Mae Dean quote-boosted the author that wrote this blog post on Bluesky and I figured linking it here would be useful for my followers, particularly #transfems planning on/currently taking/thinking about taking #estrogen and maybe #progesterone if uncertain about the 1-2 year "maximum effect" thing studies mention, because (spoiler) they weren't long enough: https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/transition-timelines
Please see information about a 20 minutes online study to learn more about how transgender (including non-binary) and cisgender people feel about their appearance. The study will help researchers learn more about how to provide psychological support for transgender people.

I can't imagine being as successful and imaginative as #JKRowling, and dedicating my life to the perpetual harassment of #transwomen. Like, what the hell went wrong in her life to trigger a detour from the money and the adoration of fans to target a vulnerable minority demographic? It's just so weird. And it's only trans-women she has a problem with. She never says anything about #transmen. Maybe someday we'll learn her origin story.
Content warning: Reference to conversion practices.
More than a quarter of Asian trans people have been subjected to conversion practices. It's time to ban conversion practices and that ban must include trans people.

"Dark-skinned Black trans girls need the spotlight too... it's unfortunate that was when she got to get her glory, and when we saw her finally get her flowers, it was after death. Sadly, that is just the reality for so many Black trans folks."

I just got home from my #HRT followup with the endo I've been using for several years now. I love him. He listens, and he is friendly and respectful. He works in the "Transitions of Care" center at Grady hospital in Atlanta.
The big news is: I am getting off of E tablets and changing to patches.

Support trans women. That includes the woman from the hood. The loud one.The sexworker. The dropout. The one whose hair aint laid and outfit ain't always on point. The one with clear mental health issues. The one with nowhere to go. Not just the models, writers, and public figures.
What's amazing about Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" is that he saw #transwomen as human beings half a century ago and far too many people today infuriatingly don't do that.
Trans rights activist seeks representation in Censor Board after watching Vishal’s Mark Antony
Outraged by the trans slurs used in the recent Tamil film Mark Antony, Trans rights activist and theatre artist Living Smile Vidya demanded Queer/Trans representation in the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Bengaluru police arrest two trans women under controversial Anti-beggary Act
These arrests are emblematic of a larger issue: the arbitrary enforcement of a law that was ostensibly designed to address begging but has instead become a tool to penalise individuals facing socio-economic hardships.
I can sort of understand the concern about males and females not competing in physical sports as it would give an unfair advantage usually to males but I can’t see why there is even a male and female split in chess at all.
One of the many reasons I adore trans women is that they inspire me hardcore to fling caution aside and just thoroughly, richly celebrate myself in any damn way I see fit. #transwomen💜
My husband made this 3 years ago today. Since then I've shared it dozens of times. It still makes me tear up every single time I look at it.
