I've found that this attitude goes hand in hand with a failure to realize that every single issue that is now labelled "radical trans activism" was a compromise trans people won with those in power that power is now reneging on.

I am obsessed with the idea of this game-art-memorial piece. A tiny snapshot of a human, the weird distant intimacy of going through the things of someone who is no longer there, of piecing together a life through an incomplete game. Amabel Holland is on a whole fucking other level.

A cross stitch of a rainbow heart and a blushing frog on purple aida fabric.  The photo is staged with rainbow beads, flowers, and a part of a Pride flag. BAD Stitch.

Part of the "broken clock being right twice a day" thing is that when you hit one of those two times in the day you don't go "well I guess I had clock all wrong" or "looks like the clock is finally working again"

Been watching more stand-up over the past few years, and something I've noticed pretty consistently: cis comedians can write genuinely funny jokes that mock trans people, but only when those jokes are grounded in actual insights that have been gained through proximity, curiosity, and receptivity.

I'm torn between wanting to drink up every word Amabel has to say about this game, versus wanting to shut my eyes and ears entirely and forget what little I've been told so I can just jump in with a blank slate.

Bottom surgery stats: I spend a daily average of 90 minutes dilating and <1 minutes having penetrative sex. I expect this ratio will shift over time, like interest vs principal payments on a long-term loan. Can I predict the point when this "debt" is paid off? Should I draw up an amortization table?

When I was in high school I read the book Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. It's a fourth wall breaking YA novel slash intro philosophy textbook but that's not important, what's important is that I thought the name was pretty and it stuck with me. I thought maybe I'd name a daughter Sophie someday.

Part 1!
Partially completed cross stitch in rainbow thread. The completed portion occupies only the upper left corner of a grid-marked piece of oatmeal aida cloth. The pattern appears to be abstract and geometric, possibly the beginnings of a QR code.

Text, over a blue and white background with the faint image of some large, hand-drawn black spikes emerging from the ground as a background image:

I'm sorry the plan I made for our anniversary date ran into some hitches.
Let's go over the points of friction together and figure out where I missed the mark.
Location. I suggested a lunchtime hiking trip through a maze of jagged black spikes. That's not the staging ground for a romantic picnic, it's a message (and part of a system of messages). Nobody wants to feel lectured to when they're trying to celebrate their relationship, and I should've considered that.
Respect. The area I took us to is very much not a place of honor. Today should've been about us making each other feel special. Instead, we went somewhere no esteemed deeds are commemorated, and where nothing valued is kept. That's enough to make anyone feel disrespected, and that's on me.
Health concerns.
There's a reason the nearby feline
population really stands out: the particular spot I directed you to is highly radioactive and extremely deadly to all life-including human life. So those symptoms you were telling me about make total sense, and at the rate they're progressing, our anniversary is going to end sooner than we'd like. I should have generated a date idea more suited for an organic life form such as yourself.Similar background situation to first image. More text:

Here's the good news: this won't happen again. I've updated my memory with details of this incident and installed guardrails to ensure I never, ever suggest such another excursion like this one.
Would you like me to help you draw up a will? I could also throw together some fun "last meal" ideas using the rations you already have, or even come up with some do-it-yourself palliative care tips.
I’ll be right here, so just let me know!

The gender marker was introduced as a paranoid reaction to the idea that it was possible to be unsure of someone's gender, and it will always be a mechanism for reprimanding those whose appearance doesn't meet expectations in line with what it says on the ID.

What you don't do is start by saying you're fine with the guy feeding trans people to the leopards and then, when trans people say they won't vote to be fed to leopards, respond by saying "well the other guy wants to feed you AND OTHERS to the leopards. So get on board, bud."
