Socialism is the star that never sets

@bloodandgutsyippee

Hello dears, my name is Michelle. I am a transgender woman (she/her pronouns please), twenty-nine years old, bisexual, and a white USAmerican. Also, I am a socialist and a transfeminist. Please be aware that this blog will contain sexual content from time to time.

tumblr has started giving me weight loss ads that start with the women already looking confident and pretty and wonderful. like wow she's 138 kilos good for her she looks amazing

it feels like a very absurd kind of post-body positivity but still fatphobic state where we want people to buy products to get more skinny but we also know it's Decidedly Not Woke to portray being fat as a bad thing that's inherently miserable so now we imagine a world where confident as fuck fat women still take the diet pills for no reason

Between rent, utilities, groceries, doctors appointments, meds, dental, and everything else I'm dangerously low on funds. And dealing with migraines, asthma, and probable carpal tunnel means I can't work as much as I used to either, ending in pitiful paychecks.

Any help to keep me fed, housed, and well enough to keep working is desperately needed ;w;

My hands are fucked up, I still owe the dentist, and gas and food are super expensive D: help

Anonymous asked:

if cis women are your oppressors, why do you want to be in their spaces?

you know honestly I don't really have an answer for why a trans woman would want to use the bathroom or have shelter from homelessness or have a place to change at the gym or be able to access healthcare relevant to body parts we have. you've got me stumped there

Abstracting "Women's Spaces" as if it's some social club tea party bullshit and we're sour for not being invited is so prevalent. In a gender segregated world, we are not allowed to exist!

Excerpt from Whipping Girl by Julia Serano. “get off twitter” “get off tumblr” “touch grass”. These issues have been plaguing “trans” spaces for decades. The platforming of trans masculinity and derision of trans femininity has been pushing trans women out of spaces that are supposedly safe for them since the 90s. I myself got pushed out of my colleges queer center because I held the position that medically transitioning *is not* transphobic.

what fucking world do transmascs live in where the most repressed, emotionally distant teenage characters you've ever seen, whose relationship with masculinity can best be described as a hostage situation, can nonetheless be transmasc and have fully transitioned off screen before the story even began without ever even mentioning it? is this just what being transmasc is like, or do they just hate acknowledging transfeminine experiences so much that they just have to rob us of it?
