even tho I'm a cis lesbian, I hate seeing people say stuff like "I hate men" "KAM" and "cis guys are the worst" and yk, anything else about men being bad because;
1. The whole point of feminism is that nobody should be treated differently purely because of their gender
2. Saying all men suck is making an assumption based on an irrelevant category, and barely any different to ideologies like "all women want is your wallet"
3. By specifying cis guys you are separating trans and cis men, as if trans guys aren't literally men, which results in you being transphobic (regardless of whether or not that was your intent)
4. Men who see people online talking about hating men are probably going to be offended - and they have every right to be - which over time only results in them becoming more sexist (and the last thing we need are more tate-riders)
5. There are shitty people in every gender category - men, women, non binary or whatever else one identifies as, because gender holds no regard to moral value
There's probably a million other reasons but at the end of the day it's shitty to say that you don't care for men because let's be honest, we shouldn't be making assumptions based on gender because that's kind of why feminists have been getting pissed at men for like thousands of years...

If you had a spirit guide…
…what would it be like?
If a perfect multidimensional being were to interface with your consciousness in order to facilitate your awakening process, in what form would it appear to you?
Would it seem angelic or earthy or cosmic?
Would it be physical or just an intangible presence? Or perhaps a sound?
Would it be humanoid or animal or entirely alien?
Would it go by the name of a god(dess), spirit, or demon?
Would it have a sense of humor or be dry and direct?
Would it present a known gender or a yet to be discovered gender or a nonbinary gender or be entirely undescribed by gender?
How would it talk to you? As a beloved a child, a lover, a friend, a partner, a soldier, a monk, a sorcerer?
What sort of advice or empowerment might this incredibly powerful being bestow upon you in times of need?
A fun exercise. You’ll get the most out of it if you don’t take it too seriously.

This is not a perfect list; gender and orientation can be much more nuanced than we can represent in a tumblr poll. For instance, you can be aromantic and bi, or you can be not really cis but not consider yourself trans. Please choose the answer that is the closest, and you're welcome to clarify in the tags.
Cis means you identify as the gender you were assigned at birth.
Trans is an umbrella term that means you do not identify with your assigned gender, and includes all genders that are not cis man or cis woman. this includes nonbinary, genderfluid, etc.
Mspec stands for multiple-spectrum and is an umbrella term for anyone who likes more than one gender. this includes bi, pan, omni, poly(sexual/romantic, not referring to polygamous or polyamorous), and many others.

"I’m Lola, a Black transfemme living in Nigeria, where my existence is illegal with two decades of jail time. I got kicked out by my parents after I was forcefully outed and am currently in a homeless shelter.
I’ve been harassed multiple times, and recently, I was followed and harassed by four men near the shelter who threatened to kill me and split my head open. My life is in danger, and I’m facing homelessness as the shelter will be shut down by this month’s end. Being homeless as trans woman or transfemme in Nigeria is a death sentence
I’m also dealing with suicidal thoughts from gender dysphoria and a lack of access to HRT.
I’m seeking help so I can afford safe housing and gender affirming care so I can transition safely and save my life. This GoFundMe is the second one created because of problems with the first."
Lola is currently living on the streets because their homeless shelter kicked them out when they reported transphobic harassent and violence. they've been attacked, and they need food and money for a place to stay.
if you prefer not to donate to the GFM, you can send money to Lola through P*yP*l here: paypal.me/angelsaxis

Hey. Cis allies. Next time, instead of going on an hour-long argument with a stranger about trans rights, buy your trans friend lunch. Give them a compliment. Hug them. Hang out together. Have fun.
Trust me, trans people benefit far more from a kind gesture towards them than seeing transphobia over and over, even if you're fighting against it.

I've met him in person btw and he's a fucking sweetheart
[ID: Text-intensive Twitter thread from the Shapeshifters chest binders Twitter account in reply to a post by artist and author Ursula Vernon. Vernon says, A non-zero number of you apparently did not know that The Last Unicorn was a book before it was a movie. It is by Peter S. Beagle. It is made of spun glass and fairytales and iron knives and there are individual lines that I would give my lungs to have written. Shapechangers replies, I saw him every year at NYCC for several years straight, bought something at his table, asked him to sign it, and we spoke. He remembered me from year to year, no small feat at that con. He remembered which stories he'd told me. One year I came back with a different gender on. He squinted at me a bit and said thoughtfully, "I've seen you before in this place." All I had to say was, "last year you told me the story about the inoshishi." And his face cleared, and he leaned in with a grin and told me about a German guitarist who he traveled with, twice. Who transitioned between the first and second time, so he'd gotten to meet this person all over again on the second round. It was a wonderfully kind way to let me know that everything was fine. I was fresh out of the closet and I needed that, and maybe he could see it. The Last Unicorn is the best book in the world and I will defend it and its author til I die. the end. /end ID]
I don't usually talk about celebrities; artists, when I do, and I'm keenly aware that one needn't be a good person to be a hell of a heartwrenching artist.
But Peter S. Beagle has written a few of my favorite things in the world, he's an excellent singer and filker, and this Twitter thread was dreadfully important to me. I don't want it going away as Twitter becomes Shitter, because it's so often bad news, isn't it? It's important to me to share trans joy.

We all know how violent police are to queer people. Nigeria is no different.
I'm trying to help a Nigerian trans femme named Lola with survival funds, but donations have seriously slowed down over the last few months. She's sick, she's hungry, her job isn't paying her well at all, and she's just been attacked by the corrupt and violent cops in Nigeria. SARS (Nigerian police/special task for basically) is notorious for harassing the shit out of people, especially queer Nigerians or anyone who doesn't look cishet.
Lola needs funds for food, medicine, and her HRT since she's been inconsistent on it due to a lack of money. The cops robbed even though she begged them not to because she was sick.
This isn't the first time she's been attacked and it likely won't be the last. Please help in any way that you can. We're not starting at zero, but we've got a long way to go.
