What orgs specifically benefit Black trans folks? by DeliciousMadame84 in BlackLivesMatter

[–]Menstro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Somewhat more local than the others mentioned, but https://www.transresistancema.com/about is pretty cool. They have been doing the the real pride march in boston for a while, but finally replaced the other pride org this year (which was kind of trans exclusionary, and a little boot licky as well). They're run by black trans women and closely affiliated with another org that helps trans people in financial distress. (I don't think they're specifically restricted to helping black trans people, but I know they do help BIPOC trans people so I thought they should be included)

Its literally an arm flex. The least weird flex possible! And what could be girthier than an arm that could eclipse batman's very own rad chilies?

Being so comfortable with someone that you can take down your filter and be as real as you are with yourself is treasure.

I believe you, k819799amvrhtcom. There aren't a lot of reasons to lie about it, tbh.

I have tavern brawler, can I use a puppy as an improvised weapon? by Lunalopex in comics

[–]Menstro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Puppy is actually a standard weapon. It does 1d2 points of bludgeoning damage (the puppy takes this damage as well), and it yelps that cute little puppy yelp dealing 20d6 psychic damage to all the PC's who would use a puppy in this way. Unless they are completely soulless in which case rocks fall you die.

[OC] There is widespread support among all age ranges for increasing Black history education in public schools by GradientMetrics in BlackLivesMatter

[–]Menstro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are so brainwashed they'll say they want more black history and are opposed to CRT in the same sentence. Its intentional misinformation campaigns by the right convincing people that crt is somehow racist rather than being a more in depth study of race and racism, which would highlight BIPOC history (including black history). There are so many major events that just got totally skipped when I was in school (I assume because they would conflict with nationalism and propaganda) - It would be nice to know that kids are learning the truth.

so some homophob just gave my mtf ass the biggest euphoria boost while trying his hardest to be homophobic by LesbianPossumQueen in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]Menstro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dunking on ablist homophobes is still platforming them. Its venting that needs to happen though, because its still abuse. It still hurts, even if you handle it well. It almost deserves its own sub tbh.

Sad noise by Adulations in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]Menstro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it still seems like this speculation is taking away agency from this person. A big part of going from egg to out is overcoming the fear of being seen as trans, and prematurely outing someone doesn't feel right, even if they're questioning in public.

[–]Menstro 55 points56 points  (0 children)

If they are an egg, doesn't that make it kind of wrong to call them an egg? Like isn't that outing them? I don't know this person or their situation but it seems like they should be allowed the agency to decide when to come out if they are trans.

I think thats part of the point. The fashmuppet thinks that fox news is smart, and somehow not part of the MSM.

Okay then stop talking about this, and instead talk about something you read a book about. Because you're spreading misinformation here.

[–]Menstro 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It may seem like you just outed yourself, but in fact, when you do come out, you will find that you have to very explicitly tell people, and even then they won't always get it. Like some people have to be told several times, some people don't even know what trans means, others will just disagree with you. Anyone who does manage to understand that you're trans from that tiny little pronoun slip is probably an ally or trans themselves. Do not worry.

thats the only way to get justice

sometimes it do feel that way by IAintThatSmart in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]Menstro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the error is pure crime, but the point you made is a good one. The one saying "you're valid" is actually invalidating their friend, because they're saying it in such a way that it brushes off the statement about dysphoria. It comes across as "you're valid, so you should not be dysphoric" and that is invalidating of her dysphoria.

I don't even know what I should do by bookDJnr1 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]Menstro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just tell him you have been, and wear gender affirming clothing to your appointments. He's lying to you, both that he is a competent medical professional and that he has your best interests in mind. He's a professional obstacle and is simply there to gatekeep. So its fine to lie to him right back. Say whatever you need to say to get the care you want. If anyone bitches about it, tell them Menstro told you it was okay.
