  • On a side note, I had a chat with a trans friend once, regarding emotions. When they transitioned, the intensity of their emotions didn’t change much. However, their ability to contain them plummeted

    In my experience this isn’t universal. I’m trans myself, and I’ve talked about this with a lot of my trans friends and we’ve all had pretty different experiences with the emotional aspects of transitioning.

    Personally, I definitely had a really hard time containing my emotions early transition. They felt so unfamiliar. It felt like I had gained an entirely new set of emotions, and I had to relearn how to cope with them. It didn’t help that I was going through the early stages of puberty-which is already a time of heightened emotions-while dealing with the loss of my entire support network.

    Now that I’m more settled into my life as a woman: I’m accustomed to how I experience my emotions, I have a loving support network around me, and I’m in a new job where people treat me with respect; I feel like I have a much firmer handle on my emotions than I ever did pre-transiton.









  • Can’t have a revolution without some bloodshed, and until we have a revolution ordinary people are going to continue dying by the thousands.

    I mean, if you wanna look down your nose from up on your high horse, go ahead. But we’re dying down here. We’re being brutalized. I think we have a fucking right to cheer on the one person in recent memory to give us a tiny scrap of justice.

    We get beaten and scapegoated anytime we have a peaceful protest. The ruling class has been asking for this for a long time.
