given all the rising transphobia and shit, we should remember that white trannies are still relatively safe and will be able to endure more escalation more easily, we're not at the top of any shit list even if we near if, trans women of color however are very vulnerable, and we need to remember they're our sisters, not our shields
The Black Trans Travel Fund is a Black trans-led collective rooted in self-advocacy and mutual aid for Black trans women globally, our mission is to provide travel support, connect communities internationally, and establish paths towards opportunities, safety, and success.
Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?
Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw
Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.

had a funny interaction with a customer earlier and i think it would be best told in green text format

>work at a burger place, cashier today
>customer is chatting my ear off
>she tells a story about realizing her daughter was pregnant when she was here with her years ago bc she was craving pickles
>me: "oh yeah. my girlfriend gets estrogen shots sometimes and it causes her to crave pickles too."
>i don't actually remember if the pickle craving thing is true. sometimes i fabricate incorrect details of memories without realizing it and sometimes i lie to strangers for fun. i don't remember which happened here.
>woman's eyes grow wide
>her: "if she's getting estrogen shots then i suppose she's not going to get pregnant at any point"
>me: "yeah, no, it'd be a miracle if she got pregnant. i'd be pretty shocked."
>her, genuinely confused and perhaps concerned: "you look really young to have a girlfriend on estrogen. don't you want a family?"
>me: O_O ??????
>realize she thinks my trans girlfriend is postmenopausal and that i'm her significantly younger cis male boytoy

Text: Don’t act like everyone loved my father. He was assassinated. A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America. Most hated. Many who quote him now and evoke him to deter justice today would likely hate, and may already hate, the authentic King.
