@dgcomedy.bsky.social hi DG, big fan of your comedy and the Beans. I think you're a great communicator, and I figured it couldn't hurt to ask if you might peruse my Substack and give me feedback on sharpening my communication. I use my experience to show my 🏳️‍⚧️ sisters and brothers why it'll all be ok

All the Hasan hysteria lately has only solidified one thing for me: I'd so let him. And I was talking to my wife about all the nonsense lately and mentioned that my guy could hit it, and she said she'd be down too except that then Fox would start thirsting for us every night too..😅

To the cis women: you all know the structural disadvantages that come with womanhood. We should be your greatest friends, precisely because we fight tooth and nail to walk beside you in those disadvantages in full knowledge that we'll be making a target of ourselves in the process.

One of the greatest days of my life when this finally happened, after an eternity of nothing working. To all my sisters that are feeling discouraged, it took a year of the Dr trying everything under the sun, and when this happened she hadn't changed any med or dosing in 6mo. Keep your head up 🏳️‍⚧️

The single biggest thing that made it so transphobe bullshit rolls off my back was the court hearing I had to do to change my name and birth certificate. Something about surviving the interrogation by the judge and hearing her state that my state accepted who I am made the hate feel like weak noise.

When idiots ask "What is a woman" I reply thusly: Woman is the most exalted state a human can aspire to. Say I'll never be a "real" woman all you want; in the same way "real" Christians will never be Christ, I'm ok with never being a "real" woman, but I'll come a lot closer than they will to Christ😉

No joke, I spent my childhood wanting to grow up to be Dolly Parton. I saw 9 to 5 in elementary school and was absolutely mesmerized by her. When I later found out she was an amazing singer and possibly the kindest person alive, I made up my mind I'd try to be like her. RIP to the true Great One 🕊️

If you want proof that womanhood is the highest state a human can aspire to, just take a look at how terrified the big bad alpha male tough guys are of it. There is no higher compliment than being told you do something "like a girl".

It just occurred to me that although us trans girls get called dolls, I've never heard an equivalent name for our brothers. Is there one that our trans guys have taken on as their own and I just haven't run across it yet, or do we need to come up with one? Justice for the trans mascs..😋

One piece of advice for my trans sisters and brothers: do yourself a favor and never assume you know how people will react to who you really are. Just like the transphobes can't actually "always tell", we can't always predict how people around us will act. 🏳️‍⚧️

Life as a trans woman is having an attack of imposter syndrome because you're not crying all the time and beating yourself up for six hours before realizing that of course you're not gonna do much crying when you're constantly in a state of pure joy you'd never understood was even possible. 🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️

Think about every man you've ever known: what's the one body part they would absolutely never under any circumstances voluntarily have removed? Yet somehow trans women, most of whom loathe that same body part and dearly wish for its removal, are just dudes right? I guess you just can't fix stupid 🤦

MAGAs saying things like "men in dresses" is a bright red warning sign about what they actually think of women. People who reduce a concept as enormous as womanhood to reproduction and fashion will never respect anyone they choose to put in that category, no matter who gets kept out of it.
