBI, compassionate discourse (all of us need to do this), and cultivating some self-respect as a society.

Trans people are full of these energies. Whether we are out and visible, or working on things in solitude, we are HERE and we are so necessary for the future.

The three poisons I see across the cultures I've been in:

Male machismo -- it looks different in different parts of the world, but boils down to a terrified, insecure pecking order among men that looks (to an outsider) like weakness.

Religion -- when it's the most potent identity-facet a person can access, boy do they cling to it like a life preserver. They do whatever it says. And want to bash whatever it prohibits. It's like a kid trying over-hard to prove themselves to a stern parent.

Misery -- most people don't have the intestinal fortitude to keep from passing on to others the shitty feelings that a hard life fills them with. Average people do this by toying with the oppressed, in the coward's manner of "as much as they can get away with." And the powerful do this by treating everyone else like contemptible toys. It spreads, and becomes a social contagion, then a plague, then a rot at the heart of a culture.
