"To create something as a trans woman is to extend oneself beyond the carnal. As our ideas of gender shift, the creativity of trans women is making this change known and felt. As cis people at large begin to feel this shift, they are already reacting to us. We are being kept out of bathrooms, shelters, and history. A trans woman defending herself through creativity is a way to ensure the cisgender gaze no longer controls us."

how about a tiny skateboard and the caption "tony the hawk"?

joke about impostor syndrome, not serious
@phseiff
ah i see.. do you benefit from affirmations/deconstructing premises?
if you do:
there is no right or wrong way to be any gender. you don't have to perform gender at all time. nobody knows you better than you.
its normal to feel these things. i hope you can find the self security you are looking for.
(my agender perspective on gender makes it look like a skill sometimes)

gatekeeper voice: are you sure you aren't just filled half?
(you are more capable than you think. its okay to be invested into something just a bit.)
ableism, the first rule of thumb we want everyone to learn
don't use medical language as an insult
that's names of personality disorders, developmental disorders, widely-documented neurodivergences, classes of injury, none of it
go ahead and get rid of references to drugs, too, while you're at it
talk about what people do and are doing and keep doing, not about what medicalized group you assume is sufficiently inferior to 'normal' people to do what they do

I know most people don't understand what the big deal is with masks. The "big" deal with masks is they are so small and insignificant a "sacrifice" to help vulnerable people that it makes it abundantly clear that every other fight we are up against will be unattainable if the inconvenience is modestly above that. Yes, that is why all these other fights have suddenly risen altogether. They see how little comfort you will give up to help another. So-called leftists caved, they saw opportunity.
Coronavirus, Long Covid, ME/CFS
Seems it might not be common knowledge that if you have covid, you *mustn't* push yourself to build your activity levels back to normal. There's a high likelihood that Long Covid is a type of ME/CFS, a disabling chronic illness which often follows a viral infection. Everyone with ME will tell you: do not push yourself! At that delicate phase of recovery you could seriously risk becoming permanently disabled. Rest as much as possible, and err on the safe side!
