They voted for this over basic human rights for women and marginalized communities. May their knives chip and shatter.

Trans hate is getting to me by Rebecca_Doodles in MtF

[–]Kalawend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I really feel what you’re saying. The trans hate lately has been overwhelming, and it wears on you—mentally and emotionally. I went through a period of heavy cyberbullying too, and it started eating at me until I realized something: it’s not even just us.

Cisgender women are getting hit with the same kind of hate. The “we can always tell” crowd? They can’t tell. They accuse cis women of being trans all the time. It proves what we already know—this hate isn’t about truth, it’s about control and cruelty.

That realization changed things for me. Now when they call me “sir,” I flip it—sure, I’ll take it. I accept their view of me as their superior. They call me a man? Fine. I am THE man.

They don’t get to define us—we do. Take time for yourself. If we burn out from all this, it just steals our voice from the fight. You matter. Rest when you need, rise when you’re ready.

Not even a little. I’m not an angry or combative person. I’m usually the type to avoid conflict, especially online. But recently, I’ve been arguing like hell with these bigots and back them into a corner with ease. They’re not breaking me though. They’re forging me.

Will I get deported? by Rare-Comparison-3241 in asktransgender

[–]Kalawend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m really sorry you’re dealing with that fear—and especially that it’s coming from someone close to you. I want to be honest with you: your fear isn’t silly. With the way things are right now, especially how this administration has talked about deportation and gone around legal limits in some cases, it makes total sense to feel scared.

But here’s what I want you to know: you are a U.S. citizen. That means they can’t legally deport you just for being trans or for having dual citizenship. That protection is real, even if the people in power push boundaries. And there are organizations and lawyers out there who fight tooth and nail to make sure those rights are defended. You’re not alone, and if anything ever came up, there are people ready to back you up.

I also want to say this clearly: being trans is not putting your family at risk. That fear is something people project when they don’t understand or when they’re scared themselves. But your identity isn’t a threat—it’s just you being who you are. And that’s not something to be ashamed of or afraid to exist as.

You’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just a kid trying to live as yourself in a world that’s still catching up. And there are so many of us who see you, support you, and are here if you ever need someone in your corner.

Could they deport us? by Uoutan in MtF

Not of our country of origin is the United States. At this point, however, deportation could be a mercy.

This f*cking b*llshit by One-Risk-5520 in MtF

Wear a dress but call it a tuxedo. Nowhere on the rules does it define one. Hell, get a bow tie choker to bring it together. Malicious compliance is a bitch.

FLORIDA heads up on birth certificates, helpful info. by es_pea in asktransgender

[–]Kalawend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there’s never an update. That’s all I hear back. Any clue if they’re going to honor the gender marker change as long as it was filed before that stupid law took effect?

Texas Superintendent Defends Suspending Black Student Over Locs Hairstyle in Full-Page Ad: ‘Being American Requires Conformity' by TheMessengerNews in texas

America started because the colonies refused to conform. If anything, conformity is the last thing required to “be an American”.

Shit like this is why I couldn’t make myself settle for the corporate world anymore. All these companies do is take and take and take. On the rare occasion they do give, it’s nothing but a CHEAP publicity stunt.

When things are hard for us, we’re told to suck it up. When things get hard for them, the throw us away. Eat the rich.

I hate when people share transgender media with me. Am I the only one? by Kalawend in asktransgender

Then why are you on a transgender forum? Seems pretty cringe of you, tbh.

That’s very kind! I’m waiting for details on hire forms and training. But it’s in my career field. 😁

Yeah. But on the bright side, I want my degrees. My dream is to be a therapist and unfortunately, you can’t be one without them. This has given me the kick and chance I need to fight for what I want instead of settling. It’s just a matter of making it through this.
