I want to say one more thing as a cis person who experimented with labels over the years, questioned my gender, and ended up as cis after all. The trans community did not “indoctrinate” me. I had always been asking these questions, even as a little kid before I knew trans people even existed. Over the years, trans women gave me the courage to explore the femininity I wasted my youth denying, trans men taught me that manhood is what you make of it and that nobody could tell me how to define it, and nonbinary people taught me just how limitless my possibilities were. The only parts of my upbringing that left me “confused” about gender were the conservatives who imposed a vision of gender that my friends and I could not relate to. And when I realized trans identity wasn’t something I could claim after all, the community loved me all the same. I am happier, and the world is more beautiful, because of trans people. The human impulse to create and survive isn’t going anywhere, and neither are trans people.
begging people to realize that “androgynous” is not code for “somewhere on the soft butch to elven twink continuum”
androgyny can & does mean big tits and huge beards and thick dark body hair and cock bulge and fat rolls and dark skin btw and i am soooo sick and tired of people talking about “androgyny” when they only mean a specific form of androgyny that prioritizes the least amount of visible sex characteristics possible alongside “ethereal” whiteness and thinness stop defining androgyny by lack im gonna go insane
Huge fan of human connection, and love, and loss, and laying in the dark at night with the fan on thinking about things other people taught me and crying grateful happy tears
hold untouched and fully operational hotels in the wailea area accountable. demand that they open their doors to displaced residents.
andaz, grand wailea, four seasons, and fairmont are all hotels that are still operating. call them. email them. leave reviews. urge them to ACT and step up as temporary shelters.
