Skirt go spin! <3

Hot take

Pinocchio was a puppet and therefore genderless, so he chose to be a boy

some absolutely terrifying shit being said in regards to the anti-trans youth bill in idaho

[Alt text, image 1: “Rep. Julianne Young, R-Blackfoot, said, ‘I see this conversation as an extension of the pro-life argument...We are not talking about the life of a child, but we are talking about the potential to give life to another generation. So in that sense, there is a nexus on this issue. I don’t see it as a contradiction.’”]

[Alt text, image 2: “Skaug, in his closing debate, said, ‘The ability to procreate is a fundamental right that must be protected for these children. Leave their bodies alone. Don’t let our children be sterilized.’” End alt text.]

there’s just...this very consistent theme of “protect our pure little baby girls’ wombs so they can keep pumping out babies for us”

they don’t specify gender in these quotes, but you know who they’re talking about. you know whose duty they believe it is to reproduce at all costs. you know who they’re always talking about when it becomes about “oh the poor children must be protected from themselves and these evil doctors”. you know exactly who and what they’re talking about the second they it’s “an extension of the pro-life argument” — they’re talking about forcing us to get pregnant. in fact, in case that’s not clear enough, the only individual trans person any of them mention (who, to be clear, is mentioned in a transphobic way) is a cousin who, judging by the style of misgendering, is a trans man

i feel like these perfectly (and disturbingly) highlight what’s actually behind the narrative that trans boys and transmasc kids are “in trouble” and “must be protected”: it’s the desire to force us to have their precious next generation, no matter what we want. people act like we’re somehow better off because “they don’t hate you, they just pity you” or “they say they care about you, how can they be hurting you that badly” but THIS is what the “pity” and the “care” actually is. it’s them vying for ownership of our bodies so they can do with us as they please

of course, all trans kids are going to be affected by this, there’s no denying that. it’s horrible for every single one, not just some. but it is still important to notice what rhetoric is fueling these attacks and who that rhetoric is most directly targeting. that’s not something you can ignore, even as you also acknowledge the harm it’ll do regardless

believe them when they say what their actual intentions are. believe when when they tell you this is NOT about our lives and it never has been. their “care” has always had an ulterior motive and now we’re seeing what weaponized pity can really do. they do not care whether we live or die. they do not care for us. they will not protect us any more than they will other trans people. this has only ever been about laying claim to our bodies so they can use us and then discard us

i never want to see another comment about how saying they care for us and pity us and that we’re just lost and confused “isn’t as bad” or “isn’t real oppression”. never. no more “they just pity you” — there is no “just” here, that in and of itself can be and now is violent. we’re all seeing firsthand what they intend to do with that “care” and that “pity” and those “lost confused kids”. i never want to see another person, ESPECIALLY another trans person, fall for those lies ever again because they have NEVER cared about us

Something about how wonderful and comforting it feels to meet an older trans person

"Director Phoebe Kemp said in a statement: “Twelfth Night already toys with gender and performance – it feels like Shakespeare wrote it for us. This reading is about joy, solidarity and showing what’s possible when trans and nonbinary artists are at the centre of the story.”"
